Minion Question - Guild Wars Forums

Just a quick question: When you hit the max number of minions (say 10 with 16 death magic) and you summon another, which minion dies?

Completely Random? Oldest Minion? Least Health?

According to Wiki, it's the one with the least health.

Additional minions summoned beyond this limit cause your minion with the fewest hitpoints remaining to die.

I take it that's not the official wiki you're quoting? (I couldn't find it there, and the other site is blocked at work)

What the Wiki says is true.
The Minion that has the least Health when you summon the 10:th Minion dies and thereby replaces it with a fresh one.

I'll vouch for that having predominantly played MMs for 3 years. You can see it's true by keeping an eye on the health bars of all your minions when casting the 10th. The one with the shortest health bar is always the first to go.

Only thing that ignores this is the Flesh Golem. That only dies when another Golem is animated, or it dies of its own health loss.
