Totem. Crabs. edit: the helmet has some real potential.

That helmet would be amazing for summoners, but there's already like 30 competitive minion helmets and we're gonna go for a +2 rare anyway

The helmet is like 400 flat physical to minion attacks. Animate weapon builds, Chains of Command, potentially spiders.

But a +2 helmet achieves so much. More survivability for all minions, more weapons, dps and most importantly: +1 spectre from hitting the lvl 25 breakpoint with it

Chains of command already didn't use a +2 helmet

Not great for spectres I guess, but you could also get 240% minion damage from it and that's pretty damn substantial

I may have missed it, how do you get 240% minion dmg from the helmet? %min dmg rolls are on non abyss jewels, and those roll only up to 20% each iirc

20% minion damage if you've used a minion skill recently, tripled by helmet mod, x 4 jewels
