Doing t15 maps without pushing a single button besides WASD w/ minions

Was messing around in a white t13 testing out minions to see if anything besides arsonist was worth using. Was testing brute ignite spread stuff, and then I just summoned a single arsonist and was comparing him to that and I noticed that I could pretty much clear the entire map if i wanted to with that 1 minion. Got the idea to try to clear a rare t15 map, nothing crazy just temp chains, and added cold damage.

Summoned all my arsonists and just walked behind them using wasd to dodge things. Never used a flask, never dodge rolled, never used a single ability, and I was able to clear, probably took 2x as long to clear the map but it was pretty funny.

Character is pretty tanky, 50% block, 76% cold and lightning res, 84% fire res, 64% chaos res, altered flesh, 20% reduction from infernal hound. 2.4k life, 1.5k ES, 150 life per second regen, 444 spirit for a total of 16 arsonist. 6L with atk speed, added fire, 3 proj, increased AoE, and feeding frenzy. +6 to minion gem levels from gear.

Maps actually felt safer playing this way, I don't think I ever got chunked into my life pool even once. Just walked behind my minions and avoided pools/projects by moving out of the way. I get it is a meme because you are taking 2x longer to clear but I just thought it was hilarious this is even possible.

So i can tell you right now arsonist will get nerfed sooner or later to be more in line with other minions. Better be prepaired.

I'm bored to tears already, If they get nerfed and other minions are left to rot I'll probably try ignite flame blast, was that before but without gear its extremely rough to sit and cast for 1.5 seconds every pack.

All I need to do to switch is buy a wand and respec my tree really, not sure how fun it would be to play with a staff, 50% block have saved me so many times I cant even count and thats with a minion wall, with just the dog I'm not sure how you would be surviving.

Real shame that demon form is terrible, disabling weapons for that tradeoff is just terrible for 4 ascendency points. It's almost worse then the 5ex staff I was using at level 60 in early maps when I was still playing ignite. Some of the staffs I see now for like 30ex blow it out of the water, dont cost 4 asc points, and don't degen your health.

Good idea not posting anything as being op dude.

Half the people I interact with on the market trading come into my hideout and are infernalists and have arsonists summoned the other half are deadeyes. I'm pretty sure they are well aware, some streamers like kripp playing it as well.

I was excited when I saw skeletons in the previews, looked like you could build an army that synergized and did different things like with brutes and clerics, combing different mages etc. but nope its just put every last point of spirit into arsonists, its not even worth bringing a single cleric if it stops you from bringing another arsonist.
