[Feedback] Offering Skills - Not suitable for endgame
List of issues with the offering skills (pain and bone) for the Witch in the endgame
1. Brutus Brain support gem does not work with the offering skills - I have 10 and 13 second duration for pain and bone offering. they will still last 2 or 3 seconds if getting hit. I moved on to the 40% damage reduction support gem, but still seems like it does not help much. 2. Lack of survivability 2a. I have 30% physical damage reduction, 70% resist, and 48% chaos resist for the offerings. They have 121% increased max life. They still get shredded in T15 maps when confronting stronger offensive rare/unique monsters, large density packs, any abyss groups, and bosses. 2b. I've been using Enfeeble to try and keep the offerings alive longer, but I still run into 2 or 3 rare/unique monsters per T15 that make offerings pointless to cast since they destroy them too quickly 2c. Both offerings do not last long at all when confronting Abyss in the maps or in the depths. Abyss monsters tear through the offerings due to the aoe damage. 2d. Due to the lack of survivability of the offerings, when they get destroyed quickly, my 3 clerics burn through their revives on my skeleton minions and then they are not able to keep my archers up. 2e. bosses as well, with good aoe, will destroy the offerings pretty quickly. I point all this out because trying to have a skeleton build with the passive to get 50% extra damage from having two offerings active is a pain to keep up. The strongest endgame content, in which I would need the offerings, I can't use them because they don't survive. It makes sense to build for the offering bonuses to make the minions stronger for endgame, but they can't survive long enough to get any bonus. If the brutus brain worked, it would be nice to use, but since you can only use one of those support gems for 1 skill. even if that was fixed, I would not get the 50% damage bonus since one of the two offerings would still die too quickly.
