Minion Health Bars

I know this has been said before but:
Since the latest patch,
you can no longer target player/team minions.

excellent! too often I'm trying to select something but my minions are all in the way preventing me from doing so.

However...

Now I can't see how much health they have.
-more support for minion health bars from me. :P

Why would you even need to see their HP bar? Its pretty much constantly being spammed with new minions popping up....so it seems like it would be one less thing to 'manage.'

Or is there a skill to use on low minion health or something?

It would probably be too much if there were icons up top because you would have so many.

Maybe add a toggle button to see a health bar above them or that allows you to target them or something?

Health flasks can restore minion health if they have the right prefix.

Yeah I know that but again I ask why does it matter when they are so easily spammable to pop up new ones?

Because summoners like to make sure all their minions have full health before going into difficult situations such as boss battles. We need a toggle for minion targetting.

cause, dear non-summoner, there is something known as spectres.
however, you are forgiven as it seems that no one from ggg plays a summoner build too :)
once again, summoners get no love.

Only need it for spectres, it's really not that big of a deal. It's better now then it was.

I could agree that zombies and skeletons are spammable and resummon is no problem, but I would love health bars for Spectres or at least put them separated to see their hp bars where you see minion list, now im am using flasks just when they got charge to make sure my Spectres are ok but it feels weird, some pets have quite low maximum health and when you are doing Laboratory maps going back to resummon is not really good idea :)

If I know a difficult fight is coming up I repop all my zombies, spectres should be kept up with necro-specific health pots.

When you have 20ish minions on the screen, the only things you care about besides spectres is the number you have out and not the health that they're at...especially if you're using Minion Instability.
