Newb player, how do I scale my sorc minion build further?

What is the next steps to improve my build.
I have 3-4 divs currently.

Please be aware that I want to play "my" build and not just copy something from someone else. No "just copy build X from Y" replies please.

It's minion, fire based.

Can I only take minion nodes or do fire nodes also work on my minions with the fire tag?

Also, what is my target in maps? Right now I am just going to the towers and do them, but I actually have no idea what I should do.

in terms of priority so you get an idea:

- minion stuff is all you care about
- you can easily grab more passives by optimizing your pathing on the tree
- Always +X minion level on gear before anything else, it's massive damage
---> 300 spirit can easily do all content
---> if spirit gets tight, you can also swap the gigantic passive for the support gem in order to only apply it to specific minions
---> I wouldn't pay for any gear, just identify / gamble
---> The focus is garbage, get a big shield or a focus with +1 minion levels
---> Your focus, belt & armor are garbage, get ES, ES and more ES, more is betterer (also remember spirit and + minion levels)
- Muster & feeding frenzy are massive damage dont ignore them
---> i.e. muster on varashta can easily give you 80% MORE damage
- Since you seem do be doing doing elemental damage:
---> the exposure nodes near the minion nodes are extremely powerful
---> check out infernal legion for big fire damage (you could put that on the warriors for example)
- frost mages should use faster casting
- clerics to keep your minions alive
- storm mages to apply shock for another damage multiplier?
- add a bunch of minion life & resist nodes (chaos res is kinda mandatory)
- To apply exposure definitely check out frost bomb it just shreds resistances
- Your spectre is bad
---> compare to wolves: cost a fraction of it, do more damage while moving faster

- There are also a bunch of curse nodes near the minion & exposure ones
---> I haven't tried whether they are worth it

congrats you now should have the same basic gear & passive tree as any box standard minion starter. That is your baseline and you want to do better / more QOL.
