With Mistlands update devs introduced summoning weapon that gives us skeletons (wielding bow or sword decided by random). Now there is a problem with summoner class in video games in general. U either have game build around minions doing job for you or minions are useless or minions provide utility.
Right now pawns that are at our disposal are useless for biome they are introduced in. Not only because bugs have 50% resistance to physical damage but skelies are squishy (at low level of blood magic atleast)
Thus i propose little changes to summoning as a whole:
- Ditch sword skelly for tower shield wielding one. His job will be to taunt and block attacks. That way solo players would have tool for tanky bugs without having to rely on elemental attacks or doing acrobatics with spear
- Let us choose which class of pawn we want to summon.
- Add some more classes. Like poisoner for example.
