Minions are never gonna be fixed.
I don’t know why they hate the playstyle so much

You’ll have to play one of the other ARPGs in the genre if you want to play minions. Even in those, there’s still some bugs but the play is much more fluid.
Calm down brother they are too busy messing with the reliquary

I also had the issue of no corpses or essence gain until I bought the ultra mega giga reliquary battle pass. Now my minions keep my essence bar full 24/7 and not only do they spam corpses but they carry corpses with them to the next fight.
These bugs were known throughout Season 7. So these “new” bugs are the continuation of the exact same bugs from last season. They just never bothered to fix them before the start of Season 8.

2nd type of Cold Mages bugged. They don’t apply Vulnerable. 
I will never understand how a necromancer with minions is weaker than one without. Terrible design.

Im not surprised. These bugs remais since PTR (some since PTR7)… Many players showed that and posted feedback on PTR Bugs Report.
My minions thorns build be dead again because a lot of bugs broken many multipliers (hellbent commander SINCE S7).
Besides us serving as “free” testers, they don’t even bother to fix the hundreds of bugs we report every day.
Idk if they understand that the basics of a game are that at least doesnt have persistent bugs.
They were quick to fix the bug with the reliquary, neglecting all the issues with all the classes and skills. This realy show what is important to them…

So according to Macrobioboi, the developers are working on a patch to fix this minion bug now that they are aware of it. So they’re telling us that they had no idea this bug existed until now. What happened to all the bug reports posted about the same bugs last season?
This tells me a lot about the current development team unfortunately. Bugs only get a priority fix if a streamer with some following reports the bug directly to them, but the posts from this forum aren’t worth their time when we all report the same bug.
So in the future if we want any minion bugs addressed, we have to send a message to Macrobioboi and hope he reads it and passes on the bug report to the development team.

There are so many bugs which change from season to season, that I think its a bit unfair to say they are unaware and not reading the forums/bug reports.
I think they are, but they are prioritizing content over function, which is just awful.
Personally I have been plagued by a “crash to desktop bug” which is far far worse then something not working in game. I would prefer they make the game stable first, fix bugs second, add content 3rd.
Anyway bugs aside, I have found minions great this season, leveled up in penatent, had a few deaths this season (non last) and then hit 60 and insta switched to T1 which was very easy as at this point I had a few aspects and the minion boss power.
Cruised through T2 got into T3 today, and now just got into T4 at paragon 112. Just playing my own minion build from last season… and so far so good.
edit** well I solo’ed T4 Duriel at paragon 133 with absolutely awful gear and 3 level 30ish glyphs. Was very slow going as he was killing my minions all transition period with his new burrow mechanic.
Anyway, my point being Minions is absolutely T4 viable, and with gear will completely stomp T4. I think stomping T4 should be the new minimum bar for a competent build while pit 100 seems a bit of an unknown due to the difficulty changes added this season.
Haha who was i kidding trying to play minions again. I’m not even going to bother anymore. Uninstall time xD
Not having minion issues here. Using the 7 warriors, 5 bonespear mages and bone golem with spirit wolves. Mages casting zillions of bonespears. Can almost comfortably do t4. Will be np once i get a mythic or decent GA gear
