This needs to be fixed. Although a bit usefull he is taunting way way too often. I watched and healed him through a long fight and this was the result.

Tower shield, Taunt, five times in a row. did ghoul two times. Tower shield, Taunt two more times. Then Finally he casted Cyclopse.
Come ON guys this is silly. Summoning Minotaur is not an upgrade it is a downgrade. FIX THIS PLEASE!
Then don't use him. Use the cyclops. But first learn what the minion does and how to use him. The storm minion functions the same way: Shield, taunt, attack with ghoul to get life back up. It is the best minion ever and my grand storm couldn't live without him. My myth wizard doesn't have minotaur yet but I can't wait to get it!
Basically these minions are designed to give you time to build up your attack. And for myth that is important as it isn't the strongest school (storm needs it because it has the lowest life). To really hit hard with myth you need myth blade, elemental blade and some traps and/or the all area enhance spell. If you are up against 2 or more enemies, they can really give you a beating while you are trying to get that all in place and save up pips for a strong spell. The minion distracts them so they will attack him giving you the time you need. Also, if they throw any weaknesses, they will throw them on the minion and not you!
One thing to note though: don't attack until you are ready to kill in one shot. If you attack, they will turn on you rather than the taunting minion.
So try it out and see what happens. If you don't like it, go back to cyclops. Either way, have fun!
I'll gladly trade storm's water minion for your minotaur. I don't think there is a worse minion in the game than what storm has. It only has half of the protection shields, it costs pips to cast, it takes three turns after being cast to draw attacks to itself, it normally dies within a couple turns of being cast even when you try to help it. Its only damage attack is ghoul which does something like 175 damage if it is lucky and returns half. It taunts a lot but all that normally does is take up a lot of time as higher level opponents are seldom affected by taunt.
As storm, we'd love to have minotaur (or really anything else, mander minion would be most preferred).

Lol, every time i try to build up my ice attack damage by using the balance elemental blades, an ice blade, and adding an ice trap, my minion the ice guardian wastes the traps by using ice beetle. It is really quite annoying but I guess it is good as long as he is trying to help out. XD
DUDE! How can you not like taunt on him? The whole point of minotaur minion is to taunt so you stop taking damage for 2-5 rounds. I am glad he does not attack, I can finally trap enemies now.
One summoning can have a wide variety of results. If you get the same general results during the next 10 summonings of the minion, send a ticket in to Support.

I thought people would realize this but the minotaur minion is used to take the hits while you attack that is why he towers and taunts and when he needs to heal he uses ghoul hope this helps
The purpose of the Minotaur Minion is to take the hits, leaving you free to blade, trap, and attack without having to worry about healing. Of the myth minions, I like the Minotaur best cause there is a lower chance he will take my traps.

If you don't like the minotaur pet then you are using him wrong. You cast him when you don't want the monster on you. He isn't a fighter, he is more of a meat shield.
