Minions skills do not inherently do damage; they summon a minion, where the minion does damage. Triple damage would not apply to Elemental Minions in this case.
X% Reduced Resistances (not -X% to Resistances) is multiplicative with your Uncapped Resists (in Character Screen) towards zero, and additively multiplicative with the Blight Helmets or entirely multiplicative with Tempered by War. Negative Resists will become less negative, so it has antisynergy with Doryani's Prototype.
With a 63% reduced roll, starting from -60 basline, you would need 262 Elemental Resists to reach 75 Ele Res.
