@skearnz There has been discussions and predictions how the Summoner will be implemented. It can be a 'jack of all trades' like mentioned before or perhaps ranged damage dealer or support or some kind of hybrid of these two. I am not sure is there any exact answer at this moment so I guess we have to wait a little bit longer to get more information.
prtty much^^
i do wonder tho, they have eluded to some nifty utility abilities like mage hovering over a gap, rogues picklocking and tanks being to...perceive threats (iirc?) so that does bring to mind what the summoner's utility could be:3
but yea need to wait on that 1:D

Anything involving Cleric, Bard, Mage or Summoner.
But we all have to start somewhere and my very first attempt at a "Hybrid" character would probably be primary Cleric augmented with Bard (Scryer)... or... primary Bard augmented with Cleric (Soul Weaver).
That said, I would probably first give Cleric/Cleric (High Priest) a shot before going straight into Hybrid.
I'm sure it will take a while for me to settle on what fits best for my playstyle.

Like a Tank/Summoner running a potion launcher who summons mobs to soak up damage
From what we've been told only main class summoner will actually have summoned creatures. I'm betting a tank summoner would actually be an anti summoner, locking down summoned creatures.

i act had something ion mind about this! not fighter but rather cleric/tank
imagine being able to tank and hold aggro through healing spells xD
I don't think you'd be able to hold aggro in anything more than a temporary off tank role. Remember, main archtype is what you do, second one is how you do it. So maybe that would be how Tank/Cleric worked, but i think Cleric/Tank would just be a healer not afraid to get their hands dirty in the melee, maybe through shielding, or higher armor values.

A summoner doesnt always have to summon anmials. I could imagine a Tank/Summoner to summon walls and shields to soak aoe damage. ;D

@Damokles True, but our tank abilities as we have them now ( certainly changing) already include summoning a wall, i think adding summoner in would do something different. But by creature i meant any autonomous damage source. floating swords etc.

The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace
