Summoner build is viable now but needs lv 30 to work

[newmart]

I've tried mage and druid summoner builds and they are completely viable now, and actually the better way to play Primal now.

They are not much different from standard caster build, people say that summons needs a lot investiment but its really one heroic feat and a epic feat. Harper enhancements are not all that necessary, but druid physical resistance for pet and skelly in pale master are mandatory. THey are not useless since they also gives bonus too you (3 spellpower and 15 physical ressitance).

Up to lv 24 its better to not invest much besides augument summoning. But after improved augument summoning their tankness raises considerably (also stacking epic summon buff) and finally at lv cap that comes the really big investment: Scion of Elysium or not.

It is mostly a matter of choice if u want that pets tank for u or um get more damage and dc. Bear in mind that its possible to have Wolf, a summon and a Dryad. For a short time, u can even have 2 dryad and she does not despawn summons or the other dryad.

Living meteor has the best Dps of all sumons by large margin, has srong cc via cometfall and thematically fits fire options in primal. Gargoyle is the most tanky. At low hp enters in cocoon mode like ordinary gargoyles, becoming even more resistant, and regenerate all hp.

Lich can land some webs and uses Ghoul touch when attacked by melee. Both have dc to work R3 i've seen so far. For artificers Golem is a obviously choice, but the type of golem is random. Iron golem can be pretty tanky too plus all repair u can do on him.

Also, now its easier to get Epic Wolf Whistle, i got one and i dont know if its intended but currently, the Epic Thaarak Hound DO NOT REMOVE YOUR CURRENT SUMMON (please devs do not change THAT!) . So now u can have up to 5 pets during figths. Thaarak uses phantasmal killer a lot with astronomical DC (Like u dream Lich will be someday)

Druid is best suitted for the use of Scion of Elysium because of Pack spell, that has no CD and provokes a intimi check with +20 bonus drawing agro to pets. Never saw this fail.

On the other hand, since they are tanking to you u can be more offensive in your gear, what offsets the feat investiment.

U better see yourselves.
