Guild Wars 2

Hey!

So I was leveling my necro, when I found that my minions just die whenever they feel like it. Whitout a warning, all minions skills just go on cooldown, and each of you minions die.

So after this has gotten me mad quite a few times, my friend helped me investigate the issue, here is what we got:

Issue: Minions die for no reason, all minion skills go no cooldown (like on normal death)

Occurance: As far as I know it only occurs in PvE (altough haven’t tested in PvP or WvW). When you are traveling around, your minions suddenly collapse – notable in low level areas. After some investigation, we found that it happens when the map scales you down, and assigns you with a new level (eg.: your real level is 80, but you are scaled down to 16 in one area, and you enter in another area where you are scaled down to 18).

Cause: It seems to be an issue with the Death Magic traitline X trait (Flesh of the Master). I’m guessing the game reassigns the trait every time to adjust it to your current level, thus causing all minions to die.

Suggestion: Hire me to Anet QA. I need a new job

you are correct..lol i have posted like a dozen topics on this since the 9th ..i think..and bug reports..Anet doesn’t seem to care about the necro’s….i can guarantee if minions was one-hit killing it would have been fixed in a day..but us losing our minions every time we explore or walk to much they don’t care it seems..

It’s a similar case for the mesmer mantra bug that reduces your 3 charges down to 2 on every level scaling transition.

I’m curious now if it will happen to things like spirit weapons, elementals, and turrets.

Same here, when changing to different area’s they all stop and die….
