Lost Ark SUMMONER PET BUILD Complete Guide & Best Practices

[@aidoken9093]

I can see over 1000 hrs of actually playing this build and experience in this guide. Fantastic!

[@BallisticsBear]

Really incredibly informative guide! The ancient spear placement is super useful and very well explained. Thanks so much! Can’t wait for the summer to hit!

[@Sameon94]

It's important to re-iterate that even though the Meta build is Full Swiftness Hallucination, the pre-requisite to having the build actually be better than Charming and Salvation is to have -Gems +9 -All Tripods at max -Swiftness at 1747 (For both Raid Captain Value AND Self-buff rotations/consistency) Charming and Salvation both do more damage unless you're able to complete the above because of the way the pet builds damage is calculated. Optimal Relic path based on gems/tripods should be Charming -> Salvation -> Hallucination

[@LuniaraZerafina]

Wow Syvo what a Good Guide especially the Ancient Spear positioning most ppl wouldnt even mentoin that. Thanks alot cant wait to play Summoner

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Glad it helped

[@KawaiiFist]

Omgggg made my summoner before I went to work today 😭😭 she’s so fun omg!!! Waited so long for her !

[@yonut32]

let's goooooo IM READY TO CALL MY TIBBERS ONCE AGAIN

[@GW-ny5rv]

Best guides - hands down! Thanks for all you do for the LA community, Sywo!

[@Thexis_]

Thank you for another great guide! I can't wait to play this class!

[@NotSkander]

stopped in april but had always wanted to try this class and pet playstyle so i guess im coming back

[@tungnuen]

Learned about shift move pet trick. That is amazing.

[@gorinpean]

sywo really makes the best LA vids by far. would love one in this style on blade aeromancer

[@leonichida3034]

Pet build looks so much fun, can’t wait to try it out!!!!

[@LzHiei]

Thank you for the in-depth / deep dive guide for the swiftness. The beautiful mess feels like a full blown AT Scouter rotation and I've been enjoying Scouter so much now compare to Scrapper. Now I need to put time to Summoner and maybe decide to push her as 6 roster.

[@StrifeeXY]

nice vid, excited to play pet summoner

[@christophreinhardt3627]

I realy like your Videos. Your love for the summoner hyped me so much. I can't wait to start mine this week. Thanks

[@willn8664]

It's funny how Necromancy is technically a summoning type of engraving but still useless even for a Summoner.

[@Pboy2010]

In yhuuuuuuyyui80😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@cristianstuparu3668]

Miss live on youtube man...By the way nice guide!!!

[@hiskification]

Great guide as always!Now im confuse whether to main pet or ancient build xD

[@Valgarv_Mazoku]

I've seen the 2 videos and I'm still undecided on which summoner to get. I really like the summoning theme but I find it boring to always summon the same summon (spec summoner), I thought I would enjoy summoning more with the spec build but now I see that only Akir is used.

[@PaulDoesDamage]

I'm undecided too :D I will let my soul stones decide

[@Valmar123123]

@@PaulDoesDamage One of each! Thats the answer to your problems!

[@Adjust91]

Is it worth casting akir at all or do we go for alimaji? (Phoenix with charm set)

[@Cherrylishious]

Love u Sywosenpai! thank you so much again!! i will try this build :D

[@andrewy9892]

I am so excited for the summoner to drop tomorrow >.< I have been waiting for this since the game launch here in the U.S.

Love you sywo exactly what I needed

[@tilethamelendez9417]

Can't wait to build this on Wednesday!

[@furqanhameed5701]

Awesome guide Got a question, if i plan on using charming set with increase mass, does the penalty apply to summon attack speed too?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi, it does not. But i don't advise playing Charm set with Mass Increase because you will only have ~1200 swiftness and cutting 10% from that attack speed feels a bit weird

[@furqanhameed5701]

Tyty

[@杜凌昊]

Hi, Thank you soooo much for your nice guide. Just one question here, can you list the priority of the tripods since you selected here in the guide is 21 in total but I think we can have only 18

[@ersatztutor]

Why does Hit Master not work on the Awakening :*( I just got a 8/9 hm/cd stone...

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Well then play the spec build :D

[@AlexLeDuc01]

Hello, i discover you very recently and i appreciate a lot your vidéo about summoner. The choice is hard for me between the two class engraving and you help me so much. And a chance for me i understand your english very good. Kiss from France

[@user-fv7jd4xj5n]

I want to come back to the game but I always get the The region is closed and can’t be selected error when trying to play :/

[@mikopo88]

flashbang alert was funny xd

[@Michael-ur3ju]

Those pets should last longer, I feel like I have to keep casting. The attack effect should be fancier if possible on pets, and I hope that dog pet can be a bit bigger. It's interesting though the monster will bypass my pets and attack me, lol.

