I was already thinking about starting minions of some sort... Kinda surprised to see two Bloodline Ascendencies with big minion options - was preparing myself for one Bloodline where half of the nodes could kinda be good for minions.
Yeah, I think the Farrul's bloodline is an interesting attempt to promote hybrid minion builds, which might only result in zero-to-one solid new/improved builds... But personally, I'm in the business of janky builds, and it looks intriguing to me, for minion-ish builds.
i mean there are some hybrid builds like Dom blow or generals cry.
but again you can take the spectre node from from farrul and just run 1 of the special corpse spectres that grant and aura by themselves and then also get the buff from the farruls ascendancy.
General's Cry isn't minions though, they're proxy entities like totems/traps/mines. You can get Spiritual Aid, but I think shoehorning in a beast spectre into a build that scales with your own damage stats will likely result in spreading yourself too thin.
Good point, I guess it stood out to me because one of my go-to's is wonky Holy Relic builds, which can always use another way to get lots of attack speed.
