Zelina / Zolina impossible for minion build

This fight is simply not viable for minion builds in its current state. Multiple runs with over 1M damage done and the boss is still at 3/4 health.

Please re-tune the amount of lifesteal from minions.

yuuuup
It shouldn't lifesteal minions period. Minions can't know to avoid something because of some mechanic and players can't control the enough to force them to avoid hits.

Totally agree here, did the same thing - had to ask a friend to kill them for me. This would be hours of farming if you are SSF, until you overlevel and overgear that.
Did it on my second try on lich minion using cultist archers, 2 clerics and 2 warriors, just move minions out of the big bad mechanic.
Skill issue really, and my gear was mostly random stuff with a lot of magic find on it. I specced into phys dmg of minions reducing armor which was a noticable dps buff for the fight.
i did this second try with vaal guards. also did azmadi or whatever his name is with 2 tries. if you play minions use vaal guards. other minions are garbage in the campaign
This is still a problem in the vault while mapping. Killed Zolin, but Zelina was impossible with melee minnions, did 4M damage and she just leeches to full health. After patch the Act seemed fixed, but apparently not mapping.
