Spell damage doesn't increase bat damage Nitz
. They deal WDM. It's pretty hard to come up with a decent amount of minion stats while also having pierce, but what I can certainly say is that they deal a more than decent amount of damage without pierce (tested). I went for soul harvester parma, noctule, goetia, laz helm for minion stats, death's mechanic reanimate and SoV for more reanimates. Got deadfall belt for more strength since goetia is str demanding and by this i saved some points to put more into dex to reach max block. Gloves where dex crafts with stormblast although i could have tried to craft some minion stats gloves with burning veil, and for boots i used angel's wrath for +2sk, 10% life, 10% dr. Jewelery was dyers eve, sotnk and arush. And last but not least i used a bloodmage merc since he benefits from SoV's aura for more fire spell damage. For buffing i used sky scorcher and shamanka (bloodlust for bats and merc is good to have). Other than that, rapture always up on merc. Sockets where just perfect amethysts for more damage and max block. Will come with a video today probably after I finish with my treewarden request
