FWSergik.8516 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hi, there is an extremely important question for me, are the Necromancer Pets frankly they are terrible and ugly, I haven’t met such ugly ones in any mmo, and then I was visited by the thought, what if I add a change in the appearance of the Pets to the sale? for example, dogs will become skeletons or ghosts? I think it added visual diversity to Pets, because now they are terrible and ugly even for undead Who thinks what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Would be muchly welcomed for certain. But considering no minions bar the flesh golem is used in raids or fractals, I think its a quite low priority for anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthonor.4061 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 They Minions not pets. And I would like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphon.2875 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 They're like that because of the way they looked in GW1, but yes I'd love to have some proper zombies for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornwolf.9721 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I believe there is a table, and it may be on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I don't necro much outside of the occasional keyrunner, but I agree a lot of the minions are creepy af. But at the same time I think it may be intentional, and I imagine there are a lot of players who really like the current design. I'd be fine with more options, particularly if anet feels like they could make some money off of it . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I do not do fractals or raids (or even know what they are, really). As for the minions, I have always rather liked the way they look. Kind of dead looking skeletal critters. I like em. I play mostly necro/minions. By far my favorite avatar, because of the minions. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like em. I play mostly necro/minions. By far my favorite avatar, because of the minions. :) Minions aren't used in fractals and dungeons because they mess with boss AI and can make encounters take 10 times longer in the worst case scenario. Basically, using minions in instanced content can be considered griefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnfall.9573 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 A better suggestion; allow Necromancer Profession the ability to summon Grenth and Dhumm to fight at their sides instead?? ![](https://i.imgur.com/R5pgkGp.jpg "") https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dhuum ![](https://i.imgur.com/6KBkKJd.jpg "") https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Grenth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinchpinch.8651 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I made it a point to never use them and even remove my character as far away as I can from the characters who have them out. They are just so unbearable for me to look at. And I main a necro for 5+ years now and love this profession. I highly support the above suggestions.

FWSergik.8516 Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 well, if anyone knows or has contacts with developers, let's invite them to add a paid change in the appearance of the Necromancer Pets (yes, I know they are not pets, but still) I think many would buy the look Email me or write to Developers yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We at least had the Bone Fiend in GW1 for that whipping twin-tailed action, though they were bipedal. It was *hard* to keep more than 2-3 up with the 25 energy cost, but man did I like those! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah.2967 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I would totally pay for Skin Packs. I can just imagine holiday theme skin packs. 1.) Ginger Bread Men 2.) Toys 3.) Robots (Azura Necromancer Tech?) 4.) SkyScales (using the different baby stages would be so cute) 5.) Zombies 6.) Plants (got to have Zombies vs Plants) 6.) Skeletons We really need cuter alternatives for a contrast. They have to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I like the existing ones. They're supposed to be hideous and gruesome. Some of the skin suggestions in this thread are kinda neat, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering no minions bar the flesh golem is used in raids or fractals, I think its a quite low priority for anet. Shadow Fiend and Blood Fiend see raid play. As to the OP, Necromancer minions are not the reanimated dead. They're amalgamations for flesh, bone, and sinew animated through magic, as Guild Wars Necromancers primarily act as shepherds of the dead, not rulers of it. There are the occasional Necromancers who do truly animate the dead, and they are reviled for it as it goes against the unwritten code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphon.2875 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 There is something you could do to have a skeleton 'pet' right now, sort of... Make a tiny Asura Necromancer and use the Spooky Skeleton mini from Halloween. It's a tad taller than the other skeleton minis, so the size could match up quite well ?
