I need info on Red Prince's Dragonling, and Scoundrel's Wind-Up Toy summon.
If I'm forgetting a summon (besides Incarnate) please let me know.

Also, all summons are able to be given Source and the major upgrades (i.e. cursed fire, cursed electric, blessed ice, etc) and will have the Source ability listed + the corresponding element listed, except slightly stronger (e.g. Cursed Lightning Incarnate will have a slightly more potent Electric Discharge than normal Electric Infusion)

Oh man, my OCD is kicking in. SO MANY NEW BUILDS!

[Chaoslink]

There’s also the black cat and that vulture from act two.

Yeah, I might actually consider using summoning on occasion. This changes everything.

Summon Rogue + Wind Up Toy (If it got affected)
Bloated Corpse got even better, lets go summon necros.
Bloated Corpse + Water Infusion, is that a lich king I see?
Poison Archer with Hungry Flower as a pet and poison slug. Reactive Shot + Poison Flaming Tongues.

Not only that, normal summoner just got even more adaptive tools.

I wonder if the model changes like how Incarnates change. NEED MORE DATA!

Warp infusion seems pretty useful. Also its a cheap safe way to get enemies lined up for an aoe attack or a drop into deathfog or lava

me too

You missed one thing: the bone widow power infusion gives it bone cage.

Just another fun fact: the bloated corpse leaves behind a trail of whatever element it is currently, and when it explodes, it makes a puddle of that element (e.g. fire bloated corpse leaves behind a trail of fire and explodes into a fire puddle).

[FloatingToadThing]

I've done some fiddling around with the dragonling summon and here's what i've got so far. I didn't get around to testing the source skill infusions.

Also i can confirm, the elemental infusions give summons new models/textures and occasionally visual effects.

Farsight: Ranged Attack (Physical)
Power: Deflective Barrier + Battering Ram
Warp: Trade Places
Shadow: Chameleon Cloak + Adrenaline
Fire: Spontaneous Combustion
Water: Soothing Cold
Poison: Corrosive Touch
Oil: Impalement
Electric: Tornado
Blood: Shackles of Pain

BTW can someone tell me if there are source skill versions of the blood and oil infusions?

[JadeDejavu]

Summon you missed: Ifan's Wolf

Does the totem count as summon? that would be interesting to test out.

[Mastigos]

Oh wow, Ifan got a huge indirect buff.

Thank you for the Dragonling information, I believe it will be a strong contender. Adrenaline, Spontaneous Combustion, Impalement, and Deflective Barrier are all strong.

I totally forgot Blood and Oil infusions. I'll update accordingly.

Glad to know they didn't half assed it.

[Dead Inside]

Another thing:

There is a new Blood Infusion (Necromancer + Summoning skillbook) that grants necromancy skills.

Raise Bloated Corpse: Grants a targetable flesh sacrifice (target gets +1 AP and +10% damage at - CON). Does not stack with elf flesh sacrifice.
Widow:gets decaying touch.
Fire slug: gets silencing stare.

Don't know about the others :/

I should really read before I post.

♥♥♥♥ yes Bloated Corpse mega buff. Widow with Decay Touch is a nice addition to heal/hurt teams. I never understood why they never added blood infusion in the first place.

I guess it's time to make that summon necro I always wanted.

[JadeDejavu]

another summon I remember now: in the cemetary east of Driftwood you can unlock a vulture as a summon

[JadeDejavu]

small note on the black cat: I used farsight infusion on it and it shoots blood as amissile XD

[Warlord514]

Ivan's wolf gets guardian angel with power infusion, making it probably one of the best summons in the game now
