Tbh was kind of sad about the minion nerfs at first but now

I would put money that minions are not only going to be fine but possibly even stronger than before in terms of damage on the top end.

From my perspective what GGG wanted to do is to nerf two things, afk builds and superiority of minions on low end.

Summon Reaper will be meta boss killer this league is my prediction.

By adding more affixes crafting just got buffed again. Guys over at TFT must be rubbing their hands.

As a non-meta build theoreticist I'm excited to see the changes good and bad.

With the Spirit Offering changes, I think Necro will have a lot of potential for crit minions and stuff like CoC/Crit Caster.

Unholy Might node sucks, people will probably skip Mindless Aggression and take Corpse Pact nodes instead. If I want chaos damage minions, I go for Occultist (-chaos resist, aoe wither, explosions, curse hexproof enemies, etc).

Crafting is completely, over the top bloated in poe. They should reduce it heavily into something streamlined. This has shifted POE from an action RPG into a game, that caters to crafters and traders mostly.
