  1. Shogun is speaking English as a second language
  2. The minions leave cores which directly damage the boss (the damage is capped)

Some of you would prefer that all damage you deal to the minions is transferred to the boss. We're not going to do that, and were never doing to do that. They're simply adds that you need to kill in addition to the main boss. We added the extra bit of damage from the core as a reward for killing them.

Could the minions spawns atleast 1 tile below the boss? When you kill em quickly, the cores that remain are prettymuch impossible to click

(rightclicking works obviously, but time consuming in a pretty fast paced fight)

Yeah, I'm looking at that one today actually, thanks :)

Edit: fixed and ready for QA

On the topic of the minions, are you going to fix their clickboxes? Please don’t say they’ve fine again because they really aren’t.

Same for AG’s too, the whole thing is a mess.

They're totally not fine. Seems like a change that went live with NXT on the same day has affected clickboxes across the game. It's being resolved.

It’s a mechanic. Who cares? Would you honestly care if the minions were killed and no damage is done to the boss? You expect 40k worth of damage to be done by beating four minions that you can kill in less than 10 seconds. Be realistic man.

Basically this

1300 damage is hardly a reward considering that ~two basics do more damage combined. Better if it'd heal you or something, or gave adrenaline, so you can kind of choose when to use it similar to Time Warp @ Kerapac.

Yeah, I like the idea of adrenaline or another resource that isn't damage. Will keep it in mind for the future.
