Can minions crit?

Can minions from the necromancer skills crit if I have high crit chance with their attacks?

As far as I can tell, the skeletons' damage only increases with your spell damage and through gems slotted into the appropriate skills. (Open to someone proving me wrong there.) Ward of the Damned, for example, can increase the damage of your skeletons for a few seconds if you recast it on them, should you have a skill gem that allows for it.

I haven't done the math in 1.0, but in pre 1.0 I've done some very low GS, no amulet boss fights, and I think ONLY your GS was relevant to Skeletons.

Which makes sense if you think about it - if you mouse over the summons you will see that they have the same GS you had at the time you cast the spell.

My current understanding is that nothing except GS and Jewels matters. Maybe new Stygian altar skills also do, so take a closer look at those, but that's it.
