Guild Wars 2

As the necromancer minions at current state more looks like some kind of demons. It would be more necrotic to actually spawn “risen”. Instead of that awful dead rats it should spawn peasents. Instead of that scorpion thingie with legs it skould be a risen noble. The bad Ghost should be a defiler and so on. Im in the impression GW2 necros is more Warlock then necro. I hate the minion looks at it current state and refuse to say they belong to necromancer. So either make new minions with new abilitys or just let us have new skins on current.

oh look! it’s this thread again…. -_-

It’s actually in the lore about GW Necromancers that they don’t ressurect dead people. They just use bones, flesh of the dead and bound them with necrotic powers to serve them. That’s why we won’t see rising dead dudes, as much as cool that would be (I’d ressurect Hambow Warrior and command him to faceroll everyone when chillin’. It even fits the theme, as brainless in life, as he was in death ;p ) .

We just make constructs. Not that it isn’t cool, because we could potentially construct any big motherkitten with it, according to the lore, Bone Golems etc…

I’d like to see optional minion reskin. Possibly through some kind of special quest maybe or by picking certain traits. Horror Porcupine?

Wouldn’t mind being able to replace the Flesh Golem with an Aatxe.

+1 to what Rym said, zombies aren’t lore-accurate (we are technically capable of doing it, but that would put us on the same “level” as Zhaitan, which as you could imagine might cause some issues with our already low popularity).

However, gem-shop skins should be added, lorebekitten ed. I want to summon a rabbit then blow it up (Bone Minions), and a giant Tibbers-like bear that can charge.

It would be extremely cool if they would subsitute those sick Jagged Horrors with something undead Karka Hatchling alike.

I don’t care if we dont get zombies or skeletons(even if they are the coolest undead minions a necro could want), I just want minions that actually look cool. Not little ratball dogtoys.

I don’t think skins are a bad idea. Don’t think its very plausible though.

Allowing color schemes would be nice though. Perhaps a few color templates/schemes you can choose from or unlock/purchase.

for example:

Rotting Minions – Greys / greens / blacks with maybe some greenish-gray vapors emitting from their bodies.
Spectral Minions – More blue and green with heavy ethereal effects
Blood Minions – Deeper reds and maybe some red glowing eyes and leave a blood trail.

Idk there could be lots of themes they could use
