I'll admit, being a MM is hard, especially when you gotta put death nova on all of them and they keep moving and makes people mad. I like the minion bar and it should also have a health bar below each minion picture, so you can see how much health they have.

/signed if there is a seperate box for the Nec to see alone. either that or make all skills targeting minions target all minions.

/Unsigned if they add it to the party list. For as a monk i dont want that much more taking up screen space and thinking im loosing an actual team mate. Its bad enough in Gayala Hatchery mish when all the turtles are listed up the right side, let alone adding 10 minions to the mix.

But agreed, that there does need to be some way that necros can deal with thier minions better than the existing system.

Why haven't they created this yet...? It's so frustrating to click on minions all the time. This is 3 years overdue.

definitely. this will eliminate the unfair advantage that npc's have over humans being a minion master when it comes to skills like jagged bones, death nova, taste of death, etc. etc.

Beleg Curuden, i used you picture.

I liked your idea of a small windo with your minions on it. But i will be depressed to scroll through them so i throught up this:

This idea is a little bit based on World of Warcraft 3. When low on health the health bars will turn orange (<50%) and red (<25%).

What is the opnion of the community about this?

Playing a human minion bomber is going to be forever subpar to letting a hero do it, just because selecting dying minions isn't that easy at the moment. This would solve that.

If this hadnt been 'rezzed' recently i would have probably 'rezzed' it myself ... I remember that 'back in the day' the minion were actually part of the Party Window, i think its save to say that everybody was glad when they didnt show up there anymore, esp. with two MM's on a team ... Unfortunatly there hasnt been any replacement for minion management other then the [counter] ...

I realy hope Anet will add a Minion Screen, the suggested format looks very viable, and if this could be linked to the [counter] 'button' then that be even better ... i would suggest a similar feature for the Rt. and seeing both can be used by the same person, maybe these should be integrated into one 'minion screen' ... even if its a list like the party window, albeit blocking part of the screen, when im a MM i dont realy need to see the party window anyways, idd be bussy with managing the Minions, so those can 'overlap' and be in the same spot on my screen...

Would like to mention that the max minion count is higher then 10 ... with the correct spells and with full con.buff i think the highest death magic =

12 - attribute points
+1 - head piece
+3 - Sup.Rune
+2 - Masochism
+1 - Aura of the Lich
+1 - Blessing of Grenth
+1 - Grail of Might
+1 - Candy Corn
+1 - Golden Egg
+1 - Staff or Deathmagic (20% chance on skills)
---- +
24
---- /2
12 minions

The theoretical maximum of spirits to controll is 10, 7 spirits + elite ... if you were to make a N/Rt or Rt/N, this would give the theoretical 12minion + 7 spirits +1 summon stone :P ; that would make a pretty big list, so the Rt. actually needs a screen for spirits aswell, with a nice shortcut icon displaying the total amount ...

I would argue that teamm8s could be enabled to see these aswell if they choose to, by sellecting the MM and clicking on the [counter] icon ...

So, big signed from me aswell, but seeing this hasnt been done i suspect that maybe it cant be done? if the minions are 'teammembers' and those cant be seperated from the teammember list as such to supply their own 'window', its either no interface or added to the teamlist, and this last thing is not an option since its actually worse...

/signed for the interface change

The minion cap can hit 12 but your math is not quite right.

There is a hard cap of 20 on your effective rank in any attribute, this can only be bypassed by a +1 on skills 20% chance mod. So the most death magic you can have is 20-21 assuming you stack enough bonuses.

Minion cap = 2 + DM/2 (rounded down) = 2 + 10 = 12

It can be a problem in pvp if 24 death novas go off at the start of the match.
