Animal summons + Animal summon nodes! What do you think?

Actually. Something that'd be interesting on a 2nd though, would be having these pets as support skill gems, making it so that the pet can cast only the supported gems - similar to a walking totem. (perhaps manacost bcomes reservation?)

You could personalize your pet this way so your bear has heavy strike / enduring cry, or your cat has doublestrike. I'm not sure how or if these should be linkable to spells though...
(firestorm etc.)


Why not make it a new type of gem? An active+support gem? You can cast an animal that uses all skills that are linked to it (with some restrictions ofc). So you can go for an animal that uses 1 strong skill quite often or many different skills with decent power.

I just don't see this as feasible...

this would require a huge amount of new content with SERIOUS balance implications..

If you're looking for a viable solution to minion tedium, http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/272015 my post about adding various skins to the existing minion system.. Go there and post your skin fantasy.

No, that is no solution. A skeleton as wolve? A wolve shouldn't walk as fast as a snail... A wolve is fast and agile and not slow...

If we would be frightened about every new skill because of balancing issues, we should stop suggesting new skills and other mechanics as they all lead to some balancing work... And you know what? The suggesting area is there to make new suggestions (like skills, new mechanics etc.).
Bump! We want this bad GGG :)

+1

I actually love the idea, but it requires too much work just to have some kind of walking totems.

The idea was liked in the past. Maybe there's a chance now? ^^
This may be necro. But in the light that golems got added, maybe this is an option now?
I think the birds should have a chance to blind, like the Druid's ravens from Diablo II.
