minion resistances and armor?

hi everyone, i just lvled a summoner and it works so well.

but i'm wondering, minions stats are known? where can we find it?

i'd like to know the armor and resistances of minions.

from what i found in the internet/forums, minions now have 0% resist on all difficulties, which which make triple purity and ele resist nodes really strong for minion tankiness (81% resistances). am i right?

but couldnt find a single info about minions armor and HP.
Is determination worth it for minions? i can run triple purity + vitality + a 60 aura.

and i cant figure which one is the best to run since this game gives 0 info about minions stats.


thx everyone for the answers you'll provide me.

on mana alone ive been able to run all the 40% auras or 4 40% auras + 1 60% while using a blood magic gem for my curses an bone / flesh offering .


practically speaking it is better to use purity of elements vitality and hatred as core auras while switching between a 4th purity of element x aura for which ever boss you are fighting.

normally this means i am using purity of lightning because for some reason every boss that is dangerous in this game uses lightning.


we dont know the armor for minions but it is safe to assume that it is not much. probably enough to have some damage mitigation from weaker stuff like trash mobs , but not nearly enough to matter against large hits.

regardless determination is pointless. the largest defensive boon you can do for your minions is pair necro aegis with bone offering to give them capped block nor near capped block.

block is several times more effective than armor will ever be.


the only way you can get over 5 auras as a summoner is if you have prizm guardian and alphas howl and reserve three additional auras on life.

and this utilizes some heavy handed snap-shotting to pull off

I don't know who said Minions have zero Resistances, but we know for a fact Zombies have 32/64/32% at Gem level 20. Skeletons are likely to have Resistances as well, but they aren't known.

okay for zombies but what about specters? i dont care about skeletons tbh.

i'm running triple purity + vitality + 60% aura right now. if specters have no resistances i'll keep this setup but if they have same resistances than zombies then purity of elements can do the job.

i dont care about zombies dieing it's all about miscreations. the dps is just insane/ i think i'm around 30-40k(maybe it's even more) at lvl 70 (and i'm missing the sunblast to link trap to my snap shoted miscreation)

So determination is worthless. what's about grace? does it work on minions?

for info i'm using ele equilibrium arc/BM/ELEPROLIF/LIFE LEECH/FASTERCASTING with static blow + 3 curses (vulne ele weakness enfeble in solo play)

lvl 70 map bosses dies in 6s max.


I made the build for party plays with ele equilibrium/triple curse/static blows but didnt expect such a huge dps. So if i can run purity of elements instead of triple purity and keep minions capped it's awesome.

grace is also worthless, it really only give minions 25% chance to evade , really you are better off linking blind to one of your non damage dealing minions

Spectres' base resistances are the same as the monster they were created from afaik.

Spectres have whatever resists they had while alive, if you raise cannibals they will be notably resistant to chaos, if you raise a blackguard it will be notably resistant to all elements. It is assumed other resists are also there, just one of them is dominant, possibly similar to zombie resists, 25/25/50 or something like that.

okay then miscreation have 0 cold and light resist so if i want to cap them i'll have to use triple purity. and tbh purity of elements is pretty useless in group play where others purity is a 6% max resist buff.

thx everyone for answers.

there is one reason to use purity of elements... double andvarus for your self.

otherwise the three single resist auras will cap your minions resists on their own.
