Yeah, the interface images supplied by beleg would be great. Perhaps the only two things I'd suggest would be

1. a constant mini health bar across each minion icon, so you could at least keep tabs on all minions health at a glance rather than having to cycle each one to check health

2. Specific minion icons for each minion class, So I can tell where my bone minions are to cast death nova on, and where my flesh golem is for smitebombs, ect

I can't speak for everyone, but myself I play as zoomed out as possible so I can see as much of the battle as I can, and though the itty bitty health bars above the minions are better than nothing... trying to squint to see the health of your minions thru moving players and mobs makes my eyes bleed sometime... ok a lot. Then there's the fun of trying to select a minion in a battle... There would probably be less cookie cutter MM builds if it was made easier to manage minions.

I was thinking something like the player lists in observe mode (the list of both team's players at the bottom right) for minions. Of course resizable like everything else, so you can keep it from clogging your view.

So no one really disagrees with this idea?

If no, then I say *bump*
but, I was just wondering....Does anyone actually see the good posts before they like....expire....?

To add to this I would also love a management item (similar to this) for spirits. I'd love to be able to click a "box" rather than have to pick through the mass of spirits I've just put up.

This is a great idea. It would really help me look after my collection of decaying meat.

Noob question: what is that group of small square icons under the experience bar in Beleg's image? Is it a third party program?

I think that a minion selection interface would be great.

this would be so convienient and fun, though i can live without it (I just spam botm like an idiot and look at green bars above my spread out minions)

i tried minion bombing for killing kuuvanang, and lets just say i failed miserably (though teh rest of my group pulled thru and go masters for me XD)

Minions can be such a pain to select.

An interface would be great, but even a 'Next Minion' and 'Previous Minion' keys would help tremendously.

I am trying to build a Rt/N minion bomber (using explosive growth, bone minions, and death nova) and it can be realy dificult to select a minion and cast death nova before it dies, even with spawning power's extra health to em.

an elite skill like yellow border on the minion couter would be nice, if you have a flesh golem "alive"...
that way you could know right away, when to make a new one
