Adding minions to the allied list, however...I don't want 10 extra health bars on my party window when I monk, tyvm. There are already enough bodies to worry about and already enough PvE players who press "P" to close their window because it is too busy. Minions as allies could give the build a bad name, nto a better one.

Except for aleshia, she still thinks shes a tank.
/signed this would make life for MM's much easier.
Also peraps something like this could be implemented for RT's and thier spirits. It's not as hard for a rt as it is for an MM to target thier own spirits, bit when you wanna use a spell that targets a spirit, you noramlly wanna make shure you target one that doesn't matter to much(like pain).
P.S. rat, can i have some M&M's?

I love that idea.
Although id rather be able to see a decent readable health bar for each individual minion.
So you can see which are about to die and need healing.
Aslong as I can see individual health bars for my minions and it doesnt obstruct anything and its readable, id be happy.

I agree with archangel04 about a separate icon for each type of minion. I need to know when my flesh golem has croaked.
Also just give me a keyboard key to cycle through my minions, PLEASE! Death Nova is practically worthless without it.

This idea needs to take place! I might actually enjoy being an MM again if it gets implemented :-)
Especially because of that new Nightfall Elite Jagged Bones... I would definitely bring it if I could cast it easier.

Do Anet actually listen to these petitions though? I hope so because this would be a God send if they implimented it.

Love it. I like Shadow's idea as well, that distinguishes between different types of minions. I wouldn't want to accidentally blow up my flesh golem when selecting it on the minion control pannel.
LifeInfusion
If they do this, it should be the same size as maintained enchantments icons
Clawdius_Talonious
I think the Op's idea is perfect, click your controlling __ minions icon to scroll through your minions. I dislike that even as the MM controlling them, there is no way to highlight your minions names (like alt does with party members, ctrl for enemies etc). The suggested concept would alleviate the problem, and allow you to relatively quickly select your lowest health/highest degen minion and use feast for the dead on them or whatever.
RodyPA
I think that's a great idea, and the last JPEG looked spot-on. In a MM context, it could have a set of slots equal to how many minions able to be controlled (1-10), and either an empty box or an icon of the minion spell, with the health bar at top. Selecting one gives a larger health bar at bottom.
Where it gets tricky is where some people have asked about spirits. Would you want to have both minions *and* spirits in the same window (since you could have both being spawned by one character)? If so, that could get pretty sizable. Or would you want to have separate windows for each?
As a further note, it might be better to expand the window a little, to include hexes/enchantments on the selected minion below the health bar (so you can see what you've buffed on the minion, or what it's affected by). So you know who still needs Jagged Bones, Death Nova, etc.

It's impossible to hae more than 10 minions.
But skills like Blood of the master will affect all minions, not only yours.
A resizeable box with 10 icon slots and 10 health bars would be enough.

i would like it just to cast death nova on them
howabout little minion heads in boxes with an increasing amount of black kind of like adrenaline.

This would be enormously helpful. Something similar for Rit and even Ranger spirits wouldn't hurt, too.

Or maybe, when you click on that little icon that displays your minion count, it expands into a larger window (thats resize-able in the interface) that looks like Shadow's idea so then people won't have to worroy about resizing that window every time. (Like the party window, I'd probobly get those confused too.)

I wonder if it would be possible to code yourself an applet for guildwars that could read outgoing information related to minions and arrange them in some useful way in a window.
I know Anet frowns on created applets for guildwars, but if it never gets created in game, what other choice is there really?
woudnt it be cool though?

Would deffo love this. Be easier to use Death Nova too, instead of just spamming it.

This is an AWESOMELY AWESOME idea. Hell, it should be stickied... or something like that, so Anet will see it eventually, even though their schedule pretty much restricts what work their programmers can do (expansion every half a year Oo).
PS: the window in Fender's post would be PERFECT. I don't need to see my allies minions, just my own. They're the only ones I care about

Definatly a good idea, u would have to have a different setup for showing minions as 10 can swamp the current party window and an option to turn the minion bar off, and still have the party bar showing.

I'd rather see the separate party-like interface than the icons though...
Easier to keep track of health of all your minions at once...

Target nearest/next minion key bind would be acceptable, if a.net is too lazy to make a new minion party list.
