Summoner, partying, and end game farming.

Summoner IS viable for end game! Right now, I am using 3 summoners while multi-boxing. Unfortunately, fps spikes cause a lot of issues and client crashes. (especially since I'm using all the auras.)

I've tried playing a summoner solo end game, and it works just fine, but works even better when you are partied with other people, as most specs are.

Again, until they fix it to where you can hide auras, spell effects and other peoples summons, some people (but not all) will whine, cry like babies and cuss you out as if it's your fault GGG hasn't done anything about it yet.

So far a lvl 70 half summoner half lightning witch. I have been clearing maps quick since lvl 60.

All builds depend on gear. I farmed with a ranger to aquire my gear. My minions are beefy, my spectres kill fast, and I mow enemies down with a 1800dps Arc.

All builds are viable if you gear accordingly.

I'm summoner end game. I link minion dmg and life.

4 tentacle miscreation spectres can kill anything in seconds. Hours for maps?
I only use skellys for minion instability on bosses when the rest are dead.

I do hate that summoners are rarely welcome in parties. I'm 76, and the only person I've partied w/ in this game is my g/f.
