Do Shourts (i.e. "GtfE!" ) affect minions? - Guild Wars Forums

Noticed shouts like "Charge" which Devona uses don't affect my assive army of minions. Does [skill=text]"Go for the Eyes!"[/skill] affect Minions' crit ratios?

According to my own tests, minions are affected by "Charge!". I don't know about "Go for the Eyes!", though.

"Allies" includes minions, pets and any friendly NPCs. "Party members" doesn't.

IIRC this was fixed in a recent update which made them only affect party members.

It should, according to the description. But then again, we all know that Anet sometimes lies in those skill descriptions.

GftE does affect pets though, the new little pet controls will tell you that. Which is a good indication that it does indeed affect minions too just like [skill]"Fall Back!"[/skill]. Only with "Fall Back!" you can see the effect as there is a visual clue, not just in speed. But with the bubbles of healing trainling after the minion army.

I think it' said in the update notes on the official site that some shouts/chants only affect party members now. Probably due to the use of those skills with minions. GftE doesn't seem to be one of them but as geekling pointed out, sometimes the descriptions aren't very accurate to what the skill does.
