Guild Wars 2

I posted to this 4 month old thread and do not see where anything has changed.

ArenaNet, are you going to fix this problem with the Necro pets?

Jason King.2647:

We’re working on the minions’ behavior now and will be testing some changes to see how they work. Thank you for your patience, everyone!

I have not seen any improvement. I run my necro with pets all the time, but have not seen where there have been any changes to the pet AI at all.

Sometimes my Flesh Golem will attack, more often than not, he just stands there watching the enemy come for us. Occasionally, all pets will just swirl behind me and not do anything in the fighting except perhaps die.

I really like the idea of a pet necro build but am getting frustrated because I cannot do anything in this build.

It’s not just necro pets, ranger pets can be just as bad. Sometimes mine will only attack if I am within melee range, not great for a ranger.

I also have a Ranger, but I’ve not experienced many issues since they fixed the pet AI recently. Occasionally, my bear will not attack on command but normally, no problem.
