Minion Questions - Guild Wars Forums

Ok I got some odd questions and I couldn't find what I needed while searching. Oddly enough I'm trying a Mo/N Minion Master. Never see any around so I thought I'd have a little fun and try it. But I have some questions about minions....necro skills aren't my specialty.

1. Do monk skills cause minions to degen faster? Or due to longer periods of time? Seems like they start degening more after I heal them with heal area.

2. Anyone know what the minion HP/degen is by level?

If I think of the other question I had, I'll put it up later....but I forgot it haha...

1. Minion's will start getting increasing health degeneration at time goes by. Something like 1 degen @ 2 seconds, 2 degen @ 4 seconds, etc. Now I don't know the exact timings but thats how it works - and unlike players, they can get more than -10 health degen. This is why after a point of time it's completely pointless to try and keep minion's alive as they will be having such huge health degen that no matter how much you heal them they will die off.

So no, Monk skills don't give your own minion's any extra health degen, they get increasing health degen as time goes by.

2. Their degen is based from the time they have been "summoned" and has nothing to do with their level. Their level only influences how much health they start with as well as their damage. As I said, I can't answer what their degen rate increases by... and it's something I'd love to know myself.
