Summoner Class Discussion

[TaigaUC]

I kinda prefer Myau over what we're getting for Summoner :/

The other thing about the Summoner pets is they kinda look... out of place?
Not just Nyau out of place, but they kinda look like they belong in a PS2 cartoony animal platformer or something.

Get ready to learn some Harry Potter spells.

I predict sunshine and positivity for this thread.

I only hope that weapon camos affect the summons rather than only the weapons. Actually, do you think the summons would have este?

[Gamemako]

Wasn't expecting a new class, and was disappointed just the same. Generic concept and out-of-place designs. The total lack of sci-fi influence is striking -- this EXACT design, sans ANY changes, could fit in any chibiMMO in the storm. Still no guntecher class. No slicers, shotguns, laser cannons, etc...

Anyway, might as well add some baseless speculation. My completely arbitrary guess is that this is their protranser. Striking dog, ranged bird, tech whatchama nyau-e-mon thingamajigger.

Someone should fabricate an entire skill tree based only on what we have seen.

60 points for pets. 2 bars for each pet, pet bonus A/B/C with Pet Bonus Up A/B/C.

Entire tree boosts pet damage and nothing else, making the class an awful subclass.

Why not both? That would be kinda cool.

I'm really worried this might be the case.
Or rather, it'll turn into ep 2 hunter where you need 90% of the sp to boost your pet dmg to even make it worthwhile and then have like 5 points left for the skills that have synergy with other classes.

Skilltree

That looks awfully realistic.
Though if it got dex and a mag skill it's gonna be a hybrid
Either way, I'm sure it's gonna be a mess with either too few skills so lvl 75 with both 5spcos done you're gonna be dumping 10+ points into dex or cause there is nothing else left or more likely each pet gets its own sp cost tree and you can only max one and boost the other halfway before your sp run out.

If the owner is vulnerable while the pet attacks, there should be some sort of pet aggro up skill. In expense of something... max HP perhaps?

That makes no sense. You want the pet to grab aggro for survivability so reducing your survivability to boost your survivability is silly.
If, then it would be more likely to reduce dmg or something else that's not making you more fragile.
Though in the trailer the pet had ALL the aggro. It was just a couple of enemies and the only 1 player but maybe this means pets get lots of aggro by default already.

Considering that they are running out of ideas for Stances watch Summoners stances just be "Boss Stance" and "Enemy Stance"

Lmao
But tbh this would be amazing. Certainly far better than "if the enemy turns 1° you're fucked stances" and "works a bit on some bosses and partially on 5% of all enemies" + "go full rainbow or GTFO, MATE" stances

PS: the green pet thing reminds me of a Carbuncle. Fits with Sega calling this Reborn Episode 4 in order to make people think about FFXIV.
