    I can hardly sleep waiting for the Summoner. Y'all be kneeling at Jobbaner's imaginary feet soon enough!

    Same. Summoner and Ranger are my favorite classes to play.

    I've been waiting a long time to play a real archer. I'm not a huge pet fan, but I may try the Summoner anyway. Can't hurt.

    I am just wondering how I call my ranger: wormfood, deadagain ? Any suggestions :)

    A quite a few Summoners out there.

    I'm enjoying the class. I haven't played in any groups yet as i've been working on all the crafting options and i'm only level 6.

    How is the dps side of things in groups?

    Surely if I play a mage class it will be SMN.

    I love the ambivalency of different pets offering different roles to the class itself. I just hope the gameplay revolves more about buffing / synergizing with your pet rather than sitting and doing poor nukes every other then, because if the pet is truly (as a DPS) 80% of your damage, there is a risk their spells are not tuned to be significant.

    Let's hope that isn't the case. We are a dps class and our pets are the bulk of our damage.

     

    SMN? suck my nipples?

    Summoner is turning out to be rather lackluster.  Lack of nukes, where is the fire?  Where is the magma?  You want me to throw rocks at the mob my entire career?  Where is the ability to control the elements? Now if you gave us fire to play with, I would be more interested.

    I am sure more is coming as the summoner levels up. Most classes build out to level 20+. Not all spells are in the Game. Welcome to early access:)

    You should probably consider all classes about 25% complete at this point. Classes have a good solid skeleton, some more than others, but there is a lot more to be implemented and tweaked before release.

    There are sure to be new spells and new balances between spells and pets.

    Enjoy the ride!

    I dont know if its me or if the human NPCs were buffed but a blue con Thug destroys the pet in seconds at level 6.  I am also disappointed that I cannot arm my pet with the spare weapons I pick up.  It seems weird to include inventory slots when you cannot equip anything on the pet.

    Now, if that's a feature for later on, then give us a message or something telling us in-game. (Your pet cannot wield this item until "level *"). 

    Also, are there off-hands for casters in the game?  What about foci?  Pet Foci would be really cool, either craftable or lootable to increase you pet's stats/performance. 

    I find my shaman is better at soloing than my Summoner hands down.

    Thugs have been changed to group mobs (note the chevron (^) on their target plates), so yeah soloing them when they're dark blue will be very difficult to impossible.

    is there other toggle commands to turn off pet taunt?

    @Callixtus

    Summoner will eventually be able to summon weapons & armor for their pet. I don't believe they will be able to use regular, PC type weapons.

    @Jothany

    So, similar to EQ (except for the wielding of any weapon.)  Gotcha!  :)

    @Zevuus I don't believe so, at least I have not found one, sadly. Althoug you can turn off the "Grapple" ability on the Titan to make it agro less.

    Quick question.  The summoned armor, will that eventually be displayed on the pet?

     

    Cheers,

    Pet armor has been far enough in the future that it has never been shown (or discussed) as far as I know. That would be a great question to ask Joppa in one of his streams.

    I asked Joppa on the stream from 2024-09-30 and he did confirm that armor will be visible and as Summoners level, the armor will change as will the pet size (somewhat).

    For those interested, the timestamp is around 01:11:00 into the stream.

    So good news!
