PoE 1 vs PoE 2 - Which has BETTER Minions?

[@NathanPsprague]

Managing my specters was the reason I quit playing minions.

[@ConvoyD2]

For real

[@SevenBlades]

Such an atrocious system. I know Mark mentioned a change coming but I’m guessing that won’t be until after POE2 drops

[@missingdays1]

Animate guardian also

[@pwkn86]

and what do you mean about managing spectres? i get my spectres and i never have to get them again..haven't had to manage anything for years.

[@NoTenJakMuTam]

@@pwkn86 try more difficult content, they will die also, don't forget to resummon them when you accidentally drop them on the ground while changing gear

[@philllllllll]

This is the first time I'm excited about playing minions since diablo 2 Necro

[@yeahright420]

O God...

[@gzb4l421]

I'm a passionate golemmancer, even though I know that there's a possibility that golems won't be the same anymore and maybe won't even exist in POE2 anymore, I'm really looking forward to playing minions in POE2 It'll be amazing to have 2 POEs and 2 interspersed leagues

[@Zenbubbles]

I also played golemancer for almost every league I played for years. Even if golems are not in the game yet, or they go the route of a more active playstyle (summoning meteors that leave behind a temporary flame golem for example), there will still be spectres which will function more or less the same as permanent golems. There will probably be golem minions to bind as well.

[@leederlee]

And we don’t even know all the minions yet in poe2 😮

[@sweetpotato705]

Pretty sure they said no AG in POE2

[@neppity5887]

Did they recently say it wasn't going to be a thing? Last I recall they said if it did move over to PoE2 they would be drastically reworking how it worked. Maybe they are saving it for the Templar which allegedly focuses on the single powerful minion archetype in contrast to the Witch's army playstyle.

[@yakoobski]

I hope there will be a golem specific ascendancy 😅

[@Spookalypse]

The cleric that keeps your minions alive and resses them if needed is probably the BEST feature ever in an ARPG. Hands down to GGG for implementing that making minions less tedious and giving them a bit more survivablilty.

[@alexanderondar8891]

LE minions still tanky than those paper pieces

[@JanPapiezGaming]

@@alexanderondar8891 LE minions is literally worst archetype

[@alexanderondar8891]

[@CrimsonDX]

I am so excited for minions in PoE2. Minions where my favorite playstyle POE1, so I look forward to seeing these improvements

[@Balorian]

This has me so excited, I just hope they do minions well. Thank you for keeping my hype for minions going!

[@dannsilveira]

I really hope the massive and fast paced gameplay of poe 1 has a place in the end game for poe2. I really hate the idea of ​​turning Poe into a souls like arpg and wish there was a more balanced between boss fights and a massive farm.

[@johnnyboy13642]

I'm worried this is going to be a situation where other ARPGs have been down with bosses with insane HP lifepools that take anywhere from 10-15 minutes to kill. Also the lack of customization worries me with PoE2 minions because it seems like they are barebones in general and will be similar to pure support, whereas the whole minions doing 99-100% of the damage will be gone and we'll be left with having to use active skills over and over on necro. I am not young anymore, I prefer a more lazy gameplay than an active.

[@LCKaguya]

Can't wait to try minions on poe2, just hope I get access asap after 15th

[@slouch186]

for me, the necromancer class fantasy is about summoning minions who handle things themselves. i want my minions to enable a passive playstyle. this seems to run extremely contradictory to the game design goals of poe 2 so i really doubt it will ever have the minion experience i am looking for

[@andrewclarke2194]

great content cant wait for november 15th

[@SirMariio]

PoE2 for sure! I tested PoE 2 at BGS and played with Which (i am playing again now in PoE) and the minions in PoE2 is much better and cooler!

[@Raskoril]

I just want my Dancing Dervish in poe2.

[@user-js8lj7yo2l]

The moment I saw you can "Catch" a minion I was sold. 100% Guarantee first character is going to be Necro. Also love the self spawn Start Music "Gotta Catch 'Em All"

[@warriorfire8103]

This is single handedly the reason I've skipped last epoch. Looks good mind you but my excitement for poe is great!

[@warriorfire8103]

Won't be a Necro right away but the Witch can do that so well have plenty of practice!

[@XBullitt16X]

Po2, the end.

