Dose PoE2 have a pet class like PoE1's Necromancer?

[Kengo19]

I really enjoy playing pet classes which is why I liked the Necromancer.

Gemling Legionnaire might be a decent pet class too because of bonuses to gems.

There's very likely going to be a tanky aura focused class that's good with minions like Guardian in the first game.

I fully expect Necromancer to be Witch's third ascendancy class though. It's probably just not finished yet.

Raging spirits will still be in PoE 2 but with a twist:

Raging Spirits

Buff

Minion, Fire Duration, Persistent

Level: 5

Reservation: 30 Spirit

Requires Level 16

Requires: Int 31
Reserves Spirit. While active, your Fire Spells will also summon Raging Spirits, which are short-lived flaming skulls that rush at nearby enemies and rapidly Attack them. Enemies will not directly engage these Minions, and can pass through them.

Minions from this skill convert 70% of Physical Damage to Fire Damage

Base duration is 4 seconds

Limit 10 Summoned Raging Spirits

Fire Area Spells summon a Spirit per 1.5 metres of radius

Projectiles from Fire Spells summon a Spirit on hit

Maximum 5 Spirits summoned per Spell cast

They really want to push the hybrid Caster/Minion build.

Yep many if our minion nodes seem to be minion/spell damage and the likes.
