Let's have a Lich Minion Build Discussion

I'm just looking for some good ol' fashioned build experiences and ideas. I'm only a pup with my lvl 83 Lich. She's just starting to come into her own. I'm curious to get thoughts on support gems for minions.

Currently running a chaos damage lich with typical cultist archer setup with snipers. Trash skellies for meat-shields. I'm running some janky chaotic freeze setup on my effigy and those Sine Aequo gloves for quick freezes. Anyway, I see lots of builds running scatter shot. I gotta say, I don't think I need it. At least it doesn't feel that way, and I rely on feel just as much as the tooltip. Cultists seem to hit their targets with pods regularly. Snipers...I just spam poison clouds. I'm still experimenting. I do have Despair on self cast so burning inscription is an option for those noice poison cloud pops.

Currently I just run:
1. Cultist Archers: Conc effect, mag effect, ingenuity, muster
2. Snipers: Corrosion, Comorbidity, Swift Aff, Glaciation (for clear- swap out a damage gem for bosses)

Oh, and I just snagged "It That Hates" as a spectre from a breach. It is easily the coolest spectre I've tried. It's 100 spirit. It has this full time chaos aura around it (still not quite sure what it does, fires chaos lasers, and leaps onto enemies punching violently left, right, left, right. It's great. lol

Look forward to hearing any other minion builds/ideas/setups!

I run as many storm mages I can.. 2-3 clerics 2 frost mages.(for bombs) don't remember the support gems but for damage. Its all there I made a hybrid build out of 3 top meta builds.

curse conductivity
Weapon swap for Sigil of Power to make everyone beefed up, I also took lots of area of presence in the passives. Current clearing 16s but got to hide from the crit damage mod.

High energy shield build capped resists, well over capped by 1 for passive point.

I did Maxroll Raxx Chaos Lich end game and it has been fine. Is it OP and you are invinsible or insta-kill bosses, no, but it is a pretty safe build for mapping.

No minions though