[@charlottesplayground1096]

how is the DPS on the pet build? gatekeepers seem to only take master summoner and insta deny pet builds. they say it deals no dps. im thinking of respeccing to master. i mean i have 4x3 +1 lvl 7 gems full relics and cant get into any party for valtan hm far above the ilvl xD

[@Sith90lord]

If the class engraving buffs also the awakening, and hit master is not recommended because it doesn't affect the awakening (a 5min cd ability), how is the awakening engraving? Wouldn't using the awakening twice as often be good?

[@lyth1990]

amazing guide!!! 10/10

[@dagameplaya2]

If we are unable to cut a 9/7 stone would you still go for Adrenaline 3 over Adrenaline 2 + Grand Summoner 1 since you already have over 60% crit for KBW to be effective?

[@imperialblack1]

was thinking the same

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi! Great question. Yes I would but there is probably little difference in DPS between the 2 options you gave. (Adre might still win). With Adre 2 you'd be at 69% crit rate which is great but then you'd get the bubble cost reduction + enhancement on Ancients + Spear which brings value. Especially if you're using Cursed Doll 3 for some reason, a lower level of Adre+smt else on the side is actually "better". Some other practical reason to take Adre 3: 1. It's probably cheaper than buying a Master Summoner 5 piece 2. Some pugs will think it's a bad build if they don't see 5 x 3 (yeah don't ask), and I might get 1% more gatekept 3. Adre also gives me atk power so with a Charm set I'm better off there (plus Phoenix un-enhanced procs Charm) Overall, in a build based on cooldown reduction and not Spec, one level of Adre beats one level of Master Summoner. More crit chance for all skills not just Ancient + normal, and more damage for everything not just Ancients and Normal.

[@max417481]

Outstanding guide thx

[@chilltekalp5857]

For now summoner is going to be an alt but she looks so interesting and I might build both builds for here once the stuff doesn’t cost that much anymore and maybe she might even get into my main roster

[@ElGatoSamurai90]

Good guide! Hope i wont get gatekeep in order to try this class as cheap alt in legions raids, atleast this class have a 12% def reduction sinergy...

[@johndorian3097]

Does mass increase slow pet attacks or just summoner?

[@restless42]

I wanted to make a second support but I am intrigued to try a pet class in Lost Ark

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Go for it!

[@r18ch10]

I have a question. With your skill build, Im getting this this error "Maximum number of active skill tree is 18" just wondering how your build is able to have more than 18 active skills, is this an NA thing?

[@andre-x1]

Can pets take orbs like in Valtan g1 and vykas g1? and if so whats the best way to deal with that?

[@ZombieTVrawr]

Thank you for the guide! Question: How are you figuring the 35% crit chance from stats when you're only running 500 stats on crit?

[@gito0319]

Adrenaline level3?

[@ZombieTVrawr]

@@gito0319 he mentioned 65% crit chance in the charm set build. 15 of that is adren 3. And 35 is crit stat. Im assuming he puts more into crit instead of swift. More like a 60/40 split

[@quipham1053]

@@ZombieTVrawr base crit from books, bracelet and pet 10% stat.

[@gorinpean]

can pet summoner use dominion fang, then run more crit accessories? running raid captain and hallucination/salvation in this build feels kinda inefficient

[@xFlowerpot]

Can you run this build for most PvE content like chaos dungeons etc. or should you change it up?

[@NekrosWorld]

What the best for a new player swiftns or spec ?

[@ΔημήτριοςΣισαμόπουλος]

Should i go with other relic gear apart from hallucination? Is nightmare or domination good for this build?

[@DC-wo2yb]

Salvation or charm

[@ZMoKeBr]

Anyone know if mass increase reduces pet auto attacks aswell?

[@nostrahazer8970]

hi. im curious how is the damage comparison between this swiftness pet build to spec ancient build? if its not that big of a difference i would play swiftness pet build cuz it seems so fun to play

[@blk8366]

i think spec build deal more dmg

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Hi, Spec build is ~12% more dps

[@nostrahazer8970]

@@PaulDoesDamage i see thanks but im assuming thats on perfect scenario isnt it? anyway ill just play 2 builds then lmfao. these 2 playstyle is too good to be missed imo xd

[@2UsserName]

After some play on sorc, now i dont like chargable skills, so i decided to play for summoner and i see she has 2 charge skills, like sorc.. so qusetion is, do summoner worth to play, if we take to attention her damage? or is she still worst than sorc?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Lower DPS potential than a sorc yes

[@koynov333]

@Sywo Hi, thank you for this video. I have a question. I have 12 books Hit master, is it so bad to use it in the pet build? People say to use cursed doll, but with hit master i can make 5x3 build.

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Feel free to use HM if you already have it. Especially because you only need a 5/3HM or 4/3HM piece so it should be easy to replace later.

[@Nopkllz]

did u say day 2 lvl 5 tripods?

[@cancan6428]

20:09 I take your word and use my pass on summoner pet build summoner it is

[@Michael-ur3ju]

The pets last so short, I wish they last longer like a 60s or something.

