POE : Minions Poison

still leveling my summoner, but for any fellow Spectre summoners try to use poison with the Horror Knight spectre's from Dried Lake - in my tabula i had Raise Spectre-Minion Damage-LMP-Physical Projectile Damage-Poison-(rapid decay / slower projectiles / faster projectiles). Rabid decay would scale both the bleed and the poison.

No roah will ever charge u as it will be dead long before its gets to you.

Note: if you're using poison, you probably want slower projectiles over physical projectile damage since slower projectiles double dips for the poison damage (and bleeding).

What exactly do you mean /game mechanic wise when you say "double dip"

Let's take poison and minion damage. You have 100% increased minion damage and use a 50% more minion damage gem on your zombie that deals 100 base damage and poisons.

The zombie damage is increased by 100% up to 200, then he does 50% more damage, so 300.
The poison deals 20% of that over two seconds which is 60.
However, the poison done by a minion is also affected by minion damage, so it gets increased by 100% up to 120 and then does 50% more damage up to 180.
This is "double dipping" since the minion damage modifiers get applied twice.

This basically means the "slower projectiles" gem would act as both a semi-"physical projectile attack damage" gem and a semi-"rapid decay" gem, since the poison damage applied by a projectile is also considered projectile damage.
