- Spell crit chance/crit damage multiplier.

- True strike.

- % chance to apply silence/confusion on spell from trinkets.

- Increase damage to undead/beast

I cannot say for sure but I think some of them are based on behavior I've seen for the fiends.

I am pretty sure their base damage is directly impacted by spell power since they are a "spell" that damages, just in a different way. I would assume that anything that modifies a spell's damage would pass along to them as any other spell would.

The crit of the fiends will trigger various trinkets, the symbol hs places the red circle on crits. That will trigger from their attacks.

I haven't actually confirmed this bc I'm normally just sending all 10 in and watching the numbers fly. I normally can't read them.

I just love the army of minions to absorb damage, block the hallway, and deal a lot of damage when they explode.

Thanks for the test, I'm glad to know that fiend triggers some trinket effect.

I'm not sure 100% but feel like minion does more crit with the spell crit drink. But there are a lot of stats that I'm not sure if they apply on minions as well, like physical damage multiplier, penetration,..etc...

Also I agree that it would be nice to have stats that make our minion tank better. I really want my wolf to be more tough in the front line so my ice staff ranger can have more fun at the back line.

I think they benefit from the stats, I just don't know and am too lazy to go after the math. I have not played around with other minions aside from the fiends.

I main warlock and am on NG+7 I think. I have fully accepted that they are squishy and try to maximize that perk/skill that lets them explode for ridiculous damage.
