What does demon blood aura from Khaz Ancient armor do? How much spell damage? Wasn't the aura name from skeletal minions changed to something else?

If the Enchantment: Helmet +10 Fire Dance adds no spell damage (as per description), then what the hell does it do then? Extend the duration ?

Bump. Anyone know?

Ewd. It gives ewd too in addition to spell dmg.

1) It's actually a ranged caster with high cast speed. Summoners fall behind somewhat, because you'll want to summon as many edyrems at time as you can, spam them on Toraja's mobs and blast them apart once edyrems do their work. Summoners have less control over application of damage, or need to put themselves at risk.
2) No.
3) Only certain charms and one specific item set.
4) No. That's why specializing into summoner just for Toraja is pointless.

Summon builds farm toraja easily. The summon barb stance sharing skill also applies to edyrems.

Zon with red vex set (farming set) actually does very well. Maxing fire elementals and dropping a handful of points into defensive harmony slows the archers down very well and makes them easier for edyrems to kill and then blood storm does the work as it’s a fire and forget skill. Easy clearing.

Thx a lot! But Seikun in his message above says that barb stances don't work on edyrem, and that nothing works except for items designed specifically to buff edyrems

I played melee barb in 1.6, and my Wolf Stance buffed the Edyrem.

I checked the patch notes and there is nothing stating that Edyrem buff behavior has changed since then.

Barb skills, buffs, stances - descriptions specify that all barb related stuff buffs only barb own minions, and sometimes not even own minions , only barb char himself ( not even merc). I'd say that nerf was necessary, barb summon builds were very OP in those days before nerfs.
