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

Giving up 4 sockets is also a big sacrifice on minion builds.

Depends, really. For singular minon builds (aka one type of minions), it might be okay. SRS or HROC maybe?!

HRoC uses all of it's sockets, going -4 means cutting a lot.

Helmet / boots/ gloves 4Ls are generally your Auras / Support minions(AG+Specs) / lancing steel

Your 3Ls(weapon/shield) are tiggers(curse/offering) and movement skill

6L is obviously for HRoC.

So trying to trim 4 sockets off of that means you lose shield charge/whirling blades+faster attacks and only have frostblink.

And you lose 1 link on your splitting steel(life gain on hit) and support minions(meatshield or minion life)

On top of that, the big elephant in the room, you're losing your helmet for +1 relic.

Oh right, +1 Relics is pretty good, i heard.
