Guys slow down....




Seriously now the problem with minions lies to the number of minions. Devs shouldn't allow so many minions by one character but instead 5max. These Minions should have 5x more damage and defences and also character that control minions should be buffed 2x.

Imagine to make party with 2 characters that control 12 minions each. The gameplay would be awful. I see all time in creation of a party, people write: Minions not allowed. I understand these people couse with ton of minions in map you can't actually do anything right, you cant move, you cant see, you cant recognize objects, it's a hell....

your first sentence in this quote screams 'ive never played minions before'

you want to put your theory to the test?

go reroll. play lich. use skele warriors and skele archer like we had to do. SPOILER ALERT... you wont have 5 minions until like... level 20-30 somewhere in there. so once you have 5. dont add more.

i will even let you put 2/3 lv 2 or 3 support gems in them to simulate your 'more dmg'. cuz we wouldnt have those gems to put into them on a fresh character. but you can to simulate your theory.

tell us how long it takes you to complete the campaign. ive done it twice this patch. and one char i deleted at lv 40 out of pure frustration that i had 4 gems on my archers. so really 2.5 times.

so i know the anwser without the gems and with them. to all of this. your whole post. and you aint gunna like it. and guess what. neither did ANY minion player.

and in 10+ years of poe. ive never been not let in a party, or kicked out of a party, due to minions.

if anything, people like playing with minion players. why? cuz they can afk. or they like the awareness its brings, with a bunch of insert spell/skill effect here flying to the next pack. or the minions melee body blocking packs so they can spam. or because the minions can still dps the boss, while they are dodge rolling x4 to get into position to dps.

im sorry. but your post is completely wrong. and uninformed.

have a good day.

Indeed I didn't played char with minions in Poe2. It was a decision after ton of games a played in past with minion char. I said lets try something else. Lets try Crossbow this time. And guess what i dissaponted as hell from the beginning. Becouse all the other weapon styles had broken builds but Crossbow neh it was disaster. But i continued playing until reached level 96 after 6 months play. Other players reaching 4 characters in 1 month to level 93-95.


So to the point now. If Devs boost your Character that support minions, to at least 2x or even better then you will do the kills in parallel of your Minions attack. Now if they buff 5x times Minions power then you dont need 15 minions to mess it all around. And yes people are saying true words. With 50 minions in screen it's not an game it's a funeral bro...

Good day to you....
