Version history

Version	Changes
3.23.0	Quality now provides 0-40% increased Buff Effect, instead of causing Minions to have 0-10% increased Area of Effect.
3.19.0	The damage and life scaling values for minions have been adjusted. Generally speaking, minion life and damage is unchanged in the very early game, roughly 30% lower in mid acts, roughly 20% lower at level 20 of the minion skill, and roughly 10% lower at level 30 of the minion skill. The Relic's nova Spell now has 250% Effectiveness of Added Damage at all gem levels (previously scaling from 70% at gem level 1 to 146% at gem level 20). It now grants approximately 50% more Life regenerated per second to Allies and Minions at all gem levels. Helmet Enchantments that grant Summoned Holy Relics increased Buff Effect now have values of 40% and 60% (previously 75% and 100%).
3.11.0	Now has a base critical strike chance of 5% on its Nova skill (previously erroneously had 0%).
3.10.0	Now displays the minion's life in the tooltip. Now has a cooldown of 0.3 seconds on its nova skill (from 0.25).
3.7.4b	Updated the Holy Relic model to make it symmetrical.
3.4.3c	Summon Holy Relic can now be affected by modifiers to Skill Effect Duration, including those found on Support Gems. Note that this affects the duration of the healing from its nova, so only modifiers that affect a minion's Skill Effect Duration will apply to it, rather than global Skill Effect Duration modifiers (such as those found on the passive tree).
3.4.0	Summon Holy Relic has been added to the game.
