Do you guys think that Bone Minions should be able to reach Lv. 18 like their counter parts?

And, for question sakes, do you guys think we will see a new 'Animate ---' creature in Chapter 2 (Factions) ?

no. you get two of them, which is why they are lower level.

i hope factions leads to more animations for necromancers!!!

What do you mean Ice?

And I'm echoing you Captian. It'd be fun to see more Animate creatures, even if they didn't have any sort of different bonuses.

MadOnion · Mar 05, 2006, 08:55 PM // 20:55

Well, when you use animate bone minions, you summon two out of a corpse, so it's logical that they should be lower level than horrors and fiends.

animate bone horrors=1 lvl 18+ minion (quality over quantity)
animate bone minions=2 lvl 10+ or whatever minions. (quantity over quality)

its just a simple choice.....

Ah, I've gotcha both.

But I dont know, I think I'd like to see them be able to be used more often and what have you in higher strengthed areas

See, now something like that would be interesting to see if it had like loose X amount of Health with it and a limit to ONE. (And no, it wouldn't have any skills like the ones in Ember Light Camp.

well they already said there will be a flesh golem.

It's one of the skills A-net listed as new ones they are going to add for Factions.

Align · Mar 05, 2006, 09:28 PM // 21:28

In Factions. Exploit corpse to create a flesh golem, which on death leaves an exploitable corpse. Can only have one.

Ah very spiffers, now all we need are actual Elemental (Fire, Water, Earth, Wind) summoners :P lol.

Nowhere have I read where it said you can only have one. The magazine article didn't say that.

Grimm · Mar 05, 2006, 09:55 PM // 21:55

If your Death Magic could get up to 21, then yes, you could have level 18 Minions.

And there will be animatable Flesh Golems according to the preview article in CGW. They will leaves exploitable corpses when they die and will be elite.

Innnnteresting....Veeeery intttersing

But I'd really like to see these x2 Minions go down to 1 per corpse once you pass say like 16 or something, they look cute :P

Cjlr · Mar 05, 2006, 10:01 PM // 22:01

I'd like to see minions look like at least something like the skill icon, or at least not EXACTLY like smaller horrors...

natus · Mar 05, 2006, 10:13 PM // 22:13

in the GW:Factions trailer, sometimes some huge boney dude appears, it's always dead and there's only one of em each time.
around 1:50 in the trailer you can see one of the boney dudes dying, i don't know if it's a new animated creature, but if it is then it looks awesome :3

Caleb · Mar 05, 2006, 10:33 PM // 22:33

If you want a level 18 "minion" cast Animate Bone Horror. It will look exactly the same, and you get one per corpse at the higher level.

The tradeoff for the skill Animate Bone Minion is that although you get 2 minions per corpse, they are of lower level.

Sounds like you just need to change skills - Animate Horror also costs only 15 energy.
