Minion Build Help Please.

[O_o]

So I loved my minions on PoE1, but in 2.. there is no ascendancy focused on minions. Should I just go Sorceress to go Chronomancer while focus on minions? The all fire witch I know gets a hellhound.. but I was going to use more chaos spells on my minion build. Any tips welcome!

Infernalist, is prob the easiest for minions

Ghazzy is the minion master of PoE and he was thinking it would be Infernalist vs Gemling Legionnaire.

Tbh with you the ascendancy for "minion builds" is not fully out - Atm you can only pick bloodmage og infernalist - Both of these ascendancy are noth for minons (tbh with you) - The best minion build you can build would probally be Warbringer(Warrior) and u get a "minion" aswell from totem - but that's just my opinion. Yes i know infernalist get a hellhound but that is the kinda the only minion you got (it does not require "spirit" what i know of tho) so it might be good but that's pretty much all there is and rest will suck on minion build. Also if you are going for chaos dmg instead of fire it will just ruin your build even more. Just my personal opinion. Do whatever you want with this knowledge.

You don't have to use fire spells.[web.poecdn.com]

Node 3, Beidat's Will is crazy good for minions, more spirit = more minions.
You also have to pick up 1, which makes you tankier. So that's 50% of your Ascension points there.

Node 10 Loyal Hellhound gives you a permanent minion that does not require spirit, and takes 20% of damage for you, so you're tankier and gets you a minion.
It sounds a lot like the Sentinel of Radiance from PoE1 which was a really strong leveling Ascension point, and might be the best one to grab first.

Nodes 7->8 / 9, This just requires you to spend mana, it's not element specific. So as you cast curses, offerings, and summon temporary minions you build up Infernal Flame. 8 / 9 then gives you an AoE buff to your Minions depending on how much you have.

Altered Flesh does not make you more tanky!
7 is for a fire build even the name is Pyromantic Pact (For a reason) and 8 and 9 sync with 7 and ofc allies so yeah minions.
But to each their own i guess. I don't think it's good for a minion build. Just my personal take.
