There just isn't enough room to try this out without replacing something, or with them only being weakly linked. I don't really want to replace any of my summons, because these current summons feel more summoner like than the new skill. Just wanted to highlight this: You do NOT need to keep auras on your skill bar once you've cast them. Unless you are actively activating/deactivating them often, you can simply cast them once, then remove them from the skill bar.

I don't understand why many of you think that this skill was made to be an addition to current summon builds. It would be more interesting if it enables new completly different builds, different from the standard spectre/zombie setup.

On a side note I find this extremely annoying, I shouldn't have to have them on my skill bar at all if they can be removed after casting them. Even having an option to switch to a 2nd hot bar like we do with swap weapons would make this less annoying.	Posted by diem4801#7747 on Jan 13, 2014, 2:57:12 PM Quote this Post

I wonder if its a support that could be used with a bunch of different spells, sort of like animate weapon, but more animate spell?	Posted by TRV#4623 on Jan 13, 2014, 3:11:03 PM Quote this Post
A damage spell augmented by minion nodes and items ready for the totem support gem as summoner? Sounds fun! What can never be lent or earned? Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i?

I agree I should be able to run 20 different equipment slots worth of skills with any build. WHY CAN'T I HAVE EVERYTHING GGG?
