Minions & Weapon Swap: skill order matters

Player objective: on weapon swap, switch from holding a sceptre to not holding a sceptre. The sceptre holding weapon set is to deploy 7 skeleton archers, the non-sceptre weapon set is to deploy 1 spectre and 2 skeleton archers.

This works only when the Spectre skill gem is socketed above the Archer skill gem. If the Spectre is socketed below, an inadequate number of skeleton archers spawn on weapon swap until the Archer gem is re-socketed (even if to the same position). An unintuitive behaviour for non-technical users.


Even when it's just skeleton archers, sometimes the skill gem needs to be re-socketed to get the correct number of archers to spawn on swapping to the sceptre holding weapon set.
