Essence of Horror Dont affect Minions

Hi There GGG
Im playing Solar Guards build
I Found helmets on poe.trade that have minion skills and 30% more ele damage

this one ive got


Socketed gems are supported by level 20 concentrated effect
Socketed gems are supported by level 20 minion damage
this two mods affect my solar guards

and this one:
Socketed gems Deal 30% More elemental damage Does not affect solar guards

all of them Saying Socketed gems so 30% of ele damage must work but it doesn't


i thought it's a old game now that's been worked on non stop for years so i thought i would not fail this much because of wrong description
I was farming 4 days all day over to get this helmet and turns out that i just wasted my time and is hurt me big time

i knwo you wont change game mechanics just because i want this to work
but i have solution that can solve this problem for me

If you guys can replace mods on helmet that ive got
30% more elemental damage to lvl 20 immolate
this would solve my issue

Thank you !

You missunderstood how minion gems are working.

Minion gems don't do any damage themself. They allow to rise minions that are doing the damage. The minions get the modifiers of all support skill gems.
Any modifier affecting socket gems do not effect your minions but skill raising them. That is the same reason why the tool tip of any minion skill in the skill bar do not show the damage of your minions but the damage of the skill gems cast, which is in most cases zero.

I am sorry to say but "socketed gems deal 30% more elemental damage" will never raise the damage of any minion.

Than spectres should not get damage from conc effect either because gem it self don't do area damage right ?

all support gem saying that supported gems deal more or what ever damage. than in your theory spectres should get damage only from minion specified nodes and gems that support minions

fire pen for example saying: Supports any skill that hits enemies, making those hits penetrate enemy fire resistance.
Spectre gem don't deal damage and dont hit but solar guards are supported by fire pen.


you saying: Any modifier affecting socket gems do not effect your minions but skill raising them
Do i have to call Vanga to know that? no, i don't have to.


helmet description CLEARLY saying that
Socketed gems are supported by level 20 concentrated effect
Socketed gems are supported by level 20 minion damage
Socketed gems Deal 30% More elemental

Those other modifiers are psuedo support gems which are designed to work with minion skills. The other is not a support gem and so since the minion gem itself doesn't deal damage, such as Arc would, the minions summoned by it won't get the benefit.

It is confusingly worded I think.
