These are some concerns I have, most of them are taken from L2 Summoner system, which the only use for a summoner is in Olympiad (1vs1 self buff fight). So, what do you think...
- Still haven't seen any video which shows a flying summon, what is SM doing in Aerial combat? Let the water summon nuke from the ground?
- Do summons steal exp from the summoner?
- Do summoning cost anything, like crystals in L2?
- When our summon is killed, do we have nothing to do but try to re-summon (seems a long cast, plus having to re-buff the summon) or wait death?
I was concerned too about what to do in sudden situations, for instance, when a Rift is open just above your head, but, if it cost nothing to keep the summon up, then you just can have the summon with you all the time.
