How do you deal with the Summoner?

[kattuktk]

1hp? o.O you guys letet you hp packs to end intentionally? lol

Mages who dont have **** tons of hp saved up in hp packs can do this one easily, the 1 HP mage trick finishes the summoner in about 7 mins

[Skribz]

Mages keep:
matk astral+EWD (or deter/crit if crit..)
Wep and both jewels, take off the hp/mdef gems from the gears.
Every1 else just takes off everything.

i run with this guy ^ him and another mage use rof's to wipe out the clones in 1 shot.. we loose 0 hp, fight lasts as long as it takes the 2 rofs to land (6-10 seconds including loading)... the 2 archers in the party dont even need to use skills, dont need to set scatter or puri and hope for silly ai. me and the other archer can afk,, go for a smoke.. grab a light snack.. we just let the mages do all the work... (sorry for that guys)... but that just shows how effective it is right?

20 summons takes maybe 5 mins? unless someone has to empty bag or something comes up.

ive ran with some missmatched guys..
where 20 summons takes 30 mins because people are just idiots..
having to run back to start of the map each and every time..
getting that annoying message saying im to weak to complete the map and to come back when im stronger..
letting 1 guy stay dressed because its "better" then watching him fight for 2 mins against his stupid ai thats using scatter and loose... just to start over and the same thing happen..
loosing hp every summons..
getting very very frustrated...

the above method is by far the best imo

Wow.....well I'm far too lazy to spend all that time and coordination preparing for summoner.........my group just throws some useless "effect" skills on two of our Hotbar slots and summons straight up with all our original equipment. We do all attempts in about 20 minutes and call it good. Never have any issues with getting killed by our clones.

thats why we just take off defense and hp astrals and medallions, put on stupid skills and straight aoe.... knight is usually toughest, so he just goes naked. 20 minutes, done

As skribz said in above post ^ just get mage to throw RoF, takes 5min and 95% of that is loading and picking chest/switching guy who uses keys.... I honestly dont know why you care about stuffs as useless skills,,.... ai will always go after player if u click skill when it turns black and if done right wipe the whole enemy team before they casted something.

we only remove healing spells from bar

hardcore baby!

[OpaGangnam]

mage with only weapon equiped and astral on only ewd and matk ... the best and fastest way.

Given the mage has run outta hp packs

[krackenker]

Given the mage has run outta hp packs

I buy her dinner, she's very kind to me

[Telstar]

Mage(s) without healing skills, and nothing else.

Whole point on my end was not wanting to strip the whole party down to just a few items. I have a horrible short term memory in this game and since I do my MP runs pretty much right before I go to bed the chance of me forgetting about the changes I made is pretty good. So I'm much more comfortable with just dropping heals off my Hotbar and replacing them with two copies of puri. the extra 15 minutes it takes this way as opposed to the way Skribz mentioned is really inconsequential.

if its 1 key run a night.. not so bad... if your trying to use 600+ keys though (20 summons runs)

that 15 mins becomes per run becomes 45 mins extra per day,, or 5 hours in total,,, real quick lol.

but yea.. if its just a case of using 30 keys(1 run) then doing normal mps while saving keys for next summons.. not so much of an issue..

When I was doing summoner for 60 stones it was usually once a week 3 runs. Not sure what activity or level range is on your server but We don't have people running 3 key runs a day every day for a week on S130. I have a fairly busy life imo, but gaming is my zen place and I don't have much of an issue spending time on the game when I'm not at work or playing with my daughter so I don't usually look at it from a "time maximization" standpoint.

[Stronmer]

what me and our server does.

1# everyone unequipes except archer. archer has the scatter skill equiped
he wont use it but the enemy version of the archer will use it and
you wont be atked so it helps. soo archer does brutality then Aoe.

2#knight equied with intercept put in back formation archer front keep more
then 1 skill like slasher ultimate slasher so the enemy version of the
knight wont use intercept on your team so quick.

& repete these steps.

[Mibbette]

Reading this made me smile! All we do is remove any self healing skill, then go in and all start with brutality rune and aoe. Only takes a couple of rounds before we kill the AI's. 1 mage, 2 archers and a knight in DT this is
