Raise Skeletons, other minion summons and auto-cast

Lets be honest, resummoning minions is not that fun.
If those skills were toggles, or turn into toggle skills via a transmuter, I would be very happy for that piece of QoL.

Well I’m sorry to say that if you don’t enjoy summoning, then playing a summoning class might not be the best idea. There’s no way the skellys etc will ever be put on a self summoning toggle as it would be way OP with guaranteed max summons permanently up.

Haha - that commercial was awesome. Her voice delivered that line perfectly.

Having an auto-summon defeats the fun and stress of being a summoner. Having the control to see your skeletons rise from the ground is the joy of working with the dead.

I don’t mind most summons as it is, my only gripe is how with the new bonus summon effects (for example, summon two familiars, summon skeletons, or two briar thorn) you have to cast the summon multiple times and wait for the cooldown each time. It along with recasting buffs per session makes it very kind of mechanical feeling whenever you start. Basically just reserving sometimes an entire row of buffs that are only on your bar because you need to recast them each and every time you login.

I agree, especially with the skeletons, but I wonder if this happens so the player is punished if they forget to buff/rebuff, and regarding pets (skeletons mainly) I think it may be overwhelmingly player advantage if they were to summon their entire hoard of pets instantly to block a mob attacking because they were lucky enough to wipe out your group.

Yeah if we could raise all 8 or more skeletons at once it’d be a bit OP even with how quickly they can get wiped out by AOE type attacks. Maybe make it so you hold the skill down sort of as a charge type to allow you to summon more than the base 3 for an added energy cost as a middle ground? Either a flat added cost per group of 3 or a bit more expensive cost than summoning each group of 3 individually which would let you choose between more energy usage for more immediate gain or less energy used for less immediate gain

That’s like saying casting spells in this game isn’t fun and you want an auto-cast so all you have to do is walk around the map while the game plays itself.

I don’t see your reasoning here.

Oh man, best screensaver EVAR! What a great idea! Where’s Bitchachos? He’ll have ideas!
