None of the minion legendary nodes from the necromancer paragon boards are working. And by this I mean they are completely broken, and allocating them doesn’t make any kind of difference.
Cult Leader, Hulking Monstrosity are the ones I can confirm 100% to having no effect whatsoever, with Flesh-Eater likely being affected as well.
Please fix this - that extra 15% damage per summon type is kind of a make or break for summoner necros - and right now it’s making the build unviable.
Even with these working as intended, it’s still not viable. There are too many issues with minions, not just their damage.
They just don’t stack up against the other specs. It’s an absolute shame.
It’s not just the legendary or rare nodes in the boards. It is the entire board. None of the nodes in the board actually change your damage in any way. I just tested this in game. If you put in 20-30 points into Cultist or Hulking boards then your damage is basically the same as just having the starting board. That’s why you feel so weak.
i relly hope this is fix as i play a minion build and did think that the build seams a bit lack luster but maybe thats just me
Dude reported this before the official launch of the game. Most masteries that calculate dps and def for minions don’t work. As well as some aspects (the one for the army of the dead which gives x% attack speed and damage reduction for minions, the other aspect not working is the one that for 3s after they attack they get x% attack speed which is supposed to stack up to 3x, also does not work ). Many aspects, passive skill trees and masteries don’t work, I counted about 60% of them! The rest works as it would like and could not and turns on randomly, not as it is in the description.
While I’m still able, I just farm gold and eq and change the build. Because it does not make sense. Max 24 dungeon ranks I can do. Above is a torture, a golem running around in circles whenever the boss or the object is too big, flying like a fool in a circle … Still with a uniqat ring with a lucky hit where dps actually counts and the minions with it beat 70-100k with a hit , and where every dps crit/overwhelm works and is the only item that works for minions.
And I think that if everything worked properly and recalculated the dps and all the rest, the minions would be great. I’m uploading a video (the second in a row) that shows how super minions work xD
I really appreciate that you are doing videos. Its a good start for blizz to realize that minions has serious issues.
However, I also made some tests and I am not sure if these issues are tooltip only. I migrated to bonespear over the levels (still having minions around but on higher nm dungeons they are literally useless and really just act as some kind of meatshild or support). So my point is, as I removed minion nodes like Cult Leader and such, the minions started to deal much less damage. So I am not sure if only the tooltip is bugged, or the values are not considered at all. I had a feeling we have both cases.
Please BLIZZ fix summon necro for us!
I am probably one of the most stubborn players when it comes to “swapping to meta builds” … everyone around me keeps telling me that i ditch summon necro and start playing bone spear, but i just wont…
Over the weeks i tested basically everything that drops for summon necro, and way too much stuff is not working… paragon passives, mainly Army of the Dead legendary - that is a huge issue, it is such a power cooldown, that by not having it the build is like 50% weaker…
And please dont tell me that i just “can notice that it works” … 200% attack speed is something you just notice…
Please start working on some fixes, because this is very frustrating
I feel like something is super wrong with Minions, i kinda sure Armey of the Dead legendary worked for me , but now i kinda sure it dosnt.
But not sure i only did see a huge dmg increase when using Armey when i got the legendary while leveling.
And the stacking attackspeed buff from the other Legendary dosnt seem to work allways too, like it stops stacking sometimes, or there is a attackspeed cap.
So far, havent seen any changes on the issue. Just yesterday i was playing with the entire minion board and there was no change in the damage. BLIZZARD, FIX THIS
a lot of legendary paragon on necro dont work!!! not only on minions!!! blood have the some problems
new patch still not working
Unbelivable that they not fixed this.
You guys know that the legendary nodes actually work, they just dont show on your stats and tool tips (but the damage numbers when your minions hit something go up), only buffs that seem to show on tool tips are permanent buffs from skill tree and and stats that increase your total damage like +% damage and legendary aspects that increase total damage.
It is still bad implementation of course, game seems to have spaghetti code issue (thats why it takes them 2 seasons to do something about gem tabs).
I think Krip did in depth test of minions and how thier stats work here HOW MINIONS WORK IN D4 - Diablo 4 - YouTube
