Xbox minion problems while wielding spellslinger wand

Equipped sceptre gives me two free minions. 244 available spirit. I could allocate the spirit for up to 12 more minions and it would take the spirit but would not spawn any more minions above the two free ones and I spent like 30 minutes trying to figure out what I had done that caused this to happen. Eventually I figured out that the cause of the issue was that I had removed comet from my spellslinger wand. I had messed with it a little bit but had decided against using it and needed the support gem slots for other skills as I had reached my limit due to attribute requirements so I had taken this out as I was not using it anyway. For whatever reason, as soon as I put comet back into my wand, my minions spawned. Really weird and totally unrelated but that fixed the problem. Xbox series X.

My friend had similar issue today on PC. Is seems that if you have nothing socketed in your Spellslinger your minions spirit requirements are calculated improperly. Socketing anything fixed issue immediately.
