Minions deal 48% more Damage
Minions have 48% more Attack Speed
Minions deal 126 to 184 additional Physical Damage

Anyway, I'm going to place a firm opinion here that impale and physical versions of the build are going to be worse, and start to really suffer on entering red maps when enemies have reasonable armor ratings.

The ONLY reason to go physical rather than elemental is if you want to do the build with Champion ascendancy and are consciously making a tradeoff of higher defenses for lower DPS.

You are heavily overestimating the impact of armor on damage. The damage reduction is way too low even with like 100k armor, and it can be completely negated with supports. The champion ascendancy has also zero synergy with physical minions which he doesn't have with elemental minions.

Finally, the scaling of the cold build and the physical build is around the same, with physical having an easier time around sockets.

I'll try answering.

Physical scales Impale. Which is a very good multiplier. However ever since GGG implemented Impale, they silent nerfed it by stacking a lot more armour on bosses. Cold Iron Point daggers is the defacto weapon for physical, leveraging it we lose some QoL of autocasting Bladefall thru a desecrate trigger wand. Phys reflect maps will be slightly annoying to deal with. The cost of Phys is basically losing quality of life and potentially a shield if you choose to dual wield daggers for damage.

Elemental conversion scales with Triad Grip and Hatred. Most bosses have a flat 40% elemental resist which can be easily reduced to 0. We also gain access to the overpowered keystone Elemental Equilibrium. Ele reflect maps is going to be a pain to deal with. The cost of going Ele is basically sacrificing glove slot(using 4 green sockets is not hard) and having a 50% reserved aura but being able to wield a wand and shield.
