Just wanted to see what you think about it… Do you use it with the transmuter and do you find it useful for your build?
:eek:
Playing pet builds with arcanists lmao.
That is exactly why I’m asking this… do people even bother using it at all? Because it would be nice if that transmuter added Aether damage to IEE instead. :undecided:
Yes, I know this thread is old, but still fits I’d say.
BTT
It’s sadly not worth it or useful at all. And hell I tried, as I love the base idea behind it.
But the possible elemental damage one can bring to minions is way too low, and the IEE-amount alone doesn’t help there at all, as well as the combined 55-60% conversion of IEE gimps it even more. Let alone the fact that most summons have damage types that aren’t affected by the conversion like the Briarthorns pierce.
So… we have a low amount… of a niche damage kind… that is only partially applied… on a very narrow selection of entities…
Sadly, there are not much items that bolster that style either.
To have it’s use at all it IMHO needs 2 things:
-> at least 1 or 2 more viable summon options with a good chunk of elemental dmg
Something like boosting the savage relic to be of more use than just the summon alone, plus also boosting that a bit. And additionally maybe something like summoning one of these gazers. (that could be a nice MI-rare > makes the gazer eyes worth using)
-> most probably a semi new mechanic like “Pets scale with player elemental damage bonus”
Pretty much needed, as a flat, skillable value (+50% pet dmg / -50% player dmg for example) could be otherwise exploited by other classes by simply not attacking at all themselves.
