Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0	Now has a 150% Cost and Reservation Multiplier (previously 130%). Minions from Supported Skills now deal 25-39% more Damage (previously 25-49%). Now has “Minions from Supported Skills have 25% less Maximum Life”.
2.0.0	Mana multiplier reduced to 130% from 150%. Damage now starts at 30% (down from 45%) but now acts multiplicatively with other sources. In general this should be a large boost to minion damage.
0.9.3	Minion Damage has been added to the game.
