I actually want to recreate minions before they die. I did this in GW1 all the time.
When you are about to go into a fight, then create your minions and that way they are at full health to start the fight. No nasty cool downs during the fight.
And I agree, no cool downs when a minion dies. Start the cool down when the minion is created not when it dies. Don’t penalize me during a fight to create a new minion if it’s been a while since I created it.
If I have a blood fiend – first minion I guess. Then I can trash him and refresh him at will. But a Bone fiend is not that way. the skill when it’s alive is Immobilize not Refresh or Resummon. So I’m hanging out with a bone fiend with almost no health. What good is that. One hit. And like you mention, he doesn’t heal, which I guess I can understand. But remember those GW1 days when the healers actually kept the minions alive and healed them up? No way to heal this one, and no way to trash it and make a new one to enter the next fight. Bla…
