Did you adjust minion health to the new content? NOPE!
|
Right now any of the special content can easily wipe your entire minion army out. That needs fixing.
By special I mean, Blight, delve, etc, etc. Im running plenty of minion defensive measures. +59 resists. %5 health increase on minion death. Enhanced convo. L20 gems. etc. Thats how much damage is being dished out. simply put... Its broken. Fyi... last league I lost maybe 5-10 zombies the entire league and never a spec. NS |

Im running phantasms and the gain 5% health on minion death with the skels. Last league there was no need what so ever for blessed rebirth. the pantasms provide a constant regen.
Now your right... You have to have it with the absurd damage out put potential. ALL OF THIS SHOWS HOW BROKEN THINGS HAVE BECOME. NS " Last edited by Nightstone13#5744 on May 18, 2022, 9:42:07 PM

Desert springs... L8 One yellow mob again destroyed 8 zombies, 1 golem. Boss ports in tons of nasty mobs in a small space while your in quicksand.
Oh ya... lots of fun. Well balanced too. It just keeps getting better lol. NS |

Im playing mages also. Just a tip. Use the stalker sents on very low tier maps, even with no mods or just crappy magic ones. Use your stalker sent and run the map, maybe spec into harbinger on the atlas, good currency. Youll get currency. Trust me. I farmed almost over 100c + chaos recipe, casually. Im new, as in first season new.

After latest patch... still losing minions ON LOW LEVEL maps. STILL BROKEN.
Lvl 7 Ivory temple. 5 Zombies dead on a pack of blues ( Me too - Got off screened ). MINION DEFENSES NEED TO BE RAISED IF YOU EXPECT THEM TO GO TOE TO TOE WITH OVER AMPED CONTENT. HELLO? ANYONE HOME? NS |

It is worse on pure supportive minions(though the problem existed and was worsening every previous patch). My level 18 Stone Golem can hardly survive any fight when there are magics and rares in t5 maps(my Holy Relic doesn't involve in close combat and survives a little better somehow).
Two-handed - Mop
Dual Wield - Slippers One-handed & Shield (close combat) - Brush & Basin One-handed & Shield (ranged) - Hair Dryer & Mirror Main-hand & Off-hand (evil witch) - Sponge & Soap |

People last league thought I was cracked or lying when I said skeleton mages is the last good build summoners still have after they've been nerfed to hell. I told them that zombies are a joke, nobody cares about Reaper, and spectres have lost relevance as a good DPS minion since GGG fixed Syndicate Operatives.
What do we have now? Zombies are a joke. Arch enemies tear them apart. Nobody cares about Reaper still. Damage is way too low to ever be relevant thanks to arch enemies. Golems are mid. Animate Guardian still useless for anything besides buffs, assuming arch enemies don't murder them first. The only minions that still have any semblance of staying power right now are all of the temporary ones: SRS, Phantasms, and Skeletons. Why? The Blessed Rebirth cluster jewel passive. That's it. Were it not for the 4 seconds of damage immunity, they'd be just as worthless. "But summoners are safe, though!" What good is being safe if your minions die as soon as you summon them? Even if they didn't, why are we ignoring the fact that summoners are one of the slowest archetypes in the game? They don't use as many portals as you do from dying all the time, that doesn't mean they'll outfarm currency faster than you by any stretch of the imagination. If GGG nerfs summoners next league without doing anything about how broken arch enemies are or how badly non-summoners are getting wrecked by them, I'll be incredibly disappointed. Other builds should be buffed. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

" Dude no calm down. Skele mages is the easiest thing to come online as a build and you just wont do anything. Look at your current gear you have a tabula on like .... what are you doing???!!!! Replace Tabula: 5-link flesh crafter = 35c Get the cluster jewel with blessed rebirth = 25c SO YOUR MINIONS DONT DIE IMMEDIATELY, EVERYONE RUNS THIS Replace your bones of Ulr: Alberons warpath = 3c Replace your biscos collar with literally any amulet = cheap (life/es and res) Replace your profane proxy with literally any ring = cheap (life/es and res) Replace your kalisas grace with literally any gloves = cheap (life/es and res) Replace your wand with a convoke base and literally alch and scour until minion damage = cheap Replace your crap shield: Lions eye remorse = 10c Fix your flasks, 2 health flasks... Get corrupted blood immune... Hope you have been working on pantheon as well. Your character is wearing quest gear still, you have an effective health pool of 5k. 5k!!!!! like do you even know how to play???? You could pick up so much budget crap for your setup but instead you complain on the forums??? Get real kid and stop lying on the forums.

" Oh, I hadn't looked at their current build. It could definitely use some improvements. That being said, I strongly recommend looking at Kay's Skeleton Mages build guide for an idea on how you should be gearing. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145#p24300842 End result will give you 200k+ EHP against bosses. Still won't do much in making your minions not get shredded by mobs though, Blessed Rebirth is still a required passive. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.
