Came back after 2 years.

back then, the main problem was, that you needed no gear to do damage with minions, this was the main problem. Now you need to insane minion crafts on your gear to reach old levels, as well as some synergies, not much different from other builds, but then again minion stuff is expensive.

maybe a buff will come with transfigured skeleton and zombie gem, keep the hope alive^
