Summoning Stones: My new addiction!

Good morning everyone..
I have a confession to make.
I LOVE the new summoning stones introduced into the game.
It all started with the Gaki stone, the reward at the Urgoz end chest......
Then it was the wolf, and the ooz, the juggernaut (boogerman) then the turtle.....
They are amazing!
Anyone else enjoying this new 'summoned hero'?
(My wonderful guildmates have been feeding my addiction...gotta love those guys!)

I think they're very nice additions. Better than the Asura summoning skills. It's like a fighting minipet or a monster pet

They're almost as useless as minipets.

I think it's nice they added stuff like this. that's about it though, nice. :P
I'd rather get some extra storage for dye/armor/tomes/books/minpets...

I agree they are wonderful. Get in a sticky situation and just pop one out - instant save. I have to admit they are a big help in vanquishing.

I am saving up char hides for the fur needed for the wolf one. Then of course, I have all those Golem ones from the MOX rewards (8 characters worth). I think I would like to get a Jadeite stone, nothing like a Kurzick having a siege turtle helping out for a change.

I LOVE the concept - but the execution sucks.
I want my own army of those guys!

The single use is why I haven't tried them yet. Paying a few platinum for something that lasts 30mins or till it dies isn't value for money in my opinion

Ya they are close to being as useless as minipets. I honestly dont understand the rationale behind introducing them.

Siege Turtle attacks are yummy. The rest are meh.

They are very durable and as far as I have seen have no trouble surviving their 30 minutes even in HM in vicinity of ele bosses.

Gaki is fairly powerful healer netting lots of utility (prots, condition removals, heals, spirit to trigger stuff from spirits ... etc etc). He can keep party in NM alive as sole healer. Raptor can solo Shiro. Raptor can freaking solo Shiro.

Definitely worth money regardless whether you have them because they are cute or because you are consumable junkie.

Yet another way to make the game even easier. Bah humbug.

Turtle is the only useful one.

Hehe, they are neat yeah. I haven't bothered with any yet though.

Point me to the fastest way to get turtles and then point me ot a Oni summoning stone, they need that one............

O yes!
I forgot to mention the raptor!
I slap GDW on him, or splinter in a mob..and wow....just wow.
(Especially when vanquishing an area with alot of other raptors for it to demolish!)

Raptor??? O.O?
Alrighty then.......
-Researches-

-Comes to the conclusion-
This update came at a bad time for me, I need to finish my amror and yet, I can blow things up and use paininverter at the same time.
T.T

Demonic summoning stone is sick.
Although they should make it so they have infinite uses and you just have to wait for it to recharge.

I like the idea of a disposable army as well. I've been wanting to do a team build for a while with asura summons, ebon vanguard assassins, and now these guys.

Here's a question, can you only have one for a party of 8, or can each person in the team summon one?

Only 1 per party.
But when one expires...anyone can slap up another..ect..ect.

Summons Oni-
For 30Min this is an ally of your party, upon death or time run out this stone is useless for 120min.

>.>
That would kinda suck, but thats the only way I see it working like that.
Theses stones are too easy to abuse as it is, and jade prices should reflect that soon.
