Is this supposed to be fixed now?

I like the new summons somehow, but in my opinion the new metal golem looks like a watering can.

Agreed, i dont like it either, the other lvl 1 - 4 are awesome but the lvl 5 version should look a bit less dumb :P Looks like coming from a junk yard..

Picture of the watering can, please?
I cant have a lv 5 golem with my conju yet :/
Edit: I found a picture in the Spanish forum. I think it looks awesome

[Turiviel]

yay sounds like something new ;D
time to check it all.. but huh
when it will be on horus?

In my opinion they should make that watering can golem be the lvl 1 golem and the magna golem be the lvl 5 one.

And, please NGD please! Screw that ugly and stupid lich,
I want the incorporeal back!
Not because they could do double-hits, no, but because they looked just cool!

i have that with knocks, if i knock someone he just keep standing up.

edit: i also had this with a lock a couple of stages ago, he was just standing infront off me but my logg showed me he was attacking me.
also i had the bug when you are killed, respawn and attacked again you lay down on the ground like you are dead with full health bar, can't turn or anything, i could not make a vid since i don't have the right program, also there are numerous of different visual buggs like this.

for example: if you are knocked and you select another enemy while being knocked you see yourself standing up and preparing to attack.
another: bug with forced dismount, i dismounted someone and he floated on the ground in riding position was funny.

The new summons are funny. And it feels a lot more like a "conjurer" since youre able to have several in parallel.

The numbers still need tweaking though: Every summon spell costs around 500 mana. Even the 10s duration "imps". Those are melee creatures that even need to get to their target.
I have not looked at it deep enough to see if their damage compensates for this, but from the numbers i have seen the spell needs some tweaking.
How about making some of the summons nondamaging, but either supportive or CC-based? Like a zombie holding you back so you are slowed down (immobilized?) until it is killed? Or a sprite (or sth less cute, just needed an example) that adds a regen effect to an ally, again until it is killed.

Changing the whole tree to rather short duration spells - not prebuffable spells - makes the class even more prone to the effect of confuse. This skill needs to be adressed before the update.

ps: i imagined imps as small-scale gargoyles rather than goblors. You wouldnt mind changing that, would you? =)

Well, that would be very better than goblors. I mean, goblors are not as magic as gargoyles, mummies, golems, ghosts, and so one ...

Apropos ghosts ... hope they will change the lich back to the incorporeal ...