[@walendawalenda4769]

nah no poe1 is crap bad gamplay and bored

[@seanMJC]

Animate Guardian should retain gear after dying. With permanent minions being auto-summoned in PoE 2, it makes sense that an Animate Guardian would also be auto-summoned. To prevent 'abuses' by non-minion players all they would need to do to balance it effectively is make the Spirit reservation a good trade off, and make the auto-resummon timer long enough that it still makes you want to keep it alive during mapping. Its that easy.

[@ewave9643]

It looks soooooo good. I’m playing a golem necro in d4 and they’re good rn but man poe2 is just miles above

[@cyanogen7582]

I want to try a full spectre build.

[@XbattlepopeX]

I want to see how fast is endgame, if its this slow then its kind of sad.

[@InfoRanker]

POE1 = worst minion experience in any arpg POE2 = best minion experience in any arpg possibly?

[@o0A7mad0o]

Man i really can't wait more !!!!! 24 day to LOGIN

[@steamh4mmer264]

You cant make minions worse than in poe1. its not possible.

[@ceckoangelov7449]

seems like fps VR will be overwealming :)

[@suny1265]

Highly sceptical that POE 2 will have success because most people no matter how good it sounds don't have 3 K Hours to invest in a new Version. Needing to use 12 keys constantly is more then 4-6 in POE 1

[@Quernex]

You underestimate how people, who have fun at a game, are willing to spend time on it, even if they are not the best at it. And POE 2 looks like a lot of fun. Many things to discover. A new approach to the stale hack and slay formula. Also its a closed Early Access for people who are already invested and i think they will get as much feedback as they can, before the potential new players come in.

[@xue_ming]

I love playing minion but there is just to many thing i don't like to do like specter and the most horrible one is Animate Guardian its the worst minion and also why i never do end game content because of those 2 bad design.

[@lukebomber]

Surely I will try something new in PoE2 and not just play minions again.

[@ZerFayt]

I wonder how accessible "Undead Minions have x% reduced Reservation" stat will be.

[@osetor7457]

Probably not very? I would imagine a vast majority of things focus instead on just increasing you maximum spirit rather than making minions reserve less, as it's a much simpler solution that achieves essentially the same thing. If anything, I'd expect something like that to be something that appears on an ascendancy or unique item. But even then, the way they've described ascendancies would make more sense for effects to be universal between all minions rather than just undead ones (with their philosophy of not making any of them tied to a specific weapon type, and undead minions are kinda like a type of minions), and at that point just increase spirit instead.

[@xTobsecretx]

Nobody knows bc the game isn't out yet - there, I saved you all 7 minutes and 46 seconds!

[@zerenityzerene4410]

Well no, still a lot of starting information to get people's minds ready

[@johnnyboy13642]

How is the movement + casting done? Is it now WASD and aim with mouse/skill use with mouse? Because holding left click down to move and clicking right mouse button at the same time as pressure on the adjacent finger is known to lead to early onset carpel tunnel due to the muscle use. So it's gotta be WASD to move, right? Or it's gonna mess up some wrists down the road.

[@osetor7457]

WASD is in the game, but it works with click to move as well; click one spot once to initiate movement, then click elsewhere with your skills and your character keeps walking in the original direction you started moving in while they do their skills.

[@beforesunsetboxing6017]

The more hundreds or thousands of hours I put into an ARPG, the more QoL features matter. I don't see myself going back to PoE 1 once PoE 2 hits.

[@Sherudons]

I genuinely don't think it's going to interest me for long, poe's unique style of speed was interesting and with the new slow style? Still, I'll hold off until it's all released and on stable not EA.

[@Uphold-your-Rights]

You're also seeing the first couple of acts. It's going to be slower. We've been spoiled by heavy damage bloat in POE.

[@Dwarfurious]

Honestly i hope that the current gameplay of poe2 we see is how it stays and doesnt devolve into the poe1 gameplay shown here lol what a cluster

[@bjornt3612]

awwesome

[@Dilo22]

Currently not particularly excited for PoE2. It looks way too slow and keyboard piano. Them adding minion stats to the core game is very nice, though

You might be the only person alive not excited for poe2. You need to be studied.

6:55 can people finally get over the "datamined" shit. Nothing has been data mined yet. Dont refer to poe2db for datamining, their literally first sentence on the site is "This website is not a data mining site. This website collects all information from videos or interviews." Please. How many more yt videos finna be released from "datamined", which then are just the same shit 1:1 videos from the gameplay we have had 3 months ago already.
