Minion Witch Command Framework

A PoE2 minion planning framework that separates minion damage, Spirit and reservation pressure, command skills, personal survival, and boss uptime instead of presenting one frozen gear list.

PRIMARY SKILLPersistent and temporary minions
DAMAGE PLAN

Scale the chosen minion family, maintain uptime, and use command or temporary tools at the moments they add focused value.

DEFENCE PLAN

Use minions to create space, but build personal resistance, life or energy shield, recovery, and movement. Enemy mechanics can still reach the player.

SKILLS

What the setup is trying to do

Persistent core

Choose a manageable persistent-minion core and account for its Spirit or reservation pressure before adding every available companion.

Command and temporary damage

Use command or temporary-minion tools with a specific purpose such as focused damage, control, or coverage.

Player utility

Reserve room for movement, defence, and debuff tools; the character is not merely a spectator.

EQUIPMENT

Gear priorities, not shopping commands

Minion modifiers

Prioritise modifiers that support the chosen minion package rather than assuming every minion stat benefits every setup equally.

Spirit and reservation

Treat capacity as a budget. Adding one minion can force the removal of another skill or utility.

Personal defence

Keep the Witch's own life, energy shield, resistances, and recovery appropriate to the content.

PROGRESSION

Build it in stages

01
Choose a small functioning core

Start with minions that fit available Spirit and leave room for personal utility.

02
Fix player survival

Bring personal defences up before spending every upgrade on minion damage.

03
Add command depth

Introduce active minion tools once the basic army remains reliable.

04
Optimise capacity

Revisit Spirit, reservations, and support capacity as better equipment becomes available.
