Guardian Pet Suggestion

[MrHentai]

Okay so I for one would like to see a few new features added on the Guardian Pets that would greatly enhance their usage in maps.

-Add a Priority & Range feature that allows you to choose which towers your pet buffs ( depending on their range and amount of towers they can buff of course ) this way it won't target a random tower or set of towers and just buff the ones you want buffed.

-Symbol on top of towers to show what buff it has on it.
--Example:
-Twin Swords - Being buffed by Apprentice Guardian ( Attack Power )
-Shield - Being buffed by Squire Guardian ( Defense )
-Arrow- Being Buffed by Monk Guardian ( Attack Range )
-Wavy Lines - Being buffed by Huntress Guardian ( Attack Speed )

-Show with a colored text the bonus coming from the pets buff.
--Example:
-Blue Text: Squire Guardian Bonus +60 defense
-Red Text: Apprentice Guardian Bonus +60 attack
-Green Text: Monk Guardian Bonus +60 Attack Range
-White Text: Huntress Guardian Bonus +60 Attack Speed

These are just some suggestions I think would help make Guardians more useable and useful.

*Edit with another suggestion

[Grim indeed]

its just the 5 towers closest to you isnt it? - thats not random... and pretty easy for the builder to make sure its easy to guard buff the ones that need the boost

i dont like the idea of them being permanently there... like screen clutter maybe blink when the guardian reassigns targets or something?

This could perhaps be a switchable feature, but I like the priority idea, because it happens rather often that a barricade or a blockade gets buffed by my huntress guardian. Similarly, it'd be nice when you're using squire guardians, because barricade and such benefit more from that pet.

Well yeah the idea of them being there permanently there did make me realize there would be more clutter.

But let's say for instance...In combination with the ability to choose priority towers, the buff icons only show during the build phase. This way people who bring in their guardians know which towers are already being buffed and can choose if they want to add an extra buff with their guardian or focus their guardians special buff on a slower/weaker tower instead.

I mean these are just suggestions, but your feedback is much appreciated.

If they just make guardians not buff towers they can't help, that would very simply solve most of the problem. The current behavior discourages players from participating in the action (i.e. going over the walls to fight or gather mana, since then the walls steal the buff.

This would be most helpful.

-Show with a colored text the bonus coming from the pets buff.
--Example:
-Blue Text: Squire Guardian Bonus +60 defense
-Red Text: Apprentice Guardian Bonus +60 attack
-Green Text: Monk Guardian Bonus +60 Attack Range
-White Text: Huntress Guardian Bonus +60 Attack Speed

This would fit best in the details box, which currently tells you your total attack, speed, etc., but not how much each thing is contributing (buff beam, guard, tower boost, active builder bonus).

In NM mode the Priority part would be most helpful due to the fact that not many of us have Uber Armor to take hits while being so close to the wall or barricade to have buffed.
