Here is something that I think would work extremely nicely.

excellent idea, but only for the necro. I'd like to see a seperate screen that we can open and close for all controlled "allies": pet, spirit, minion, etc. It would help players better manage their horde.

Perfect. /signed.

Adding minions to the allied list, however...I don't want 10 extra health bars on my party window when I monk, tyvm. There are already enough bodies to worry about and already enough PvE players who press "P" to close their window because it is too busy. Minions as allies could give the build a bad name, nto a better one.

You can always grab henchies, thier minimally smarter then the minions

Except for aleshia, she still thinks shes a tank.

/signed this would make life for MM's much easier.
Also peraps something like this could be implemented for RT's and thier spirits. It's not as hard for a rt as it is for an MM to target thier own spirits, bit when you wanna use a spell that targets a spirit, you noramlly wanna make shure you target one that doesn't matter to much(like pain).

P.S. rat, can i have some M&M's?

I love that idea.

Although id rather be able to see a decent readable health bar for each individual minion.

So you can see which are about to die and need healing.

Aslong as I can see individual health bars for my minions and it doesnt obstruct anything and its readable, id be happy.

I agree with archangel04 about a separate icon for each type of minion. I need to know when my flesh golem has croaked.

Also just give me a keyboard key to cycle through my minions, PLEASE! Death Nova is practically worthless without it.

Series · Nov 25, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

This idea needs to take place! I might actually enjoy being an MM again if it gets implemented :-)

Especially because of that new Nightfall Elite Jagged Bones... I would definitely bring it if I could cast it easier.

Damn fine idea. I have the same problem, as I think any necro(primary or secondary, using minions)would have.

Do Anet actually listen to these petitions though? I hope so because this would be a God send if they implimented it.

Bale_Shadowscar · Nov 25, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Love it. I like Shadow's idea as well, that distinguishes between different types of minions. I wouldn't want to accidentally blow up my flesh golem when selecting it on the minion control pannel.

LifeInfusion · Nov 27, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

If they do this, it should be the same size as maintained enchantments icons

Clawdius_Talonious · Nov 27, 2006, 07:45 PM // 19:45

I think the Op's idea is perfect, click your controlling __ minions icon to scroll through your minions. I dislike that even as the MM controlling them, there is no way to highlight your minions names (like alt does with party members, ctrl for enemies etc). The suggested concept would alleviate the problem, and allow you to relatively quickly select your lowest health/highest degen minion and use feast for the dead on them or whatever.

RodyPA · Nov 27, 2006, 08:38 PM // 20:38

I think that's a great idea, and the last JPEG looked spot-on. In a MM context, it could have a set of slots equal to how many minions able to be controlled (1-10), and either an empty box or an icon of the minion spell, with the health bar at top. Selecting one gives a larger health bar at bottom.

Where it gets tricky is where some people have asked about spirits. Would you want to have both minions *and* spirits in the same window (since you could have both being spawned by one character)? If so, that could get pretty sizable. Or would you want to have separate windows for each?

As a further note, it might be better to expand the window a little, to include hexes/enchantments on the selected minion below the health bar (so you can see what you've buffed on the minion, or what it's affected by). So you know who still needs Jagged Bones, Death Nova, etc.
