you should also carry around a bewitching table, so whenever you want a summoner buff you can just place and click on it.

i would say build it tanky and probs have sdmg with ichor bullets so ur minions do a bit more dmg

Do you want... like the bestest, or the tier list?
Because summoner is kind of a "late-game" class. you start it in the jungle, making it the latest "class" you can start.

Go full damage, literally, purely. Find a way not to get hit by the boss or the mobs and you'll have the highest damage ever, maybe even more than a caster.

If you go summoner, your sub-class should be mage because magic has utility.
