Maybe not be a jerk to players of your game, with the EHG-tag.
The very veeeery obvious reason for still doing them, is because they get in the path of something good.
Shame on you ekimarcher.
How is that being a jerk? Should I apologize for offering more information to help alleviate their problem?
Unless this has been changed in a patch an I'm unaware. Unfortunately the level requirement of the item will increase once you slap your juicy exalted item onto one of these so they can't be used for levelling.

Poor dragon, fought his hardest, just to get one tapped by some creppy lady 
This is a known issue, we are investigating a solution
Everything is working as intended. If the “Rip blood” from the “Bone curse” ability have no valid target in range, it will activate itself on the minions location (Like using Rip blood on yourself without any valid target).
For Rip blood to affect your minions, you need “Marrow Drinker” from the rip blood passive tree. However, it will no longer be cast on the ennemies.
Hope this clarifies the abilities and skill trees.
Note: The Rip blood projectile moves quite fast so if you are close to the target, it might be hard to see.

Thank you for the report!
Have you tried verifying your game files to see if it fixes anything?
Now this is a bot I can get behind.
Just to avoid confusion, I may have made some temporary adjustments to the name until someone else can have a look.
BEEEEEES. You have my respect.
Please continue one of the several existing threads.
