I went to the capstone at 42, regular mobs can still wipe them out, even with full investments to make them stronger.
We still arent there for minions. Sad.
What, you don’t like the +12% armor?
Yeah, I can have 12 minions up, and a couple of hits, dead. Dead everywhere.
Their damage isn’t impressive either.
At least let there be a trade off. If minions are going to die, let them hit hard. If they arent going to hit hard, make them harder to kill.
They are annoying right now.
eh… yeah doing things 8 levels higher than you crushes minions basically but they don’t want you doing stuff 8 levels higher.
I actually think players should be getting MORE xp to curve into the capstones and such faster and progress into WT4 at the correct level. There’s too much sitting around grinding levels to progress into the next tier so players end up trying to do capstones 10~ levels before they’re supposed to and have a hard time…
I’ve had 0 issues with minions dying within a few levels of me so far personally, but yeah… do a capstone 8 levels ahead and they get deleted. Dunno what to tell you.
Im seeing people solo world bosses, and we are worried about people doing stuff 8 levels under while leveling?
I like how they replaced “your minions no longer get one shot” with “your minions have +12% more armor”.

minions are handicapped in diablo innately because you can’t out-skill content with your minions… they’re AI and RELY on your level and gear. so… idk what to tell ya.
that’s just the reality of what minions are in this game. would it be fun to have them somehow just be crazy and never die? sure dude but that’s unlikely to happen. grind a few more levels and just do roughly level appropriate stuff if you dont want your minions getting domed. it is what it is
My 82 necro on eternal has some pretty tanky minions, but I think they rely almost too heavily on paragon. Then again, I haven’t played them since S1…
Current S2 necro is 57, and yeah my minions melt like butter. Doesn’t help that I’m doing content above my level, but it does make me wonder why I don’t just play a non-minion build…all over again.

Im doing tier 50 NMD on my necro with bone mages and my minions are tanks.
You need a lot of + minion hp in your gear. Life after kill also helps to keep them up.
My issue is that minions cant proc lucky hit and all the minion vampire powers are lucky hit proc based. So you need to run something with a high lucky hit chance like bone spear. Though then you might as well run a bone spear build.
