So the Feeding Frenzy buff, as of Delirium, will only affect the player. That I get but there is no description on the gem saying what that actual buff is any more.
Honestly, I think most of us used it as intended... to buff our minions into a feeding frenzy to do more damage. Our minions did our damage for us so that we pretty much didn't have to do much.
Now we have an undefined buff that our minions place on just ourselves that, I get it, causes us to do more damage ourselves but I guess my question is... how much of a buff is it? Is it the 5-14% buff that our minions used to get to do? Do we get the speed and cast increase as well or no?
I don't mind it being nerfed but I would like to know by how much and wether it is worth using at all now and if it is worth using, is it worth using for an army of minions or better of used with a melee or ranged type adding in a few golems to buff their offense/defense capabilities.
I appreciate any insight. I look forward to delirium. I actually took off two days of work for the first time in years lol. Of course I have to paint a room too hahah.

It still gives the damage boost to all minions while you have Feeding Frenzy buff. 10% more minion dmg, 15% move, cast & attack speed.
Just that the supported minion doesn't get the added more dmg anymore.

try to play zombie without it they are far too painfully passive and stupid and low coverage to deal with, but if you can bear it somehow, put feeding frenzy in a secondary minion since they will still benefit from the buff on you even if a different minion is triggering
it is insane to have to sacrifice a link for decent AI. feeding frenzy should be their default behavior. What FF should do is give them like leap slam or some crap, like how skeles get Dash.

Try to play any Zombie, Spectre or even Skeleton minion-setup without it as one of the 5 supports and youll see, that the AI is abyssmal without being set to 'aggressive'.
Not a fan of a mandatory support gem being nerfed into oblivion. The buff to proc chance is just a slap to the face ontop, since its worthless.
Also, yea, why not have a tooltip to show newer players what the support gem actually does?

Eaven if FF would only let minion be agressive, with no dmg at all, it would still be a viable gem.
Feel lucky you still habe the Attack, and movementspeed.

The feeding frenzy buff only ever applied to the player.

I didn't use it on skellies last league, you recast them often enough and put them where you want them that it wasn't needed.
Zombies on the other hand...

I played skels ALOT the last two leagues.
The dash ability that skels get when linked to feeding frenzy is HUGE for clear speed.
Just another nerf to skels/zombies.
(Zombie AI without FF is abysmal)
Spectres tho...it depends on the spectre.
I found slave drivers to do fine without FF.
There are 300+ new spectres, so I am sure there will be some who have default AI's that are agressive and do good dps.

It still gives the damage boost to all minions while you have Feeding Frenzy buff. 10% more minion dmg, 15% move, cast & attack speed.
Just that the supported minion doesn't get the added more dmg anymore.

then it is a buff. thought it was a nerf because i thought it only gave it to minions who get the feeding frenzy buff not to all minions who had feeding frenzy?

Hi! i'm high right now and who are you?

The gem used to give supported minions a 'more' damage multiplier and the chance for them to give you the 'Feeding Frenzy' buff on hit.
While you have that buff, all of your minions deal 10% more damage and have 15% increased over all speed.
As of 3.10 the gem will no longer give the supported minions a more damage multiplier.
You still get the FF buff, the buff still works the same and the minimum aggro range is still set to 70.
Got it?

Hello,
So you need to have feeding frenzy supporting the skill, in order for the buff to apply to your minions while you have feeding frenzy on you ?
If the socket is not supported by feeding frenzy that buff is uselless on you ? Or minions get the damage boost ?

Look at my character Press_C_For_Character.
Feeding Frenzy is linked with Zombies and Carrion Golems, but the Skeletons get the Feeding Frenzy bonus as well since it's a buff that lingers on you and applies to all of your minions.

Which is weird because on the gem it states :
'Minions from Supported Skills deal (5-14)% more Damage while you have Feeding Frenzy'
So this is why my question is, do they only gain the increased damage while they are supported by the gem or it doesn't matter who is giving the buff, as long as you have it it applies to every minion.
Because I am getting feeding frenzy buff from my golem but I need to know if it applies to my skellies as well even though they don't have feeding frenzy support linked.

Yes thats how it works.
If you are benefiting from it then so does the rest of your army
Edit:
The minions linked to FF will receive the mentioned %more dmg multi.
FF buffs everyone with:
- 10% more minion dmg
- 15% minion move speed
- 15% attack/cast speed

And the supported skill get's additional 14% from the gem ?
Good to know thanks for enlighten me.
