How does negative resistance modifiers interact with necro summons?

If I'm wearing an amulet that grants negative enemy resistance, do my minions proc/benefit from this?

In general, what game mechanics DO affect minions? New to the game here and loving it :)

Nope, -enemy resist doesn’t affect minions. I‘m pretty sure though the only minions that are affected by it are totems.

Aside from that minions are buffed by auras, like the skeletal flayer aura. And they also profit from enemy debuffs like the djinn -enemy resist aura. And other buffs like bloodlust and dark power.

Aside from that: minion resist ( capped at 75%) minion life, minion damage +skills and minion attack rating. That‘s pretty much it.

I see no set bonus at all when I equipped 2 set pieces to my mer.
So, does it work or not?

Mercs do not benefit from set bonus as far as I am aware.

They still benefit before sigma , so it was removed. Sad thing. I see no reason why!

Also, they removed Demon Blood aura on everyone (except main char and necro minion - mers, other summon and reanimate won't have), that suck, too.

I may be wrong, I didnt recall them gaining from set bonuses before.

I am 100% sure they do, I often used 2 pieces from the unholy melee Paladin set to give my mers a nice Flamestrike proc.
There was only 1 full set that mer could equip, though - so most of the time - the bonus from 2-4 pieces is pretty underwhelming.
