I have just been working on my minion master skills, and while admitedly I haven't gotten it all under control yet, I think there could be a little help to get them to attack where you want:

"Fly My Pretties!" - Shout
Your minions attack nearest foe(s)

Edit: Bah, that of course won't work as a shout as shouts don't target. Modified

Thanks fiery, that is how I would expect it to work, but hasn't always in my experience. Plus I just like the idea of a skill to order minions into action.

The first thing you hit either with ya bow or staff all minions go to that exact target.

Hehe when my brother and I are playing with one of our necros we always shout attack my pretties at the screen

They attack the first target you wand, afterwards, they have some pretty good AI (Monks - Mesmers - Necros - Eles before warrs and rangers, unless they're bodyblocked by them)...

The shout would be a waste of a skill slot IMO, but some people may find it usefull.

Of course, ANet could always reskin Bone Minions to Winged Monkeys

I think they should change bone fiends to look like scarabs, or at least change the picture to look like two horrors come up.

Try these skill:

Verratta's Command:
10 energy, 15-20 sec. recharge.

For 5-30 sec. all minions attack the called targeted foe and strike for +10 dmg.

Soul Splice:
5 energy, 10 sec. recharge

Sacrifice random nearby minion and have that minion's hp transfered to another minion for 30-60 seconds.

These are skill suggestions

The Command skill should be well considered...

But let's face it, A-net didn't include a single skill since the game was officially released, only a couple nurfs.

A couple?!?!

I think anet has been swingin the nerf bat wildly on some things, beating it to a bloody pulp, nowhere near it's former glory. And, the nerf bat is aiming at the necro next...most likely SS and MM. So, i don't think so anymore...

This would further what they probably don't want, so i doubt they'll add it.
