Summoner Pet Questions

[merkels]

Hi folks, I looked around for information about this, but failed sadly. So I'm hoping somebody can answer these questions for me!

What do the summoner pets look like? I can't find pics of them anywhere at all!

How do these pets behave? Do they act like normal monsters that follow you around? Or do they not attack at all unless you activate the skills for them?

Can your pet be killed, leaving you weak and helpless and needing to resummon? XD

I'm sure I have other questions...but just any information at all about the summons would be greatly appreciated since I can't find anything about them anywhere!

Summoners pets look like little faries "balls" behind you.

The pets have no behavior at all. All they do is increase you elemental damage, depending on the pet. However summoners have a skill that releases all your pets (4 max) in a single attack, that does quite a bit of damage.

Fairies cannot be killed, just its stay alive as skill time says. And not sure coz job arent released yet, if you attack with fairy, it will be unsummoned.

However summoners have a skill that releases all your pets (4 max) in a single attack, that does quite a bit of damage.

It looks pretty cool, but I bet the MP consuption isnt that kind of coolness xD

Hey, does the fairy attack spell (mentioned above) need all four fairies to work or can we fire off individual fairies?

[doomcloud]

I just became summoner :D -Yay- I need to update my sig. Anyways, here are da facts
1. You can summon the same fairy up to 4 times
2. You can only summon up to 4 fairies at a time
3. If you use fairy attack, it will fire all the fairies at once, and they will be unsummoned
4. You can use fairy attack with any type of fairy, and any number of fairies.
5. Fairies do not die, and do not take damage for you, and they live until they expire(Skill time)
Any more questions I will be glad to answer XD

I can also give some more information, too. There currently APPEARS to be a bug regarding the elemental defense the fairies are supposed to give(a test showed, even with 1-4 fairies out, a damage reduction of only 2 damage from an attack that did 123 base, of the element of that particular fairy). Another present bug is sometimes a Fairy will drop off, or fail to appear upon summoning.

Here's some more info:

1.) 4 Wind Fairies in STD PvP in Fairy Attack does slightly more damage than Ice Bolt for 24 MP(considerably less).

2.) Fairy Attack has the same targeting range as Fire Bolt.(It won't hit things that Wind Bolt could.)

3.) Summoning a fair does not invoke any kind of delay. It works kind of like self heal, as long as you're not mid-air or dashing/teleporting, you can invoke them. You can't cast 4 at the same time, but the delay between being able to summon the next one is only about a half second, so with all four fairies, you can get a stack going fairly quickly.

4.) Fairy Attack costs no MP, but each Fairy Does.(Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, in order from least, to most expensive if I recall correctly.)

I'd have said more, but doomcloud really did hit the nail on the head. I've still got lots of testing to do. =P

Thanks alden :D I also have seen that the +10% elemental attack power is only +10 damage(With wind) And with water it was only +9 Damage. This is not confirmed yet, I'm still gonna experiment around a little bit. And yea, the defense resistance doesn't work as you said.
