QUESTION about RETREAT gem

Can i use the RETREAT gem in my skills and trigger the effect ( 25% more damage ) while my MINIONS do MEELE damage to monsters???

Has anyone tested it yet?

I have damaged monsters through my skill wich is minion skill. So i basically used my skill to damage the monsters. Otherwise if i fire a grenade . the grenade itself do the damage and not me.

I understand your point but this should change.Every skill used by me is ME.
This is not my point, this is game mechanics.
Minions are separate entities, and they do not benefit from modifiers to stats that affect the player character's offences or defences; only modifiers that specify or affect minions or allies will apply.

You answered your own question. Minion Skills are NOT Melee hits. Malee hits are from Martial Weapons (maces, quarterstave etc). Bows are not Melee. Summoning Minions are not Melee. Spells are not Melee.
If a minion fights with sword then its a melee attack from minion that created from my skill. So everything is basically related. But game mechanism is a game mechanism that comes from Devs and this could be easily modified.
