Living Lightning Speed and Supportability

1. They don't actually "attack every 0.14 seconds" as is stated on the gem. It's much longer.
2. They don't seem to be affected by support gens affecting the parent skill. Not sure if this is intended. For example, Infernal Legion does not affect them in an Unearth + Living Lightning + Infernal Legion combination.

I just unspecced ALL the nodes that boost my minion damage and they do exactly the same damage. The ONLY node that affect them is the "expendable Army" which increase the limit of them by +2.


I am very sad to realize I've done THE FULL CAMPAIGN with not a single node in my tree actually providing damage at all since they where my only source of damage.

Did some testing - they clearly do not attack at a rate of .14 seconds
It looks to be roughly every 1 second which matches the datamined stuff on poedb

So they deal 7x less damage than expected


They are not supportable - I can't support in "Feeding Frenzy" for example, If I support them with "Poison" support they don't poison even though they should deal chaos damage due to Lich passives and/or "Entropic Incarnation"

I can support "Skittering Stone" with "Poison" support and "Feeding Frenzy" and they work as expected - this is an almost identical Support Skill summon so unless noted they should work similar with supports


They do scale with minion damage - tested using unique boss bar dmg values

Level 18 Resonating shield
176% increased minion damage each hit dealt an average of 206.3 dmg
with
342% increased minion damage each hit dealt an average of 353.3 dmg


If these 2 issues were addressed this support would actually be usable

I think the only way to squeeze some more dmg is to make them extract impales you inflict.
