I think we need a way to place necro summoned pets either on the party window or give us a window of our own so we can see the health of all our summoned minnions to make the use of spells like death nova and monks heals and such easyer to use. When our minnions are in a large group of mobs, and players finding the minion that is low enough on health to make the use of death nova effective before the 30 second timer runs out is 50% at best. Healing them from a distance is next to impossible if you have a large number and are not far enough along in the game to have verata's sacrafice.
What do you all think? It would make the Minnion Master's life so much easyer, and more effective.

I have started this same thread on another forum as suggested by the guildwars support staff. I have linked both threads to each other and emailed support with the links as well.

If we can get this thread sticky it would be great.

yeah that would be a good idea....i also want the window larger so i dont have to scroll down everytime to see the health of someone.

You can resize the window already. Just drag the lower right-hand corner of the window down as far as you would like. I agree that having the minions appear on the party window would be extremely helpful. One other problem you didn't mention is how to distinguish between "allied" minions and enemy ones. The window would help do that too.

I've been looking at the links Kain posted, and there seems to be a lot of agreement, but that the minons should have their own window. That way the party window wouldn't take up as much space, and the other players who have nothing to do with the minons can turn the window off. The window would still have all the benefits of the party window, the monks would be able to select the minios to heal (if they want to), or the master would know when to put Death Nova on them.

Yes the greater concensious is to have a seperate window . I tend to agree with that also. It would be easyer for all involved, even though adjusting the size of the party window to only show party members and not pets and minnions is also easy to do.

doh!!!!! why didnt' i realize that...ahahahahah thanks Ronduwil

Here are the links to the 3 threads I have started now. The suggestion for a Necromancer summons window is very popular. What would it take to get this implemented?

Greetings,

Thanks for contacting the Guild Wars Support Team. We do appreciate the enthusiasm in wanting improve the overall quality and enjoyment of the game. I will forward this information to the proper department in hopes that someone with influence can see these suggestions. Continuing to post your suggestions on popular fansites is by far the best way to let the developers know what you would like to see implemented in the game.

Thanks,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lets not let this thread die or our chances of getting this implemented die with it. Spread the word about this thread to all your guildmates and friends.

The community managers tend to browse the fansite forums to see what the community thinks of the recent changes and what needs to be fixed / implemented ... posting your support for an idea on a fansite forum is just as good as sending your Ideas directly to Arenanet .. and less annoying for the devs ;)

i believe that having a bar for every summoned pet is nto only space consuming but also too difficult to select. i believe a color coded icon for every summoned pet should be implemented. you know, like the bs color rainbow of the terror alerts in america. this way, if you see a pet drop to irregular color you zap him with a heal

In my opinion minions are expendable and only meant to be used for a very short time as a diversion from yourself getting beat like a red headed stepchild, and shouldnt be worried about, and pets for rangers are already listed in the window.
