Took me forever to get these guys to follow me.

1. If you are in any kind of combat they will not follow you.
2. If you have a pet, you must dismiss your pet and abandon and re-pickup quests to get them to follow you.
3. If you try to summon your pet after they are following you it will temporarily replace one of them with your pet before dismissing your pet and replacing it with the one that disappeared.

*The reason they take the place of your pet is because they all 3 have abilities which are usable from your pet bar, using each of their abilities is a part of the quests.

Although with all of these abilities they are very helpful when going against single targets, it is kind of inconvenient when going against multiple targets due to the fact you cannot direct them to a particular target. This is especially true if youre using a minion as a tank.

They also do NOT attack at all (with the exception of their abilities, which will be used upon clicking) until you yourself take damage from the enemy. Which can be very frustrating when attacking from ranged. Even if you use the tanks Taunt ability, it will not taunt anything until you have taken damage from the enemy.

On a brighter note they all ride motorcycles when you mount up, its pretty sweet :). Orc Mercenary Motorcycle Gang FTW!

With being able to edit your UI, I was really confused with this one. All the comments about pets finally helped me realize that you need to use the Pet Bar to use the items and have them attack a mob. Hope this helps!

Description

You may not have noticed, but I'm pretty big, as far as orcs go. I make sure that my two pals here don't get into too much trouble. They're small, and they don't have a big shield like me. I'm big, and I can handle a few monsters hitting me! Plus, if I'm careful, I can usually get them to hit my shield instead! I can protect you, too. Come on, let's go practice for a bit. I'll make sure the enemies attack me, and not you.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

  • Jurrix the StrikerBadlands · Level 15-30

    Oh, you want to talk? Fine. I'm Jurrix, the only merc here with half a brain. The only one with any bite to my attacks, too. The only reason I keep these meat shields around is to keep myself from getting killed. Listen, you're the boss of this operation.
