Stop behaving like a child. Unless you are one. Your title specifically states Buster+Sigil Or Retri? Finally End Of Debate. You're fully aware that I wasn't referring to Krishna weapons existing 9 years ago.

You've just validated the original poster's concern about how this flawed war feature is being exploited.

This debate was over since 2011.

"Warriors" is not a class. Do you mean Tyrr Gladiator? Your name is "Overlord". I'm suspecting that you're playing an Iss Dominator. In whatever the case may be, do you have over 300 total attack attribute? Check your Character status window to properly determine your class. Also check your passives tab in your Skills window & find your weapon passives descriptions located under the Occupation Skills section. Weapon passives describe which weapons you should be using.

^Compensation pack.

Summoners are mages. The ideal weapons for summoners are 2-handed staff weapons. The best inexpensive weapon is currently the Enhanced Shadow Retributer. Although, the 2-handed Tauti is a nice affordable substitute. Tauti duals are just that... duals not 2-handed.

Also, Spectral Masters used to have Lightning Strike. It was from a cubic but I see no reason to not have Mass Lightning Strike for the new tank servitor.

Spectral Lords used to have Corpse Burst. It was a powerful skill. I was clearing rooms in Catacombs & Necropolises with just one or two shots. The Nephilim were weak to the skill. I'm asking for them to give the skill back. Banshee Queens have arrow type attacks. It would make since to give them a skill that behaves like Multple Arrow or Arrow Rain. Why not give AoE attacks to Banshees? Soulless have a similar AoE magic attack which covers the same distance but they are obsolete at Lv.101+. Dark Crusaders have dagger type attacks. So similarly it would make since to give them Barrage of Nails. Corpse Burst could be given to Dark Crusaders &/or Banshee Queens because they're also demons like Spectral Lords. So yeah. We can just agree to disagree...

Nope. I'm asking for AoE skills. Summoners used to have AoE capabilities. Like I said before in my original post. But then, for some reason, they were taken away.

Nah.... I will never accept the status quo. Never in a video game or IRL. Not an option for me. Throughout 17 years of playing this game, I've seen classes get neglected & nerfed but then boosted later to OP status. This is why I'm asking @Juji, @Hime & @Cyan to bring this up to the Devs. Just like other classes in this game's past, the summoner class, too, can be reincarnated. For now, summoners are only missing their usefulness in party settings & lacking significant AoE damage. The Devs could bring back Mass Summon Phantom Cubics & give the newer servitors AoE skills. For examples: Dark Crusaders could use something similar to Corpse Burst &/or a Barrage of Nails type skill. Banshee Queens could be given a skill similar to the Yul's Multiple Arrows &/or Heavy Arrow Rain. Another servitor that operates like a tank with a shield would be cool too. It could be something similar to the Nightshade with a Superior Aggression Aura & Mass Lightning Strike Skill but equipped with a shield & cutter.

I've been playing L2 since 2003 Beta. Trying to navigate the game in Korean was hard but I liked the challenge. I've always loved summoners; especially the Phantom Summoner/Spectral Master. Even though it became my first subclass because my first attraction was how powerful Spellhowler/Storm Screamers were. I was so excited to be able to not have to play 2 totally different toons in order to enjoy the game when subclasses were added to the game. But now, the summoner classes don't have the same effectiveness as before. They've been reduced to afterthoughts. They used to be a dominant force in both mass PVE & PVP. Now they're not even a dominant force in everyday mass PVE. For an example: Spectral Masters have no significant AoE damage. We were given 6 summon points for 3 servitors (which was fun) after only having one servitor for all of these years. Then that was taken away by reducing the number to 2 servitors (stop teasing us!). I guess to reduce server lag. Ok... I get that. We were given AoE debuffs with the Demonic Crucifix & Death Gate (which are very useful) but then you make Spectral Lords & Soulless obsolete by not allowing us to continue upgrading them & introduce Banshee Queens & Dark Crusaders. By doing so, you've removed our options to use the Spectral Lord's Corpse Burst, Soulless Parasite Burst & its AoE attack. Invoke is an OK skill but it's lacking; it needs to be supplemented with servitor AoE damage. I refuse to change my dual Spectral Master to another class because I'm holding on to a dream. I'm hoping NCsoft would return the summoner class to it's original glory. I know I'm not the only player who feels this way. @Juji, @Hime & @Cyan. Could you please suggest this issue to the Devs? I think the L2 community would be excited to see all of the summoner classes being useful again. As of right now, they're boring to play. Compared to how we've enjoyed them in the past.
