the witch + hellhound ascendency should be the typical minion build

[CitadelX]

Theres no any ascendency for any skill really apart from a a few examples like slam skills for warrior. Its jsut different from Poe1

I have really a hard time behind their philosophy to not have a "proper" ascendancy minion focus. Because if you look into others ascendancies, some do have that. Ranged Projectile ? Deadeye. Elemental Caster ? Stormweaver. Elemental Melee ? Invoker.

Minion Build is already one that have the more struggle to find thing that enhance their potential as most thing are related to your character personally.

But even then, I will still go full Minion because they did give us some really interesting toy outside of the ascendancy, like the Specter rework, more control over our minions, giving us some actual Minion active skills. We will see. :)

I've said this before and i'l echo it again, we have not seen enough of the ascendandies to say for sure. Maybe the infernalist witch ascendancy is exclusively minion nodes in the ones we haven't seen so far? it already has one that increases ignite chance for both you and minions. People are way too fast to start making pulling conclusions when we havent seen anything so far imo

No. They said themself they don't want a minion focus ascendancy like Necromancer was in PoE. Because they don't want people to be "forced" into one ascendancy. It will be their philosophy for now.

we saw 3 Infernalist node and only one ONE doesn't affect minions, one is a straight up minion, and in one recent interview Jonathan said they are thinking on making the demon form affect minion to.
People just love complaining thats it.
