Why no Convocation?

Guys, I'm having a lot of fun with PoE2 so far.

But, I am getting really frustrated with minions being unable to path well enough to keep up with me in maps (30% movement speed...) and DYING when I move a half screen away from them. Now I've hit a new pack of enemies and have to dodge around for several seconds before they all resummon to start doing damage.

In PoE1 we had Convocation to teleport the minions to our location. Why not in PoE2? Especially considering they for some reason just instantly die when they go offscreen with no ability to manually resummon..



P.S. Not wanting to beat a dead horse here, but I HATE HATE HATE sanctum and ultimatum. Literally my two least favorite mechanics in PoE1 ever.. So I am a real sad panda with this ascendancy stuff. Being nearly level 80 and spending an hour doing "merc lab" only to die to something silly in room 6 of floor 3 really has me wanting to hurl myself off a bridge.

Love you guys! This game is awesome and I have no doubt it will fully surpass PoE1 in due time.

+1 for convocation
