#5567, "RE: Summon as a ganking tool"
|
It could still be used to break up a three on one as I've suggested it, because the chance of backfire is related to the number of people on the summoner's side. So a summoner on his own can safely summon anyone from a group of three. But a summoner in a group of three (even if not grouped -- just being in the same area) might end up sending himself the other way.
Summon is reliable enough. I play quite a lot of summoners, and have played all four summoning classes (paladin, shaman, ap, necro) at least once, and most a few times or more. If you are with a group, and spot another group, it basically allows you to gank them if they don't have their own summoner and succeed in ganking you first. Conjurers are usually not around to prevent summoning in either fashion.
I just don't see any drawbacks to what I've suggested. I know it would take some coding time, but I genuinely think it would be worth it. It's chances of backfire are directly proportional to the size of the enemy force that the summoning is being used for.
