Minion Damage Support
Template:Gem Infobox Increases the damage dealt by minions created by the linked skill(s).
Note: Because the modifier says increased damage and not more damage, the effect of this skill stacks additively with damage increasing minion passives and does not add so much damage. With all minion damage nodes allocated, this skill adds only 47% to damage. Level 20 Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Melee Physical Damage" adds 49% to damage for a lower mana multiplier (and stacks better with Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Multistrike" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Melee Splash"). Under these conditions, level 20 Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Multistrike" and Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Melee Splash" add 35% to damage in addition to their main benefits, 32% more DPS multiplicatively and additional targets respectively. On higher levels, the only good reasons to use this skill is to support non-melee minions (such as 
Raise Spectre), when socket colours are incompatible, the character does not have minion nodes allocated or the character has very low strength.
