Putrid Explosion could be tweaked.

What if Putrid Explosion (activated ability of "Bone minions") had a functionality similar to the mesmer's shatter? After all, you don't see a mesmer's illusion just detonate when they are away from their target. They RUN to their target before detonating!

What if bone minions had that?

(And a decent critical hit chance? Mayyybe? Please...?)

At the very least, have the one closer to the target blow up, rather than the one closes to you.

It would be nice if they did like a lunge headbutt (Daze) into the target then performed their explosion

Some Minions on ammo system would be nice too. Where you cast the skill the first time and you get 3 of them but as you blow them up when the count recharges (so long as you dont use all of them) another one would just auto spawn to replace it.

 

I still think that most minion problems are due to their slow movement speed in general though.
