Yeah well, massive nerf to the range of presence as well. And quality on sceptres no longer increase the spirit. Its like they hate minion builds.

Ofc, they hate minion builds. One of the few build types that can get to at least mapping without too much pain. After that they're quite demanding due to spirit requirements, but before that they are quite good.

I thought gearing for minion build was kinda annoying in PoE1, in PoE2 it's an absolutely nightmare.

Most of your gear slots must have either +minion lvls, +spirit or both.

And now your sceptre will also need + range of presence

I’ve been living under a rock, why do we need + range of presence? What does that do?

They reduced the range of presence to 4 metres from 6.

It means that the range of all effects with the name "Allies in your presence" are much shorter.

Edit* Like the effect "Allies in your presence deals x% increased damage" mod you can get on scepters.

Now you'll have to either stand much closer to your summons for them to get the dmg buff, or you need to go for the suffix that increases the range. But going for that suffix means that you can't get the attack speed or crit ones, which are really big dps increases.
