Please GGG do something about minions !!!!

First of all, i would like to say that this game is awesome.
Still, it has some problems that need fixes and minions are one of them.
I started a necro some days ago, and i must say i never saw such a terrible minions (zombies in particular) control...
U loose them when u change area, u loose them because they are running away, u loose them if u run too fast, u loose them because they don't take the correct path to follow you (thinking about prison) etc...
They often don't attack ennemies, when u spawn them, they often run in the opposite direction ure running at etc.. etc..
I often have to go back to retrieve corpses just after i have spawn zombies cause they run away !!!!!
Does they have "chances to flee" curse all the time ???
I can't follow party partners because if i do i now i'll meet some fancy boss naked...
Please could u define a radius around the character that zombies couldn't leave and can agro only in it ???

Please please please GGG, do something for necros.

+1 !!!

May they listen to you...

I hope they allow us to set different modes for our minions:
* Batshit insane - basically what we have now (but with proper pathing ^^), the minions run around you looking for enemies and engage the first one they find
* Defensive - the minions stay close to you and only attack the enemies you attack.
* Braindead follow mode - your crew just stays close and follows you around without attacking anything.

The pathing issues aside, I've already had some situations where the last thing I needed were additional mobs being pulled into the fight. You have 3 guesses what my zombies did just then. :D

But let's wait for 0.9.12 hitting the servers. :)

I lol'd. WTB helm with +1 to Batshit Insanity.

Making them controlable is also something should be added

These control modes could be support gems, that would pretty cool :)

That sounds like a great idea.

Being able to set modes in the UI seems too RTS-ish, or like MMO pets. Supporting your zombies with Defense and your skeletons with Attack seems like it would fit PoE much better.
