Original Sin 2: So You Want To Be A Summoner (aka Sebille) 

Totally didn't forget talents. If you couldn't find them, here's what I'd run: Get hothead (pew pew) Far out man (2m range matters. Ask her how she'd feel if your appendage was 2m longer) Elemental ranger and arrow recovery are traps. It's much easier to just buy or make the special arrows you need without wasting a talent point and elemental ranger most of the time is counter intuitive in the sense that it procs on the element the ENEMY is standing in, so if the enemy is like a fire slug making fire on the ground, you hitting it would heal it. After that choose between executioner and the pawn. I'd personally rather have the free re-positioning than an extra 2 ap maybe per combat encounter. I'm not ballsy enough to get glass cannon, cause I noticed they focus you so hard if you get it and I like my armor having a purpose XD

"Cast self harm on your elf arm to give your elf harm"... ok,ok. I subscribe! Calm down! xD

I just recently discovered this game and I'm OBSESSED currently, so I really appreciate all your guides! I'm currently playing a conjuror and can use all the tips and tricks I can find 😅

My friends and I had a playthrough where I, the warrior, and my friend, the rogue, inspected the Incarnate and felt very inferior. We kept making comments like "what do you need us for, we'll just hold you back" "Why don't you just get the godlike incarnate to kill it or help you". The summoner then proceeded to solo 50% of the game.

Uses flesh sacrifice, incarnate: "It's free real estate"

I really like these guides. They explain the classes in depth and in a easy to understand way. Your humor is also greatly appreciated, keeping the guide entertaining and also dropping interesting tips and hints about the lesser known aspects of the game mechanics . I hope you continue making these for the rest of the classes, along with your suggestions for what companion best suits what class....Also first.

Having a party member talk to the characters while you set up your incarnate and totems is brilliant

playing through this with my brother and i do wish you still made content. that said, everything here is amazing.

"I just hit 50 subscribers". Lol.

These are great, I cannot believe you've only been doing this a few weeks. You more than deserve the sub. Thanks for the build info!

Summoner+huntsman+polymorph on Sebile =GG. Stacking spread your wings and tactical retreat is insanely useful on her as you can reposition with haste, flesh sacrifice, summon, buff summon once and then get your wings out or just buff summon twice. My Sebile generally spends the fight summoning and flying around taking any opportunities that arise to use marksmans fang on any targets my mage is working on so I can ignore physical armor on enimies who have a lot of it but are lacking magic armor. The Medusa head skill is also a nice clutch CC for later on in fights once the barriers have been sufficiently weakened or destroyed.

"finesse armor usually splits physical and magical armor equally" *next screen shown* his character has 118 physical armor and 63 magical armor. *equal*

Genuinely you make solid tutorial and guid content and you dont have an annoying voice. It all works, you should upload more often, I think you will grow quickly.

Keep pumping these out and you'll get a bunch of subs from this game alone

Only youtuber that makes this game way more simple than it truly is

I swear I heard "Or Aerith if it's a Cloud"

Thank you for the content, so glad to see new channels flourishing. You're great, and your sense of humor is spot on.

man this kind of guides are really great. Thx for them!

really good guides, keep them comin!

thanks man just started playing and this helped me out a bunch got straight to the point with out spoiler and 10min of talking about hotdogs

You only had 50 subs when you posted this? You have one a long way. I am playing this game for the first time with a summoned as my main. What I just learned was invaluable. I've been doing it all wrong.

Waiting with immense anticipation for your BG3 class guides

thank you so much. I am a conjuration expert from skyrim and new to CRPGS and needed these tips for my elfy.

One good thing about playing an undead as a Summoner is that you can spawn poison totems and they shoot and heal you. I'm not sure of the threshold were they choose to shoot u and heal, or shoot an enemy though...

You could also go with fane and use the mask of the shapeshifter to get flesh sacrifice and time warp.

