Muusic.2967 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It would be nice for those of us who rely on our minions for heals and support to not have to recast them every time we zone, but with the Branded in Jahai it's reached a whole new level of game disruption. I'm talking about the fact that during ANY Branded event if the Necro gets crystallized there is a 20 second delay until any minion can be recasted. This combined with the 10 seconds it takes to actually recast them and it totals half a minute of zero minion support and limited heals. It might not seem like a big deal to anyone who doesn't play a Minionmancer, but it's game breaking at times. There's nothing more special than getting locked in a crystal while standing under the Shatterer or a Rift boss. Rangers and Mesmers don't have this issue. Why do we?

Visceroff.7038 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I agree it is annoying to always have to recast my minions, I understand if they die but if they don't then leave them be. Also I wish there was a way to "uncast" them if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchoku.8142 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Coincidentally, I was totally trolling Kourna, yesterday, on a Viper's core Necro MM/Epi build checking out dagger/horn and scepter/dagger with Quickening Thirst. I know just how you feel about being locked, alone, in a purple crystal, kicking to get out. However, I was also so tanky that I switched minions for a wells build to have a bit more action. Blood Magic helped minions and players, alike. The MM build I used was not meta by any stretch of the definition but it was easy and effective. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQRBIhtG1IHN0djd1gbNwejjghSeCpwTPnhpOHiJdAEBA Dumping Death Magic for Soul Reaping while keeping minions, was fine, too. I could camp shroud longer than could stand to be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lahmia.2193 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Maybe it is the game's way of telling you to not rely on AI so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDragon.3046 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Generally speaking why are you getting hit with 10 stacks of crystal I play reaper and i generally never go above 5 stacks at anytime and Im the one taking all the attention no minions to possibly block hits or distract other mobs for me etc. You really have to you know dodge to remove it and and avoid things that build it up.
