np and welcome to the game
you can reset your skills and make a new build anytime you want, so in fact you are able to chose a setup which consists of healing/summoninig/mana/mental and later change to a supportive build, you're going to be a good conjurer if you want to buff and support/heal.
What is your realm?

Welcome to Regnum!

If you mean solo lvling, a summon would be useful. If you mean you want to solo PvP, that's pretty hard thing to do for a conjurer (aka warjurer) since they aren't an offensive class although it's not impossible. The mainstream population however prefers full support conjurers (especially without a summon, 'cos they tend to get in the way). So it's up to you what build you'd like to play with.

well until you're of high enough lvl to be in the warzone, I suggest you have a build solely for lvling, that means as much dmging spells as possible, mana controlling, self healing and summons. Conjurers are the easiest class to lvl because they never need to rest after some lvl because they can have all the mana they want and heal themselves afterwards, while having their summon do the damage and help with a few dmging spells as well.

A support conjurer imo is the only conjurer that should be in the warzone however. That means a build for buffing/healing/giving mana/resurrecting other players, and self-defense/healing/mana control, and of course, NO summons.

It's always your choice how you play however, ppl usually tend to treat conju's like they are their servants. Just ignore them and dont heal these morrons.

Sorry, but if you're ordering him to be a support only and no summons conjuror, that is similar to treating him like a servant ;)

Anyway, I do agree though. Warlocks can steal your summon and it gets in the way of targetting enemies too and is a waste of discipline and power points. Actually, summon things if you're from alsius or ignis. And make them worthwhile. :sifflote:

There is nothing wrong with being able to summon, it helps a lot while leveling. I think (at least I hope) what Miraculix wanted to say is: don't bring your summon to a fort war.

You can help a lot in war even if you are not set up for full support. Get the healing skills and Mana Communion as high as possible and use them properly and nobody will complain. What you do with the rest is your choice.

uh, i only said that *imo* a conju should only be in the wz as a support conju. In other words, if *I* were a conju, i'd be as a full support conju in the wz. I aint tellin noone how to play. They wanna be free rp, go ahead :p

well i only know a little bout conjurers but enough to get by
what i found the most useful way is to get energy burrow and ambitous sacrifice asap as someone said before it makes it so you can continuossly kill mobs without needing to rest

I don't use Energy Borrow.
Against mobs it is notoriously unreliable.

As a conjurer, solo leveling it can be used when sacrifice is on cooldown.

I rarely have that problem. And I use approximately 400 mana per mob. I'm sure conjurors use less.

Also, just so you know, the fact that you get the most rp doesn't necessarily mean that's the most effective setup or whatever.

not nessisarily. .
although warlocks do generally use more spells we have to periodically get a new zarkit, which is 600 mana, this, plus spells (and buffs if you happen to use them) can be quite a drain.
Therefore both ambitious and borrow are useful.
You may not think so, but remember, I'm the one who plays the conjurer ;)

No you don't, you're a full-on warjurer, GOGO warjurers! :D

Mana Pool helps a lot. You get 100 Mana per point on this skill.

Therefore both ambitious and borrow are useful.
yea, i agree.

Solo lvling is boring, with every class. I would try to find a group whenever it is possible. It is more fun.
But if you want to lvl alone... get staff mastery for mana communion and summon. I would skill mental or the staff mastery skills to do more dmg.

I dislike the idea of using a summon in a group, because you dont have enough mana for the others. No way.

How much exp you get from supporting grinding parties depends on how much healing/buffs you use on your party members as well as how high your skill/spell lvl is. The more you heal/buff and the higher your skill lvl the more your exp share will be. Of course, some conjus (and warlocks even) tend to buff more than necessary to leech more exp. In some cases this is frowned upon, in others some willingly let conjus leech as much exp as they can in order to help a friend conju.

Btw, welcome to Alsius. Glad you joined the superior side ;)

I'd *also* like to add that the larger your group, the better the xp you'll get from auras, which are probably your best source of xp.

Just because you heavily outnumbered and slaughtered us several times at PP doesn't mean you're the superior side :sifflote:

Against mobs it is notoriously unreliable.

I only have problems with Energy Borrow getting evaded against stronger monsters (Challenging/Yellow or higher). Sometimes when my warlock is fighting Challenging monsters and needs mana, I'll actually steal the mana from a far easier monster that's nearby, to greatly reduce the chance of evasion.

I would have to say that getting Energy Borrow and Ambitious Sacrifice will be a huge benefit for grinding as well as war.
