Guild Wars 2

i personally use the bone minions (i use them often especially on a 20 second cd), flesh wurm (cause i feel that every build needs a stun break), shadow fiend (Shadow instead of bone cause wh immobilize for 2 sec when you can just out run them with necrotic travel and kitten like that. lastly flesh golem….. as kitten as he is, hes all we got… also it not kitten STOP CENSORING ME. as kitten AS the golem is, its all we got. kitten the censorship

Bone Minions, especially if you’re frequently up in combat. Basically doesn’t allow their AI to glitch because you can pop them for a bit of burst as soon as you summon them. Haven’t had much practice with the wurm, though with the patch improving the teleport to at least ignore vertical changes in terrain I’ll give it a whirl next chance I get.

If you are a pure MM all your utilities should be minions !
This my build http://tinyurl.com/Pure-MM-build

the wurm is a minion. so it is all minions haha i trait it 20/0/30/20/0 btw. just the basic stuff

I use Blood Fiend (the buff to them is noticeable), Bone Minions, and Flesh Golem. I find that its more effective to focus more on killing your minions for death nova than keeping them alive to do meager dps.

By not filling out your utilities with all minions you can take other utilities like Well of Darkness or Spectral Walk, both of which will help you fight.

as MM i tend to switch between shade and wurm depending situation, how fast melee minions die. for example against bosses/www/dungeons wurm. for normal exploring shade.
and of course using minions on every slot.

Blood fiend
Bone fiend
Shade
Wurm
Golum

- Blood: healzors, extra minion, extra toughness ( trait )
- Bone: Decent damage, cripple, immobilize, I likez
- Shade: Blind
- Wurm: Good damage imo, stun breaker + GTFO button
- Golum: portable truck

So yeah, that’s my army. Allows me to solo champions ( though it takes some time ^^; ).

Build

blood fiend bone fiend, shadow fiend, bone minions, golem.

If you’re using death nova bone minions are a must as the bone minions are an incredible self combo. nuke damage->poison AOE-> self comboes for weakness.

If you aren’t using death nova the flesh wurm might be a better option as it still deals great single target damage from a long range. However you should keep in mind that it too self comboes with death nova.
