Necro Minion Stats? - Guild Wars Forums

Aedra · Apr 02, 2005, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Does anyone know any specific info (armor, damage etc.) on the 3 different minions? I'm wondering if a bone minion is equal in power with a bone horror if they are equal in level. Also do fiends do more damage than horrors? I've only used horrors so far.

Ok, well I dont know exact stats, but I have beaten the game with my summon necro and here's what ive noticed, Bone Horrors have better armor, slower attack spped and deal less damage than Bone Fiends. Bone Fiends have a slightly better ai, basically they will tend to attack the same targets and concetrate their fire, but then again, they also tend to float in the air and get distracted by things that I cant see, but all minions do that.
As for Bone Minions, they are like bone horrors except that at equal level, they deal a little less damage and have slightly fewer hit points. But because of their low level, i never use them, they die in one hit to almost everything you fight late in the game, even with a 15 in death magic, it would be 16 but i cant find a damn superior rune

Anyways, the only thing I would recomend Minions for would be if you are a minion nuker, summon minions then cast death nova and taste of death, HP + boom. But I dont do that so i never equip minions.
When it comes right down to it, I think that Bone fiends are the most bang for your buck. They attack together and deal a lot of damage, but they lack the tanking abilities of bone horrors, so a balance is always ideal.
The one thing that I have tested definitely about them, is that the rate at which their health degens increases over time. I kept a bone fiend alive for over an hour with the help of my roommate, a healing monk, and by the end he went from full health to dead in under 5 seconds

I hope I answered your question.
