The bodyguards are undoubtedly one of the best innovations that have entered World of Warcraft with “Warlords of Draenor“. A handful of your followers can indeed be wonderfully abused as punching bags.
The different characters heal, tank, or even deal a lot of damage depending on who you call to your side using your barracks.
Faithful companions stand in your way
In addition to unlockable abilities, amusing quotes, and extraordinary mounts, the computer-controlled helpers have one particular characteristic: they can perfectly get in the way. No matter if you want to mine some ore, pick a flower, or loot a quest item: the faithful companions manage with near-perfect precision to position themselves in such a way that you can click on nothing except the companion itself. This problem will be a thing of the past with the next patch!
Honey, I Shrunk the Bodyguards
Thanks to the “Bodyguard Miniaturization Device”, which can be purchased for a mere 250 garrison resources, you will be able to shrink the companions for one hour each. From the dear Blood Elf, a handy Barbie doll will emerge, and from the big Saberon, a kitten for the handbag. While not the most elegant solution, it is definitely a funny one. The item will be available with the next major content patch 6.1, which will probably take a few more weeks to arrive.
