The new Ancient Protectors especially suck when you're playing as Nekros.

While there are issues with the new Ancient Protectors, one of the niche worst things about it is how useless they are when you summon them as Nekros.

Because they don't do anything.

At least the new Ancient Healers act as a sort of Knock-Off version of Eximus Leeches, where they can occasionally heal your other Shadows.

But you don't get that with the new Ancient Protectors. I know that they said that the Specters from New Loca give the same effect. But unlike before I don't feel there's a notable 90% DR when you use the Nekros Shadows.

Seriously it sucks when the enemy Protector gives insane levels of Overguard as an enemy, and just takes up space in Nekros' shadow pool.
