Out of interest is there justification for why its a problem that minions don't survive in simulacrum? I raise that as a point because there are already a shitload of build archetypes that can't do simulacrum either.

Is the goal that it should be achievable for everyone? In which case the entire sim design needs changing not minions. Also capped block + block recovery lets them survive in there the same as regular players its just not considered worth the opportunity cost to do so.

Can't speak for the Ubers i've no experience of them with a summoner.

11 years of playing and a lot minion builds. Let's see that great minion build ?

Ps.. 11 x 2 = 22 builds. I've made about 30+ this league. I lost count.

Oh man, where do I start...2 PER LEAGUE (at least). Check your math my friend. Or maybe that's why you can't figure out how to keep your minions alive because math isn't your forte? Also, you make 30 builds in one league, but learn nothing from build 1 to build 30...so its just 30 of the SAME build, or exceptionally similar. Smh man. Also 30 builds in one league? So you played each one for like 4 days? And you couldn't do the ubers? GASP. Making build after build is not learning...taking a single build and tweaking and perfecting until it works is learning. You fall into the insanity trap: repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

As far as proof, Orbaal DID provide proof which you ignored. Well I don't like to say proof, but rather "evidence" of certain ways that point to exactly why your minions die. I don't need to provide proof, I offered you possible solutions. It is on YOU to take those solutions and see if they work. And furthermore, as far as proof goes, I pointed you to Ghazzy (I think I mistakenly said Ghastly last time lol) who has 100s of videos on workable, survivable minion builds from no currency to massive currency. He has spent countless hours documenting and testing nearly every mechanic there is for minions and how they cooperate. There are many other videos that also prove this. All your videos show is your lack of understanding and balance.

I hate to say this because I know it sounds really arrogant, but at this point in my PoE career I don't need to prove what I say with screenshots/videos/etc. That's just a waste of time. Knowing how the game works, and knowing the counters is enough to assume it'll work. 100% of the time? Of course not.

Ubers are the end of the end content in the game. Simulacrum 20/25+ is also the end of the end content. It doesn't take a genius to realize that, unless you have the best of the best items or damn near it, you SHOULDN'T be beating that content!

Also...on top of ALL OF THIS is the argument about specific ascendancies providing an edge. Why shouldn't a golemancer elementalist provide a unique buff that other classes can't get without heavy investment? It is the entire point of the ascendancy choice! Why shouldn't a necromancer be better/easier with minions than a freaking assassin? Total balance = loss of identity = pointless choices. Although it WOULD be pretty damn interesting to have an item (ring/amulet) that grants 1 random ascendancy keystone to any class. That would certainly shake things up. Forbidden gems on steroids lol.

You have no proof of anything. Just words and insults that are false about my builds.
