Wow, I really like the idea behind the Heartbreaker dagger. The name, the description. Very... fitting :) Is it one of the Diamond Uniques and if so to whom do we owe the pleasure? ;)

A few pages back Charan said that it is Metronomy's.

If you'll read a few pages back, you'll see that Charan said Metronomy's responsible for this one

The heartbreaker sounds like a neat idea, but I just feel like Divinarius just completely outclasses it... Feels like it'd have been better with some other unique perk attached.

if you were defensive, it wouldn't be outclassed. then again... cold spells...

Minions never benefit from your gear unless explicitly mentioned otherwise. Very unlikely that your Minions will get Culling Strike with the Heartbreaker :) (insert joke about breaking your heart here)

I would say that it depends on whether or not your skeletons do spell damage. From what I know, summon skeletons is a spell, but it deals no spell damage, the skeletons you summon do weapon damage (which is why they are affected by auras like wrath, while spells are not). However if you raised a spectre that used a spell (like the caster skeletons) I would consider that spell damage.

if u add increased rarity to dominating blow, the attack and as well the minions themself benefit from that.
culling strike is added to all spells.

raising zombies and spectres, as well as summoning skeletons are spells, what means there is a chance of them having culling strike with the heartbreaker dagger imho.

would be nice if someone could try it out, or convince me that minion bonuses are managed in a completely different way, if my army gets culling strike with this dagger it would make it an interesting weapon for my summoner :)

you shouldnt forget that culling strike makes enemies have 10% less life, kind of

it also has energy shield, + cd of it, only one other sword gives es (bonus)

and its lv50, divinarius 66 :p

The Minions look at their own 'gear' when attacking/casting Spells, which includes the benefits granted by the Skill used to create them. It does not include your dagger.

when you exchange your word Skill with the word Spell you might understand why i am asking. support gems grant their support also to spells linked to them.
for me minions, like projectiles, are the result of a cast.
might have to do with the excessive use of an exploding-skeleton-throwing-totem tho ;)

nevertheless, i didnt notice the official statement before, denying the culling minion ability for this dagger.

thanks for showing me that one :) and of course thanks mark for the response :)

Maybe this is enough evidence that the alternate artwork is easily accessed and can be viewed by anyone. The only thing special about the items is the artwork, not the mods and like I said, you can easily access the artwork so there is no need to post them here.
