question about minion snapshotting
|
Hello! I am sorry in advance if this topic have already been discussed somewhere, but english is not my native language and it's difficult for me to search those threads. Anyway, my question about minion and gems mechanics: let's say i have a bringer of rain and i want to use it to summon zombies. i summon them all right, but what happens next when i put the zombie gem in the other helm? will those affixes benefit for the zombies? For example, if that other helm has +2 minion gem level affix, will the zombies summoned from bringer of rain be +2 leveled when put in that helm? The other question is about iir: what if i summon the zombies with sidhebreath put on, and then swith to the ammy which has iir on it, will that bonus be applied? And the last question is: why does everybody run with 3 burned miscreation? i mean, the guides state that it indirectly increases the odds of activation the unrighteous fire, but other than that? do they stack? if no, wouldn't it be better to run like 1 BM + 2 flame sentinels? Thank you.

" Wall of text......try to separate what your typing a little bit, anyways, to answer your questions. 1. Minions keep all the stats that you use WHEN they were summoned, hence the term snapshotting. Moving them afterwards to a +2 Helm will not give them the bonuses from the helm, they would keep the Bringer of Rain's bonuses instead. 2. Outside of the IIR gem, minions check your IIR when they kill something. So in that sense, snapshotting won't prevent you from using IIR gear. 3. Not everybody uses 3 BM. 3 BM is a popular setup to get 3 different radius of damage, ranging from large radius, decent damage to the small radius, extreme damage. 1~2 BMs with an Undying Evangelist would be a much better and balanced setup. |

i find one BM + 1 evangelist + 1 tentacle miscreation to be best. Close range big AOE damage + protective shield/short range spell + very long range projectile attack.
