Clunky minion selection is the only thing keeping me from tearing up the place with my rit as a bomber. Beleg Curidin's suggestion on the first page is perfect.
Interface: Necro minion selection

Well, minions got passed over in the July 17th update for the Party Panel. A Starcraft-ish healthbar for each minion like in BC's pic would be the BOMB. (Pun intended.) As is though, looks like Razah is staying with Death Nova while I take Putrid Bile. :/

Sorry to bring back old thread (again), but Target: Closest Minion (N) (maybe?) needs to be merged with this.

A few ideas.
Click on the icon which shows the number of minions to have a drop down box with them all.
A hideable minion status window, such as the current party window. Or add a minion sub section such as allies, which can be hidden by clicking the sub-name.
Add the minions to the Alt command to search for allies. Add a new button tie such as the opposite alt key or something similar to toggle between/show minions.

i suggest something similar to Kairu2468...
Using keys like a selection mask. Like holding Ctrl doesn't just show enemies, it means u can only mouse click on enemies. The opposite for Alt... maybe a Shift+Alt or something for minions and pets.
I always hate when i'm in a town or outpost and i wanna select an npc... i hold down Ctrl so i can see them all... but once i get my mouse over them... i see all the characters around it or in my path pop up and i keep selecting them instead of the npc even tho i'm holding down Crtl!

I signed this a while back, but seriously, it's no use. They'll never give the Necro any love after the repeated nerfs. I just adapted. GW:EN has Putrid Bile, a Death Magic Hex, and combined with the Sunspear skill Necrosis for a finishing strike, you can safely delegate Death Nova and any other "spell that is meant for a minion" onto your Heroes. If wishes were minions... everyone would be a Necro.

And I'm all for small health boxes under minions.

casting spells during a fight by clicking on the right minion is a pain in the a**
i'd go for a mini party-window-like improvement

I'm a necromancer by heart. I can see micro-managing each minion as a problem, but all I want was my "minion count box" to be separate for each variety of minion spawned. I just want to know that i have 5 fiends, 3 shambling horrors ... 2nd Point, just the elite "Flesh Golem" could be added as a "dead pet" at the start on the allies window
Same idea for ritualist spirits in current range. I like playing as an "artillery bomber" with my necro, using some soul reaping for energy regain to fuel spirit rift. But a constant problem is just trying to figure out how many spirits are still alive, and which one i need to create again. Even an icon similar to the necro's minion count would be helpful.

I'd ask when you click on one of the icons it highlights and so does the name tag of the corresponding minion. And under the health bar see what kind of enchantments and hexes it has. That should do very well, also.

Love it. Put the stamp on it. Make it happen.

Not to be a total pessimist here, but this has been suggested since like day one, and it still hasn't happened. Anet pays no attention to minions unless they want to nerf them. The minion AI has never but updated. A lot of minions still seem to stand around doing nothing while a target is right in front of them, or they keep running back between two targets without evening hitting one of them.

I love this idea, but i would like to see a button as there is for every other target...

It will make Human MM necros better than the hero equivalent, you would be able to choose the balance of your MM mob better.
Kill off the minions you don't want and replace with other types.

I don't know if I've signed this already but I'm /signing again with extra /sign on the side. Minion bombing is fun, though I don't get much of a chance to use Death Nova because I can't find my minions.
Nevin
Actually the OP's idea is the best. Have minions #1-10, and reclick the icon to switch. That way you can click -> enchant, click -> enchant and never double up and know what number you're on.
Aldric
It's always annoyed me that I don't know the exact make up of my minion army in GW, even D2 showed the number of each kind of Minion you had under control.
I would like a 2nd toggable "Party" window which shows each of the ^10 minions , their health and what type of minion so that I can keep a balance of whatever types of minions im running. (I'm fairly sure i seen a mockup of this somewhere but damned if i can find it)

Even Effect icons for each minion, using the 'time' bar as health bar, would do.

I'm thinking of creating a MM soon, and this makes such absolute sense. Rangers know what, and how, their pets are doing. Why shouldn't MMs be able to keep track of their minions?

yes a way to select minions without having to find them and click on them would be great (and then I might play mm again -taking the stage away from olias)
