Druid/Shaman “Summoner” having some serious issues with spirit allocation

Hello everyone 👋

I’ve been mostly playing my new Druid/Shaman since league start and, up until just recently, I’ve never had any problems

But find myself doing endgame maps and I have come across something very strange…

My Spirit total is “wrong”

Allow me to elaborate: in weapon slot 1 it tells me I have 485 spirit to play - great, decent amount to allocate so far at lvl 76

The issues come in when I am allocating spirit to cover various summons and then, for some reason, when briefly transforming into a wolf for Pounce, or sometimes just changing maps or transitioning between zones, I will suddenly LOSE ACCESS to certain summons

“Oh, you briefly became a dog for 3 seconds, cool, your Spectre is gone and won’t re-summon”

“Haha, I almost died in that last fight because I couldn’t do my combo involving Raging Spirits, Skeleton Archers, and command skills - why? Because suddenly your Raging Spirits won’t summon anymore, silly!”

And it feels mostly random about when it happens, it’s like no spirit total is not my actual total!

Sometimes I can get it to work again by changing zones, by removing and re-adding gems, by shifting back and forth between wolf form and human form a bunch of times, but other times I have to reload the whole goddamned game again

Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, different minion counts on weapon swaps are not working great.

Can’t say much unless we have some info about your weapon sets and even would wanna know if you’ve allocated the node which lets you use sceptre with talisman.

Based on your troubleshooting notes, it does sound like it's just buggy. But to more confidently rule out user error like the other current comments are implying, it would help for you to go to the site poe.ninja and enable import of your characters, since it could plausibly be due to something like one of your skills bound to weapon set 2 not having enough spirit.

Maybe allocate the passive to equip a Sceptre + talisman so you don't have to weapon swap. Although, I think your total spirit will be like 50% less

When you swap weapon sets, you're using a talisman instead of a sceptre. That means your max spirit is lower, and those minions will go away.

(Lvl 99 Shaman) Do you need the minions from “pounce?” I have two suggestions for skill “pounce”:

Put a Marking spell (I.e. freezing mark) and the Hunter’s Mark will go away. Thus, no summons and no minions. Hindering possible minion builds a tad.
Put Bratus Brain Lineage Gem on “Pounce.” The lads will never go away whenever you switch to human form, go to other maps, and follow you to your hideout. They’re just there to cheer you on.

can you share a pob?

Yeah as others said if you have 2 weapon sets with Talisman on 1 and a staff or scepter on the other, you're losing extra spirit when swapping.
