Summoner Uniques

Summoner uniques blow, why do you want more of them? :P

Every uniqe that has passive supports on them work with summoners. There's plenty.

i.e; moonsorrow makes your skelly totems with blindness, or bringer of rain on zombies make for an army of Rambos

Well, you don't really need that many nodes for a summoner and not that much summoner-specific gear so you can combine them with other stuff. Wander summoner is nice, all the nodes are close by and you mod summons to take damage. You can play midrange melee summoner using them to keep mooks from surrounding you. Lightning caster also works well with summons as shocked targets take more damage from them. Or you can build a tank and mod summons with stuff like attack speed, multistrike or melee splash to kill for you.

Well, some of these work well, others not so much. But as for a straight summoner the options are a bit limited, you can hardly find any without minion instability for one. Some play on that completely by modding their little suicide bombers with damage, chance to ignite and burn damage, some keep it as an extra. Maybe you can make a D2 summoner with vitality, punishment curse and detonate dead but I haven't really heard any first hand experiences on that one.

And what uniques blow canyou tell me?

You mean those low lvl ones?

How many summoner builds ou can make with those items?

Someone make me a ES summoner helmet with:

+2 Minions
+ 15-20 IIQ
+ 30-40 IIR
+ 15% Movement Speed
- Supported by culling strike or minion life or minion damage or minion resist
- You can't deal damage with skills

But yea, there is already like 5 summoner uniques?

- Midnight Bargain
- Matua Tupuna
- Bones of Ullr
- Sidhebreath
- Queen's Decree

Main problem is that none of these are best in slot, which is pretty bad considering they're built for summoners. I doubt GGG will ever make a great MF unique though which is what it would require to be used for gloves/boots/helm/ring/amulet. If you aren't CI then bargain is good and if you are CI then you're likely using the boots for the +1 spectre.

I just wish there was a way to get more movement speed, my witch is slow as shit, gotta use 3x quickflask potions.

The summoner is one build that's proudly not item specific. You can finish the game with meh rares. I find that to be a defining trait of the build. If they added OP uniques to the build, they would have to balance it for that. That means that unless you build that way, you're gimp. I'm all for specialists that require weird rare equipment to function, but it's also nice to have a fall back for people who don't.

It's not really the items.. It's mostly the level of your minion gems. If you don't buy high level minion gems or grind you will be continually casting minions all game. If you don't do damage yourself, certain bosses can be a nightmare.

Starting fresh as a summoner with no currency wouldn't be much fun for a while.
