Trivia

The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Well.

• Conceptually, as seen in the original Guild Wars, necromancer wells spring forth from a corpse, just like minions. Due to corpses not being 'exploitable' in Guild Wars 2, wells are instead summoned from the ground, as are most minions.
• Prior to March 5, 2019 game update the skill type for Scrapper wells was Gyro.
