All summoner skill are homing skills, the diference here is that this one is a homing bomb and the others homing melee hiters (save some specters who are ranged hitters).

Summon Wisp? Neat idea, but probably won't be practical if its duration is very limited. "The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence."	Posted by Hixxie#2252 on Jan 13, 2014, 10:02:25 AM Quote this Post

It looks cool. I don't really understand how it is a minion skill though. Maybe if you summoned a flaming pet that used this for an attach I could see it being a minion skill. Right now it is just a cool homing fireball :) It doesn't really last long enough to be a summon. I guess maybe with increased duration it might. Too soon to tell I guess.

" Fusion_Power wrote: I would suggest to show only Level 20 Skills in High End Areas to display the real value of these skills. "level 30 Chara in a Level 4 Area" basicly shows nothing viable, a general problem when showing these Videos. ;) Besides, the old Summoner problem remains: just no free sockets for new sills. :D For fresh charas of course could this stuff lead to new builds, let's see what else GGG has in hand for Summoners. That would be a spoiler and I think opposite.Show a skill at it's best then people are dissapointed when it doesn't look as good as they saw in the video when they come to use it.Its not hard to imagine what might be possible with this skill.

what would the maximum number of these minions be? In the Vid it goes up to 5... But placing a Totem (or two (3?)) with this could be interesting! :D	Posted by Thanangard#2439 on Jan 13, 2014, 10:41:15 AM Quote this Post
What if that level 30 character are using skill gem level 1? :D	Posted by Langhun#7314 on Jan 13, 2014, 10:42:20 AM Quote this Post
Does anyone else think the fireball's initial placement is slightly off? Should appear at the end of the summoner's hands when they are outstretched (i.e. the end of the cast animation). There has to be a low point where some people stop complaining because it's just not worth it, and I have yet to see it. - Squeakypaw, 2013	Posted by obadonke#0693 on Jan 13, 2014, 11:17:43 AM Quote this Post

Yes, it's substantially different. This is much more similar to Summon Skeletons or Animate Weapon than to Fireball, other than the art being small and on fire. It's an individual minion that has it's own AI and movement, and hits things with melee attacks multiple times. This sounds pretty cool. Will like to see this as it progresses further.
