Favorite Summoner class

General Discussion Started Last reply 42 posts
I saw this in another boards and saw the discussion quite interesting so I'm going to try a few here in the ol L2 boards so...

Vote your favorite Summoner and feel free to discuss why. :)
Warlock, 2 thumbs up, started this one again since my last attempt went sorcerer instead for the simple reasoning of rebuilding my first character I ever made on L2. (parked him at level 64 tho', the sorcerer that is)

Cat herder baby, how awesome is that? Haha.

Seriously now, Ponies are cute ok.. and the summons of PS are cool for the most part but the final one and the tank one are just ... yuck. Anyway overall skill wise too, I like the warlock.
warlock..cuz they cool
love the tanking DE summoner
PS all the way! Dark summons are cool. How can a cute (CUTE) kitty or My Little Pwny* compare to Shadow? He may not be a Beast in terms of power but he sure as hell looks like one. Then there's Soulless (aka Batman)? Awesome... How can you not love a summon that looks like Batman!?

Magnus is pretty awesome but I'd sooner have awesome summons and wait 6 months to a year for a bleh* one (Spectral), than play with crappy ponies while I wait for the big one. King, and Queen Cat are also pretty cool but I'm not a huge fan of human mages. They all look a bit too 'slight'...
Warsmith!
ES
because it can summon quicker when it hits 56 and you stick it in an EXP spot never to leave again.
I really like PS's but I gotta represent myself! Go go ES! :P
Warlock all the way!

Hands down, most awesome summoner class. C'mon, the kitties are so cute! And the queen buff is a great party buff. And King cat has his own sword and amour set! And Kai has cute lil' checkered pants! ^^

So. Awesome.
ES coz they AOE pretty cool ^^
Even though I have a PS, I voted ES 'cos they have that summon'ish look about them. Ponies look cool and Magnus is really good.

Orcs with kitties cuter. Pshhhhhh =P

No way, a Nice Big Green orc with a pink unicorn just cries out Manly!!!
My Phantom Summoner isn't high enough level yet for me to make a fair call. I will say that the Warlock is a nice diversion from the other classes that I play.
ES love AOE and i get into tank party in most cases cause i can baby heal in emergency/MP regen Dance and Clarity ftw^^
pony <3
PONY! :)
btw.. also Orc with Pony ;)
yay! I'm glad to see so much love for my class... Now only if I could find an actual party instead of solo'ing... LOL
PS ftw, nightshade is awesome. probably best skill set of all summons, esspecially for solo/pvp.
since I have a PS and it rocks I voted my thing...
yet the ponies are nice too and much better at AoE for faster XP... will get an ES ALT in due time :)
I reckon the warlock is the most powerful, but do not like the look of these cats... if they looked more like tigers or something they would be cool, but now they resemble pokemon ...suitable pets for the ladies only.
Actually, they resemble more things taken out of Alice in Wonderland.
Best Party: 1x Elemental Summoner, 1x Phantom Summoner, 1x Warlock, 1x Warcryer, 1x Eva Saint, 1x Shilien Saint, 1x Bishop, 1x Bladedancer, 1x SwordSinger
Never played any summoner but I think Phantom Summoner is the coolest :D.

I think he said the pet got 3 shotted.

Another thing he could do is use the Nightshade in pvp, it has a bit more pdef, and some nice debuff skills. I think his opponent was way higher than him though.

Nightshade with good buffs is very hard to kill... even without buffs it is still tough

i am using that summon Silhouette...my opponent is my clan mate, he is only like 2 level higher than me.(tyrant)

that was also another thread about summon get kill in 3 hits easily..

Can get up to 1k P.Def and over 850 M.Def (maybe more, I didn't have full buffs on them).

3 Shot by What? Servitors get Chant of Protection, so the only thing I can think of is a Mage Crits 3 in a row for over ~4k Each...

Either he fails at buffing it, or he is going PvP with lolsummoner buffs (they are nice for PvE, but for PvP they are failure).

EDIT: A tyrant 3 shot your pet? Lol, what level Tyrant?

Well there are options

no more silhouette, it sucks, use something like night shade for tough ness, or soulless for power, or spectral lord, silhouette is a pvp oriented summon that even sucks for pvp so basically its a waste of d crystals and sp
voted for PS (nightshade rocks^^)
if you want summon stats it would be more likely to get them from a +1 or 9 summon

76+ summoner...very rare

Not really, I got a 78 Arcana lord, and I could prolly lvl up my 72 PS to 76 in no time (5 revita-pops ftw).

Currently have other stuff to do tho :(

but your 1 summoner, compared to other classes, summoner is rare some people make summoner is a 2nd or 3rd sub and only level it to 56 to summon friend
i love my PS more and more. i can tank in cata pretty well. but the dumb thing about ps is your summon will disappear after a while. you cant recast if you are aggro.
Yeah, you get interrupted alot if getting hit while summoning.
