Minions
|
What kind of minions are in the game so far? I've seen only Zombies.
What sort of buffs can you give your minions? I know you can make them deal fire damage, but what else? Has anyone gone witch and focused on minions? Care to talk about how effective they are? I've never played a game where summoned-focused characters did very well, especially when the summons were AI controlled. I do want to make a necromancer character though and even try focusing in minions for PVP. Are you restricted to only 1 minion, or can you increase your count through the passive skill web?

All I know are zombies and specters.
You can buff minions with support gems of course, not sure which types would work on them. Levling your Raise Dead gem lets you summon more zombies as well as items having +1 minion mods on them and like you said, passive skills can also increase minion limit, so you could play a D2-like Necro most likely. Walking the path since August 20th 2011.

Anyone else care to comment? Thanks for the info.
It would be kind of interesting if they added other minions, such as beasts for ranger characters or maybe even human minions like bodyguards or something. My Keystone Ideas: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/744282

if you go to the video page and watch the skill video it says that many skills can be granted to minions. its a old video but it wouldnt be hard to take it down or edit one line out if they changed ther mind on the idea.
low level zombies wander around the aria they are summoned and slowly die. higher level ones die more slowly and i read somewere(some random thread) that they start following you properly eventually in the higher levels and can become permanent with item mods or passives. i also have a vague memory or chris saying a minion build is possible. everything i have said is based on 8-9 monthes worth or very scattered small bits of info i have no links for. |

With the crazy amount of passive skills in that crazy huge tree, i would be surprised if minions get no love at all. Can't tell how viable a dedicated summoner/necro build would be tho. At least i guess minions can be good meatshileds. =D