[@W_Oxygen]

Cant wait for this on 14 december

[@michaelbitter7682]

I understand both are vialbe but which do you main? If I can only pick one, I want to pick the one you main. I assume it is spec caster summoner not pet, right?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

I chose Spec because it makes more sense to invest into the build that does more DPS. At the end of the day, you will want good numbers on top of fun.

[@officialkirin7219]

I really like the playstyle of the build a lot but I just can't play it because the pets look so bad, that I can't take my summoner serious while having that big Teddy Bear running around. So I went with Spec Build where I don't have to see the pets.

[@jeremyko]

Is it viable to use other runes if I do not have judgement and conviction yet?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Yes of course. Until you really get used to your Swift Summ, you will probably not run out of mana, as you will be moving more than spamming skills, so you can take your time with the Convi/Judge runes

[@Rambunctiousgus]

Thanks again for such a great guide!! Now idk if I want the swift or spec build 😩 Sounds hella expensive for the swift but idk!

[@Bitney01]

It is only expensive if you want to push her gems Lv8 + I think that jewels will be cheaper than the spec build to my opinion

[@Rambunctiousgus]

@@Bitney01 ooo ok well I would like +8 gems eventually but I guess I’ll try swift build since I want the pets :/ lol

[@Bitney01]

@@Rambunctiousgus what cost the most ar Lv10 damage gems. Swift build uses 8 of them thats why it is more expensive because CD gems are cheaper. But Lv10 gems is an end game goal so you have plenty times to build slowly : )

[@Rambunctiousgus]

@@Bitney01 oh ok good to know! Will invest in gems then 😩 and I have a question not sure if you can answer it but I’m going on vacay to Hong Kong can I use a VPN to play my NA acct?! Or will I get banned?? How does zeals and ATK do if with out getting banned?? I’m lost

[@Bitney01]

@@Rambunctiousgus Hmm, I think that VPN are not allowed but not sure ... You maybe gind your answer on Reddit ? I think that the korean streamers have a "deal" with Amazon because they are doing their communication way better than Amazon does 😅

[@azrael213]

Raid captain is damage % increase and curse doll is attack %. I don't think you can compare them 1:1. Dmg % is more than attack %

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Yeah. We are comparing them because there are already 4 engravings as core, so the rest are competing against each other.

[@meitwasnt6705]

Hello, i just got my summoner to 1445 and tried out this build, but the problem is i always run out of mana, what am i doing wrong?

[@WhoIsAliceD]

You are not level 60 yet

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Conviction and Judgement runes are very nice to have. The mana tripod on your Water Spirit is a great and additionally you can run with Shrudi's mana tripod too, even though it's a slight DPS loss

[@jessesenpai6473]

I like this build its fun

[@Landstalker1999]

This class is so nice. I can't believe this class got pushed all the way back. The only downside to this class is that it lacks mobility.

Sywo, I counted 20 active tripods, what's the 2 that I can drop?

Hi, Weak Point Detection on Water spirit and Wisdom of the Elemental also on Water Spirit.

Guys where should i start EU central or west?

Central!

[@ginichi3230]

how this build is ok in content like chaos? with a lot of mobs ?

[@PaulDoesDamage]

It's not a good build for chaos dungeons, but with a Betrayal set, any build/class is more or less free loot.

[@deathm3846]

i dont know who to play summoner or sorcerer

[@emotionbirnemelisse]

thanks for this - i am a "main" summoner player in every game (diablo, poe etc) Got 1 question left sywo - how would you see in terms of apm / piano compared to crit reflux sorc is the pet build? More keyboard mashing or less? Edit: I currently have my main dps alt a 1505 reflux sorc and the summoner will take her place once there eventually (saved power pass and express mission) Would you recommend starting with charm set or go straight for hallucination? Weapon quality and engravings will take a bit obviously ty

[@PaulDoesDamage]

Yeah i think Summoner needs 3 extra fingers compared to Reflux :D

[@Szabyka24]

bless you!

[@kushlyyy]

wow i just luckily cut a 9-7 grudge/hitmaster rock and i see this video right after. sad....

[@0nowztar495]

for the info.. if you get a 9-7 stone and double legendary engravings.. there is a better build.. what is mentioned in this video for hallucination with double engravings is the end game build withoutt a 9-7.. there is still a better END END game build.. Overflow lvl3 - Grudge lvl3 - Raid lvl3 - Keen lvl3 - Hit Master lvl3 - Adrenaline lvl 2.. this is what you shud be aiming for with 9-7 stone and double leg engravings.. (couple notes: 1. what i mentioned here above is higher dps then the double engravings one.. 2. don't replace hit master with cursed doll its less damage.. 3. standard rotation opener with keybindings in this video.. pre pull.. S,F,D > Q,W,A,E(F,D)R cancel animation with R then Identity) Q has your conviction and W has your judgement runes.. you want to cast A and E and R and identity within that time window..
