As a witch doctor, does intelligence influence how much damage my minions do?

Question

I'm wondering, specifically because of the "Soul Harvest" ability. The ability harvests the souls of up to 5 surrounding enemies, upping your intelligence by 28 (at the base level) for each one. This means that right now, I can quadruple my intellgence for 30 seconds by using that skill.

Does that mean that I quadruple the damage bonus that my hounds and spiders receive, too? Or do they receive no bonus from intelligence at all?

Answer

Your hounds and spiders do damage based on your current DPS, which is influenced by your intelligence. Soul Harvest will increase all of your damage output as a Witch Doctor, from all of your spells.

It really wouldn't be very good otherwise.
