Is cast frequency bad for summons?

[HumanMirthquake]

I mean if it’s too high it’ll just keep replacing them with little time for them to get attacks off, right?

[carp]

No; it in fact will just make the summons themselves hit more often.

[Snowfunk]

Same goes for multicast, useless for the "skill" itself, but the summon will benefit.

Summons hit faster.
On recast you heal your Summons or they die, explode and get resummoned (Bunnies, Rats).

[HumanMirthquake]

Ooooh, so it doesn't resummon, it just allows them to cast faster? Does that mean that it stops summoning once the cap for that minion is reached?

For most Summons, yes.
If the max is reached, they get healed instead of resummoned.

BUT Plague Rats and Frenzied Bunnies get killed and resummoned, since those have a mechanic to explode on death.
So with those two Cast Frequency is amazing valueable.

Oooh, gotcha, ty. I think the ammo box/cart thingy gets resummoned, too, after its limit is reached.

Yeah forgot about the stationary summons, since i avoid those normaly.

If I remeber correclty, they all get resummoned to your location after some time.
But in this case, devs prevented them from instant resummoning, so they can actually do something.
But I cant 100% verify how those work.

Roger that; thank you for helping explain. :)
