Summon Infernal Hound is a minion skill granted by the Infernalist ascendancy notable Loyal Hellhound that allows the player to summon a Hellhound that ignites enemies and redirect a portion of damage taken by the player onto itself.

Mechanics

Summon a Reviving Infernal Hound which Ignites enemies near it. The Hound takes a portion of damage from Hits for you.

Skill functions and interactions

Damage Redirection: While the Infernal Hound is alive, 20% of damage taken by the player from Hits is redirected to the Infernal Hound. This property is granted by the Loyal Hellhound ascendancy notable.

Ignite Aura: Minions Ignite Enemies within a radius of 1.5 metres as though dealt Base Fire Damage equal to 20% of Minion's Maximum Life.

This is identical to the effect granted by Infernal Legion without the drawback of taking 20% of Maximum Life in Fire Damage per second.
Summon Infernal Hound can be supported by Infernal Legion, but this grants no additional benefit and adds the side-effect of the Hound taking Fire Damage per second.
Meat Shield does not decrease the Ignite damage which makes it a highly recommended Support gem.
The area of effect can be scaled with Magnified Effect and passives that scale Minion Area of Effect.
Fire Exposure support will cause the Ignite Aura to inflict Fire Exposure on affected enemies.
