Minions are impossible to play right now

Hello,

since PoE2 only works if you combo your way through the game you are forced to combine things, so I use Skeletal Sniper and Skeletal Arsonist. The damage is fine but as soon as you are up against any boss, they instantly nuke all your minions. In all bossfights so far I was 90% of the time without any of my minions and often they get killed in their spawn animation.
Most bosses I could kite around and hit them with some other stuff or they at least spawned adds so I could summon a few minions with Unearth but that was only the first 3-4 bosses. After that I have never seen an add anymore until now.
I am still in Act 1 and currently I am at Cemetery of the Eternals and the Boss of that Zone has such a high AoE that he not only oneshots all my minions but also hits me. His AoE is almost half of the whole area.

So I am now forced with either begging friends that don't play minions for help or to switch to chaos damage as it is impossible to kill that guy because the minions are way to squishy, meatshield doesn't do anything and the survival nodes on the tree are too far away to reach that early in the game.

I know we are in EA and problems etc. are "okayish" to have but having all bosses just instagibbing all my minions is not anything where we talk about "skill issue" or anything, we talk about very badly thought through things and that minions take 8 seconds to respawn doesn't help in these cases too.

Minions absolutely need damage reduction from bosses in the early game so you can stand a chance at all. Since you advertised minions hard in your videos I really hoped you actually tested them well... sadly you didn't, at least in early game.

edit:
When you get enclosed in a small area and your minions are behind the "door" they are forced to stay outside and are not teleported to you. Because of that I was in the last stage of the Boss "The Hunt" and all my minions except 1 melee minion where trapped outside of the area. When this single minion died it was resurrected but the other minions where outside. My Poison Cloud skill was cast and took MP from me but did not hit into the area.
