Hustle has too low of a Fanta aura vs beast. Iron golems also die periodically.

A2 Merc with might is a must have for summoner. Beats out a1 faith merc regardless of which weapon you slap on him.

I always like insight iron golem. Beast axe on nec. Reapers A2 Might Merc. But I haven’t built a summoner since d2r, so what do I know.

Reapers are useless as you use amplify damage all the time, also infy much better choice as conv -- def for the skeletons and also -fire res for CE.

I find that ubers are the only case that absolutely requires beast

I use hoto for general use, 125 fcr is a must, which can be difficult to obtain if using maxblock head instead of spirit shield
