Minion Cycling? - Guild Wars Forums

bna1987 · Mar 26, 2008, 03:31 AM // 03:31

This is a very brief question and I don't think it to be possible.

Here it goes...

Is there any way to cycle through your minions and continually cast death nova on them. Or is this a very tiresome game of point, click, and mash?

as far as i know, there is no easy way to cycle thru you minions.... so i just let my heros do it for me.

Carinae · Mar 26, 2008, 04:18 AM // 04:18

Nope.

Minion Bomber with a rit kinda fun actually. Still gotta point and click but hey why am I playing this game in the first place.

bj91x · Mar 26, 2008, 05:29 AM // 05:29

I wish there was. If there was, I'd actually use Death Nova myself.

I'm kind of a lazy person who doesn't like to use builds that require microing. :P

Note: Leave Minion Bombing to the heroes. Simple Minion Master without caring to spam stuff on minions is the best kind of MM a person can be.

Yeah... no way to cycle through minions. Yet. Ok it's been nearly 3 years, I doubt they'll add it NOW but you can always dream >_>.

Until then, I'll have a necro hero play bomber... then I'll reclaim my place... lol.

tmakinen · Mar 26, 2008, 10:44 AM // 10:44

A minion master should have selectable icons corresponding to each minion that s/he is controlling, with minion type, health and enchant status as displayed information. Without that, leave MM to heroes since they do get a decent UI for it

Actually, I'm more annoyed about herohench monks healing minions.

unfort there is no good way to cycle through them, which has created Olias/MoW/Livia as almost required as a MM because of their amazing ability to deal with bombing quite well.

I always though that the Tab key shuld cycle between creatures of the same tipe, instead just enemies:
- Select and ally, hit Tab, cycle through allies.
- Select an enemy, hit Tab, cycle through enemies.
- Select a minion, hit Tab, cycle through minions.
- Select an allied spirit, hit Tab, cycle through allied spirits.
- Select an item drop, hit Tab, cycle through drops.

Give Death Nova to a hero, but don't give minion spells and Nova to the same hero if you want the team to be relatively mobile.
