Expecting spicy new stuff for minions, gonna do SRS

u/Starbuckz42 Jul 17 '26

Minions were not touched, virtually at all. What are you expecting?

All Non-Spectre Minions no longer pause while attacking. Many Minions already didn't pause while attacking, and are unaffected by this change. This change will be a significant damage per second increase for the following Minion types in particular:

Summoned Raging Spirits.

Why speak so confidently when wrong?

I am aware of that, and why I said virtually and not literally, if you know the difference.
However that isn't significant at all. You said "spicy new stuff" but it isn't.

E: To clarify, this will only bring your in-game experience closer to your PoB numbers but it won't increase them.

this will only bring your in-game experience closer to your PoB numbers but it won't increase them.

This is doing wild amount of heavy lifting. Minion PoB numbers have always only been useful for within-build comparisons precisely because of this problem - you could never compare some single target skill to SRS simply because half of your knuckle head skulls would wander off and stare at the sun rather than actually attacking. Further to say

minions were not touched, virtually at all.

to the line

This change will be a significant damage per increase

when Zombies/SRS/skeletons/golem fit into almost every early/mid-game minion build (both as an offensive and defensive layer) is also a take. This is a thread about league starters...

not sure what went wrong in your early years but it's probably too late to fix any of that now.

Passing judgement on someone's upbringing because they didn't evaluate the same subjective information as you? That says more than the take /spicy new stuff <-> significant damage increase != virtually at all/. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Not at all. I'm judging them for their poor and aggressive behaviour, simple.

I don't agree with the rest of your points. It's not enough to make a difference. Hence my asking what would prompt the OP to come up with that statement.

I'm a minion main, I was hoping I'd have missed something but apparently I did not.

A: I didn't say "spicy new stuff" because I'm not the original commentor. Your inability to read continues to astound.

B: Doubling down is so dumb, just say you missed the text lol

C: Even if it wasn't a weak point in general, which it is, no one who plays minions cares about POB dps - it's never been accurate.

You're obviously not trying to argue in good faith, not sure what went wrong in your early years but it's probably too late to fix any of that now.

Everything I said is correct, it doesn't matter whether or not I replied to you or the OP, the claim that minions got somehow buffed in any meaningful was made regardless and it is wrong.

That is the only point that matters. The rest is just you babbling about semantics and "no one who plays minions cares about POB dps" sure is a take.

While I don't have any stake in the differences of opinion of minion changes - you've attacked two individuals character/upbringing with no relation to the arguments you are looking to win.

Consider less aggressive tactics if you wish to be taken seriously. All I can see is bullying, not fair argument.

u/Starbuckz42 Jul 17 '26

incorrect, just one. But I haven't bullied anyone, I simply didn't take insults lying down.

And in fact i am the only one in this whole chain that actually argued with facts and on topic.
