Ya i know, that's what i am saying, there is no Minion Class. And the Gemling Nodes are the only useful ones here, that would help Minions.
All other Classes have nothing for them. So You have to go with Gemling and path a super awful route up there.
This is my Criticism!
Why make Minions in the first place if you are not supporting the Archetype with Ascendancy nodes?
I don't talk about DMG, i mean game changing mechanic's that would alternate the Playstyle.
There is nothing there for Minions and as i said, Jonathan stated in an Interview, that there will be no Minion Class, and doubled down with a contradicting Argument, for why there will be none.
Not his exact quote, but: "If we make a Necromancer, everybody is going to pick the Necromancer!" DUH, Deadeye, Witchhunter, Stormweaver? Its just bullshitting!

As people said it earlier, these ascendancy classes seem dull and uninspired. 20 inventory slots, additional armor from chest, 15% life are all trash. Pathfinder is dead on arrival, it doesn't even have any support for any flask skill granted by ascendancy besides the poison one in the tree. This list can go on and on. What kind of design is that?

I think that these trees do not affect builds in the same way they did in Path of Exile and that is not a good thing, because they significantly limit the variability of builds. IMO, after the hype goes down in 1-2 weeks after the EA's release, it will become obvious that building around these trees is not that interesting as it was in PoE. I'd be happy to be wrong about it, however right now I personally don't feel excited about these at all.
