is there a hotkey to target Minions? - Guild Wars Forums

A lot of Necro skills get cast on the necromancers minions... is there a hotkey to target these guys, or some other quick way to get them? Their names don't even show up when you hold down the "alt" key. How am i supposed to cast spells quickly on my bone horrors?

Any thoughts?

No there isn't. This is one reason I hate using minions. Ctrl does not work. You have to mouse over them to select them, not very practical in the heat of battle.

that's really terrible, especially since necro has so many skills that require the targetting of minions.

Death Nova+Bone Minions = very cool... but its such a pain in the ass since there's no easy way to target the buggers.

Actually the square bracket keys - [ & ] - will rotate through targets - including friendlies, might help
