  • grants Minions Unholy Might

Unholy Might is a buff that grants 30% of physical damage as extra chaos damage. Gain X% of Y damage as extra Z damage, such as granted by Unholy Might, is a type of damage conversion. It does not remove the original damage type, and is not limited to 100%.

The effects of Unholy Might are affected by increased Buff Effect. The duration of Unholy Might cannot be increased by the duration passive nodes because these only increase the duration of buffs applied by skills.

PoE 3.19 Changes

Problem: The Necromancer's Unnatural Strength notable passive skill is extremely strong for almost all minion builds due to how well minion skills scale with gem level. This skill makes it hard to justify using other ascendancy classes for minion builds.

Solution: Change Unnatural Strength to provide a less universally applicable stat, and allow more access to minion gem levels on items instead (as detailed above).
  • The Necromancer's Unnatural Strength Notable Ascendancy Passive Skill no longer provides +2 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems. Instead, it now grants Minions Unholy Might.
