Help -> Minions + Bleed Damage? Anyway to make minions bleed damage strong?

Been looking over this for some hours now. Anyway to really scale minions so they are doing really good bleed damage? I wanna build around the new summon Reaper but I just can’t see how the bleed damage is going to be any good?

Any got a good ideas?

Thx

I think generic minion dmg bonus should affect the bleed dmg.

It is, but it’s really not that good, you can’t scale minion bleed damage like you can with the player.

So for me the question is if it’s even a good idea to try and go for good bleed on minions 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wait for the Patch notes?

With a over all 40% nerf I don’t think that’s going to help 🤪

It is 20% overall, with reductions possibly reaching as high as 40% for fully six-linked skills with more multipliers.

Again, watch for the patch notes before you make too many assumptions.

That is a 40% reduction for nearly all good endgame builds 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m not talking early game 4L.
getting ready for builds before patch notes is not something new and maybe if you read my topic you would know I’m not asking about what you can do after patch but what we can do now to get an idea about what I maybe can build around when the new patch hits and maybe I missed something about minions and bleed another person can point out 👍🏻 And maybe I then can buy what I need from other players before it maybe becomes meta and goes up in price.

the new reaper minion could be good for bleeds

generally speaking, you just scale minion damage and use typical support gems that are good for bleeding, stuff that affects enemies (pride, war banner, curse, etc)

Yeah I’m thinking maybe use ruthless blow + melee phys and the get another minion to have anomaly bloodlust to give Crush 🤷🏻‍♂️ Impale would maybe be the way to go also. And maybe use clusters with bodyguard and renewal to get that double damage plus getting the minions to knock back targets = counts as moveing so the bleed damage triples. Auras I would go Flesh and Stone + maim + dread banner or war banner + haste/vaal haste and avian, using saqu chest. Pride is just not worth it, the radius on that aura is so small so to even get something out of if you need to be kissing the boss and I’m not really in to that 🤪

Get bone helmet with +3 skills and minion damage and some other good rolls and have 2 cold iron daggers plus amulet with 1 intel skill gems and 1 phys plus 2 skills from your necro passive, your reaper would hit lvl 34 and carrion golem hit lvl 31 = 79 flat phys damage buff + 150% carrion effect head enchant and 2x 40% from clusters then your carrion would add 260 flat phys. If you put your carrion in ring with plus 3 to socket gems it would also be 34 and would add 300 flat phys damage.

Then use skeletons to be the minion to use bloodlust to add Crush and be the main minion to give knockback so your bleed damage from your reaper triples 🤷🏻‍♂️

Am I dreaming or would that not be viable 🤷🏻‍♂️🤪
