I read through all the pages of this thread and didn't see what I'm curious about. The gem says the following:

"

You and nearby allies add 20% of your physical damage as cold damage.

So my question relates more to Hatred and its interaction with Minions. I had always assumed Hatred was going based off the damage Minions did, but after reading the actual skill, are minions getting extra Cold damage depending on my weapon?

they get the benefit of the aura, which is to add 20% of whatever physical damage they deal as cold damage.
"Your" is used in the plural here, not the singular.

so it seems the bonus cold dmg of Hatred is based on the physical dmg of the minions, not the physical dmg of the summoner after all

So after testing multi strike gem with minions its pretty good.

Zombies attack 3 times in rapid succession making auras like wrath and anger quite good. Overall dps seems to be going up.

Spectre with multi strike is interesting

cinder elementals rolls 3 times (very good spectre imo, spreads that aoe fire, and they are naturally tanky)

flicker strike, strikes 3 times

leap slam, slams 3 times

charge, not sure doesn't look like multi strike is affecting these spectres

other notable melee spectres with multi strike are the bears that deal chaos damage and the giant statues

thx for the feedback again mattc

i added it to the zombies so far , will update the other spectres when i hit maps again :)

you folks who are running flame banners/carrion queens with GMP or LMP, do you level them? or keep their level low so as not to require excessive dex

Since most summoners don't have easy access to dexterity, its probably better to not fully level them until you are able to support that dexterity requirement. You can always just get a spare gem if you did level it too high, although in the case of GMP and a lesser extent LMP, they can be expensive if you don't get lucky.

I haven't personally had this problem as I can't get a 6L to save my life, and my 5L is raise/dmg/iir/iiq/(blue) which I almost always use faster cast flame sentinels. But I ran into that same problem with Haste when I was running it, I leveled it too high then couldn't use it when I swapped a piece of gear. Thankfully I had like 6 extra copies banked, but like I said I'm not running haste currently until I hit the last 2 mana reserve nodes.

hello to all ,

i wanted to ask why nobody is using the "increased crit" supp gem (inclusing me)
and if anybody have tested it?

at a player it gives the crit chance to the "spells" crit chance
how does it work at spectre
example : i got kinda feeling flame sentinal have more than the "normal" fireball % of crit
does it raises the "spectre total crit chance" or the "spectre base spell chance to hit"

The problem is there is very little tooltip data on minions in general. There is no way we'll know how they are being affected unless we can look at them with a character sheet detail.

Am just assuming everything has a base 5% crit chance

No one likes Fire ribbons as specters?!?!?

what do you mean with fire ribbons?

the ones from act 3 are called flame sentinels - aka has alot of forum names
im not a native english speaker and even in my language they got different names so i also wrote the IG name - flame sentinels

:)

Does anyone know if the roll from the Cinder Elementals is an AOE and thus effected by Concentrated Effect or Increased Area of Effect?
