Anyone agree? If so got any suggestions for good summoning stones?

Summon Mallyx
Summon Urgzo
Summon Kanaxai
Summon Kilroy

Do we really need all of those?

/notsigned

if only they were useful......

Shayne Hawke = /resigned

Give me a reason to use money please!!!!

/signed for summon mallyx, kanaxai, and kilroy (urgoz can't move QQ) Honestly, who doesn't want kilroy on their team. movement speed + Skill recharge 50% is too much /win

I'd prefer you didn't speak for me, actually.

Half these don't even get used anyway. Why do we need more? Even then if they were added, half those if not more wouldn't get used.

/notsigned

I would like Slort Nilbog. Overpowered?

Reckon they need to make stones useful, before adding more stones. Even just getting rid of the one per hour time limit. If you want to spend a few plat making these, then you should be able to spam them as soon as they die if you want.

We already have a Mursaat summoning skill. That is already EPIC.

OHH "HELL YESS"..Love Summoning Stones !

They are useful. You just pop them off to help with a difficult situation instead of indiscriminately.

That said, I don't think you need many of them, and I'd be inclined to lean away from anything sapient and/or associated with the Big Bads of that campaign. Instead, have them summon allies from that campaign (possibly including some that you do fight along the way - for instance, it may be possible to get something from Dragon Lair from a Brotherhood member at Droknar's Forge).

To be honest, though, I'm not going to be buying any until I go through my 90+ golem summoners and Wintersday stones. Inventory space and cost both say it's more economical just to use what I've got.

For the spirit of this idea, I think that instead of making more summonings, there should be rare drops of infinite summoning stones of the ones that are already available to get in eotn outposts. What you all think?

Meh... like we need more of them...

Take them all out of the game, don't add more. 'Free' henchmen is not making the game better, it is making it easier. I for one enjoy a challenge, and adding things to remove those challenges is not fun.

there are a nice addition to the game. Not that I ever used a one of them but I saw them used. I think it is also a fun for some to see them in action. If they are not overpowered then why not?

Even though they are free henchmen a lot of people don't buy them since they are effective but not effective enough to be worth the 1 k and materials.

And if you enjoy a challenge so much I have one for you: Try to avoid using summoning stones.

I think they are a great addition as a thing to A) Spend skill points on. B) Have just for the sake of summoning something. C) Be a small yet efficient aid for people who enjoy challenges but still find Duncan's HM H/H a tough nut to crack.

Summoning Stones are made more for fun than for actually aiding people. I don't use them unless I feel like having a fun companion.

Choosing the creatures may prove a hard work.
Let players choose. Like this:

- Signet of Caging.
Signet. Choose one nearby dead Boss. Signet of Capture is permanently lost and a Summoning Stone for the species of that boss may be added to your inventory. The lower if Not all bosses can be caged, and the caging may fail if the boss is level 29 or less. If the caging fails, you lose the signet, but get no Summoning Stones.

(Needless to say, the skills won't be the same)

its always hard to pull with a melee summoning stones..

I forget to even use them half the time, just taking up space.

Truly tough. But in terms of appearance: Which is cooler to have as a sidekick: A wolf with a nasty grin or a two headed humongous demonwolf with fangs so large that even the sabertooth cat starts meowing in fear? XD
