Better Haunted Visions - Replicate any skill

[Isend-2850]

Simulacrum now drains 1% of your maximum life every second and lasts forever. They can now duplicate Grim Scythe instead of Skeletal Mage any skill.

Explainer
Since 2.6.9+ Haunted Visions amulet allows 100% uptime on Simulacrum (great feature by the way), we should push this further and allow Simulacrums to replicate any skill:

• Bone Spikes : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Bone Spear
• Grim Scythe
• Corpse Explosion : 3 explosions per attack
• Skeletal Mage
• Corpse Lance : 3 lances per attack
• Command Skeletons : Up to 21 skeletons
• Siphon Blood : See Better Siphon Blood link below for synergies
• Death Nova
• Command Golem : 3 Golems / See Better Decay Golem link below for synergies
• Decrepify : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Devour : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Leech : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Bone Armor : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Army of the Dead : 3 Armies
• Frailty : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Revive : up to 30 minions
• Bone Spirit : 3 Spirits per attack
• Blood Rush : Simulacrums rush while spending their blood (not your blood: it would be unplayable with in-geom)
• Land of the Dead : Cumulate bonuses if ennemies hit intersect
• Simulacrum : Simulacrums cannot duplicate Simulacrum

Special cases

• Auras (Devour, Frailty) : Simulacrums have their own auras.
• Life spent : Simulacrums spend their blood, in order to keep the game enjoyable
• Devour + Pestilence : Simulacrums consuming corpses trigger all Pestilence bonuses

Examples with Runes

• Grim Scythe / Frost Scythe : Up to 45% Attack speed
• Command Golem / Flesh Golem : 24 Corpses
• Bone Armor / Harvest of Anguish : Up to 30% Speed
• Siphon Blood / Drain Life : Up to 12% Life
• Frailty / Scent of Blood : Up to 45% increased minion damage bonus
• Frailty / Early Grave : Kill ennemies with life below 54%
• Decrepify / Borrowed Time : Up to 60% cooldown reduction

Cherry on the cake
If no Rune is selected, Simulacrums use a random rune at each attack. Can be very fun (ex: Land of Dead, Corpse Lance)
