Summons ?

All good ideas, but they don't fulfill the concept of just an elemental summon. I don't care about skele's who can cast magic.. they're still undead. I don't care about using a support gem or aura to add elemental damage to the ... undead... I want a living construct of flame, frost, and lightning.

Tbh, I want them perma summon invulnerable "familiar" type summons that provide bonuses to things we don't have aura's for ( like vitality, but for ES , etc...) I want them to be small additions to dps by attacking random targets for small dmg. I want a little lightning construct that walks around talking shit as he randomly discharges one of my charges for increased damage at a monsters location rather than pbaoe.

Again, love all the ideas, but in no way are any of those an actual elemental summon, just ways of providing elemental damage to your undead.

Today i made my first character ever! A summoning witch..... and while i had a blast in most of it, being locked in a room with only a boss and no way to resummon squishy zombies was very disheartening to say the least. [...] But man they are way underpowered for something that game mechanichs removes from my arsenal in the first 5 secs of a boss fight


I hit this same problem but I don't consider a summoner witch underpowered, my reaction was more "oh crap, what an idiot I am, basing my entire strategy on a skill that requires dead things lying on the ground... when there are no dead things lying around!"

If I recall, I got out of that scrape with fire traps but I recommend you try the Witch forum for more build advice.

So , don't know if this has been discussed before. Not trying to browse for hours looking either, but we have skeleton, zombie, and spectre summons. Yet with the passive nodes as it is , there's a LOT of elemental nodes. This made me start to think. With such a variety of elemental passives, and summon passives, where are the elemental summons ?

I think elemental summon skill gems would be great ! Especially with the dark tone of the game, there are some seriously evil ways you could construct them as well as their effects, i.e. fire elemental has a minor constant burn effect, or fire based thorns, increasing it's overall dps compared to the other elemental summons at the cost of having the lowest hp/armor of them all, whereas the frost could be large , fat , and tanky producing a temporal chains like slow while doing nearly no damage at all. There's a load of mechanics and builds that could be either improved upon or build entierly around the benefit a elemental summon could provide.

Again, don't know if it's been discussed before, but I think it's a hell of an idea and we should get living summons as well as undead at some point as it might counteract how stupid our undead ones can be at times !


Well the Passive Elemental you see on the skill tree is to raise your resistances of all three Fire, Cold and Lightning at the same time. Its not there because of some need for elemental creatures. the skellies in the dungeons shoot fireballs for example..if you have fire resistance you take less damage. but mostly when you go up to Cruel and beyond, you get a negative to those 3 resistances. So putting skills in Elemental is an easy way to get them up.

That being said, I like your idea.

Summon Skeletons. They take no bodies. You put support gems that raise their damage. Get the skill they explode on death. For boss's you spam skellies and keep spamming. My friend showed me this. My necro died alot..his never did. But he geared his towards his skellies because in a boss fight you run out of bodies to turn into zombies or spectres. He does massive aura's. Think he is at 5 now. and spams skellies. He steam rolls everything so far. level 50 I think.

Ahhh! I was heading in this general direction before I got distracted by a marauder build - hadn't figured out the details - so sounds like it works :D I'd best go capture my witch build before the wipe and put this on my todo list for OB.
