Blizzard, it’s time to take a hard look at this ring and make some changes. The Ring of Mendeln currently accounts for 90-95% of a minion Necromancer’s damage output, and—surprise—it’s bugged again.
Right now, the ring isn’t functioning as intended. Aspects aren’t being applied to its damage, and this needs to be addressed. Every season, there’s another issue with minions: we’re either overperforming because of a bug or underperforming because of one.
I’m not sure if this issue is specific to PC players, so I’ll share this feedback in other forums as well. But honestly, if content creators can crunch the numbers and identify these problems, why can’t the developers who made the game?

Hopefully this gets addressed ASAP, as it ruins Necro minion builds completely and hardcaps us at Tier2. It should not be that hard to make one item work as intended…

I managed to make it into T3, granted. But my gear is stellar. We shouldn’t be capped at all. Minions are performing at bottom of B-tier right now, and we should be top of A-tier if not bottom of S-tier thanks to the seasonal buffs.
Blizzard has just gotten lazy, I don’t know why they’re neglecting Minions so bad. Like … Here’s another idea? Want to make minions more viable? Give us a damn Kill Command like we had in D3. Let us focus target our minions. Kill Command is already in the game, Companion druids have it. There’s no excuse outside of laziness.

I just reported and posted about this annoying bug issue about the Ring of Mendeln that has been going on without any final fix or resolution for far too long. I posted in the D4 Bug forum, so hopefully Blizzard will notice and do the right thing and finally fix this damn problem sooner than later.
Side note to the Blizzard D4 Team!
I find it rather messed up and hypocritical of YOU, Blizzard D4 Team, when last season there was a potion elixir bug issue that gave huge amounts of health to players, and YOU, Blizzard D4 Team, RUSHED to fix that bug within 48 hours, instead of allowing players to enjoy it, and yet an important Unique like the Ring of Mendeln has NOT been working properly since the ring was introduced. I just find this very messed up, irresponsible and outright wrong for YOU, Blizzard D4 Team, to neglect this in Diablo IV, and yet be quick to fix some minor BS bug elixir issue and not more imporant bugs and broken issues in the game! Not to mention, this issue is a huge waste of time for players who end up grinding to get the Ring of Mendeln only for the damn ring not to work as intended, and that is not good or acceptable!
Let’s hope Blizzard resolves this bug issue once and for all, because it is long overdue for a fix! - JJ -
