Fortify cluster and minions

Context :
- We know that minions could get the fortify buff by linking a minion gem to the Fortify support gem.
- In the Duelist/Marauder section of the passive tree there is a 4 nodes cluster (rempart) that gives : x% increased Physical Melee Damage while you have Fortify.

My question is : could the Fortify buff on my minions benefit from the aforementioned cluster nodes?

No, like every passive on the tree not labelled 'to minions', those bonuses affect only you.

Thank you for your insight. Maybe you test it out, or have a source?

No need to test anything. As raics said as long as it is not labelled 'to minions' it will not work with minions.

been posted several times all over the place by GGG.

I would suggest going to the skills sub forums and just click on the *G* button for each minion related skill till you find one of them, shouldn't take long.

A simple logic test for you though. if every passive worked how you suggest, then there would be no need to passives related to minions at all since every melee/magic/physical node everywhere would apply to them.

@Asmosis - your logic test would no be appliable here because we talk about a buff from an active skill not a mere passive buff.

Doesn't matter what it is, if a bonus located on you doesn't say 'to minions' or 'to allies' it won't affect your minions. Indeed, if that fortify cluster applied, then everything else would have to.

That's a hard rule with only one semi-exception which would be skill duration for minions that have one, and that's because summoning a minion is an effect that has a duration in that case and you're the origin of the effect, they didn't summon themselves.

OK, thanks again raics.
