Wasn't going to post this on the reddit, but I see a lot of people asking about Minion builds so I figured I'd throw my first fully produced offering into the ring.

Very budget friendly build, and feels significantly more "active" than most minion builds (practically a melee build).

Build has been tested recently in a SSF fresh start environment (livestreamed and archived on the youtube channel for anyone who cares). 0 to Maps in 6 hours, very comfortable. Unoptimized but higher level clears included in the video.

High defenses (Determination, Molten Shell, etc), High Elemental Resistance (81% Max Res from tree alone), Pantheon + skill tree used to achieve Chill, Shock, and Freeze Immunity.

High gear flexibility. Main weapon is pretty restrictive, but easy to craft with easily made budget options on the way.

Explanation on how to get to level 28 included in video; build starts using Dominating Blow as soon as you acquire it.
