Curse

Sorry Ian Savage... I wanted to make my own version of the summoner.

Summoner
If you want to know the background of a summoner, see Ian Savage's concept class, the summoner.

New Concepts
Netherworld Portals-Netherworld portals are portals to (what else) the Netherworld, in which you can summon creatures which exist there.

Summons-Summons are kind of like a necromancer's minions, or a ritualist's spirits, except they deal more damage, have more evasion, etc. They take energy like enchantment maintenance does, 1 energy pip. They cannot be stripped like enchantments, however, but you can see what summons you are maintaining and dismiss them when you please.

Joint Spells-Spells that must be cast with a certain summon nearby. (if nearby is wrong, then the one bigger than adjacent.)

Portal Spells-Spells that create a portal. Portal require energy maintenance, but cannot be stripped, but can be closed.

Equipment
You know the usual. AL=60.
Armor=Robe.
Weapon=Wand.
Off-Hand=Focus.
Energy=normal level for casters (don't ask me because I have an ele).
Health=480 at lvl 20.

Attributes-lol they have stupid names...

Summoning Power(P)-Many skills, especially those related to casting joint spells with your summons(basically, you can cast joint spells with your summons that deal quite a bit of damage.), become more effective with higher summoning power. Your skills also cost 1% less energy for each rank in this attribute.

Summoning Skill-Many skills, especially those related to summoning creatures, become more effective with higher summoning power.

Netherworld Control-Many skills, especially those related to controlling the Netherworld, become more effective with higher Netherworld control.

Summoning Enhancement-Many skills, especially those related to boosting your summoning power and increasing your summons' effectiveness, become more powerful with higher summoning enhancement.

Skill Examples

Basicly a Minionmaster with stronger minions...

Cjlr · Aug 07, 2006, 04:02 PM // 16:02

So... you made a Summoner outline, and didn't even include any summons?

Oh good, there's some up now.

unholy guardian · Aug 07, 2006, 04:16 PM // 16:16

allowance is BoTm except.. pretty much better i think.

I thought when i first read this, ah another rit like thing, after reading it i got the idea you are one unhappy mm

It needs more originality, rework it and i am sure it will be awesome.

Ian Savage · Aug 07, 2006, 06:10 PM // 18:10

thx for the recognition, thats one thing i didnt expect to get. if you really like the idea of a summoner, you can find my concept here. its been changed/developed some since the first post, so plz read all before replying. anyways, runeseeker, in my opinion, you're meshing old ideas together for this one. thats not nessecarily a bad thing, but try thinking outside the box. first of all, make the primary attribute unique. the way yours stands, theres no point in being a summoner primary. it is cookie-cutter ritualist primary. dont do that. next, you need a 5th attribute. i somewhat doubt, that if this class is based on summoning, that there will be few actual summon skills. as a result, most of the space in each of your attributes will be taken up by the summons themselves. that one's just opinion, but it really is up to you.
looking at your skills, i can see the origin without trying. they're all basically skills from other profs with redone names and stats. make it original man! no one wants to play a combination of a necro, ritualist, ranger and mesmer, because it does all of those things, therefore not specializing in anything. its tempting to steal from A-Nets well designed skills, but try not to plz.
there's my 2 cents. this literally is an mm with unique creatures.

runeseeker1 · Aug 07, 2006, 06:22 PM // 18:22

Lol thanx for the input ill try to incorporate as much as i can.

Oh and the thing for the many summons.... there are only like...6.
You're obviously not going to use as many. You'll probably have 2 or 3, with a joint attack or 2 maybe, and an energy management skill, and secondary profession stuff.

Oh and ill probably add more healing summons for those who want to go supportive...

Cjlr · Aug 07, 2006, 08:19 PM // 20:19

It's not bad, but I can see you having real problems if you tried to get it to anything approaching 75 skills.
