Talk:Ally

Are any summoned allies considered allies by effects?

Are pets and minions considered equal for priortization? A hint might be on the Summoned ally page; it lists Banners, Elementals, Fellow Thieves, Illusions, Minions, Spirits, Spirit Weapons, Turrets and Summons. Pets are not summoned. Which summoned allies are not considered allies by effects? --Triplehammer 03:21, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm almost certain "ally" only refers to those with green names, i.e. not turrets or banners. Those are objects, and I argued against including them as "summoned allies", but consensus overruled me. —Dr Ishmael 03:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Now I'm looking for any evidence that minions can be healed or given boons and not finding any. Can a necromancer who knows comment? --Triplehammer 04:19, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

When my warrior uses Charge, it affects other players' minions. —Dr Ishmael 07:01, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Mesmer Illusions - how do they work?

After more consideration of Mesmer illusions, I've removed the comment about them from Special Cases because I really don't know where they stand. When a Mesmer clone is created, it's a copy of the player. If the player gets a boon while its clones are still alive, do the clones get the boon too? If they do, do they count on the 5 target limit for AOE boons? --Triplehammer 03:59, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
