In Path of Exile 2, a player has control over 46 minions permanently. For this to work, he has to play the game on the lowest settings.
Who is it about? On Reddit, the player VEGLIGI1 asked for help from the community. He plays a minion build in Path of Exile 2 and has permanently gathered a following of 46 undead.
For this, the gamer uses 914 will and several passive skills to make the build possible. However, the player allegedly saw somewhere that minion armies with 60 sniper skeletons are also possible with 900 willpower. He couldn’t explain it himself and asked on Reddit.
While one half of the community provides him with advice, the other side of the player base sees technical limits approaching the gamer.

Low Settings and Technical Limits
What difficulties are there? The more characters are displayed on the screen, the worse the game’s performance becomes. The player is seemingly already playing Path of Exile 2 on low settings. Here you can see what the game looks like for him:
The minion army doesn’t look particularly pretty, but the gained performance that comes from the settings is probably just what the player needs to be able to play Path of Exile 2. The other gamers already find it remarkable that this is even possible.
What do the players say about the technical limits? The community on Reddit does not understand how the game can still run smoothly for the questioner. The user “Ok_Jelly_6577” writes on Reddit: “Minion builds destroy my FPS, and I can’t even imagine how it would be to play with you in dense Breach maps.”
The user “iMissEdgeTransit” also finds the number of minions remarkable and writes on Reddit: “Your PC must be crazy.”
The user “Oxln” doubts that the player’s PC is the problem. On Reddit he writes: “I don’t even think it’s your PC; the server can’t handle it. If you look at the network lag graph, you’ll see what I mean.”
Is he getting help for his actual question? Yes, the community is also trying to help VEGLIGI1 with his minion build. They suggest two methods to get even more minions.
- He should get the shoes that reduce the reservation costs of the skill
- He should choose a passive skill located at the top left of the skill tree
However, the questioner had already integrated both things into his build. Other users suggested single methods to improve the build, but it is unknown whether the minion master had success with them.
