Yeah, I was reading the line about "Passion" weapons, and then it struck me. You completely IGNORED the fact that berserk could be useful on the weapon. :P
Anyway, on to my usual English Spelling/Grammar Nazi God nit. :P
Note the highlighted portions. I would suggest a slight retooling of it by simply saying:
However, some castable minions and revives(since revives are "timered" minions who WILL eventually die, regardless of damage level) often die or get recast, so you shouldn't sweat about trying to really power them up. Iron golems, shadow masters, and skeletons tend to last a reasonable amount of time, etc.
I personally think valks last pretty long, if they don't get themselves jumped on by 50+ zerglings(so to speak) Ditto for bears. I'd also say a pack of wolves would be a better choice for a beast-master partner, than a grizzly. 3-5 hits with full enchant damage PER HIT, versus 1+enchant for the bear.
I'm not saying that you should FORCE your partners to play specific builds, but it would be interesting to add what YOU think are good people to party(enchant) with. Just off the top of my head, I'd say Multi-zons, Strafe-zons, Fend-zons, Jab-zons, Whirling barbs, Frenzy barbs, Double-swing barbs(shrug), Zealots, Conviction paladins, Lower Resist Necros, Poison Dagger Necros, Wolfpack druids, Martial Artist Assasins, Star-sins(Blade throwers)
Essentially, anyone who can deal multiple physicalhits within a short span of time, would be a good partner, since every (successful)hit would be another touch of enchanted fire damage.
All in all, a good guide, barring the error mentioned above. Feel free to use any, all, or none of the suggestions above. :)
