Summoning Stones: My new addiction!

wts 60 automaton gole summon tonic bshit!

60 mins time limit,
noty




or is it 30?

I must admit that I love the new summoning stones too.
For me it started with the imp. He helped make Charr farming in pre so much easier. But it isn't really the easy thing that I love. It's that they are a pet for all the cool creatures that you can't get a pets - and without needing a ranger secondary.

My favourite, the glacial summoning stone. I loved this monster (and I can't spell it's name), and now having one bounding along in my party - regardless of how long it lives or how useful it is - is a novelty I won't tire of any time soon.

And yes, I think we will see everlasting/perma forms of these stones at least from the zchest, and I'm not even sure we will have to wait for May. I would pay serious money for an everlasting glacial.

I look at them as I do consets, making the game more about cash and time spent instead of skill.

I havent used any for the same reason, and from what I have read and heard others say, theres also the issue of them not getting a slot on the party screen and the monks are having to "litterally" target the sommoned thing to keep it healed...unlike the rest of the party.
And I have also heard that the hero monks wont heal them at all unless you hit the skills for them on the summoned things.
So until that issue is proven wrong, or fixed...whichever the case may be, Im not wasting my money on them.
In the mean time, I hope everyone has a great time with them. I love the idea of them, and I do look forward to seeing them in action one day.

I think they should implement more everlasting summoning stones into the game. If a person really wants one they would buy enough for it to last the entire game and would make the game more interesting. They clearly have no problem with making one (case of the fire imp) so. I would definately not have anymore healing problems with a gaki on my side.

waste of inv space

I personaly loved the idea, and was eager to the get a few. That's until I found out they were a one time use only. Waste of money, won't buy them.

But ... But that would be new highend thing actually worth getting.

- Rules get broken time and time again. This is nowhere close to what the game used to be three years ago. When a mission is designed to average balanced party of 8 players, what's the big idea that players should be able to swarm theirs summons, bypass tactical finesse with imbalanced skills and buff levels above 20 with consumables, shrines, etc.? Do you guys remember when there were armors that gave bonuses like +15 versus cold damage? Rangers had to bring Winter to Ring of Fire missions with fire nukers. What difference does it make when you slap +100 armor on top of anything? Bosses kill themselves in seconds with Pain Inverter. These summons are nothing but novelty. "Why not?". Just some extra nudge to widen the gap between player and enemy teams.

meh, the golem stones kind of put a bad taste in my mouth. He dies within seconds of being summoned. Im not enthusiastic about the new ones but i may get around to trying them out.

go go go Pikachu ~~

The Gaki summon is beast! Downside is he like to run to melee for some reason when i use him. So i think he just winds up healing himself, but i busted him out in HM versus some destroyers and he just tanked them and then we proceed to continue rolling the rest of the mission.

The juggernaut doesn't have anymore skills cuz he just runs around kd'ing people for 5s. for 5s! If he somehow gets on a monk its just gg.

Gaki and Juggernaut are my favorites so far. Haven't gotten a hold of the Oni yet.

The fact that the raptor can solo shiro is pretty epic though.

They all still blow the golem out of the water. He sucks nuts. I used one everytime i zoned just to get rid of em.

u allways talk a shit.
allways

Love you too!
*send hands-free hugs and air-kisses*

So you are saying that you like the idea of summoning something and then not being able to use it again for 60 minutes?
Great, I don't.

That's why you party with other humans, darling.

If SY! didn't make me want to party with others - I doubt this will.
Besides - you are still limited to just one summon at any given time. And it's not like this rule makes them ANY less imbalanced.
I'd LOVE to use them (especially since minions and rituals are one of my favorite game mechanics!) - but the way that they are implemented does nothing for me.

i gotta get me a S-Turtle i can see how uber they are O_O ooze are helpful for a SH nuker in pve imo.

the siege turtels are awesom =D

I would use them if they were infinite. Raise the cost to make them and give them an insane cool down (a few hours) and I'd use them but I can't afford to pay a few platinum every 30mins (or till they die) and I refuse to waste time I could spend having fun by farming for the next summon.
