Good/Interesting Necromantic aegis shields

[Paranoia]

Ive got a summoner build with necromantic aegis (stats from shields are applied to minions instead of yourself). Im currently using lioneyes remorse https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lioneye%27s_Remorse with the understanding that my minions get 5% extra block about 1600 armor and nearly 200 extra base health.

Survivability isnt really an issue and im looking for something that will either give my minions more power or do something interesting. Im also not entirely sure about the mechanics and im unsure how much benefit my minions actually get.

depending on the minion lycosidae could be a choice

If you don't care about defences, Victario's Charity, Sentari's Answer, The Deep Ones Hide, Kaltensoul, Chernobog's Pillar and Matua Tupana all give interetsing effects.

Jaws of Agony causes your minions to throw bear traps. It's interesting, but I don't know if it's actually useful from a DPS point of view.

Oh, i didn't realise the shields that granted skill applied to minions. But I guess the beartrap would hold them in place while the minions mob the target to death

I thought it did, but now I'm reading it doesn't.

I swear I once saw a video with trap-throwing zombies. Was it changed?

wrong minions dont get the skills.

and even when they would get them theoretically, they would not use them because mobs have a specific skill set.

Saying that though, would the Slavers in oriath continue to use their nets if used as spectres? Similar effect, but such a waste of spectre. Means your sketetons don't have to try and chase anything though.

[Awesome!]

tukohamas fortress will let tukohamas vanguard spectres cast an extra totem

ive never tried sentaris answer but it might be fun

[Paranoia]

Thanks for the answers.
Sentaris Answer looks interesting and i think i might look into it

There is also maligaro's lens. Very useful with SRS, becasue when they die the'll heal all other minions (and you), making the build very tanky.

Thousand Teeth Temu. Its not sexy or fancy but the extra damage form blocking kills quickly.

I believe they do. I know that the Reanimators from A3 will summon zombies, so using the nets doesn't seem far-fetched.

what about global defenses and global physical damage would they stack if i had a ton of minions?

You've just necroposted, but no. Global modifiers still only apply to the entity that has them; otherwise, holding a dagger with "50% increased global critical strike chance" would be suicide because enemies would crit you more. "Global" in this case is as opposed to the local increases to damage on weapons and defences on armour; for example, a robe with "100% increased maximum energy shield" only increases the energy shield on the robe, not from your gloves and so on.
