can you chek where i put points wrong ? i have really low dps on bosses with my minions
You have not put that many points in the passive tree nor the skill spec tree into damage with the exception of Unholy Rage and Necrotic Conviction and Dread Phalanx (for the Summon Skeleton).
Dread Phalanx is not an overall damage increase generally speaking.
You should get rid of Drad Phalanx unless you are aiming for a very specific build utilizing that.
Especially on the passive tree you can take a lot more offensive stuff like Intelligence, Minion Damage or Minion Attack Speed: e.g. Dark Rituals, Blood Aura, Forbidden Knowledge, Risen Army, Cursed Blood
On top of that you have not chosen the minions with the best damage output.
Both Skeletons and Golem are versatile, but do not excel at pure damage.
Hungerign Souls also is not that great if you don’t use it in certain ways. if you want to havew an active skill while your minions do the work Rip Blood would be a much better support skill.
If you really like Hungerign Souls you should definitely spec into the minion portion of it. (Bottom middle part: Grave Bond, Necromantic Emanation)
On top fo all taht you are just level 24, most builds do not greatly differ at that point, because you don’t have that many skill points, passive or gear pieces giving you huge amounts of bonuses.

i rechanged my points in the passive to minion damage and i dont see much dps change but see how it feel on a boss
did you resummon your minions are doing these changes?
Minions snapshot stats when summoned
i took a screenshot here
What Heavy was asking is that after you made the changes, did you unsummon and then resummon your minions. If you didn’t then they are still using the points you had before the change. You have to resummon then to make them use your changes.

oh thank you i will try that
being a Necromancer and not using Skeletal mages? It is a crime imo 
Hungering Souls are not minions so they gain zero benefit from your minions stats on gear / passives
how do i get Skeletal mages
Once you get your necromancer mastery, you invest 5 passives points in the necromancer passive tree. You are now able to specc into skeleton mage.
I am a little bit scared by that question.
He is clearly very new to the game/genre & so needs (a lot of) assistance. May also be some lamguage differences as well.
Your build is half Minion and half Caster. That rarely works, if ever. Typically you need to go all-in on your Minions or have none at all. And also Dread Shade skill is just too good for a Minion build not to use.
I recommend (as a quick fix to try)…
Switch your Skeletons to Archers and take every skill node that gives +1 Skeleton
Take every passive node that gives +1 Skeleton
Drop Hungering Souls, Rip Blood and Harvest
Take Skeleton Mages and set them all to be either Fire or Cold based (and ranged only)
Take Volatile Zombies
Take Dread Shade
Try to get as many “Minion” affixes onto your gear as you can. Avoid anything that buffs YOU (other than defensive things)…. you will be doing nothing significant damage-wise; the Minions do all the work and you control and buff them.
