Game Mechanics Friends On The Other Side - A Summoner Remake Proposal

bumping this because i am very desperate for shaman content

 

Oh hey if this gets accepted summoner will finally have more summons than trapper

 

Bumping because this suggestion would most improve summoner as a whole with a more skillful play style

 

Links became dead because of Discord images being wack so I requested for a reopen so I could replace them

Have fun looking at my funny Summoner ideas new people

 

Oh shoot a day away from 30 lol that was fast

Wait why am I keeping this alive again

________________________________

I’ll just… leave it from now on
Sorry lol

 

No dont leave it it is the basedest suggestion of all time 333:

 

I adore any chance for little guys in minecraft

 

Ok hi back I have some stuff

I’m actually considering coming back to this a bit because I wanted to actually add new things to the suggestion

Mainly that I had an idea back when I was still making this to turn Shaman’s main attack into a whip-like cone shaped AOE crack to serve as a targeter for specific enemies.

There are two glaring flaws in the actual Summoner archetype that this suggestion doesn’t fix, which is the fact that it’s hard for summons to target specific enemies, and that you can’t stop or control your damage output on a dime. If I ever come back to this, those are the two things I’ll be seeking out to fix.

That being said, the whip idea was cool but I never ended up balancing it enough to make it into the post. If anyone has ideas on how it’ll be like feel free to tell me about it here!

 

I'd actually play Summoner if it worked like this. Encore.
Now fix Paladin so it has an AoE taunt.

 

I love this!
I haven’t really liked playing shaman, and I’ve stuck with summoner because ritualist needs to cast uproot every millisecond on top of everything else, and acolyte needs to do the same but with aura; making for playstyles that feel too fast and hectic for me.
Summoner is the only one that doesn’t force you into that,and even then, it still doesn’t have much going for it right now. This fixes that, though.
I like how you also made the connection with Bullwhip and Terraria’s Summoner, like I did a while back.
I just love playstyles that require mastery and every part of the classes arsenal and skills to be great, and for me, this looks straight up my alley.
