Could you tell us about Bone Armour? Stats, tags (minion tag?), ...

Its tags are Spell, Duration, Guard, Minion. It's not a gem though, so won't be increased by global modifiers to minion skill gem levels. It will count as casting a spell of those types for any stats that care about that jazz. It has the same stats as a level 20 Steelskin, with the added benefit of also applying to all of your minions.

Maybe I missed it but what's the CD on the Skeleton warrior dash from feeding frenzy?

The skeleton's dash ability has a two second cooldown. It takes 0.15 seconds to dash, and also has the same range as the player Dash skill.

While you're wandering around in here I had a question about mines.

Stormblast says 3% increased damage taken up to a maximum of 150%

Does that mean with 20 mines out (60%) and 200% increased aura effect, the mines will still be capped at 150% increased damage taken or would they provide an aura at 180% increased damage taken?

The mine aura value cap is a hard cap, not modified by aura effect, so the mines would grant 150% increased damage taken even if you had 5000% increased aura effect.

How does their auto-attack work with multistrike? Do the first two multistrike swings count as the first 2 'weaker' autos, and the last multistrike swing is the first of attacks 3-6 that has the inc damage and more attack speed?

Or does multistrike repeat auto 1 three times, then auto 2 three times, etc?

If they did their full 6 hit combo, that'd be two multistrike sequences. Visually, it'd just look like they did their normal sequence, but faster, but the damage would be more loaded towards the rapid final attacks.

Maybe it's a silly question, but... Are there any minions that didn't get the accuracy buff? Or that behave differently in any way when it comes to their attacks' accuracy?

Technically any minion that only uses spells didn't get the buff, spectres are the only ones that didn't directly get the buff, only indirectly through their skill gem.

Yeah, that stat would be increasing all damage dealt by your golems so it'd apply to the minion's Infernal Legion's damage as well.

How does Feeding Frenzy interact with Spiritual aid and Command? Does the player character get the more damage or only the increased attack speed?

Spiritual Aid doesn't give you any benefit from Feeding Frenzy, because Feeding Frenzy gives More damage, while Spiritual Aid only applies to increases and reductions. Spiritual Command would give you the increased attack speed from Feeding Frenzy though, that one works!

So it should be +2 to All Active Minion Skill Gems, or do all + Skill Gem mods only affect active skills?

Support Gems are different from Skill Gems, not a subset of them. This is a little bit confusing because of some old discontinued naming conventions!

Question about the reworked Mana Reduction support gem. Does it apply to skills used in say CwC/CoC or just the skill that is consuming mana? For example Incinerate CwC Volatile Dead. Do both Incinerate and Volatile Dead get the damage/crit or just Incinerate?

All supported skills gain the benefits per Inspiration Charge, regardless of if they generated them or not. This could also mean that you could generate Inspiration Charges with one skill, then get the benefit on a completely unrelated skill as long as it is supported by an Insipration Support.

Blink arrow and Mirror arrow?

Blink and Mirror Arrow clones also have the accuracy buff.

Do primordial might and feeding frenzy apply the same aggressive AI to golems or is there some difference between the two?

Primordial Might and Feeding Frenzy use the same Aggressive stat/behaviour.

Hey, Thanks for all your answers!

Does the +2 from necro apply to Phantasm support (and other minion supports for that matter)

The +2 to all Minion Skill Gems doesn't apply to the Phantasm Support or other minion supports, nor does it apply to minion skills that come directly from items like Soulwrest, as they're not actual gems.

is it completely unsupported or does the more attack speed from multistrike still apply to their leap slams?

Everything from Multistrike will apply to their leap, but they won't get that second or third repeat damage bonus.

Arakaali's Fang spiders do also have the accuracy buff.

that raises an interesting question then: if the carrion golem's slam attack does not repeat via multistrike, what about stone golem? Same as carrion golem?

The no-repeat only applies to the Leap Slam, not their cascade slam, because it was a bit pointless when they jumped on the spot. Stone Golem slams still repeat as usual.

Dominating Blow, please!

They've got the improved accuracy all minions got, but their slam attacks info:

33% less Attack Speed, 100% more damage.

Do you have the information on dancing dervish minions? If they remain the same or not?

The only change I'm aware of is improved accuracy, anything else would be patch noted!

Thanks for sticking around and good launch!

Correct, Infernal Legion is just the damage stated on the support gem, multiplied by any damage bonuses your minions have that would apply, like Minion Damage from any source, or Burning Damage from supports etc.
