well thats just silly. why would a wall of flames be a minion? its a wall of flames.the clinger staff summons a wall of cursed flames and it deals magic dmg. Great logic Red.

The name of the class is summoner and it summons a wall of flames.
It's pretty cool, though I wouldn't see something like this, a bit unnecessary to say the least, being used by me. Whether I'm a summoner or not. I guess my support is granted, there isn't that much I see that's wrong with this suggestion.
Magnet Sphere-Summons a magnet sphere to attack enemies. So should this be a summoner weapon too?The name of the class is summoner and it summons a wall of flames.
Another thing: Summons give you a buff that says they are deployed too, other than turrets, witch are summons because who knows why.Summons are all animate. A wall of flames or a cloud are not.
Edit: It's tooltip using the word summon doesn't mean it should be a summoning weapon. It could just as easily say create.

You couldn't see yourself using the monstrous summons?
The sphere is a projectile, not a summon.Magnet Sphere-Summons a magnet sphere to attack enemies. So should this be a summoner weapon too?
don't forget bat staff(and wasp gun ect, they all fit thematically at least as much as the cloud and fire so they should migrate over)Magnet Sphere-Summons a magnet sphere to attack enemies. So should this be a summoner weapon too?
Sorry for that. They still need to balance the drops of the Large Mimics so that summoners (and throwers) have a weapon in it.Another thing: Summons give you a buff that says they are deployed too, other than turrets, witch are summons because who knows why.

Just please create a real summon with hit-points that can be killed and will draw aggros like the Stardust and lose a bit of HP over time...
as a "summoner" you have some boring- AI coded sprites flying around ramming into enemies, while you personally just use another weapon type
Maybe new mechanics
How would that work?How about straight up healing minions?
And that's exactly what I think should change, that "summon and destroy with something else", It should be possible for one to play summoner only, like it is possible with every other class.Summoners badly need a main weapon becauese as a "summoner" you have some boring- AI coded sprites flying around ramming into enemies, while you personally just use another weapon type
As someone who watched a lot of Shaman King, I loved the guardian and it would be amazing to have more of them in different tiers.Stardust Guardian was a good step, 1.2 or whatever with the stationary "turrets" was also good, but i would like to see the logic of the Guardian taken back into previous tiers with a weapon that requires active use, clicking to move the minion around while it does it's thing and tanks enemies for you, then is defeated or times out and has to be re-summoned. I believe this could use a new resource (such as Anima, Enchanted Clay, whatever) and have a cool-down, a short one to prevent reckless use or maybe a long one to encourage bringing multiple different summons (like other classes would bring, ex. Terrarian + Solar Eruption for different stiuations)
Yes. Those mechanics you said could work as I mentioned to Pseudoname in this thread, with a second staff, you could use it and the minion would use its special attack.MAYBE (kind of asking for a lot), new mechanics, such as clicking ON the Summon to give it a minor heal, or clicking ON an enemy to launch special attacks
I envision getting a Mini-GOlem drop from GOlem, and it walks slowly along the ground and fires a laser, then transforms into the flying head when it dies
Would not like that, it would the ultimate that summoner is never to be a real, complete class.Or I mean why not just give the Summoners some ordinary weapons but classed as "summoning damage" ?? Considering that at some points in the game there's no practical difference between some available weapon types...
Emits an aura of a HoT buff.How would that work?

Now this Mini-Golem, would it be a stationary? I can't quite picture it.

Oh, I get it.Mini-golem would move slowly to the directed point by your click.. or maybe jump there like the boss? And then automatically fire lasers or fireballs or whatever at nearby enemies. Then the head is released whne it dies,a nd it could either be a directed flyer or a normal summon like the laser eye
As it would with leeching, HoT would be difficult for the devs to balance, maybe even more since there is no HoT in the game, so it's unlikely, as it is leching summons.Emits an aura of a HoT buff.
I said healing. I was explaining how it would work. Also, regeneration is HoT.Oh, I get it.

I understand, I was comparing with leeching summons, which is something I suggested and realized is unlikely to happen for balancing reasons, sadly.I said healing. I was explaining how it would work. Also, regeneration is HoT.
You could combine the healing one with a debuff inflicting one and only have it heal when it is able to debuff an enemy.I understand, I was comparing with leeching summons, which is something I suggested and realized is unlikely to happen for balancing reasons, sadly.

Those two staffs function like the frost hydra staff, witch is a summoner weapon. The other staffs don't, so they are not.I just checked the wiki and the cloud isn't a summoner weapon. BUT the Lunar Portal Staff and the Rainbow Crystal Staff are.
