Self Reflection + Onigoroshi = Works?

Hmm...

With the new "Animate Weapon of Self Reflection" letting us make copies of our Main Hand, how does this work with Oni-Goroshi?

I'm honestly quite interested in what other people have discovered about this.

Does it:

A) Scale based on Minion's Level, and not the Player's?

B) Still scales with the Player's Level, and the Minion's "Weapon Copy" in the Minion's Main Hand matches the Player's Level?

C) Doesn't scale at all, and remains at level 1 because it's "Weapon Copy" is not attached to the Player, and Minion's don't count as a Player?

EDIT:
On a side note, the Minion's actually get "Her Embrace" when a Ignite triggers, so I can confirm that.

All I found is that the swords do get the fire degen after inflicting an ignite, but I haven't tested if they get the buff as well. It should be obvious but sometimes PoE has some slopy mechanics that don't work. (I've seen it before with other uniques, but I can't remember an example rn)

If however they do get the BUFF, the actual added phy per level is irelevant for what I had in mind.
This is so big because I could replace Voidforge with Oni-Goroshi in my build since is way cheaper and they both scale very good with Ghastly eye jewels and The Adorned
Not to mention the insane Crit Chance on Oni-Goroshi.

This is the PoB from Affliction League 3.23 with Voidforge when we hade -1 Animated weapon:

(open the actual PoB since this pobb.in has some bugged items, idk why.)

This is the updated version with close to perfect items 3.24

I know is a bit to squishy for some people, but the idea was to see what potential this gem has with the right weapon

EDIT: So I changed the PoB that I had in Affliction League (Not the Overtuned one) just to see how it would work with Oni-Goroshi instead of Voidforge. The Difference is there, but not as BIG as I expected

KEEP IN MIND! that I just swaped the weapon, changed some support gems to fit the weapon and I covered the enemy in Ash.
Most likely we could get more out of it if the whole build was made around it from the beginning.

If I could just get the confirmation that it works, I would start cooking right away.

EDIT 2: So I tested it with a friend and it works! Animate weapon of self reflection WORKS with Oni-Goroshi and that is superb. The swords do get in "her embrace"

Happy Building!

Ok so this got me very interested in diving in to this specific topic, I spoke to Viperesque who has confirmed the following details:

* The flat physical scaling modifier on Oni will in-fact scale Animated Weapons and will be based of the AW's monster level.

* The monster level of Animated Weapon is based entirely on the level requirement of the actual skill-gem, examples below:
A lvl 18 AW (such as from the chains of command) has a level requirement of 64, therefor making the AW monster lvl 64.
A lvl 21 AW gem has a lvl requirement of 72, therefor making the AW monster lvl 72.

Hope this helps! :)
