[BUG] STR from The Baron doesn't add life to minions!

I'm using this item:

Your stregnth is added to your minions.

STR gives:
- 1% melee phys dmg per 5 str
- 1 life per 2 str

Below you have screenshots with 1200+ str and 900+ str. Nothing else changes for the minions.
As you can see Life on minions tooltip stays the same. Therefore the mechanic doesn't work as intended or the tooltip doesn't shows the correct value.
In other words there is a bug in the mechanics of the game.

Right click - "show graphic in new tab" to zoom the screenshots.
1200+ STR


900+ STR
Be water, my friend.

Your strength is added to your minions, not to your minion skills. The tooltip only shows things affecting the skill. There is no place to view your minion’s actual stats at all; you’d have to test by looking how quickly they die from a known amount of damage.

I don't think so as if you have for example any physical melee skill, it will show diffrent values of dps based on how much STR you have.

And on top of that you said it yourself that tooltip will shows only things affecting the skill. In that case STR is affecting the skill. And as you can see on the screenshot it doesn't.

Yes, Strength applies directly to your Melee Physical Skills. However, as Melvar mentions, the Baron does not apply Strength to your Mininon Skills, but instead to your Minions.

The tooltip display knows your character's stats. It does not know the stats of your Minions. That's also why it cannot display their Damage values. It's not bugged, it's a limitation of the engine.
Ok thank you guys for making this clear.

I would love GGG to clarify if this is the case.

If Mon'tregul's Grasp flat life works with the tooltip how come the flat life the zombie would get from strength dos'nt?

So if strength is added to minions, does it mean minions will have 1% increased melee damage per 5 strength points and 5 hp points per 10 strength or not? To be clear,I know that you cannot see stats on tooltip.

That is what Strength does, yes.
Only for testing this out I think it adds melee damage to minions, but in some way i don´t see a huge difference from my other necros builds and 200% increased damage is huge so it's sad. And life is not added, and that is wrong, it's a bug maybe.
