Minions overpowered af

Ok I trust you man, but then up till that point it's absolute broke. Not even bow would match it, not even close I swear. Not to mention you'd need weapon which i suppose is more ssf related.
I don't need curse, dps aura, no nothing, on tree i have 12 minion points 4 of which are life oriented. That must be cheapest pasive tree dps invest I made ever.

Maybe I should just make my peace, that's how minion always were anyway I guess. But It makes me dislike other builds fair a bit.

I did too, then I got good enough at the game to be bored with only playing minions. I still main them, but I wouldn't be playing the other stuff if I hadn't hid behind a meat wall first.

the only aura that would work for explosion is skitter bots
cuz of shock

not even anger will work becuz the explosion is not a spell
you could get malevolence if you go ignite BUT them you wouldnt benefit from multiple explosions, becuz ignites wont stack

if you needed aura, there wouldnt be one to use

what seens to be a "plus" now is becuz its the start of the maps

but is a cool build any way
I like playing explosion minions

you could try death wish as well, maybe you like it

or explosion skellys cuz i think the dps can be greater

but i still think the happiness will end once you reach buffed red maps hehe

it will be cool still, but you wont think it as overpowered, that im sure

You clearly just finished with the tutorial, and started with maps.... This world is an illusion, exile.... The real world awaits. That wall of reality will hit you sooner than later.

kekw what a troll

Minions are ded.
You can check it easilly.
Try to fing minions on poeninja in 3.19 lmao.
Less than 1% now.

Still tho guys its way to powerful and fun when you compare it to other stuff, wheres you might need some item at least even if not a build enabler.

You're basically just discovering how skills scaling up have huge discrepancies.

For example, hollow palm can hit really high damage early on compared to most in the same level range. However, it tapers off. My pure phys hollow palm cyclone was one of two characters that got me to 40/40 during the original archnem. But now even fully built and geared in standard, he's just too much a liability when facing random archnem combinations.

My zombie/mage skel/spectre setup using legacy baron's and violent deads (which apparently stopped reducing slam cd) is no where close to what it was even as recent as sentinel league.

SRS is nice for a while, but keep in mind health scales way higher later on before map mods even become a factor. Early and mid mapping only starts to outline a baseline for evaluation. Compared to simulacrum, 100% delirium, uber maven, etc, what works early on well isn't guaranteed to scale well late.

SRS Bomber is not too bad (see kay gaming on youtube) but SRS in general is not that good despite the recent buff. Damage is too low and mana costs too high.

SRS is really good actually. But the OP's opinion on it is based on VERY early progression.

Bout the only thing I have left to do is uber bosses on SRS. If I want to do this ill need more of the higher end stuff, ie:

1. +2 bone helm
2. +2 amulet or ashes
3. +2 trigger wand
4. Improved versions of all my Ghastly eye's
5. Aegis aurora/ Chest piece rework (which ill have to move a bunch of resist around and rework my entire setup for these two pieces)

On the high end of SRS its a bit $$$.

I'm running multiple summoner builds, because I'm in a mental state of limbo since all of my staple minion builds are dead (skeletons, zombies, spectres). I've got a phantasm build up to mapping which already feels pretty weak at white tiers, a Chains of Command AW in act 9 that's showing real good promise so far, and a popcorn SRS in act 10 which also feels alright. SRS doesn't feel OP to me, goodness knows my Heist runs aren't anywhere close to smooth anyway, but they don't feel underwhelming compared to phantasms.

The only thing I don't like about SRS, since it's my first time actually running a build with them, is that they don't feel like I'm playing a summoner. It's more like I'm playing a caster spamming smart fireballs.
