Remove minion targeting

As any summoner in mid-ish game will tell you (when you build up to like 15 minions and higher) it is VERY hard to target enemies when your minions are all over the place. People bring it up all the time in public games... can we have an option to toggle it on or off please? Or even just remove it all together i dont really ever need to target my minions for anything. thanks :]



Edit: Thanks GGG you guys are awesome! Minions are not nearly as painful to party with anymore much love.

This is really troubling and annoying, Stand near mobs clicking minions all the time cannot target enemy unit.
Holding shift + mouse to corner of screen and hope your attack hits them, witch in most cases don't.
Hope they disable it!
All my energy goes to farm DW Daggers! BUFF MELEE!!1!1
I agree, since ther is no way to do single target heals or buffs, there is no reason to target individual minions. it just gets in the way and makes it nearly impossible to target the enemy mobs.

it would also be a good idea to add health bars or something above enemy mobs once they are damages so we can see them through all of the fireworks. (particle effects)
I agree!

And please, make the minions clearly different and stand out of the hostile mobs. At the moment, when adventuring with a summoner I just blindly fire my AOE and hope it's hitting some enemies.

PS. Actually, could the minions be visible only for the summoner? Probably not but some innovation could be nice here.

I don't see why they don't just put an aura for friendly minions, like a light-green aura that is specifically for friendly minions either above their heads or beneath them.
Indeed, targeting minions makes a lot of confusion to me. Also it would be nice not to be able to target your party members -- I often catch myself shooting at an ally. The latter can be targeted via party interface on the left of the screen if really needed.
+1, my main is an archer with zombies and my effectiveness is going down, not up.
+1 Agree. Very annoying. Plus they get in the way when trying to click on objects like chests and such!

*Edited for spelling
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul...