I'm creating my first character (Red Prince) as we speak, and I read somewhere that Power Infusions increase the damage of Incarnate by 25%, even though it does not specify it in the infusion spell. As I stated, I didn't start the game yet, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Dude I love the humor in these.

"I just hit 50 subs and that's incredible." ::looks at sub count now, including self:: 15k+ Noice.

Fantastic video, thank you for posting! Thumbs up.

Your voice is like melted golden butter Velvet on a English muffin

doesnt really work for higher difficulty settings for they get cheesed or 1-2 hit early on. ranger is also shit for summoner... a summoner u want to have a fuck ton of buffs to keep them alive. geomancer/summoner with some hydro skills for magic armor is ideal. undead are vastly better for summoners because the use of poison totems will also attack your undead party members to heal them! i always make sure my party has 1 point into summoner just for totems and the incarnet for meat shield. geomancer is just so good with this combo. i usually play on tactician with both characters using lonewolf, both undead and while i always play summoner i make sure the other guy has some points into it and necro for the self healing when dealing damage. i also go a mix of medium/heavy armor for my summoners and use a shield for better protections and both armors. with everyone undead and loads of poison totems around the field you will rarely die if at all in most fights. and with crafting larger poison potions your healing will be even better and even if you go with the normal 4 man group if all of them are undead then you do not need to waste a character slot on healer when you can just have another damage dealer using poison, i still go with a buff bot in my party because they are so good for higher difficulties.

You made me want to play a marksman-summoner :D ! Good video btw

Brilliant video!

Your videos are so entertaining. xD great job!

Anyone with a summoner, combine a pyro source skill book and a summoner skill book to create a hellfire buff. Turns your champion from a monster into a god!

I couldn't resist, Fane is my summoner. It's just the fact that he is a skeleton, that is usually connected to necromancy and thus to summoning undead and so on.

Maybe it's so late... but... you can summon air element from blood/water that have electricity in it... i happen summon 1 and totem too from there... so it's not just cloud

Hey man. I enjoyed this video a lot ^^ keep going!

1:22 Geomancer has summon blob and you get the summonable cat if you keep him alive through fort joy which scale from summoning aswell

if you are playing as a non-origin character, elf* is the best. but if you are playing as an origin character fane is by far the best. because later on when you have an abundance of source to work with you can use fane's special ability to give yourself an extra turn. this extra AP on the first turn is amazing on a summoner because it can let you buff your incarnate even more, place a totem, or haste your allies with the extra ap you now have. the synergy is great.

An Idea for anyone watching this in the future if you want to go summoning as a main class instead of subclassing it: Start off with the general summoning preset, and go with an Elf if you want the extra AP skill. Otherwise, the race doesn't really matter. Undead's play dead skill is nice if you want your summon to take aggro. Attributes: +1 Int, +2 Con (The Conjurer's stat preset) Normally Con isn't that useful unless you are playing tank... but since you are a summoner, who doesn't rely on stats... who else is best to play a tank? :) You also don't want a squishy summoner because if you die, your summons also die. You can use Shields and Shield Throw scales off Shield armor, so 1-2 points in Warfare later on lets you have Phoenix Dive for movement and a high damaging Physical skill. The +1 Int is for meeting Int armor requirements, you should keep your stats at the minimum requirement for each armor type if you want to have a lot of options for armor. Abilities: Either dump it all into Summoning if you want to max summoning ASAP (worth IMO because the Incarnate Champion is strong early on) or you can take a point in either Geo or Hydro, because you will want to invest in those later on as well. If you are going Lone Wolf, you'll have a lot more points to invest in each tree later, but the focus of your build is to max summoning, take 3-4 points in Hydro and Geo (This will not only boost the Armor and Magic armor of Armor of Frost and Fortify, it will also increase armors provided by your infusions!) and tap into each tree for their buffs to give team members and summons. You're going to be the ultimate tank support. Later on when you have gear to support your stats, you'll want to be able to meet the requirements for Venom Aura and Master of Sparks. These will be strong buffs for your summon and totems. Skills starting off: Incarnate, Totem, and Farsight Infusion/Your Pick Just try to max summoning as fast as you can, take all the summon +1 gear you can get (part of why you want to have the stats to wear any armor), and invest in just Con, Memory as you need it, and min armor stat requirements. You will be able to summon a totem every turn, and should always have something to do since you'll have a bunch of support skills. Pairs well with teammates focused on damage/CC, as your incarnate has limited CC on his own. Have fun, Summoners :) Odinblade's mods has a bunch of added summons that are boosted at level 10 as well, as a heads up.

