Necromantic Aegis and Corruption

Skill are always granted to you character unless it would specifically say: Minions have...
Also passive points you can get for shields dont affect minions.

Necromantic Aegis could handle this "buff" IMO.

Absolutely out of the question. Raw power and technical difficulties aside (because some skills require special animation), imagine the performance hit if each of your 20-30 minions used gpu-intensive skills like ground slam or arctic breath, hell, even if all of them turned on auras at once.

How about CoC then... The currently available spells for ALL minions through shields, are:
- Lvl 20 Bear trap (Jaws of Agony)
- Lvl 16 Discipline (Vaal orb)
- Lvl 16 Determination (Vaal orb)
- Lvl 16 Grace (Vaal orb)
These are the ONLY skills, that ALL minions could use. Now there are some more that are only available to the Animated Guardian/Weapon, all of which are through Vaal orbs:
- Lvl 10 Vulnerability (1h/2h Axe)
- Lvl 7 Wrath (Helmet)
- Lvl 11 Hatred (Helmet)
- Lvl 15 Anger (Helmet)
- Lvl 15 Purity of Lightning (Body Armour)
- Lvl 15 Purity of Ice (Body Armour)
- Lvl 15 Purity of Fire (Body Armour)
- Lvl 10 Assassin's Mark (Gloves)
- Lvl 14 Temporal Chains (Boots)
- Lvl 14 Haste (Boots)
Running potentially 5 more auras and 2 autocurses is broken, I admit that. But hey, making a NON SRS summoner, and investing that much money in it is already broken.

It's chump change, and it wouldn't be limited to classic summoners, anyone could do it. Also, it would probably be tricky to implement, if item-granted skills internally work like an extra socket that means gems in the item will apply to summons too, not just item-granted skills and the whole thing would have to be rewritten.

Minions can't use Mjolner(passive)? That's sad. I hope they change that one day.

After all, I would just like to see more possibilities in minion based builds. It's not bad as it is now, but maybe some revamps/new skills... not too much.
