I have found this method to be the most reliable way to get the BMs to turn on UF. Not completely reliable to be sure, but more so than the other tips/methods.

I know I'm late to the discussion, but works with your minions with necro aegis.

That means your minions get 6% hp regen (all 27 of them). Zombies heal at about 1k/s @ ~20.
You still need vitality to get them from 35% to 100%, but it stops them from dying.
Obviously doesn't work with Minion Instability.

But I use it with BM and they rarely die except for most dire of situations.

I liked the analysis of the BM damage. Good process.

These minions are so mutch fun, i use them all the time.
Only thing that REALY anoys me (more and more) when u switch level (go down stairs enter boss room..) the aura turns of most of the time, this is REALY killing.

For example when u go from lunaris 3 to piety the aura goes off.. that way there is no way of getting it on again that fast and all minions end up ded.

Anyone having some advice for this?

I am running into this as well.

Really Really Annoying!

If you insist on 6 linking them the ONLY thing that can further boost their damage is an Empower Gem. It will lower the Spectre Life Penalty by 2%, giving a slight boost in damage.

This has gotten me to thinking about boosting their damage.

Has anyone tried Necromantic Aegis with a Lioneye's Remorse? That seems like it would add a substantial amount of HP after bonuses, thus increasing damage.

Is it such a significant amount to make it worthwhile though?

Idea situation would be an extra 224.48 HP (100 HP Lioneye * 144% Passives + Minion gem * .92% Spectre Gem boosted with Empower).

by far the best shield to aegis to your minions is

they can facetank merciless piety ice arrows, i have the vod posted in my guide
also on the BMs won't turn on their damage topic; drag them out of combat, then in, then out again, eventually they will turn it on, also shown at the start of the vod

Hi there, what about fire penetration ? Doesn't that help, too ?

Sorry if this is a dumb question...

With the upcoming patch the increased burning damage passives will apply to DOTs, so maybe looking in to it again is in order.

After patch 1.0.2 there were some changes to the DOT system.

-Previously, modifiers to damage dealt applied only to damage on hits unless they specifically said otherwise (for example, Increased Burning Damage).

-Generic modifiers to damage dealt will now apply to damage over time that your character causes. Damage over time is not spell damage, nor attack damage, so modifiers specific to those types will not apply. Non-specific "increased damage" modifiers will apply to damage over time. Type-specific modifiers will apply as well. For example, "increased fire damage" modifiers will apply to fire damage over time.

That means minion damage works with burned miscreations now right?

Will this guide be updated for the new patch?

BTW - thanks for all of the great information you have provided. It really helped.
