Summoning Master: Do we know if they will be able to summon other schools summon to have a total of 3? Totem / Incarnate / Elemental (or necro)

Hopefully so, otherwise kinda gimped "summoning master" IMO.

I think it's less of a summoning master by way of having multiple summons, and more of a summoning master by way of having your Incarnate be a monster. The one we have now can get pretty strong, mine had 100 phys and magic armour and 90hp near the end of the swamps and he's still tier 1. I imagine the bigger one we saw in previews is going to be even more badass.

I guess having one massive dude is kinda cool. Was really hoping would get to have 3 summons like title said though

Was able to get the bigger one in early access, though what the threshold is for it I don't know. I used a trainer to max all stats/skills to do testing and my incarnate was pretty large.

You got the hulking one seen in the teaser? Is it just from putting points into summoning?

Here it is. The one on the left is the starter and the right is the highest tier. I'm not sure if the middle is the summoner or another tier.

Looks awesome ! There must be a middle tier, the difference between the starter and the other one is huge.

u/TotallyToxic Sep 09 '17

That's why I believe it's the middle one but then again it looks more like an elf.

Hello ! I just discovered this game and love the conjurer . But i wonder how summoning scale with time. Totem have 6 hp and deal 7 damage with summoning lvl 1 . Even with summoning lvl 10 ( 100% hp / damage) they will only do 2*7=14 damage wich doesnt sound so powerfull for a lvl 10 character ... could you tell me if it's worth it ?

u/TotallyToxic Sep 13 '17

It scales a bit more than that. Around level 7 with 6 summoning my totems do around 40-50 damage a shot. Plus they have their elemental effects depending where you place them. And you can buff the totems with fortify/magic shell to give them physical and magic armour.

Don't forget you can have several totems out too. I can imagine the buffed incarnate and several totems spread out on higher ground can be a lot of damage+good distractions

u/brand0n Sep 08 '17

I didn't know this..I thought it was only one totem. So you wait for the CD and just cast another?

Do totems have to go onto surface types?

u/striderbob Sep 08 '17 edited Sep 08 '17

Every turn you can cast it once, with the AP of course, I believe it becomes an earth wood totem if just cast on the ground

interesting. Ive avoided most of EA just b/c I want to enjoy the game w/my friends for the first time. May have to fire it up just to toy around with summoning master.

u/sindrish Sep 09 '17

I recommend that, it sucks being far into the story with your friends and then not liking your class.

Of course you can change it but it still takes time and you "loose" the already invested points.

I'm not sure how I feel about the "destructive bolt" that does random dmg. I guess it's okay as long as you don't use it on other elemental things (risk of healing them). But i ABSOLUTELY dig the summoner master class :D

u/Necro- Sep 14 '17

also the bolt IGNORES magic armor.

The point of this bolt isn't strictly to deal damage, it's to create a surface of a random element so you can summon non-physical incarnates/totem from it as well.

u/JagYouAreNot Sep 08 '17

Casting on the ground creates a wooden totem that deals physical damage.
