There must be something worth sticking in there. What do you guys think?

Res jewel? Mal for prevent monster heal? Io for 10 vitality? Hell, I could throw a Tir in there for +2 mana after each kill. Eth's -25 to target defese wouldn't extend to my minions, would it? I'm a summoner, obviously. I could throw an Ist in for the hell of it, but I'm not a mf character. What else would be worth putting in there?

Nope, only for you when you're swinging (as if you're ever going to swing that thing). Same goes for PMH.

Tir for some mana refill after CE's perhaps, or a res jewel, or a life/mana jewel.

smartest thing to put there would be +res jewel. It doesnt seem like you're going to be switching it for beast or anything, and you can never have too much res afterall. Mal is pretty pointless since the only things you actually need PMH for you probably will never hit.

I socketed mine with a +15 resist all/+20 life jewel. Works fine.

Either Res All or Ist for more MF %

if you're not mf to start with, dont ist it, 100 mf from ist and enigma wont make that much of a difference.

Well how 'bout 240ish mf if I Ist my Homunculus too, + Shako and some random Gheed's? I guess 300 is the minimum goal for a mf character, but given that my necromancer isn't, 240ish seems pretty good with non-mf gear and 39, 69, 39, 39 resists in Hell.

well, depending on how you play, i'd say you get max resists. Teleport makes people cocky and they tend to get hit even amongst their 30 ~ 40 minions. If you like, drop a few summon gcs and go for a few 7% mfscs. That's an easy 300 mf and a character powerful enough to solo hell with.

If this is for PvM and not Über-killing, I'll say just let it stay as-is. You should not need anything from it. However, if you are determined to stick something in there (no jokes please), I'll say +resistances jewel or IST rune is your best bet.

I've recently decided to go with Beast as an alternative, so I s'pose it's not an issue anymore. Might as well Um my Homunculus instead then. Thanks.
