I would suggest to show only Level 20 Skills in High End Areas to display the real value of these skills.

I really don't like this skill, at least not as a minion. I suppose it would be interesting if it were a projectile.

What makes summoners fun for me is precisely the fact that I don't have to do much; the minions do all the work. I remember falling in love with the necromancer during the very brief time I spent playing D2 (I only got to try it for the first time 2-3 years ago), because I loved how I could casually walk around and grab loot while my minions were busy killing things.

I can see the necessity for Summon Skeletons. Personally, I use them to get the ball rolling, since they are quite good at killing things. That said, I would not consider making skeletons an integral part of my build without Spell Totem.

This spell, however, doesn't fit into my concept of a summoner. In fact, had it not been advertised as a minion spell, I NEVER would have guessed that it was. It seems better suited to a fire-based caster.

In short, I'm very disappointed with this, and I don't see myself ever using it

Summoner is my main class but this is a little bit dissapointing since this is "yet-another-minion-gem". I would rather see some shape shift gems

I hope that this will prevent all summoners from being cookie cutter.
