Got it covered. Testing below. Editing my opinion in my post above (ever so slightly).

Biggest nugget:
- Simulacrum Grim Scythe attacks with Leger’s Disdain + Haunted Visions are based on Minimum weapon damage range.
Also:
- Confirmed Simulacrum’s always benefit from Leger’s Disdain multiplier. (more on that below)
EDIT: Continuing:
- Simulacrum attack speed scales with your own FPA / attack speed breakpoint.
- Simulacrums can critically strike. This means each hit from a simulacrum has a chance to CRIT separately.
- Simulacrums can proc area damage.
- Simulacrums do not benefit from Enforcer (legendary gem) damage multiplier.
- +Max Essence (paragon or passive or Reservoir rune) does not change your Grim Scythe damage value or your Simulacrum’s Grim Scythe damage value.
- For the player’s Grim Scythe damage, Leger’s is pure bit logic based on if the player is at max essence or not.
- If current essence is not equal to maximum essence, Leger’s is applied as a multiplier.
- If current essence is equal to maximum essence, then Leger’s is not applied as a multiplier.
- Simulacrums are always allowed the Leger’s Disdain multiplier, even if the player is at full essence.
- For the player’s Grim Scythe damage, Leger’s is pure bit logic based on if the player is at max essence or not.
