the prisoner/minion interactions with life leeching hits

didn't see anything about this in the patch notes and thought i should mention it (could have missed it tbf)

really only noticed it during the prisoner boss fight in act 4, he has an ability where he does a circle proximity aoe in phase 2(?) where if he hits something he heals for a big portion of his hp. My build wasn't top tier or anything but it was enough to get by up to this point, as well as after it.
it seemed like the amount of things he hit would effect how much he healed for, and in order to actually beat him i had to dismiss every one of my minions -while fighting him- so he couldn't heal off them, substantially changing my playstyle and outgoing damage in the last half of the fight.

my feedback is just that i don't think he should be able to heal off minions since we can't control how minions move, so opening a menu and navigating it to disable minions feels rather clunky, and necessitating either having enough damage to outpace the heal/kill before he uses it, or otherwise not having minions also seems restrictive. I'd much rather a hard enrage if the idea is purely to need more damage so that it doesn't feel like specifically because i have minions i'm at a disadvantage.

Hello,

If someone see this and have difficulties to beat this boss, actually for a minion build, you'll have to disable them.
This is the only way if you don't have enough DPS.
I had hard time killing it with my minions because they restore the boss to full life again and again.
So i deactivated them and even if it's far longer, i just killed him with raging spirits wich don't restore its life.
Maybe you also can kill it with the ravenous swarm but i guess this skill can damage the boss only if you are too close to it.

They still haven’t fixed this. It’s about to make me quit the game. It’s such a MASSIVE oversight. How the HELL are the minions healing the boss. No other game with minions has a fk up this bad.

Agreed, I have just come across this with my totems with Ancestral Spirits. It is stupid design.
