Is there a way to scroll-target minions? - Guild Wars Forums

As a necro, I REALLY want to be able to press a key and scroll thru the various minions that I have going.

I LOVE to use the minion "bomn" exploding spell - but since it is EXTREMELY difficult to target minions as they run around as see how much health each one has - I find it almost impossible to use the spell effectively.

Is there a way to auto-target or scroll thru minions?

Thanks!

Keys:
[ = Target Previous
] = Target Next
\ = Target Closest
c = Target Closest

Yea these seem useless for targetting minions though - unless Im using them wrong.

They all seem to work ONLY on enemies - or "good" npcs like quest givers. Target closest will usually be 1 of the 5 or 6 minions that I have - but how to get to the others? Can I press a key - target closest and get proceed to target everything a little LESS closer? So i can sorta scroll from closest to furthest?

I fell your pain rethak! As far as I can see there is no way to cycle through your minions. They don't show up on your team window and if there is a big brawl going on you can literaly lose a bone horror in a mob of badies. What we need is a Minion Management Window! But for right now, the quickest way is to keep the ctrl key held down and be fast with that mouse pointer.

Ugh, I did a search and didnt want to find this. Trying to make a death nova build of necro work is quite difficult when you are clicking like a crazy person attempting to find that minion in the midst of everything, then losing focus of your target reaquiring it then attempting to find the minion again so u can eat it so it blows up, such a mess >_>.

Really needs to be a cycle minion shortcut or something.

A minion management window would be just about ideal...
