Essence of the Infinity - why?

Just why? Has anybody tested this against minions? Just picture it for as second - continuous rain of damage that destroys minions in a second. And keeps doing it. There is no cooldown, no attack animation, no mana requirement. The entire screen is filled with damaging rain and there is exactly zero counterplay to it if you happen to be a minion build.

Now slap it on a ranged monster who runs through the entire level.

And, of course FOR SOME REASON YOU ARE REQUIRED TO KILL ESSENCE MONSTERS TO BEAT A MAP.

Sorry, but this is ridiculous. There is no excuse to have something this stupid in the game. Essences should have been reworked a long time ago.

I am not saying minions aren't undertuned. But.

It's not like there are no counters to this.

Last Gasp makes it so your minions can still attack for some seconds after getting one shot.

You also need to invest on minion hp and armor. And it's possible the monster level is just too high for your character at this moment.

Lots of affixes out there make things impossible for some builds if you don't have counter measures. Like imagine life as a MoM sorc when there are melees with Mana Leech -.-

You know what what a proper countermeasure is? Having the ability to decide where I want to summon my minions. The thing is auto-aim so it will ALWAYS hit them when they respawn. The counter play of letting it hit me while they are on the other side is non-existent. Oh yes, they can be damaged while respawning too for some weird reason. And, of course, just don't require us to kill essence mobs to progress a map, how fucking hard is it?

+1 even against non-mininon build this shit is so overtuned and obnoxious compared to other essence mods. Its just non-stop aoe dmg with no breathing room.

Yes, for the record I have 0 issues with the other essences, just the infinity one
