Minion Instability
Minion Instability is a keystone passive skill that causes minions to explode when reduced to low life, dealing 33% of their maximum life as fire damage to nearby enemies.
The base explosion radius is 22 units.[1]

Previously the damage dealt by exploding minions was not affected by a minion's own(1) fire damage or burning damage increases, such as those provided by the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Increased Burning Damage Support" support gem or through Necromantic Aegis. This bug has since been fixed.[2]
(1) Minions never benefit from your passives or equipment unless specifically stated.
