Version history

Version	Changes
3.20.0	Quality on Divergent Summon Skeletons now provides "+0-1 seconds to Cooldown" and "Summons 0-4 Skeleton Warriors" (previously "Minions' Attacks have 0-10% chance to Maim Enemies on Hit").
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.

3.14.0	Modifiers that are unveiled through Jun are now more powerful than before.

3.10.0	Damage dealt by minions at all gem levels has been lowered by approximately 40%.

The number of maximum summoned skeletons you can have at gem level 20 is now 7 (from 8).
