I would really love it if Anet added a feature to target friendly minions alot easier than clicking on them. Putting them in your party window would be nice but with Minion Factories it would be tragic. Instead, how about using a useless button to do the job? Cycle through friendly minions in your party so you can heal them directly easier. Oh god, this would rule!

I've had this problem also when trying to heal the minion's of an ally in PvE.

For PvP, it would be nice if there was an interface to set up a key to "tab" through just the 4 or 8 enemy players and not have to cycle through all of their pets and minions. On occasion, there is reason that I want to target a pet (i.e. draining balthazar's aura off of it), but I have never found a case where I would care about targetting an enemy minion.

This would be best in PvE though if you're a MM and instead of depending soley on Heal Area and Vetera's Sacrifice and Blood to the Master, I would love to drop a Healing Breeze or Word of Healing on one of my minions =p

Imagine a Minion with Mending

use echo, arcane echo and mending and cast mending on all your minions!

ZOMG INVINCIBLE MINIONS!

LoL, or make one UbER Minion. Mending, Strength of Honor, and Watchful Spirit. LOLZ!

I'd expand this idea even further - have one key to cycle through enemy characters and another for enemy pets/minions/spirits. Then the same (with different buttons, of course) for friendlies.

You really have never played a MM, have you?

Minions get -20 degen at the end of their cycle. The max regen is 10. Veretas Sac gives +10 regen to ALL minions for a time.

Mending gives +4.

So your minions, with mending and Veretas have +14 leading to -6 degen still

Invincible!

Even if a minion had mending the life degen would overpower it.

He summed up my post in a single sentence.

They could make a minion interface,with a list of all your minions and their health bars like the party window.

Labelled from top (if the minions are present):
Flesh Golem
Bone Fiends
Bone Horrors
Vampiric Horrors
Bone Minions

I think that could work.

Still easier Minion Targeting would be wonderful for PvE especially. I hate stopping to cast Heal Area all the time with no other spells while I wait for my Death Magic heals to recharge.
