Lost Ark SUMMONER. Choosing Your BUILD. PETS vs ANCIENTS

[@davidskidmore3442]

I want to thank you, Sywo, for this video. I wanted to play summoner on release, but it wasn't included. I played for a few months and quit. When I heard Summoner was coming, I got my game patched up to get back into it, and then your video reminded me of all the reasons I quit playing the game. I know this wasn't your intention, but I thank you for it anyway.

[@DEFENDORHQ]

Much appreciated bud! Been wanting to jump into the Mage class, and Summoner animations look like the pinnacle for sure! Cant wait to delve into Advanced/Senior Summoner for the Ancients 😍

[@Shibby]

Great video as always.

[@rjacks3284]

in trixion the dps difference is around 10 -15 % but in a real fight it depends on the boss and how many dps immune phases it has. its why swiftness builds have big disadvantages in this game. the spec build will always do at least 15% more dmg in a real fight and that percentage goes up the more dps immune phases a boss has. however swift summoner is one of the best classes to learn a boss fight with because its so easy to deal dmg so its not all bad for the swift build.

[@Gleandra]

Interesting. What I missed in this video, was a comparison to other classes. I still have no idea where Summoner even stands in terms of damage to other top classes.

[@jerrodartis5733]

Yea.. When he said 14% difference, i was like "umm thats pretty large". Cant downplay that difference imo.

[@loatwec]

I am VERY new to the game, and did not see anyone else asking in the comments, so I guess I will. Why is swiftness called agility in his video and when he is pointing at the "Ancient Energy" engraving, does he mean Communication Overflow? Maybe he is using mods, or a planner website or something else I am missing. I would just like to be on the right page when trying to figure out what to do as a new player. This has me confused as hell. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer.

[@kiloromeo7653]

He is playing the Russian version of the game, Korea version also has different names for things.

[@ptilu3220]

Thanks for the video. I am really excited to play the pet build summoner. I wonder how much % on the damage is done by the pets because it seems we don't use senior summoner in top 5 engraving which should give +10% damage to pets and 16% crit so it does not seem bad. Any insight please ?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi! Yes, the pet (summon) build doesn't use Senion Summoner, but its fine bcs it doesn't affect summon skills, only ancient and normal skills. It is a great 6th lvl 1 engraving though

[@ptilu3220]

@@PaulDoesDamage Thx you very much. At some point, you mentioned the charm relic set as an option but i could not find any korean in the top 500 summoners on loa using it. Is it still a possiblity ?

[@akazaka3578]

@@PaulDoesDamage Pleased to hear this. I really want to play the swiftness build to start with, but after watching saintone's video he really made it sound like you should run the senior summoner lvl 1 engraving. Even if it meant going 4x3 +1 for now. I might try your 5x3 suggestion though. I didn't save many mats and not a whale so she'll be chilling at lower ilvl for a bit while I slowly grind her up. Looks really fun though and possibly a main long-term.

[@Sith90lord]

Dunno if i should use the express on a Sorc now, or wait for Summoner... Which has the more lightning effects/skills? I love lightning skills

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hm 🙂 There is a bit on the pet awakening, and if you count the electric storm as lightning then you can have more of it. Also the ancient skill Akir i sort of lightning but golden color. You deffo have more here than on sorc 😆

[@Steefpeer]

I think maybe gunlancer has the most skills with lightning effects, but they are not like thunderstrikes. And also probably not the class you are looking for hahaha

[@GuruChaz]

Questing up to 50 took a long time but was fun. I took my level 50 character with 302 gear and stopped playing for 6 months. When I came back, I bought the $50 booster for South Vern. I was excited to get the updated armor and whatever perks came with it. What I wasn't expecting was that it would bypass all the questing in Yorn and Punika completely. Then, I couldn't find anymore story quests for my level at all. It was just grinding for gear upgrades and even then, you still had to have components which would still eventually run out. Get ready for your gear honing to fail a lot. You will also lose a lot of components. I got to like 1415 and then stopped playing again because I ran out of a certain small yellow gem and it was monotonous and boring. I hate to bring World of Warcraft into this but I think they do expansions properly. You can still boost your character up but they make you do the storyline for the next 10 levels. You don't bypass any quests from the new expansion. This is what Lost Ark and other MMOs should do. Boost to a certain point but don't cut out all the quests for the new content. In this way, the game is somewhat poorly designed. It's just another money grab. So, I left again to go play World of Warcraft and it's a lot of fun.

