Will this work for minions
If i use a Dendrobate, uniqe Sentinel Jacket, it have these stats:
Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 10 Chance to Poison (130-150)% increased Evasion and Energy Shield +40 to maximum Energy Shield +(15-25)% to all Elemental Resistances (75-100)% increased Damage with Poison if you have at least 300 Dexterity (15-25)% increased Poison Duration if you have at least 150 Intelligence And i put a Summon Skelletons gem in the jacket plus supports. The skelletons will be supported by the lvl 10 Chance to poison, thats quite obvious. But will the skelletons also be supported by the 2 other poison stats, increased Damage with Poison and increased poison duration? My guess is no, just me (with my attacks and spells) not the minions but i got to ask. I plan to use all skelleton mages from the unique jewel. Last bumped on Mar 29, 2023, 7:57:26 PM

"That's correct. If it was working for socketed gems, or "you and your minions", it was worded accordingly. |

As a rule of thumb, only things that specifically says "Minion" or "Ally/Allies" will affect your Minions.
The only exceptions (so far) are: * your shield's bonus when under Necromantic Aegis, * Iron Mass (because your Summon Skeleton will use that sword instead of the standard one they have) * Support skill gems that can affect minions (if a Support Skill Gem gives minion a bonus, this will apply also to those minion's minions, if any) |

OK, i guessed only the lvl10 Poison would apply to the Summoned Skelletons.
I just tried the Dead Reakoning jewel that turns my skelletons to skelleton mages. First thing i notice is that the same support gems dont apply to the mages as my damage went down, a lot. According to poewiki Skeleton Mages cast ranged fire, cold, or lightning spell projectiles so melee supportgems dont work anymore. Poewiki says Faster casting and Spell Echo works but there must be other supportgems that work too, does the minion damage support work? Is there any info somewhere what supportgems that apply to the skelleton mages other than poewiki (that only mention the 2 above)? And does the mages do a random element each cast or do they all spawn with the same element depending on area or do they do all 3 elements in all their ranged attacks? |

Minion damage support always works for minions regardless of type. You can also do things like penetration, crit, etc. for supports. The easiest way to get something comprehensive is to use PoB.

I have a whole build guide for newbies, dedicated to skeleton mages.
Check it out. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3351307 FYI poison only works with physical and chaos damage, the base damage of skel mages is elemental, so unless you have a source of phys/chaos damage for minions, poison will not work for skel mages. P.S. each skel mages is summoned with one element, fire or cold or lightning, that individual mage will not change elements, but its random which one is summoned.
