yea i dropped minions for now and am just doing chaos damage.
will my chaos damage passives, apply to chaos-damage-dealing spectres? i saw that the cult archer flings chaos damage like a madman.
hmm will it effect triggered skills? Like the arsonist blast, or skeletal archer's gas arrow?If you take a node that increases chaos damage it won't increase the chaos damage of your minions.
Did you try a controller?Yes I'm running SRS then tried Sniper/Arsonis/Frost. They don't live at all, basically only SRS is doing dmg.
While I struggled at release it was not this bad, it's just plain unfun.
I'm done with 0.2 unless they do some huge patch to fix it. I got other games to play, but I was looking forward to PoE2 but not like this, fuck it.

Minion Instability.I have no idea, maybe you think it's fun gameplay to struggle through white mobs killing you pets.
I don't like how the game feels right now. I don't want to play it. Thats it.
You DO realize minion builds are the absolute least gear dependent builds in the entire game, and maybe, just maybe, people who aren't finding the game fun are all of us playing martial weapons who actually have to get up close and in the face of overtuned monsters to do piddly damage?Minion Instability.
I'm specifically replying to someone playing the same zone with the same build.You DO realize minion builds are the absolute least gear dependent builds in the entire game, and maybe, just maybe, people who aren't finding the game fun are all of us playing martial weapons who actually have to get up close and in the face of overtuned monsters to do piddly damage?
Nearly every other class in the game has to actually find upgrades on the ground in order to progress their character in a meaningful way, and that is another huge problem right now.
Seeing Ghazzy going depressed when failing T1 maps due to white mobs killing his minion just cemented my thoughts on not continuing right now.You DO realize minion builds are the absolute least gear dependent builds in the entire game, and maybe, just maybe, people who aren't finding the game fun are all of us playing martial weapons who actually have to get up close and in the face of overtuned monsters to do piddly damage?

Made it to Geonor on the huntress yesterday, when I couldn’t get a quarter of the life bar down I made the ranger… from here on out ranger is my starter character.Looking at all these Huntress and Warrior clips I was having an easy time with Skeletal Snipers.
This aged like 35 year old Mexican woman.Duly noted.
I started out trying to do minions but it felt kind of flakey and i didn't like spam casting to make skulls constantly so i respent to chaos damage contagion/essenece drain. i still have emberfussilade and srs on the bar (with unleash) because i mash that between ED dots to just send some skulls out to bug everyone.
and....i've had a much much, much easier time than when i w as doing a similar build at launch. it must be 100 percent because i know what i'm doing now, and because i have used the market to buy 2 'good' items. i payed 1ex for an effigy of cruelty antler focus (79% spell damage) and some corpsewades.
I managed to kill count gooner on the first try, without sweating at all. i did the king of the mist.... in a few tries while i was still trying to do a hybrid minion build.
I doubt my build or skills or ability to buy items will float me forever but i played ed/contagion at launch and it was toasted ass till i got hex blast. it's seemingly much easier this time. prolly i'm just specced better.
edit: i should clarify, i was ratty ass shitty blood mage last league. this time i'm going to go golden beautiful lich and i expect that to make a big difference later heh.
