whitedemon4915: Yeah this is surely gonna be hotfixed real quick

fandros199: Best fix ever get rid of soul eater damage reduction all together.

Emuluko: whyy did you not wait for the weekend to post this lol.

Feanturo: Hotfix: Minions ar no longer considered monsters for souleater.

theo008: Of course, it had to be Jungroan.

ArawnOfAnnwn: Enjoy it while it lasts guys. Don't even bother hoping this won't get hotfixed. It WILL get hotfixed. You've been warned.

strandwolf796: if GGG make soul eater be 1% dr per stack on monsters, minion builds will have their first ever positive impact in poe

ChillInfinitely: AAANNNNDDDDDDD ITTSSS GOOONNEEEEE

mephistoss238: The amount of crazy tech this patch is insane.

Simon-bj9zj: I'm very disappointed that the showcase wasn't in Delve

KALClFER: Very cool, max dmg reduction on minions is 90% and it’s fixed.

gamefuler: Okay great 7 million regen, now my eHP will surely be enough to face tank big scary titanic goat man in blight

undead_legion: GGs, you just beat me to publishing the tech :). I was just finalizing the script for my build guide using this tech lol

I've been running this since day 3 of the league, its even more OP than it looks on paper, it enables a lot of things. I've been using this tech to sustain a permanent Vaal Blade Vortex with both Vaal Sacrifice and Vaal Temptation support, and an immortal AG with Doriyani's Prototype to set enemy res to -100.

ian2714: Uh I mean having to wait 50 seconds per map to just build up souls is gonna get old fast.

grev.: maybe this will be the final push to remove damage reduction from minion soul eater

Turtle.69: This has already been patched. It now caps at 90%.

mert_biri7765: Poe should give you a medal.

reinw2328: they should really just change the 2% less damage to 1%, literally everyone would like that and it would stop these kinds of edge cases

skyler1469: necromancer is summoned again

and prices shall rise, prices shall RISEEEEEEE

dariidar: This is insane for Vaal Temptation / Hateforge builds

nothingface5919: Recovery is probibly one of the most broken layers of defense in the current league, being able to functionally have "Infinite Recovery" for the cost of a small ramp time at the start of the map and one 4 link is absurd. The fact that you dont even need the ring to stay equipped means that for high end content like max juiced maps this is a no brainier... especially once all the minions and buffs can be transferred between zones. This should be patched ASAP before folks start basing their entire builds around this setup.

jisuo: Seemed like perfect deep delve tech

TheMCmace: animated guardian of smiting would go hard with it

mateusznaparty2984: patched to cap reduction at 90% :)

matthewrusso4875: Here comes the hotfix!

gazorgan: The price spikes on 5 gauntles since the article posing has been epic......they were 120 C when you posted lololol

gorlax: look at newest patch notes its max 90% damage reduction for minions now
