Almost all classes are represented by some type of summoning stone. I'm looking for a paragon summoning stone, with a shout or chant. Oh and craftable would be devine.
No love for the Para's

Trying to get the celestial monkey is like trying to get a q9 crystaline from the zaishen chest.

Yes! Quite odd...
peopel will be saying "no moar stones" but i can't help think the birthday will bring stuff like this. I've also just noticed there are 12 celestials and 12 profffesions

Add a "Dhumm" like boss at the end of FoW and add a Paragon summoning stone to the FoW chest???

Arduin · Feb 21, 2011, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Will probably be added with the Paragon balance update.

I like when things are 'even'.

There are summoning stones for each EotN reputation, for Luxon, for Kurzick, for the core elite missions, for the battle isles...

But where are the Lightbringer, Sunspear and elite summoning stones?

Lightbringer could summon a djinn, sunspear 3 random sunspear soldiers, and elite a monolith.

yeah, only it's going to be in GW2 and called the Guardian.

I want a para update so badly I can taste it, but I just don't see it happening. I think the Derv update was the last major rework.

Maybe some tweaked kindness to elementalists so they can do HM, and that's about it.

Celestial Monkey is crap unless you consider Signet of Synergy's 70ish heal every 10 seconds decent. It doesn't have a condition for disrupting throw either and Mighty Throw/Unblockable Throw are shoddy. The sole reason for it to exist is Wild throw.

Considering you are allowed 1 summon, I'd think Gaki is best.
* Ghostmirror Light (lame, but still better than Signet of Synergy)
* Mend Body and Soul (use with SoS hero for -3 conditions)
* Recuperation
* Vengeful Weapon
* Weapon of Shadow

Siege turtle for offense:80 dmg AoE + Healing Spring (57HP)

Juggenaut: 5s knockdown, 1energy regen

Oni: Jagged strike, Fox Fangs, Horns of the Ox

Snowman: 10s daze, 50DPS,AOE cripple

There needs to be a Paragon summon with something like Ballad of Restoration + Song of Restoration + Wild Throw
GTFE+SYG+Fall back! are better off on heroes.

Mia Clemons · Feb 22, 2011, 05:52 AM // 05:52

The reason for no paragon summoning stones?......Paragons fail. In my opinion, the Paragon was Anet's way of saying: "shoot, we forgot to give warriors a spear"

I would rather Anet focus on making Paragons actually USEFUL outside of Imbagon. Make Spears do like 25% armor penetration and up the damage. So if your wondering why no paragon stones...thats why.

Dream Rider is by far the best summon, with gaki second.

Also, Celestial Monkey doesn't have any shouts or chants!

I'd love one with Incoming, Fall Back, Find their Weakness, Burning Refrain, and GFTE!

Unless you don't run a gimmick build and use a mesmer hero with much better tab than Dream Rider. Gaki ftw.

Hyperventilate · Feb 23, 2011, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I have to agree that the gaki stone is the best stone out there... it's a pretty competent healer and, well, it's a gaki.

Personally, I'm so tired and fed up with summoning stones. I used them while vanquishing but for the most part I never touch them otherwise.

There are too many versions and two many types out there to make them unique anymore.

No more summoning stones, please. Q_Q

LifeInfusion · Feb 24, 2011, 12:42 AM // 00:42

The dream rider is better to sell to people that want to buy them.
