Minion Damage?
|
I have the same question for over 10 years now. How much damage does a specific minion do?
In the skill stats doesn't say, naked or buffed, and we've been asking this FOR YEARS to be IN-GAME, not in 3rd party programs. Don't know which minion hits harder (base damage, same level, without passives). And now that I'm trying out the Reaper, as it's just one minion, I ASSUME that hits harder than several of others, but does it? How much? Which hits harder, Zombie or Skeleton? Golem is also just one, is it comparable to the Reaper? comparable to three zombies? To five? We need minion stats asap, specially in PoE2 if you want to make a better game...

The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

Not yet? No official ingame minion stats?
Maybe 11 years is the lucky number :) |

" It's just so WEIRD that PoB can provide this information....but the game cannot? Presumably the game has access to the same information PoB does right? |
|
" Oh, the information is there for sure, they calculate it from somewhere, but can't understand how 11 years asking for ingame minion stats like EVERY OTHER SKILL HAS is too much to ask to calculate which summons I want to use in which builds, which one hits harder, or faster, or has more defenses... I don't want to assume by experience and I shouldn't have to use 3rd party calculators, I want the official info in the game like every other skill has, is that simple... |

" Every other skill doesnt have this either. Minions may not have a number in the UI but the number in the UI for every other skill isnt even correct either. Mash the clean
|
|
" Is that really a necessary comment to make? The point remains perfectly valid. Instead, maybe you could have just added the other skills with crappy UI numbers, like DoT and the like. Personally, beyond anything else in this game that's either unpolished or worthy of complaint, this lack of in-game information on minions is absurd. I can't even begin to understand why GGG doesn't want us knowing minion stats in the game....except that they wish minions didn't exist at all. |
|
" Yup sure was. Read their response and what I actually said as it seems you missed .... what both actually said. " thats pretty funny of an opinion to have, when one of the strongest builds this league, is a minion build. Hope this helps! Mash the clean

" If not stats then at least a DPS dummy with some damage taken feedback we'd be able to ballpark it a lot easier. +1 in general, It's been a long ride and im kind of surprised we never got this one. Innocence forgives you Last edited by SilentSymphony#3358 on Sep 23, 2024, 11:08:23 PM

" Literally pick a boss, benchmark your build/s against that boss. I chose Writhing Invitation, cheap, guy just stands there. If you can one phase Writhing Invitation, then you've got enough dps to test the next level up, eater. If you can one phase Screaming Invitation, then you've got enough dps to test the next level up, uber eater. That way you're not reliant on POBs numbers, which can often be incomplete or misleading. I have made an entire channel dedicated to benchmarking my attempts at builds. https://www.youtube.com/@jaybee9611/videos I've had POB tell me a build did 20m dps, but I fought writhing invitation and definitely was like 1m dps. |
