Summoner’s armor sets feel underwhelming. Power-wise, they do just fine, but there are two main problems I have with the sets:
1) The set bonuses are just stat boosts. Compared to the other classes' flashy bonuses, this is pathetic.
2) There isn’t a proper whip armor. Tiki gives whip range, sure, but there is a lot of potential in a dedicated whip armor.
My idea is for Spooky armor to have two chest slots: one benefitting more from dodging and letting the minions do all of the work, and another from whips, specifically from whip stacking.
Tiki would then be a dedicated mixed armor. It would work similarly to the ore sets, with the different head slots and all.
Here is a rough sketch of the specifics. The stats are more likely than not woefully imbalanced, but it is to mostly to get the idea across:
Spooky Breastplate
+2 minion slots
+20% summon damage
+11 defence
Set Bonus: Pressing DOWN twice gives you the Shade Aura buff: +30% Summon damage & -400 aggro, but taking damage kicks you out and removes 1/3 of your remaining health after the hit.
Spooky Chain Mail
+1 minion slot
+20% summon damage
+20% Whip Range
+15% Tag Damage
+16 defence
Set Bonus: All whips give the Shade Whip buff for 6 seconds: +15% whip tag duration, +10% whip speed, +10% whip length, +3 defence; up to 3 whips can stack this.
Tiki Mask
+10% Melee & Summon damage
+10% Melee speed
+1 minion slot
+20 defence
Set Bonus: Taking damage gives the Tiki Heart buff for 10 seconds: +3 life regen; +10% Melee & Summon damage.
Tiki Helmet
+10% Ranged & Summon damage
+33% chance to not consume ammunition
+ 1 minion slot
+15 defence
Set Bonus: Taking damage gives the Tiki Mind buff for 10 seconds: 10% Ranged critical strike chance; +10% Ranged & Summon Damage
Tiki Headgear
+10% Magic & Summon damage
-10% Mana Cost
+1 minion slot
+10 defence
Set Bonus: Taking damage gives the Tiki Soul buff for 10 seconds: +20% movement speed; +10% Magic & Summon damage
That's all for the armor pieces themselves. Here are some notes to add on to this:
-Spooky Chain Mail would have the exact same ingredients as the breastplate.
-I suggest the Witch Doctor should sell Tiki Leaves instead. With this change, combining Tiki Leaves and Chlorophyte armor will result in Tiki Armor.
-All of the Summon damage buffs on the Tiki Shirt and Pants would be changed to just general damage.
Thank you for reading.
