Why summoners use feeding frenzy support?

According to the wiki:
"Minions supported by the skill will therefore get a total of 26.5-36.4% more damage".

that's 36.4% max, if you're lucky.

there are many substitutes:
1. Minion damage - up to 49% more damage
2. Melee Physical - up to 49% more damage
3. Fortify - up to 34% more damage, BUT, the minions also gain defense.
4. Maim - up to 30% more damage, but if you're lucky, up to 14% more damage
5. Brutality - up to 59% more damage, but that limits you to phys only.
6. Ruthless - up to 132% more damage every 3rd strike, so that's 40% average more damage per strike.
7. Multistrike - my least favorite:
Supported Skills have (35-44)% more Melee Attack Speed
First Repeat of Supported Skills deals 22% more Damage
Second Repeat of Supported Skills deals 44% more Damage

but even better than 36.4% more damage of feeding frenzy...

so why?

minions are aggressive.

AND it might only be 36.4% more damage, but it ALSO gives them Movespeed + attack speed.

also, part of the buff applies to ALL of your minions, even if they are not linked to feeding frenzy support.

where do you see the movespeed and attack speed part?
its not on the wiki.

and the aggressive really changes anything? if u fight a boss, your minions will fight the boss... no other option.

99.9% of the game is map clearing, with bosses you can swap in Meatshield which also shares the same colour as feeding frenzy...

For zombies, "minions are aggressive" really makes a difference. Also the damage boost to the other minions is quite good when using skeletons / spectres.

Indeed, the behavior difference in zombies is huge. They stay engaged with the bad guys at a much larger radius with feeding frenzy than without.

You'll have to differentiate between Feeding Frenzy and Feeding Frenzy Suuport. The former is a buff on the player granting more damage and action speed to all minions, not just those linked to the Feeding Frenzy Support Gem.

In addition, while you have the Feeding Frenzy buff all of your minions have 10% more minion damage, 15% increased movement speed, and 15% increased attack and cast speed
