Problems with minions no longer spawning

I posted this on December 25th, but you guys were on holidays. Hope you enjoyed them! But the problem still persists and I still can't play the character so hoping for help, thanks!

"Was working fine earlier, fought the act 3 boss and started cruel, took a break. Came back and went back to do some ascendencies. Minions would no longer spawn and flamewall will no longer spawn SRS. I have SRS and arsonists. I changed no options or gear from when it was working earlier.

PoE 2
Lvl 48 Witch
Total: 201 spirit
SRS: 27 spirit
Arsonists: 37 spirit
1 SRS + 4 Arsonists with 26 leftover spirit.
All points allocated.
No other spirit reliant support or skill gems.
Proper weapon set.
Tried restarting game multiple times and computer once.
Verified file integrity on Steam.
Tried in multiple maps in cruel and standard.

There was a small 65kb patch that was downloaded when I came back to play. Not sure if that someone affected it. I have a text above my skills saying "73 spirit" whether I have the points allocated with 26 left, or all points refunded."
