Also as mentioned before, that skull barely counts as a "summon", it is a homing fireball and none of the other stuff make summoners more varied at all.

Yes, a fireball that can be supported by faster attacks, minion damage, melee splash or multistrike... also is immune to reflect and gets damage from summon passive investment eliminating the need to crossclass for direct damage.

I just have a few questions about some changes:

Is the new desecrate flat or % life degen?

Is the old desecrated ground from Lightbane going to be identical to this one? Meaning it will also summon corpses and have the same type of degeneration?

Will there be legacy Lightbane Raiments with the old desecrated ground?

Why did you change desecrated ground into some kind of cloud? Take away the cloud and all i see is bones to even hint that its desecrated. It seems somewhat similar to poison arrow now

Will increased aoe on desecrated ground add more corpses?

Will desecrate be usable on a trap?

Some of these are rather common questions being asked around, a few others im just curious about. Please tell us!

Looks good!

The Hillock change is great, we need more things like that to spice up Cruel and Merciless.

Chris, was that a typo or did you misquote the unique entirely?

The item says that allies gain 18% Increased damage and the wielder takes 18% Increased damage. However, in the video you said that nearby allies take Increased damage, making it idea for solo summoners? (Minions taking increased damage simply isn't worth the curse bonus......)

So which is correct? If it indeed does make allies take Increased damage, that is a horrible idea because it'll be used as a griefing tool.

Either I'm going crazy (which is possible, it was a 17 hour workday), or the text changed between the time I wrote the script and when I recorded the video. I had another developer explain the Unique to me (to double check my understanding) and he explained that it hindered nearby allies also. I'll check into it tomorrow. It could just be that none of us here can read! I would normally check with Rory or Carl, but both are away this week.

Maybe Chris is going crazy cause he can't get any fish :S

So, Chris wrote that new trading system will be introduced before 1.1 update. On other news, i have read that 1.0.6 is going to be a last update before 1.1

Any idea when it will come up?

#notlovingsummonerupdate

Errrrr? The trade update was confirmed to be AFTER 1.1. It's NOT included in 1.1.

Trade update will be at the same time as the next build of the month.

A summon dedicated patch?

do you see alot of lightning users (other than storm call)?

do you see alot of cold users(other than ice spear)?

traps got buffed(was needed), fire got buffed(was needed), chaos got buffed(was needed)...summons were Ok, and dont use the "boring" factor, a summoner is meant to be boring since you use others to play for you. Im not saying summons have to be boring, but it could have been a piece by piece "mechanic" buff project from GGG

Its like spending all you funds to cure cancer when you could have stopped World hunger

I'd rather cure cancer...
