Minion build

Lots of YouTubers I see are going infernalist for Minion build, I personally think blood mage is better.

Infernalist only has the dog that's good, the 2nd ascendancy you can't click flesh cause by a3 you not gonna have much chaos resist it's worse than not clicking any nodes. All the other nodes are self damaging which no good for Minion build, reserving life for more spirit is also hard to scale cause you need to scale both es plus life and chaos does double damage to ES in poe 2, with altered flesh you be taking a lots of chaos damage and in Poe 2 we need to think about defense as maps and bosses only has 1 try.

Blood mage on the other hand the first ascendancy down side isn't much for Minion build, you only need to cast level 1 firewall for SRS and just need around 15 life Regen on gear to cover the cost....then afterwards it's all benefits nodes, plus when you get to end game you can respec into caster, the Minion SRS can get you through campaign smoothly.

infernalist really has only 1 good node on the tree compare to blood mage, thoughts?
