Just watching many other classes clear when looking for some last epoch vid, and it’s just ruin my playthrouth, cause minions clear just sucks in comparation to casters or selfattackers.
Play btw wolf phys sweaper
at least it would be good if i was fast character myself like wolf or BEAST!, but i’m slow like turtle and even haste and 20% ms speed doesn’t help. Not fun at all

Beastmaster has some good companions that can clear high corruption and even kill Aby. Snapshotted crows also killed Uby this season.
In any case, good news for you: snapshotting is going away and minions in general are getting a boost. Especially necro minions.
I don’t care about damage, it’s good for solo targets when i sweep with spirit wolves but wolves itself can’t even kill fast small opponents. I’m need fair to others classes clear, not most slow within my character. Hope on boost, hero speed boost too.
And what is snapshotting?
Snapshotting is equipping an alternative set of gear that has a bunch of minion stats, summoning the minion, then switching to another set of gear that is defensive. Until the minion dies, it will keep the stats.
It’s an unintended mechanic and it will be removed in Season 3 (in 8 days).
There will also be a boost to minions in general, especially minion zoo builds (running lots of them, rather than just 1 big one).

Will be interesting to see how they change the minions, atm they’re a bit underpar single target wise and clear isnt amazing. I’ve seen a 8 minute Uber clear with sabretooth but the dude was doing most of the dmg himself not the pet.
I think comparing the aoe clear of beastmaster with a bear/sabre/raptor to say abom it’s pretty mud, abom’s swipe is much larger. Raptor can hit a mob for 10 million at 1000c on a kill frenzy but then you fight normal abby and he hits him for 40-100k varied hits with the exact same build again compare to abom (with NO snapshot) who drops him like a fly. The beast master minions have a ton less life too.
Crows with snapshot, bees and crazy proc’s on sword was such a shit build to play lol I did not enjoy it for maps or uber just not smooth and with the snap shot gone personal opinion you will not see crows kill uber this season 
I’m still actively playing this season, have been for many hours per day - have done pretty much every build for sent, rogue and primalist + necro so have first hand experience. I also have a stash full of double, trip and some quad exalts + high lp items so ive done these with very high end gear that you wouldnt get early in the season. I’ve done snapshots and I’ve done without and yeah, really these primalist minions are gonna need a big buff or it’ll remain one of the least played classes in the game this season, again.

Yep, clear so bad that i can’t properly swipe pack cause fat rare mob has 2x size of my maxed from tree range of swipe, and he even pushes me back. It’s pretty disgusting when i see just how casters nonstop fire projectiles which clear ~90% of screen from acts to endgame and literally has flying mspeed, and i even on getting to 100 corrupt didn’t notice some progression, only very big gap between wolves damage themselves and my swipe, which only doing most of damage.
Absurdly bad balance of classes

You might enjoy something more like the video I have linked at the bottom, this guy LOVES primalist and does most of the summon builds 
It’s melee so the clear isnt giant, but its pretty decent, very tanky and with speed on boots / rampage you can run around pretty quickly. I think over all the melee aspect of primalist is generally the smallest of the AOE which is some what unfair when compared to say erasing strike which is also considered melee but basically clears 2/3rds of the room or warpath the whole room also melee both skills doing TONS more dmg than anything melee the primalist has, tons more dmg than say vengeance which has the worlds smallest AOE. There is definitely a huge balance issue with skills being on level and sadly I dont think they’ll ever change it
