My feedback for minions

Dear GGG and Community,

in POE 2 I've been having a lot of fun so far. I really enjoy the games core and are really looking forward to the final version.

I've been playing mostly with minions so far. I like that switching to different minions is easier than ever and have been trying all of them so far.
Therefore I must say that some minions behave much different then others in terms of AI.
I had for example a very bad experience with the Skeletal Sniper minions but a much better feeling with Skeletal Storm Mage minions. I hope in the future they can behave somewhat equally so you don' feel forced to play one specific minion type just because of the AI, but this is not my main concern.
Unfortunately there is one problem I noticed with every type of minion. When travelling in a rather narrow map with small doorways the minions keep getting stuck at those doors or other obstacles and don't move at all. To be able to proceed with the map you have to walk very far away and wait a long time for them to "die" and "revive". This is something that is definitly not possible in very dense endgame maps where yxou would die instantly and therefore a huge disadvantage when it comes to minion gameplay.
A screenshot where most of my minions are stuck in a doorway is attached at the bottom.
I want to mention that I don't mind the fact that there is no skill available to summon all minions on the players location since I like to think that the minions behave like an own individual and therefore fight on their own while following the player (by having access to a summoning skill the minion gameplay feels more like any other spell caster). But in order to help with said issue the AI would definitly need to ba able to pass through small corridors by letting each minion walk one after another.
I know that this issue will not be an easy fix but I really hope to see that in the future, since this would make the minion build and gameplay much more enjoyable.

So far this has been my main concern with minion gameplay in general otherwise I really enjoy playing them. I hope my feedback can help to identify and solve issues so that the whole community can have even more fun.
