Overview

The Basic Summoner is a straightforward mage designed around letting summoned creatures handle the frontline while you support them with Necromancy and Magery.

Chain Links are not a major requirement for this build.

General-purpose spell damage, summoning, and survivability links can be added as upgrades.

    • Provides the primary Magery abilities and allows you to contribute direct spell damage.

  • Summoner’s Tome

    • Provides the summons that form the core of the build.

Additional Codex info is in the build card

Equipment

  • Leather Armor
  • Magical Spellbook with high potency

A strong spellbook is useful for increasing your personal spell damage while your summons handle the frontline.

Use summoned creatures to tank enemies while you remain at range and cast offensive spells.

Necromancy provides additional abilities and buffs, while Magery gives you a wide selection of direct damage and utility spells.

Wrestling provides additional protection against interruption.
