Minion builds

Last league i played minion build, I have played alot of minion builds in the past, But in the last league my minions died instantly to some bosses. In previous leagues I had worse gear and stats for my minions and they did not die as easily from bosses. I specifically remember Redeemer insta killing all my minions this league, which never happend before. Something for sure changed, have they fixed this?

I really want to play minions for 3.20 but if this is still the case, then it doesn't feel good.

Depending on the minions you play, blessed rebirth and summon skeletons is a good combo to keep your minions immune to dmg for 4 seconds.

Ah forgot to mention, i was talking about most minions, zombies, spectres etc. As I said, minions didnt used to die to these bosses before. So what changed?

What kind of build are you using? Does it exist somewhere or is it your own? Your items are disgustingly good on your last build on kalandra!

Yeah, I have my own mage skeleton build, it is here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3241718

About your question, unfortunately, ggg decided to further nerf minions and their survivability. For those reasons, we need extra layers of defenses to protect and keep our minions alive. There are some stuff you could do for that, minion resistances, block, minion life gain on minion death, determination, defiance banner, and some items on the ag. etc.

Thanks for your responses! Are you going to play and/or keep updating your build for 3.20? Looks good.

Yes, it really depends on the 3.20 changes but I would most likely play mage skeletons again in 3.20 and update it there.
