Is aura stacking minions still worth using ?

So this was a build i played in the past and it seems like the numbers are still good. The main thing i found was the massive amount of defence in the build.

The build would use items like

• alphas howl
• Prism Guardian
• shavs
• Ashes of the Stars

I think with really high investment you could drop prism guardian and shavs and go CI but that seems really high end gear.

This then lets you slap a whole load of aura's using both life and mana possibly 10+. With the necro ascendency for Commander of Darkness this also gives our minions 3% increased Attack and Cast Speed for each aura we have.

We are also running loads of aura's to make our minions more tanky (like purity's) and also do more damage (haste , pride).

However im not sure if with the aura effect nerfs from a while ago this style of build would be worse than just going necro with 4 Carrion golems + cold iron points. Last time i played this build you got to 90% ele res and loads of armour and evasion from determination and grace and that layer of crazy defence i found hard to achieve on other minion builds.

This is a super simple quick example of the idea. This is without any clusters but shows the general idea. We can hit 84% ele res and 20k armour and 20k evasion so that seems nice.
