Is it better to go with +1 wands or wands with very high minion damage and +5% chance to deal double damage?

neither, get wands like in my profile and use avian aspect for minion DD

Your enfeeble gem is not active (too high level).
Also, can recommend getting Skeleton 21/0 instead of the 20/18 you have. Easy cheap extra dmg.

Would you recommend Multistrike over Ruthless for single target dmg? And thanks for your thourough comment!

Multistrike, it is almost 10% more damage. And both skills suffer from same "penalty", require multiple hits to deliver bonus damage, which means none has advantage over each other mechanically. Just raw average dps over 3 hits is relevant and multistrike wins.

As for other awakened gems lets sum this up (current prices):

- awakened melee physical - biggest dps upgrade (~13% including intimadate) - 11,5ex
- awakened multistrike - +8% vs normal multistrike, ridiculous price and rarity 60ex
- awakened minion damage - +<3% for 5,2ex, same as aweken melee phys without intimidate
- awakened brutality +3% for 5ex
- awakened melee splash 80c - single target stays same, area damage very small upgrade, but it gains 10% inc aoe and ~15% more splash area, which is quite nice for this price

Another thing worth mentioning. These gems take longer to level than empower.. so count that in. At level 1 most of them are not an upgrade at all. If you don't play a lot it will take forever to get them to level 5.

Can you guys check out my gear and tell me how good/bad my gear is and see what my next 3 big upgrades should be? Right now I did all maps from T1-3 with ease.

4.7k life, 315es, 1.7k mana

That sword is useless for minion build, it doesn't give anything to the minions. That's the first thing to replace. Get a minion wand or at least some cheap substitute with +1 to all spell gems.

Also - I've noticed that you don't have a Spectre gem.
2x Carnage Chieftains (frenzy charges generator for your minions) + 1 Host Chieftain (power charges generator for your minions) give min. ~30-40% MORE damage. So that's a must for this build.

Also you're not using Desecrate to generate corpses before cwdt triggers spirit offering. Get rid of Enfeeble, get Desecrate.