The incarnate is the strongest thing even on Lone Wolf until Reapers Coast, on Reapers Coast you start to get Rare Gear and actually Spec something else. Even though Incarnate would have 100%+ buff if you max Summoner (with lone wolf) and even buff his armors/magic with skills, he will still have no chance vs a DPS, solely because the scaling is insane of a close combat DPS like Rogue/Warrior. Finished Honour mode with Warrior + Summoner/Buffer combo. In Fort Joy, Incarnate was doing about 50-60% more dmg than my DPS In Reapers Coast (not even clearing 20% of the map) my DPS was doing 300% dmg of the Incarnate maxed out (even +20 Summoner points) which is +100% buffs to it. It is OP, but not that much.

Dig the guide man keep em up!

Great video mate, very insightful. Is there any chance you can do one on a healer build?

Thank you

Holy fuck that last line: I love you now.

Super great guide!

Fire appears somehow Me: flashback to Red Prince burning Melee Ifan because I did not know that Fireball is AOE spell

I advise dropping some points into necromancy for blood rain as it buffs your incarnates and let’s you get some extra healing by using blood sucker.

Keep up the great work.

My first playthrough was summoning, and honestly I wish i'd pick something else, the tree is underwhelming compared to the eletric or water tree, but heyo.

thx for guide/content my dude

I guess I lucked out on my first blind playthrough as a ranged summoner. Way to go, me?

He: "I just had 50 subscribers, thanks so much for the support." I: Look at the "Subscribe" button. Button: "14K subscribers." I: D:

I just made my whole Team into summoners.... INCLUDING my warrior! Muhahahahahaha!!! POWER OVERWHELMING!

very entertaining! more asap! (:

Nice summary :)

I built my summoner as a cc buff necro and had it set up as pretty much being insanely hard to pin down due to having 3 teleports smoke cover and invisibility

I find summoning is really good early game (act 1). Later their good to take a few hits and die. I currently run a 2 hand heavy damage with a bit of necro to keep her alive. A rogue with polymorph for extra cc. Huntsman with a spattering of scoundrel and polymorph. Then a stun and heal mage . Buffs the party a lot. Works great .

I mean I use Ifan as my summoner as he has a summon source skill and the wolf is great when buffed by summoner level and with pet power gift bag the wolf becomes a amazing tank that hits like a truck with sparking swings , using a ranged option with dust blast and a dodge tank with uncanny evasion I haven’t seen blood or water yet but I’ll see those soon.

tbh I've played as Prince just for the extra summon when you get to arx. also you can go any other school you want to... I've used ranger, scoundrel, necro and warfare. scoundrel is cool because you get the pawn... for extra free move and the cloak and Dagger skill is worth it. ranger I never liked the elemental arrows when your just gunna use your summons to kill everything anyway. necro for summons only... if need be. warfare movement skill gives fire so can be useful to move away or get closer.... But great guide... polymorph is a fun class too :)

I made a lone wolf summoner/cleric tank with a wizard wayfarer that are both lizards.

Great guide thank you

I play as a summoner. Just finished act 1. And idk why but when you said the "summons asked what he did wrong" made me tear up a second....😂😂 I'm still trying to figure out how to make him useful. He's only got 4 AP. I'm playing as a summoner/Necro/ with a touch of poly.

