Open a Path of Exile 2 best minion build Spirit template for comparing a current permanent minion setup against a stronger target version.

Reservation Priority
- 1Keep the permanent minions that define the build active before optional support effects.
- 2Use the defensive or recovery effect only if it improves real uptime for the minion package.
- 3Compare the next Spirit breakpoint against one extra minion, one aura, and one gear upgrade before spending currency.
- 4Save one planner link for the current playable setup and one for the target version.
Use this after the starter template
This template is for a minion build that already has enough Spirit to move beyond the smallest starter package. It adds a support effect to test whether the build should spend the next breakpoint on durability, recovery, or another minion.
If the setup is overreserved for your character, step back to the minion starter template first. The strongest build plan is the one with a playable current version, not only a perfect target version.
Build a current version and a target version
Open the template once and adjust it to your current Spirit total. Save that link as the version you can play today.
Then open it again and add the gear Spirit or permanent bonus you are considering. Save that as the target version so the next upgrade has a clear purpose.
Decide what the next breakpoint should buy
If damage uptime is already strong, the next breakpoint may be better spent on survivability or recovery. If the build is safe but slow, another minion or offensive effect may be the better test.
Use the planner to compare one change at a time. That makes the template useful for community feedback because other players can see the exact Spirit tradeoff.
0.5.0 live-patch check
Before using this template as a best-minion-build answer for live Return of the Ancients, confirm the official notes and then rebuild the current package in the planner. The template is useful because it separates a playable current version from a target version, not because it proves a final tier list.
If Wardbound Minions or live testing shows a different support, aura, or Spirit item is required, change that one breakpoint and keep the rest of the comparison intact.
Patch Review Note
Treat this as a planning preset. Minion, support, and reservation values can shift after patches, so confirm important breakpoints in game.
FAQ
Is this the best PoE2 minion build?
It is a best-minion-build planning template, not a fixed tier list. Use it to test whether the core minions, support effect, and next Spirit breakpoint fit your character.
When should I use this instead of the starter template?
Use the starter template for a conservative baseline. Use this template when you want to compare a stronger target setup against your current Spirit budget.
Should I copy the exact reservations?
No. Replace the active reservations with the minions, aura, or support package your build actually uses, then compare current and target versions.
