Curse

I dont know if this has been discussed yet or not. but ive played my necro/ele for close to 300 hours and ever since pre-searing ive always been a blood/curse/nuke necro/ele.
It has gotten a little boring using the same 8-10 skills over and over so I decided it was time for a change. I went and changed to a minion master. dealing with blood and death only now and ive totally dropped my secondary and am having a great time with my little army. with one complaint...

My complaint is that with a small army following you around why do they feel like they should attack everything around you and never what you want to attack. its pretty annoying when your whole group is focusing on one guy but your 8 minions are off tryig to kill something else. when trying to pull a mob and they run off to the left or right to attack a totally different group. Why cant they attack who I tell them to? their my minions arent they? the henchies attack my called targets why not the minions?

I just think that it would be alot better if the minions would wait to attack who i want to attack, would make them alot more usefull. if i want to do the UW or FoW or some other areas around the game I always have to change back to the old blood/curse/nuker build.

opinions?

well uh i think this is part of them being animated corpses only remembering what they were doing before they died mainly fighting so this migh explain there agressiveness to aggro everything

I've played a minion master for about 2-3 months...I reckon if you had more control of them in PvE they would be way too powerful.

Seriously.

There are few areas where a minion master doesn't just destroy everything anyway...with a bit of organisation and maintainence you can easily have an army of 20-30 minions (mixed horrors and fiends), then its simply a matter of moving near a mob. I've noticed in Grenths/Sorrows several groups specifically asking for minion masters, and I can understand why, as they simply massacre everything. Giving you control over them would be obscene (also, I like them agro'ing everything, keeps them off me :-D )

The only missions I've found where minions were less use is the final Ring of Fire missions where there are not enough potential kills to form a big army.

I agree. I mean, c'mon. If you were some happy Mursaat just doing your job, and some stupid group came around and pwnt you ass, then had the audacity to bring you back from the dead, just so you could kill your friends, wouldn't you go warn them?
