SUMMONER STUFF
==========================================================================

-they don't want to make animate weapon good because It AFFEcTs The theME oF THe SKilL

-animate weapon is not going to be viable in blight at all, confirmed by Neon, monsters aren't gonna drop weapons

-if you're targeting an enemy when casting srs, that enemy now becomes the default target of the srs when it is summoned, it might help focus fire bosses etc.
the change has some overlap with deathmark, but it was made before they made the support, and it seems kinda good so it stays

-it feels kinda off that if you want to play a summoner you have to pick necro
as a solution to that, necro is still the best and you're totally gonna pick that but idk at least they mentioned it during the podcast

-they don't want to force players to use multiple minions, say you want to do skeletons, you should be able to just use skeletons
exception being the new golem, you're probably gonna use it on minion builds cause it buffs minions

-the reason necro is getting some not-summoner support with gem levels, so you can get higher level corpses for detonating, is that they don't want to make a 1-build ascendancy

-they're MAYBE removing desecrate cooldown

-VD is just better DD, tough shit, Neon couldn't really disagree

Good changes for specs overall IMO. Removing a lot of the hassle of where and when to re-summon them will make me much more likely to use them going forward. I hope they haven't moved the +1 Spectre from the tree but I guess we will have to wait and see.

I'm thinking I may well start as an elementalist with 8 golems using double clayshaper. Then have either solarguards or TV specs as backup to add clear / boss damage as required. May depend on pricing of helms as to which one I end up sticking with! I normally run fairly low tier maps anyway so having a lot of boss damage / tankiness may not really be needed for me this league. Especially if there is no "endgame boss" to face this league.

I'm liking the changes to necro quite a bit. Definitely feels well rounded without feeling like you have to be necro to play certain summons like zombies / skeletons / Spectres. May not get round to playing one this league if the elementalist works out. Going by GGG's usual cadence I expect it will be OP this league and then over-nerfed next!!! I'm happy to stick with my dumpster-tier Elementalist which can surely only get better in the future!

On the downside I guess this league will make level 4 empower's extremely expensive!! Last league you might have only wanted one of them for ED. Now you might want several for various minion summons :(

Some uniques have been changed to apply modifiers to global gem levels. This is mostly the case on caster weapons, but some specific minion items like Bones of Ullr have also received this treatment. Bones of Ullr now grants +1 to all Raise Zombie gems and all Raise Spectre gems, instead of affecting the maximum minion count, as the additional maximum spectres modifier was too much power from a single item. Now, raising the level of these minion gems to a high enough level will grant additional maximum minions, so these modifiers are still useful. All of the changes will be shown in the patch notes.

Minions

We've made a large number of additions and changes to Minions to improve build diversity and give players the option of having more control over their armies. You can read about some of these here.

Almost every system in the game that touches Minions has been reviewed and rebalanced or changed. Here are some of the more notable changes:

All minions have had their Accuracy increased. The result of this is that a level 20 Raise Zombie, Summoned Skeleton or Raging Spirit will have an 80% chance to hit a level 84 enemy, if you have no minion accuracy modifiers.

Golems have all been reviewed and adjusted, to make more varieties of golems have competitive levels of power. Chaos, Lightning and Stone Golems have been improved in various ways to make them more competitive with Flame and Ice Golems, as well as the new Carrion Golem. As an example, Chaos Golem has more Area of Effect on its Cascade, has 100% Physical Damage converted to Chaos, and its ongoing chaos storm now has "Spell Damage modifiers apply to this skill's damage over time", in addition to damage adjustments.

If you're targeting a monster when you cast Summon Raging Spirit, the Raging Spirit created will attempt to attack that enemy first. If it can't reach the enemy or the enemy dies, it returns to its standard behaviour. This is still overridden by the Deathmark Support.

The Minion and Totem Elemental Resistance Support has been changed to Elemental Army Support. It no longer applies to Totems, but lets supported minions apply a -10% Exposure based on their highest elemental damage dealt, and grants them More Elemental Damage. At higher levels it also grants more maximum elemental resistances.

Convocation's cooldown has been shortened, now that the Necromancer no longer has a notable that grants cooldown recovery to it. Its life recovery is now a percentage of maximum life, rather than a flat value, letting it scale to higher levels a little better.

Desecrate has had its cooldown removed, and now has a shorter cast time. It has a shorter duration and a lower corpse limit now, but this will make it a much more reliable tool for both Minion builds and builds that explode corpses.

Offerings are now more reliable and easier to manage. They now have a higher base duration, gain an additional second for each corpse consumed, consume half as many corpses, and they have an ongoing marker over the player rather than on the ground, so you'll always know when they expire.

The Dead Reckoning Unique Jewel can now turn up to 15 skeleton warriors into mages, up from 5 and is now limited to 1. Using multiple copies of the jewel was an unnecessary cost for the power provided, and this should make the build more accessible as well.

There have been many changes to crafting modifiers that affect minions, including:

A new Atlas-specific base type, the Convoking Wand, which has an implicit that lets it roll new Minion modifiers.

Essence of Fear has been changed to match other minion bonuses, which means it grants higher values of increased minion damage on weapons.

Incursion item Minion modifiers have been changed and improved.

A new Elemental Resistance and Minion Elemental Resistance crafted modifier has been added.

A new craftable Minion Movement Speed modifier has been added.
