Minions and weapon swap

I've running into some weird issues with weapon swap and my minions.

so I have one weapon set with +1 level to physical spells, which I have assigned to my bone skills

and another set with +1 to chaos spells for ED/Contagion

while on weapon set 1, the game just straight up wont let me summon a skeleton archer, despite having enough spirit to do so.

and, whenever I swap between these skills in combat, it just... unsummons all minions and then resummons new ones on the swap. which make sit very difficult to keep a front line between me and the monsters.

however, sometimes when I swap weapons it just kills all minions and doesn't summon new ones.

I'd like to take advantage of weapon swap specializations to be able invest in chaos/phys damage passives, but so far its really making the minions a complete hassle and very unreliable.

Didn't even consider that would happen if both weapon slots had the same/similar spirit totals, but was going to come make a post making a suggested change. Gonna toss it here instead as it would fix the issue I think.

So here goes. If minions summoned by Spirit didn't go away on weapon swap, so long as you have the skill gem socketted (not just free from items), but require you be on a weapon set that has spirit to resummon them if they die. This would allow the whole weapon set/skill set mechanic to function like everything else.

The way it is now feels like if I was using grenades on crossbow and swapped to blocking with a shield and the grenades just vanished because I didn't 'stay' on my crossbow. I'm pretty sure it's the only mechanic atm that's like that.

This would also support oddball builds like say an archer necromancer. Which is one of my favorite things to do but if I use a bow atm, no summons. It's a bummer atm.

Gonna circle back to this. I've now been trying to run skeleton reavers. but when I activate Enrage. it just resets the moment my weapons swap. which is very frustrating.

cast enrage, cast contation, cast ED, cast a bone skill (which forces a weapon swap) it resummons all revers and removes the berserk.

why are all minions killed and then resummoned when you weapon swap it feels very bad.
