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) ?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Oh I know, but they should look different no matter what. And I dont know if I so much like this trade off, they should look different and you should be able to have (well I guess we soon will) 3 different kinds.

I agree, I wish the lower level minions would be a different look as well. I love getting two per corpse for some builds, and EOE and Death Nova are extremely deadly with double your normal supply of pets.

Just wanted to throw it out there in case you hadn't realized that the horror was the same melee creature - I see know you did!

Can't wait to see that new elite animate skill in action.

There will be 2 new summons in factions.
These are:

Animate Flesh Golem - Elite Spell - Death - 15e, 3c, 30r
Exploit nearest corpse to animate a lvl x Flesh golem. The flesh golem leaves an exploitable corpse. You can only have one Flesh golem.

Animate Vampiric Horror - Spell - Death - 25e, 5c, 15r
Exploit nearest corpse to animate a lvl x vampiric horror. Whenever a Vampiric Horror you control deals damage, you gain that much health.


You dont have to believe me, but its true.

That mod does not exist on a cane, either.

Level 17 is the max on chance, giving level 19 horrors and fiends.

In the icon the Minions look like undead scarabs. I wish they'd represent that.

I'd buy the whole Quality vs. Quantity arguement if both spells cost the same.

I'd go for Quantity over Quality. Especially when combined with an SS necro using Barbs...

No, because Bone Minions have different tasks than Bone Fiends or Bone Horrors. You get two instead one which means more energy from the Soul Reaping. They are also weaker which is good for Death Nova. They are like walking bombs which you can trigger by using Taste Death skill after you have casted Death Nova on them. Good for BiP necro also. Gain health and energy so you don't have to be low health build like 55 or 105 hp. Bone minions and high Soul Reaping for the win.
