Weapon set swap and minion resurrect timer interaction.

Im playing RF pathfinder and actively use weapon swap to summon and explode minions assigned to 2nd weapon set only. I noticed that actual minion respawn time is 5 seconds, they get spawned on weapon set swap even if minion respawn timer is still on (i believe default respawn time is 10 sec).
However, minion respawn timer works correctly if weapon set is not involved.
Tested -25% minion respawn time passive, it modifies the value of respawn timer, but minions still get spawn on weapon set swap after 5 seconds.

I found the cause of this behavior, as I'm using Corpsewade to trigger decompose on minions with Sacrifice, on weapon set swap, if any minions from slotted gems are still alive they'll be "saved" in the minion count by the buffs, if I have 3 Skeletal Brutes and I swap weapon sets it will still say I have 3 Brutes, do it again, now I have 6, then 9 and so on. Now, whenever I consume a minion it will remove it from the count, but if I weapon swap again back to my minion set, even if my revive timer is active it will instead draw from the reserve minions, while still adding the same number of minions to the count. Thus allowing for continuous spawning of minions, bypassing the revive timer.
