Did anyone make the experience that the combination of Item Rarity+Item Quantity ( in my case combined with Arc) wont drop ANY items?

I spam Arc to make 100%sure Arc gets the killing blow, but only 1 out of 15 monsters drops an item.
I experienced that without this combination Items drop more frequently.

Not sure if this is something personal and I may be crazy, but that is how it appears.

I have the same feeling. I'm sure I get significant less items with a my arc witch, then my ranger. So many champions and rare monsters just doesn't drop anything.

Could there be a problem with shocked status, eg. the dmg from arc alone is not enough to kill the mob, but it has 3x shocked so the dmg is increased, the mob dies, but rarity and quantity increases are not calculated because the initial dmg was not high enough to kill the mob?

Another possibility could be the chain mechanic, does the rarity/quantity bonus work when a mob dies as the last one in a chain line?

That is a good question. I have felt that aswell, killing a rare and nothing is dropping and you are going "wt.?"

I'm a summoner with arc, so I can't really tell who's last hitting but it have happend many times that a rare is not dropping anything at all. Seems strange according to me.

If this support gem is connected to a minion skill, such as the zombie, will all mobs killed by said zombie have higher rarity.

Yes.

You can tell if a support gem is affecting an active skill because it will add a small letter to the skill's icon in the skill bar.

does the IIQ/IIR still apply if the mobs die from the ignite effect from burning arrow?

IIQ/IIR upports cannot currently apply to any degen/damage-over-time effect, only to things killed by being hit by the skill for damage. We hope to improve this in future.

Minion instability does assign the kills to the minions. It just doesn't deal actual damage.

Does this mean that those kills aren't applied to the player?

No.

Your minion's kills are asigned to you, and thus use your IIQ/IIR. This is why you still get flask charges and experience from their kills as well.

My guess is that your passives affect you only unless specifically mentioning minions.

That is a correct guess. Well done.
You have your passives, your minions don't. The few passives which specifically affect your minions are the only ones which do so.

So, just to verify. Does this means that to maximise damage of MI, you can boost fire damage and spell AOE?

No. For one, spell damage has no effect because it's not a spell.
For two, you need your minions you have stats to increase the damage, not you. You can stack fire damage increases until you're blue in the face and you'll deal lots of fire damage, but you minions won't.

If you can stack fire damage bonuses on your minions, that will increase the damage they deal when they explode.
