Minions getting stuck needing resummoning / Pathing and movement issues

I have 11 minions. They get stuck at doorways and hallways or tight spaces on most of the waystone maps.

Why is this a bug? Because for minion builds, most of the damage comes from the minions. If they are getting stuck and AFKing at the doorway despite the command minions being used to no avail, then that is basically the same as comet not doing damage, hence being a bug.

But I'd like to think this is a combination of a bug + coding in general.

Minions cannot be getting stuck and then have to be auto resummoned (which the player cannot control) since the player would normally enter the tight space to try to get their minions inside and use their skills. Automatically resummoned means that they disappear for awhile and only reappear (based on your minion revive speed) later on.

This puts the player in a very vulnerable situation with no minions to tank (not that they also tank very well since plenty of monsters just hard focus the player directly and I have no idea why it's this way).

This also means that the player needs to wait for resummoning animation to be over before being able to cast any of the minion skills.

Minion skills also require line of sight (at least for the skeletal sniper poison cloud). So casting it when they are all funneled at 1 small door way and no one is going through means that the skill basically never comes out. It just hits nothing.

So yes, this is a bug. The minion who is being commanded to use their skill should be able to cast it. But if they are restricted by a wall, they should be programmed better to get into position to cast.

OR, just make it such that their skills can go over the wall. Arsonists attacks also face this same issue where they just stand on the other side of the doorway or funnel area and keep throwing into a wall. Sometimes it goes over, but other times it doesnt.

Not sure what the intention is here but if you don't fix this, then what's the point of trying to get 400+ spirit to get as many minions for more damage and versatility just to have all of them stuck at so many different spots on so many of the waystone maps.
