Witch minions not lasting

Hello all. I am new to the game and forum. My question is. When I summon my minions through primary attack they appear, however if I use bone cage all my summoned minions dissappear. They only stay active when using primary attack, all my spirit is spread evenly so I cam summon 3 minions and 2 bone archers.

The only change I made before this happened was swap my scepter now I can only use bone abilities or just minions but can no longer mix abilities with minions.

Check in skills tab, what weapon set (1 or 2) are assigned to what skills.

I think you do a weaponswap when using the bonecage and thus the minions dissapear as you use stats from weapon slot1 for the minions.

I have set abilities to appropriate slots, however it seems any time I cast a ability the minions just dissappear. I have arranged skills to be on different bars yet it yields the same result. The only minions that last are from unearth skill.