[@bear7722]

point of powerpasses in lost ark is so you can skip the story if you’ve already done it since repitition is just stale

[@mugiciansummoner]

Nice video sywo!

[@rodrigoonorati3474]

Nice video ! Great information Sywo, thx a lot ! I have a question. If i make an alter 4x3 Summoner Spec, which engraving should i cut ?

[@ToriGrace]

i really enjoyed this video thank you! after thinking i would like sorcerer reflux i ended up hating how spammy it was.. and was so sure I wouldn't touch summoner swift build but you actually explained it well and it doesn't seem as bad. I really want to get to the spec build but might run swiftness until i can afford to. thanks again!

[@TheeGoDLikes]

I bought my accessoires for summoner back in august, everything is 90+ and cost me about 100k. There was almost no info on her, so it was rather cheap. Looking f orward to release

[@wallaceluna6241]

Thank you for the video, it was really helpful as I plan to main this class. Only one question left in my mind. Which voice do your character have? 😂 I really like this voice setup, so when I create the character I would like to choose this one. Thank you, if you can check it for me. (I hope they are in the same order in our version)

[@scarlettlavey]

Dumb question: Is it worth running All-Out-Attack on a Senior Summoner build? Thought it doesn't since you only have two casting skills and are not as much focused on them as when you play the other class engraving. Still I kinda think I would feel more comfortable with that engraving. Edit: typo

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi, that would be a bad idea. However, you can absolutely choose the casting speed tripods (up to lvl5) on both the casts in the spec build. One of them even has a leg galewind so it's really not as bad. With a support in your grp you'll feel good

[@scarlettlavey]

@@PaulDoesDamage Thanks for the answer! I'll keep that in mind when I get my summoner alt.

[@nostrahazer8970]

is spec summoner a good 1445 alt? or maybe which do u recommend for 1445 alt, spec or swift summoner? thanks in advance

[@Ozzy-wf1do]

Just one question about the difference in dps between the 2 build. In real fight, the uptime of the minions build should be better that the high summoner and so reduce the difference between them ?

[@Bitney01]

Indeed, the swiftness version with the pets is perma dpsing, while the spec version is more bursty. In other words, pets dps non stop even if there are dodge patterns to do so yes it is a big thing. Plus, pets skills don't have long animation to cast

[@Ozzy-wf1do]

@@Bitney01 thanks, now need to see what build is accepted in party finder (Get some exclusion with a reflux swiftness) or if all build will be accepted

[@Bitney01]

@@Ozzy-wf1do as Sywo said, all builds for Summoner are strong. The spec one is top meta but the swift one is also very strong. A korean gamers made the top score on an event guardian with swift build. Weird that people don't accept you as a Reflux sorc, I often got mvp with my reflux sorcs

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi yes that's true, reason why some people got to even ~7% DPS difference in between the two. At the same time, bosses with longer DR patterns (typing test in Vykas, Mario prep in Kuku) suck more for the swift build than they do for the spec one, because the goal is to constantly have pets on the boss while you avoid the small patterns.

[@Zhoriizon313]

There has never been any class I wanted to play both except this one. Both seem fun, both seem viable. I’m gonna be broke trying to get gems and gear for both unique class engravings sheesh.

[@puhdyn1]

Hew bro, nice video! I’d like to go spec / swift one, with halucination… tell me If i’m wrong… The engravings i’m plaining to have is: Master Sumonner Hit master KBW Grudge Adrenaline It’s right? Or you think the spec crit with salvation do more damge? (And what the engravings btw?)

