Regarding Ifan's Soul Wolf

[Strawbs]

Is it viable to choose Ifan, if I'm not going to use summoning whatsoever, seeing as it gets a bonus from summoning? Does anyone know yet?

[kingsims]

It's the worst source ability. I just ignored it and used bless instead.

I have heard even as you level up summoning you are far better going with the incarnate instead. dont quote me on that as I havent tested it myself

[Peaches]

I mean, none of the racial / unique abilities are so gamechanging as to be dealbreaking, should you like the character and their backstory.

[Fluff]

Balance is not about this game.

Summoning powers up it, yes.

But incarnate will be stronger.
And any mage will be stronger than a summoner by times.

I can load my save before the game's end and respec to show you wolf stats without and with summoning if you need it a lot.

Except for Fane. Blows everything else out of the water, IMO.

Chose Fane as my main character, having fun with it. Inquisitor build is awesome.

I just went strength and wits, focusing on necromancy, polymorph, and two-handed on the skills tree.

Impressive damage and healing capabilities, mixed along with polymorph, necromancy, and warferer abilities.

The dang wolf can't go up ladders or vines...He really annoys me. Plus it cost source to use.

Many people make the mistake of going hybird, splitting stats into STR/ INT. I just went strength and wits, focusing on necromancy, polymorph, and two-handed on the skills tree.

Hell yeah.

At the time of writing, I thought you could have multiple summons, that's why I wanted to know. :) Now that I know you can only have one summon, totems don't count, I think Ifan is arguably the worst, given that you'll want to use your incarnate most of the time, ultimately rendering his unique source ability useless.
