Meat Shield Support is a support gem for minion skills. It changes the minions' behaviour to be defensive, causing them to stay close to their owner and prioritise attacking close enemies by lowering their aggro radius. It also causes the supported minions to take less damage, grants increased movement speed, a chance to taunt on hit, and grants them more damage against enemies near you.
Minions are Defensive: If a minion is both Aggressive and Defensive, the effects will cancel each other out. This can be beneficial in situations where the stats provided by Meat Shield Support and Feeding Frenzy SupportFeeding Frenzy SupportSupport, Minion, Duration Icon: h Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 120%Requires Level 31Supports skills which create Minions.Feeding Frenzy base Duration is (4-5.9) seconds Minions from Supported Skills have (25-44)% chance to grant Feeding Frenzy to you on Hit Minions from Supported Skills are Aggressive
