Why make minions that suck?

And this is enough to not touch minions in POE2. In D3, LE, Grim Dawn and even in POE1 minions use their skills as they want (when they are not on cooldown) but here you must press button for every type of minion you summon to force them to use their skills.

i been bringing crazy awareness to these issues, watch my end game spectres not able to kill normal difficulty bosses lol, i dont understand why spectres do 100-200 dps drives me crazy, how these game developers are not fixing these issues

Because if minions are too good players won't have to push buttons. They don't want you to play a walking simulator. They want you to actively react to the threats along the way and make you engage with the game.

if they don't want a passive minions do the heavy lifting playstyle cool. but as it seems to stand currently. it's just actively hamstringing you to take minions over literally any other option. so if you are just making them trap bait get rid of them.

minions were never op.

There were full AFK builds that destroyed T4 pinacles in like 5 seconds while rocking 20k+ ES...

And how realistic is it for a normal player to achieve that build? [Removed by Support]
