Minion Skills like Vaal Summon Skelettons -> no DPS Information?!

Hey guys,

I'm playing with minions and I never see any DPS information regarding them.. especially when i goes to linking it would be cool to see what is more effective and so on

Does someone has an idea about that?
They are definitely doing damage

Edit:

Just noticed that I have this issue with all of my minions skills

Vaal Summon Skelletons
Raise Zombie
Raise Spectre
Summon Carrion Golem





Thanks and regards

Hey,

minions are very special in this regard and simply dont have tooltip dps.
The only way to figure minion dmg out is this:
https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/releases

- Download and install the *.exe
- Make sure to unhide your characters in your accounts privacy settings
- Import your character
- Go to "calc" tab, check "show minion stats" box and then take a look at the details

It looks kinda like this (random screenshot):


This tool allows you to pick and craft all kinds of gear, link different support gems and so on, while showing you the result as well. So you can figure out the best combo of skills, support, gear etc for your build.

Takes some time to get used to it, but it is very powerful.

Thanks I'm using the tool already.

I just was wondering that sometimes there is dps shown and sometimes not - would be a lot easier if they would count everything to the minions in game :)

Think I will then do it like you suggested - thanks again :)

It's because they tried to be "realistic" and make Minions be their own entities with their own stats & modifiers. In order to do this, they make it so your Spell skills like Vaal Summon Skeletons don't actually do any damage by themselves; the action that the Spell skill takes is that it creates actual Skeleton entities. Your character sheet & the damage tooltip only tracks your character entity; it's not designed to relay information about other entities. Since the Skeleton entities are entirely separate, trying to get their DPS on your tooltip would be similarly as difficult as coding a display that told you your enemies' DPS.

You are welcome :)

In my experience flat dmg from to spells from rings or wands will show up for minion skills as tooltip dps as well, because they do have a "spell" tag but wont benefit from flat spell damage.

This is a flaw in the system and has nothing to do with the minions dps output.
There is no viable ingame option to figure it out Im aware of. So you have to rely on tools like PoB or do the math yourself ;)

Thanks adghar and Orbaal

@adghar
not sure if this would be that hard do show a dps value for minions since the dps value is already calcualted... anyway if there is no way I will to it like Orbaal worte :D just playing the first time with minions and new to the stuff ^^
