Did I or tidus mispeak Sov? Is there some confusion about how it was said the minions don't get the aura? Of course its useless because the splash damage doesn't work well enough alone. If the minions got something out of it then well one could test it before making a snap judgement I suppose but frankly your reply is more useless than the build since you're stuck on the fact you think you have someone to convince of something about a build that we already decided wouldn't work due to the way the auras themselves work.

If I were playing a summoner though in pvp...which I'm not as again this would have been posted in the pvp forum not here...id frankly love it if I made someone change their gear to absorbing gear rather than their normal higher damage/better DR/higher life gear as that certainly gives me a better shot since the damage from losing 3 levels of the minions isn't all that much and the physical damage would still be the major factor. Anyways done..doesn't work and its already been said....next topic.
