Does the rune of ranger really works in necros?

[Axelteas.7192]

I bought the 6 set of runes of the ranger than increases damage when having an "active companion" I read an searched in forums and they say a minion is like a pet, but never Anet developers gave an answer.I compared the damage before and after adding the runes in to the clothes and the numbers were the same or lower. No notable diference in crits and damage. Anyione noticed sucessfully higer damage? A mesmer with clones tried this?

That's what the wiki say:

For the purposes of triggering the bonus damage (#6), the game considers summoned NPCs to be companions; this includes minions, and those produced by sigils, (if any) or various consumables.

• However, animal companions only count when they are neither dead nor melded.

it's listed as a summoned being, so yes it's supposed to work with illusions.

Unless it's been changed recently the 6th tier does not apply to minions, I've tried.

My apologies I just looked at the rune . I tried Soulbeast and it didnt work. Guess companion is different then pet.