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hey man, yeah, those are the best engravings for a spec build regardless if you go hallu or salvation. I think that Salvation + Crit could be better at level 2 and once you have lvl 5 crit tripod on Shrudi, bracelet with crit, and level 9 cd gems

[@puhdyn1]

@@PaulDoesDamage oh... fine. So, you think that. Spec + Crit, with salvation, and Master Sumonner . Hit master. KBW. Grudge. Adrenaline gonna be the better one? :)

[@PaulDoesDamage]

@puhdyn1 Yeah it's a longer answer, but whatever you can get to 70% crit chance without using a set for it, it's more dmg from salv

[@puhdyn1]

@@PaulDoesDamage i got it, but what’s about change adrenaline for cursed doll, isn’t better?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

@puhdyn1 you would still use Adrenaline because it's mega value over CD in a 5eng setup. If you can only aford 4engr, than sure, you can give up Adre, play Hallu set, Crit on neck and use GR, KB, Masrer Summ and a 4th of your choice

[@sagar21771]

hi, I'm considering of going swift spec pet hallucination build with 9/7 stone Keen blunt lvl3 grudge lvl3 Adrenaline lvl3 raid captain lvl3 communication/pet lvl3 greater summoning lvl1 8 attack gems, 3 cdr gem, just wanted to know if this build is good or not?

[@VVoude]

Good luck getting 9-7 stone lmao

[@FatedLotus]

What voice option did you go with?

[@Bitney01]

Hey Sywo, I have a question : do you think that Lv.7 CD gems will be enough to maintain Adrenaline for a spec build ?

[@jcny08]

What are the best cards for the summoner?

[@imperialblack1]

is hit master on swift build ok over raid captain? @Sywo

[@immfrosty87]

Idea for video but we need it yesterday. Summoner voice lines on all 4 so we see what we like

[@koynov333]

why no hit master instead cured doll or raid caption for the swift build?

[@PureRandumosity]

Swift build doesn’t run hitmaster cause that engraving doesn’t effect the charming set which is what will be doing most of your damage early on when building for swift before transitioning into hallucination. For swift your engravings should look like class/grudge/keen blunt/adrenaline/ raid captain or cursed doll

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi, Hit Master is good too (except for the Charm set) like Pure mentioned. I didn't have it in this example because Raid Captain is a few % better once you get to 136% move speed.

[@swiergol666]

When you start play second build you are so happy ;p

[@Slayn5]

Hey Sywo one quick question, why is Spec + Haste instead of Spec+ Crit? Thanks for the showcase btw!

[@TheLolman01]

summoner got shrudi skill which buffs Crit rate by about 12% so you dont need Crit stat

[@Bellloish]

Spec+swift=hallucination, spec+crit=salvation

[@nemeinmedia]

Ignore @Garrat 's response, it's completely irrelevant and inaccurate. Summoner can build two ways, You can go Spec+swift with Hallucination gear, or Spec+Crit with salvation. Salvation gives attack speed that you miss from the Swift stat, and Hallucination gives crit rate that you miss from the Crit stat.

[@EnergicLP]

spec+crit (salvation set) has higher damage numbers/ceiling than the spec+swift (hallucination set). Thats all just theory tho considering you rotate your skills well and hit your spells (which will be harder to do without the extra swiftness, also dodging boss patterns will be harder). Its all up to personal preference. Both builds perform extremely well, its just that the spec+swift build is conisdered "more meta" on the Korean server, yet some veteran summoner players prefer the salvation spec+crit :) Hope that helped you out.

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi, well you can play swift with a Hallucination set or crit with a Salvation set. Or you can even have crit with Hallucination for example. My preference is swift as secondary until I really get into lvl 10 gem and lvl 5 tripod territory

[@pedromoreira6218]

Sywo let me just say your character is very pretty i was wondering if youd be willing to share her customisation ?

[@Voojitsu]

For switfness build is lvl 1 class engraving viable or is lvl 3 mandatory?

[@Bitney01]

With the last rework that happened in Korea this summer, it is mendatory to have lv3 class engravings for swiftness because the lv1 and lv3 diffenrence is HUGE. The've done this to cancel the double classe engravings usage for the Summoners.

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Like Bitney said. But you can eventually use the spec engraving as your 6th at lvl 1 in a swift build

[@Allucards]

You also can drop Adrenaline to level 2 and use the other engrave at level 1.
