Summoner build

[caelcyndar5]

Anybody have a guild for a summoner build? (like attribute distribution and the best gear to eventually go for)?

Google. The game hasn't changed since 2009.

Nobody ever lists any actual vanilla gear (guess it doesn't matter since in the 10+ hours it took to get to Ordrak, I got ONE piece of gear that had +1 to Pet Mastery and THREE pieces with minion mods on them).

Gear doesn't really matter since bonuses provided by items are tiny in comparison with bonuses given by skills. Just stack bonuses to pets and spell masteries.
I can actually make a few screenshots of my current summoner build that I beat VHHC with. At least you will get a basic idea on where to start and what to aim for.

Eh, ain't quite as bad after adding a mod to at least increase the drop rate a bit. Kinda wish the TL games had an editor like Diablo 2 and Grim Dawn do. All the Rares, Uniques and Legendaries that drop and I've only seen 2-3 skill bonuses to Alchemist Lore pet skills (the +1 to Pet Mastery is a help and I keep seeing too many pet mods on Strength gear). Since I never even played without mods I have no idea what the base skill cap is for some skills (I have the Necromancy mods to give skeletons and zombies infinite duration, skeleton archers are mobile and I can have 5 of each) the Pet Mastery skill has a cap of 30 for me while rest of the skills have a cap of 10.

Also wish there some UI that actually let me know the stats on other minions like I can for the pet.

Eh, pretty sure I'm done with this game for a while. Put my pet gear in SHARED stash, decided I was gonna start over on Very Hard with the same name, deleted my char like I have before (this time I removed the mod for increased drops). Game deleted ALL my pet gear as well as 350K gold. Why the heck would removing that mod DELETE everything?

[StreamWhenGuy]

Probably because that mod modifies drop rate values that are in the same .DAT files as the data for item and gold, and when numbers don't match anymore without the mod, they are considered "not there". Try to bring the mod back.

Why would you remove mods mid game anyway? Isn't it obvious that you might mess with something?

Hello,

Where do you put all your attribute points as a summoner? As far as I know there is no attribute point that increase your pet damage, unfortunately there is no option like in Torchlight 2 that tells you what damage your pets make.

So would putting everything in the attribute Defense a good idea for a summoner?
