Minions

This isn't supposed to be a "PoE good D4 bad" shitpost even though it sort of may come off that way, but doing the same thing the competition essential did even if it was by accident was a mistake.

I just played Necro in the PoE affliction league where a major new thing was they added special "spectres". If you don't know Raise Specre is basically a spell in the game where you resurrect any dead enemy in the game or the ones you buy during the league mechanic and they fight for you. Every spectre has different attacks and different buffs they can give you and the other minions you have (you can literally do this with any monster in the entire game). Then you have your Guardian which is another minion that can be constructed from any gear inside the entire game and it has all the benefits, in turn also buffing you. I'm talking a whole full gear set of whatever items you want. Mine had more expensive gear than my actual character. Then you have your other support minions and raging spirit which is what I played so you are shooting flaming skull minions that are buffed by your other minions which are buffed your specters and by your guardian and also your golems.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

Now i'm playing season of the Dbot and it feels so lackluster in comparison I'm already bored as fuck at level 30. I can't for the life of me see how they thought this was better than even their last season. At least that felt good. In a game where minions are already bad, doing a minion based season seems like a mistep bigtime.
