In the solo game, one of my favorite characters was in effect, a Summoner. They were great to play and quite powerful. Of course in NS, a summoner will die quickly as summons are useful right up until you get to around level 11 or 12. Then they just go pop.

Until that point, you could rely on your summons to be a very useful addition. After that, they can still be used to soak up spells as you hide behind a door, but they never seriously threaten anyone.
Anyone think having better summons would be a worthwhile? It shouldn't be too hard to change the summons, NS4 already has them buffed according to the forums (haven't tried on there yet, as I like 3.5 too much). This would add a whole new build to the server and create a bit more diversity. Then I could finally have my Cleric/Druid/Monk running around with his respawning army of pets!
