Zombie control

My Zombies attack what ever I attack or attacks me. They are mindless minions.

Spawn Skelles at mobs for front line assault and keep Zombies around you as bodyguards.

Direct control might be exhausting. I wish zombies were made a bit more aggressive! They just babysit me... Unlike skellies, who are totally aggressive and wonder around on their own! Yes, I know, zombies are tanks, but ... If only zombies and skellies would be aggressive as a singular tight group, and let spectres babysit me... Spectres are usually rangers\casters, so I actually want them behind with me. Cheerioh!

The only control they should have if any is Aggressive (attack anything you see) / Passive
(only attack if minion or player is getting attacked) / follow (follows you doesn't attack)

Anything more would lead to balance issues.

No. Zombie is only zombie. That creature not think too much so must stay like now.

Imo that much control over every single one is imo too much.

I think they should do an overall stance : Passive/Defensive/Aggresive

Perhaps have in the game options, divide the minion into the groups they are. Zombie/Spectre/Skeleton and allow us to decide how they act when attacking.

So if I wanted I could set my minions to the following :

Overall : Aggressive

Game Options
Zombie : Attack nearest enemy / Ignore player attack
Skeleton : Attack nearest enemy / Ignore player attack
Spectre : Attack nearest enemy / Focus fire if I attack a target.


That would extremely helpful, especially if the Spectre I'm using are ranged they can help me pick out prio targets that need to die fast, while my zombies won't just stand near me and do nothing if I'm dodging attacks etc.

I wouldn't put too much into thinking about how zombies would think. :P Numbers game and all...

Yeah, I agree. Too many people are gimping their skeletons by putting them on a totem and missing out on their tanking value. I love sending my skeletons up a ledge to clear out range mobs safely etc.

Could just add a hotkey command like the "Move Only" feet icon, except it would be "Move Minions Only"
