There was another non tele summoner guide I saw I think it's the fishymancer or something, too lazy to find the link though but as always you're knowledge of game mechanics makes the guide quite enjoyable

cavern/doorway strategy?
they are your toughest enemy and you didnt even address them

guide fails on this account

Probably one of mephistophilis's numerous takes on summonmancers.

Thanks ^^


Fair enough ...

Summon Clay Golem ahead of you and beyond doorways to scout the area.

- Blind ranged attackers (Dim Vision)
- Amp or cripple mêlée (AD, Dec)
- I CE dead people (AD, LR)

Confuse and Attract can be handy when outnumbered, as long as you are alert to the properties of AI affecting curses.
Occasionally Life Tap if your mercenary gets himself into trouble vs non-PIs.

Knowing which curse to use is a matter of familiarising yourself with monster behaviour and weaknesses.

As always, PRACTICE is king

You're nerfing your summoner without maxed CE.

No, that's fishy something's build (hence the name). Unless ofc that's him.

Agreed, though depending on the +skills from equipment, some may find that they do not need to max it.

Players wanting to incorporate Bone Spear and Bone Spirit do not have the points.

They will have to compromise approximately halfway.


Might be Nightfish @ diii.net then.

According to version 2.1 of his guide, another person, Gohanman, came up with it.

The term "Fishymancer" has since been adopted by others, I guess.

Ya that's it. Best site for guides IMHO.

^^

;TL;DR

Nice layout though.

I don't see the inherent need for FCR when you don't teleport.

You have a massive amount of FCR for a running build.

Non Teleport Summoner=

Carin Shard (or AOKL but Casting Bone Prison on yourself could fuck you up pretty bad without teleport)
Boneflame (faster run walk, 3 skills, resistance=holy shit)
2 Necro/10% FRW Amulet (thats a crafter) with Stats and/or Resistance
Marrows
Shako
2 Sojs
Arach will give you +1 skill and you'll have some FCR paired with your wand for enough fcr for curses + c/e
Trangs Armor (cham that biatch so you don't freeze)
Mage fist for +1 c/e skills + 20% fcr will get you 50% fcr which is enough for 11th Frame)


If you don't teleport, absolutely Maximize your Skill potential.

3-5 Wand
3 Shrunken Head
2 Amulet
2 Helm
2 Mastery on boots
2 from rings
1 belt
2 armor
+15 All +17 Mastery
+13 Inventory
+48 Overall

Put Faith Crossbow on swap so you can Summon with wand/head combo then swap to Faith so they have damage.

You wear lvl 15 fanat
Merc wears infinity + might
Golem made out of Pride.
Most damage possible.


also, this is the best line in ur guide:

I CE dead people