Something to note,' poison totems can be used to heal your undead

I truly wish to know why you stopped editing videos man. Why?

great video

Love your jokes

4:27 - Meanwhile me in every single game: "HUMAN WARRIOR" :'D (I can't help myself)

really helpful! ty! 😀

Thanks! Subbed

You said ranger but you showed wayfarer. Which one is optimal? Does wayfarer get access to finesse armor? And does it really matter if you choose one or the other?

ya came a long way from 50 subscribers

Is that Ori and the Blind Forest music in the background?

9:40 We have Odinblades class reworks installed in our run and my friend plays the new Umbra class (rogue+ I guess?) and I have a class called gravecaller (necro summoner basically). I can summon an undead assassin and my friend hates it. Because that thing oneshots him and does about 3 times as much damage than him. Everytime I summon him I say something like: "let me get better you"

Thanks for the advice, I was wondering what talent's you started with and what ones you picked up later? pet pal ect

yo is this build possible with rogue? Seems like you'd want to max scoundrel and warfare (if I've done my research correctly) but will you be spread too thin to run lvl10 conjuration? With rogue, I'd also envision using more mobility spells like tac retreat and phoenix dive. I know I'm like 5 years late but lmk what you think about this.

Is there a difference between "summoner" and "conjurer"?

Nice guide! Any plans for an enchanter one, or something for the Lizards?

Thanks for this. I have no idea what I'm doing. I made two profile one is the one I have no idea what I'm doing the other is testing diff class.

What happend to the talents?

I would suggest 2 points into warfare and 2 in aerothurge (might have spelled that wrong) but I like to teleport bag guys away from me and the warfare I can give my summon enraged so he crits

I kind of fell into using summoning and my build has shifted heavily from scoundrel to summoner so have that strong boy to beat up that mean magister that stole my lunch money

U can get a talent that lets ur spells Crit and ur summon counts as ur spell.

whats the background music you were using for this? it sounds so familiar to me its driving me crazy i cant think of it

I beat honor mode with a lonewolf spear user with warfare and summoning. Good times.

I wanted to try a dual lone wolf playthrough with 2 undead characters (Fane and Undead Elf). One would be mostly summon and Geo and the other would be Mostly Summon Pyro. Both would have a point in many of the other combat abilities for buffs and the like. My friend said that Summoning skills drop off towards the end of the game. Is that true? If not what do you think about this setup?

Lone wolf summoner, start with 2 in summon (amplified to4) get 6 on level 2 and with skilled up get 10 on level 3 have fun with your champion before even getting to the marshes, just reached them now with 14 in summoning, tactician mode my elemental 4 shots enemies

I tried to cast toon world and nothing happened :(

This was pretty much the first build i made, but i don't recommend it. As a summoner, you generally want to make sure you don't die, and finese characters are generally really squishy.

The commentary at 8:50 are hilarious

Thanks for the guide! Could you do a strong party to start with for beginners? I'd appreciate a guide that would show me some good characters to do some awesome combos. Thanks!

So you are choosing ranger as the starting class but put 1 point into summoning? Or do you recommend choosing conjure first and put 1 point into huntsman? Does this even matter?

They took out my summon's taunt :'( I wonder if they get it later in the game now. While I do like your idea of adding summoner to an elf ranger build, rangers are auto attack based and while the incarnate is cool it just costs too much AP for too little damage to use totems over an auto imho. So yes, it's a decent build, but I'm not sure I'd put more than 1 or 2 points into summoning as my ranger.

darn so I can't summon more than one summonable pet? That's a bummer I totally wanted to go for a build where I could summon as many creatures as possible. Like the Incarnate, The Slug, The Plant, The Widow, the Bloated Corpse and the Slime thingy. Maybe even more. But I guess now I have to rethink my build again :/

How well would summoning work with necromancy?

What attributes do you take?

How can you travel with companions on the ship right away?

my Red Prince (ranger) and Sebille (rogue) are lv 10 Summoners, as I still in Fort Joy
