Minion instability and crit chance

Thanks.

Just as a messy quick calc:
You´d normally be able to summon 6 SRS using a woke unleash and the mastery and have them explode.

This notable should allow SRS MI to crit and you can utilize Crit Damage support instead over Unleash for about 140% crit multi plus some 80% multi from the tree and whatever else you can get on gear, resulting in more single target dmg but less effective clear.


Not bad but nothing to write home about either.

Some guy also did math on that

Hmm that Elegant Hubris is 50% of his dmg.

Kudos to him for figuring that out, but this build stands and falls with this one jewel by the looks of it.

The Minion Instability scales with Critical Strike Chance, Critical Strike Multiplier, Minion damage, Minions' elemental/fire damage, Minion AoE, Fire/Elemental penetration, Area of Effect support gems (both damage-wise and Area of effect), and its damage is also affected by Exposures and other sources of increased damage taken by the target. Frenzy/Power charges on minions that explode will also affect the damage of the explosion. The MI explosion also benefits from chance to ignite and you can proliferate its ignites.
Unfortunately, for some reason, it doesn't seem to have a base critical chance according to PoB.

Minion Instability is not a 'secondary damage'. Its source is the minion itself.
It's a spell that's cast by the minions on death.

Secondary damage is one of the four damage kinds in PoE, not a word we just made up. And all monster/corpse explosions are secondary damage, not spell damage (which is another damage kind). It's true that the minion itself is the source of MI's explosion but it has nothing to do with damage kinds.

Spell modifiers don't apply to explosions.
