Ok, you have to go into your inventory and switch them out from that panel. Double clicking or right clicking to equip doesn’t allow them to be swapped out. Thanks for that info!
One of the things that has haunted me sense the betas is the fact that minion AI for the necromancers melee pets stalls or stops attacking. Or never attacks at all.
As far as I know this is a well documented bug. Developers have even acknowledged it but there’s been no news on this at all.
My Question is to ANY person that can enlighten me and others I assume as to were they might be in fixing this very annoying bug. (please say this upcoming feature patch). Thanks.
I love the necromancer class in every game I play. that being said I’m only trying for constructive criticism here. to the OP it’s more like 10 months if you count the betas that the AI on all pets have been fairly unresponsive .but especially noticeable on the necromancer . I have to say that I disagree with any such talk about delays, and any talk about minions working after you use their utility skill. even though it seems that is the case. I believe it’s a pathing issue, and this is some thing you can check for yourself. if you pay close attention you will see that the Melee minions will fall behind while running unlike other pets that will stay up next to or even in front of your character as you move. because of this if your character starts an attack while this is happening the minions never engage. now to test my theory all you have to do is click on the ground to disengage your target, and then re engage the target. you will notice that the minions have caught up to you and now will instantly attack the target .this can only be a pathing issue. and I wish they would fix it after 10 months :-(
No, you don’t get it from the bone minions, but you do get it with a jagged horror. Watch the green bubbles. Also, stand near a guard being attacked by a mob. It’s buggy, but most of the time you get lifeforce from the friendly guard dying.
Again i have tested this 3 times now to make sure, no minions give you life froce when thay die. Not even jagged horrors. I’ll have to test the guard thing later.
@skliros. If that was true when i make 2 bone minions with 0% life force, and blow them up, you would get some % of life force !!! you dont . Try it for your self .
@ Elethor. As soon as you attack that critter he becomes a foe. i have never seen in 200+ hours of play 1 green bubble come from a allie. And GW2 wiki defines life force as (Life force is gained when foes die nearby ) .
