Does Zombies + Poison work with chaos/dot passives in tree?

Well,maybe I didn't pointed that clearly enough.
I know to affect minions in any way a passive must explicitly say "minions <something>".So I'm aware that all increased chaos damage passives won't affect them directly.
But that's not the point of my question - I wonder if poison caused by any source,be it my hit or of my zombies,can be scaled with increased chaos damage and increased damage over time.
That page in PoE wiki seems to confirm Sentilial's version,found it after creation of this topic.

Poison applied by YOU (NOT your minions) will be scaled by chaos damage % from the tree/jewels/etc. Poison applied by your zombies will NOT be scaled by % chaos damage on the tree/jewels/etc. (despite what Dismantletime says)

Oook,now it's clear.Thanks for explanations mates,looks like Commander of Darkness + few auras is the way to go to further increase damage of zombies,and therefore poison amount they deal.As you can see I've took all minion damage passives already.

Another question - will that poisoning work with Wither?I think it should,as it works with Vulnerability.

Yes.

Also, you can get jewel sockets, and get minion damage jewels.

in terms of min maxing

1 getting all minion passives

2 getting the minion ascendancies that will yield damage

3 getting as many 3 point or less jewel sockets and getting minion damage jewels minimum

4 getting as many auras as is easily manageable without compromising passives gear or gem slots

5 getting at mimum two primary curses for dot ie vulnerability and temp chains

6 wither on a totem

7 some source of shock because shock

that is pretty much you standard issue poison summoner

the trick fitting all of that together while still managing the other bits


it is harder than people think because you need your minions to be able to do damage AND take damage otherwise you waste potential on resummoning shit

Looks good,thanks Docbp87 and Saltychipmunk!

The last thing I'd like to ensure - Beacon of Corruption.I'm planning to use skeleton spam totem:
Spell Totem + Summon Skeletons + Minion Life + Faster Casting
in order to quickly reach max number of skelles,then killing them by summoning new ones.I wonder if these 10% life as chaos damage clouds will stack?

nope
