Summons need a lot of polish

[Markiel]

I have the Keeper summon, he's slow and doesn't follow me. Sometimes I look at him, and he's turning in my direction veeeery slowly, then starts to run. Other times he turns to me and then starts to turn back, always very slowly.

Against the mini-boss at the blood lake, he just refused to fight. No matter if I command him to attack, he just says: "Nah, I'm out of here," and keeps running from the boss.

I really liked the demo, and I like to play as a summoner, but right now, summons are very frustrating to play with.

EDIT: He jsut don't attack at all inside the garden

Summons works fine for me. Ive had like 1 or 2 fights where my skeletons didnt fight so i know what you mean but thats rare for me. Also what is the keeper summon? How does he look?

I've given up on summons, they're so slow into the fight that you could finish it before they even get there if you went with literally any other build. Sure, if you sit back and wait for them to run in they'll get the job done, but it's much slower than just blowing them up with some magic of your own.

The 'Keeper' Summon is just one of the Keepers you see around the Horn, they use a bow, but can't hit anything 99% of the time, they also have a really high reserve compared to skeletons. I can summon 5 skeletons and still have mana to cast with, I can squeeze 3 keepers comfortably or 4 with a full mana bar reserved.

So far, the best summon I've found is the wolf, It's fast and aggressive. All the others are either slow, not aggressive, or both (Keeper)
