I don't like summoning, for a few reasons. 1. There are only a few ways they can do it, they are: a. Monster is summoned, opponent has to attack it, you can't attack opponent - but can use this time to eat food. b. Monster is summoned, opponent has to attack it, you can't attack opponent or do ANYTHING. c. Monster is summoned, opponent can't attack it and continues to attack you while the summon deals extra damage to him. d. Monster is summoned, opponent can attack either you or monster. e. Monster is summoned, opponent has to attack it, you can attack him meanwhile. None of these, except for b is fair. And if they do it the b way, people will complain. 2. No matter how they do it, you just KNOW high level summons will deal massive damage and be unfair. 3. They're going to make it a mage skill, another type of spell, i.e. Level 15 mage you can do summon birdy spell, level 60 you can do summon dragon spell. This is completely unfair to non-mages. Mages are not currently disadvantaged on the triangle, neither are melee'ers, and rangers a litle bit. Summoning will put mages over the top. The last thing we need is a level 90 ancient mage pounding us with ice barrage while his wyvern/dragon/pheonix/cookie monster also pounds away at us.
