Usage Strategies

• Despite the in-game tips saying CTRL-Click can be used for minions, it is difficult to direct summons in Sacred 2 to attack specific targets. However you can set their aggro range (default '/' key) and also toggle single or group attack mode (default '.' key). In group attack mode minions will all attack the same target as you.
• If the player doesn't mind the down time when the Grizzly is knocked out, the Robust mods can be ignored in favor of offensive mods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Grizzly inflict good damage and can soak up a lot of damage, all the way into Hell difficulty.
• No need to recast buff if Grizzly falls in battle

Cons

• The player lacks finer control over minion movements and targeting.
