Did you adjust minion health to the new content? NOPE!

The whole grind through acts was one episode after another of resummoning minions. I figured reaching maps things would get better. It did not...

Option 2... Buy level 20 minions. Did deaths and resummons stop? NOPE.

When you slow down combat you and your minions have to get hit longer and harder They do not last long. Niether do you but the multitude of threads here already illustrate this.

Imagine how #$%*^%$ frustrating this is.

Folks that are handicapped like myself are very limited in the types of builds we can run.

I at first felt like they accidentally released hard mode as core content, but they released a hotfix that didn't address any of the main issues, such as a bullshit effigy mod, instead of getting that shit out of the core so that's that. GGG doesn't care about most players, they just want those who have mirror characters to feel at least some amount of difficulty apparently.

First map after your latest hotfix... First pack of blue mobs killed 6 out of 8 zombies. Lvl 4 map.

And for the record I have +59 invested into minion resistances.

How can you guys screw this up so badly?

NS

Yeah, I heroically tried to play spectres.

No way it was tested at all.
Just. No. Way.

Just did Crimson township boss... L6 map.

Lost 1 Spec, 8 zombies, Golem and 2 totems - Followed by me. This was the boss...

Instantly vaporized... lol

This again shows the foresight and balancing that is in play here.

Cannot wait for higher lvl maps...

how can you mess $%#@ up this badly?

NS

Bramble valley was so hard i thought i was doing the feared.

Magic map with super safe mods btw.

I thought this particular boss needs some time to charge up

Minions are kinda all over the place right now.

Skeleton mages are absurdly powerful this league due to fleshcrafter.

Spectres have been in a sketchy spot for a while, but it gets better once you hit 25+ gem level with gear. And I think GGG forgot that zombies exist lol

Btw op if you're having trouble you should make your profile public so people can help you out. You might be able to fix some of ur problems with gem swaps & using supports like minion resist & getting minion chaos resist or life regen on tree.

I don't need help lol... Im stuck in the usual no currency drops. I have exactly 1 chaos to my name lol. Just purchased Dead reckoning.

hard to generate currency when maps are super slow. Minions die like flies. Constant one shots etc.

I could instantly fix my situation by going pay to win. I always play honestly though. So thats my main issue playing with what im getting.

Every league it gets worse and worse for honest players and casuals.

My other issue is im disabled... One hand play. its on the mouse or does not happen. that leaves specs or totems. both in a bad place.

My point of this thread is that minions SHOULD NOT be getting easily destroyed in white maps. This shows how badly GGG is screwing this game up.

GGG should have at least realized beefing content would have an effect on minions and totems...

Given the absurd amount of resistances given to blues and rares based on certain arch mods, I'd say fleshcrafter is now a necessity more than anything.

Skeletons in general are just the best minions for this just because of the Blessed Rebirth cluster jewel passive. Your minions need to be able to live to deal any damage, and without the jewel, you're lucky if they don't die as soon as you summon them. Blessed Rebirth gives 4 seconds of minion invulnerability on spawn, giving them enough time to actually do something before getting obliterated. It's also good for SRS if fighting enemies with Mana Siphon or some other AoE spam.

If GGG leaves arch mods like this (they only nerfed their resistances from +60% to +50%), summoners do not need to be nerfed next league. Hell no. Every other build needs to get fucking buffed, because this is ridiculous.

Add timed leagues on top of all this, and investing in defenses is practically shooting yourself in the foot unless you have remarkable skill at producing currency.
