Death Offering Bug

I've been using Death Offering from the Catarina Bloodline for several hours without a single minion dying from it since I have scaled my duration up long enough with the queen's hunger and hollow effigy.

when loading into a Maven Crucible 10 way encounter for the first time, my load screen took a particularly long time. When I got in all my minions had died, including my valuable spectres.

I took my chest off when returning to my hideout to see if the spectre corpses were in my hideout but they were not.

I was able to re-summon my animated guardian within the instance so they did not die inside. I'm sure it has something to do with abilities not casting while my character is stuck in my hideout on the server side during load, and I probably entered a new instance of my hideout upon return.

edit: Upon playing more with this setup, The issue seems to be swapping multistrike for melee splash causes the auto cast of the 3 offerings to be interrupted. This is probably what happened when I went to fight the Maven 10 way encounter. I'm not sure if its even a bug, but now I know I can't swap my gem in the boss fight.
