Crazy minion support gem: "Merge"

"

-1 to OP
+1 to dual-wield Grasp

Could you elaborate?

No.

Montegrul's already (sort of) does this and no one uses it.
We also don't need another fucking support to link to everything.

I don't want 1 super Zombie. I want 9 fully functional Zombies with an AI smarter than an empty bottle of Jack Daniel's.

We're strapped on gem slots anyway. Even moreso after Convocation, Flesh Offering, Bone Offering, etc. We need to stop adding more.

How about making it work like "Union of Souls" - so when some of the minions die, the others grow bigger?

Then don't equip the gem.

Looks like everything worked out for you then.

Support suggestion is bad for literally every Minion skill except one, and the problem there is best solved by a non-support solution.

Animate Guardian, all Golem skills: Mac count of 1, does nothing
Animate Weapon, Dominating Blow, Raise Spectre: These can all create different types of Minions from one casting to the next.
Blink Arrow, Mirror Arrow: Cooldown (or cooldown-esque antispam measure) prevents multiple uses.
Summon Skeletons: These are all about the temporary damage soak, having more is better.
Raise Zombie: Simpsons already did it. Plus, more is better anyway.

That leaves SRS as really the only beneficiary of such a support, as a way to undo the recent AI change and get focused SRS targeting again.

No support should be necessary for that. Do that honest thing instead and do what I_NO does: just ask for the old AI back.

Could maybe make it something more like 50% Less Max Minions something akin to Controlled Destruction. Sure there's Monty's for that but that only works for Zombies though.
