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.

Would definitely help with Minion Master management.

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.

would be nice with the pet selection or allies in the party but would make jagged horror alot easier

I've been wanting something like this for quite some time, glad someone took the initiative to suggest something I was too lazy to do.

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.

Would make a life of MM much easier.
And I'm all for small health boxes under minions.

Er, I just realized I signed this already, a few months ago. On the very same page.

But still! It would be really nice!

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.
