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.

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.
