Minion attacks and spells are not YOUR skills. That's why nothing except ally or minion damage (even global damage modifiers) affects them. Same as for Shimmeron's wording change, traps, mines and totems dealing damage are not YOU dealing damage but they are using your skills, from your gems. Minions are using their own skills that can be modified by linking stuff to the skill gem that summons them or putting the gem into an item modifying socketed gems effects. (like sire of shards)
This is correct.
Wait, does Nature's Reprisal actually give minions from Chaos skills 50% increased AOE? I wouldn't expect it to.
No, it does not. It gives area of effect to the skill doing the summoning, the skills the minion uses after it's summoned are entirely separate from that.
But it’s not « your modifier » it’s a modifier to your skills... as a support gem
It’s worded as a global support gem
It is not worded as a support gem, or even a support effect (there's defintiely no gem involved). It's a modifier on you that affects each of your skills. It does not affect the skills of other entities, even if they happen to have been summoned by you using your skills.
I think the bug is in the display then, if it shows 2 chains in the tooltip. Ricochet and your quiver modify your skills, and the ice golem shots are not your skills and don't use your modifiers. Chain support modifies the minion skill gem and hence does apply.
Yes this is a display bug that will hopefully be fixed in 3.8.0. The Summon Ice Golem skill is showing it's total number of chains (which it never uses), where it should be showing just the value from supports which will actually get passed to minions.
What is the intended behavior of the "Socketed Gems Chain 1 additional times" mod on bows? It currently applies to the minion.
Modifiers affecting socketed gems are support effects that are build into the item and support all gems socketed into them. Like other support effects, they apply to minions created by the skill.
