Do minions scale with gem level?

For example, Raging Souls 4->7 increases the number summoned with 1 cast by 1. So in other words, there's 3 levels of gem increase, but only +1 stat.

Or Pyromancers. 6->7 increases their int and level requirements, and that's all. No Spirit cost decrease. So is it literally a detriment to level that gem up? Or do minions have some hidden base damage stat that increases?

Yes, absolutely. Their attack/damage and HP are for sure influenced by the level of the gem. You are seeing no bonus to spirit cost or other easy to see things but you can test this with the minion info panel (click the arrow next to "+") and unequip and equip a +1 minion skill helm or stick.

Thanks a lot! I didn't know that!

also the skill they provide does more damage. +minion skill is the main stat for summoner
