Ok so i made a pvp-only character (necro) to see if its something i would like to make, and it seems that whenever i summon anything, they just attack completely random targets, watever they want to hit, is there any way to get them all to focus on what i want them too? thanks

That's how minions work. You have no control over them whatsoever. They follow you around as long as there is nothing hostile in range but as soon as there is a target, they attack whatever they want to attack (usually it's simply whatever hostile is closest to them).

There are 2 mission bonuses that I can think of off-hand where you are required to *not* kill certain creatures which this minion behaviour will cause you to fail.

yup. Minions are mindless. They are not like pets. They attack whatever enters their aggro. Not always the first thing, either.

The wilds: Let all the minions die before entering the bonus area. The second mission you refer to seems to elude me atm. Oh, yeah.... that NF newbie island one. Lot's of minions would be bad for NOT hurting the sunspear ghosts.

You wouldn`t do this in PvP, but you can always spam Taste of Death to kill them off in an instant.
