Slashing Horror Spectre does not use owner's Rage
Hi, I wanted to play a summoner Berserker using Perfect Slashing Horror (Corpse item) Spectres, and stacking Rage + Rage effect. Slashing Horrors have the line "Affected by Owner's Rage", which should work really nicely with Berserker, Kaom's Primacy, etc.
However, as far as I can tell, these spectres don't gain the Rage effects from the Owner. They do seem to gain SOME effect, and also show the Rage Visual effect (red-ish aura). Tested as follows: (Ref # 3.489.459.570) - Using 1 Perfect Slashing Horror Spectre, no support gems - 0 flat fire damage for minions from any source - Kaom's Primacy axe as main hand weapon ("Every Rage also grants 1% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage") - Flammability curse for 25% Ignite chance Expected behaviour: After stacking about 50 Rage on my character, Rage should grant roughly 75% Phys as extra Fire Damage. Perfect Slashing Horror should inherit Owner's Rage, including 75% Phys as extra Fire Damage. Using Flammability on monsters for 25% Ignite chance should enable the Spectre to Ignite these monsters somewhat consistently with this Fire Damage. Note 1: Perfect Slashing Horror has a limited-uptime buff it casts on itself that also gives 100% phys as extra Fire Damage. I made sure this buff was down during testing, because that will mess things up. Makes testing a bit harder though. Observed behaviour: Perfect Slashing Horror Spectre NEVER Ignites targets, which are affected by Flammability (tested while their buff is down). Conclusion: Perfect Slashing Horrors don't actually use the Owner's Rage, and don't gain the effects that stem from that (Berserker's attack speed per Rage, Kaom's Primacy phys as extra fire, increased armour from Rage Mastery, etc.). They do seem to get something though, as indicated by the 'red hue' Rage visual indicator. They also seem to do more damage, but that is very difficult to test for me. Request: Can you guys change Perfect Slashing Horror's behaviour such that it is affected by all the Owner's Rage effects? I would really love to play my Warcry Minion Berserker. Note 2: I made sure to test this on multiple packs of monsters, so it's not that I accidentally tested on an pack that was Ignite immune.
