Demon Summoning - GR
Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
I stumbled across this just now and now I grow curious. Since we already have the thugs, and the demons are on their way, when are we gonna get the pirates and clowns?

As for pets sticking around when you zone. Yes. We do want this. You're right about it being a non-trivial thing to do, zoning your pets is actually a LOT different code-wise than zoning a player entity. |
Also, we most likely will never give you a "buff everything" button. When playing a Mastermind you have to make tactical decisions on what to resummon and re-buff if you happen to lose Henchmen during a big battle. If you could summon your guys and fully buff them in moments, well, tough situations aren't so tough anymore, are they? |
Again... years. How many it took. Etc., etc.

Ok, so I officially have inside news from a spy at PlayNC who got one of the staff drunk enough to spill the beans on the full kit and kaboodle that is Demon Summoning.
They have broken away from traditional AT power models (including the standard mastermind build) and come up with something totally awe-inspiring and freaking ossim.
Juicy details as follows...:
Note that all pets were modified to similar mastermind levels of HP, resistance, defense, regen and rank.
Also note, that there is no pet upgrade available to this set, other than demon mastery.
Demon Summoning
Tier1 Power: Hordeling summoning (you get 3 adorable pets)
Lasher, Hurler, and Beserker.
Tier2 Power: Summon Random Crystal
You randomly summon ONE out of Pain, Vitality and Health crystals.
Tier3 Power: Summon Harbingers of Batzul (2 of)
Tier4 Power: Summon Magical Barrier
You summon a magical barrier at a fixed location. Should you or one of your team mates fall in battle, they may ressurect by choice inside the magical barrier (instead of going to hospital). However the first to use it will need to break out also.
Tier5 Power: Summon Hell Frost (1 of, at higher levels will be 2 of)
Tier6 Power: Summon Succubus
Tier7 Power: Summon Envoy of Shadows
Tier8 Power: Summon Blade Prince
Tier9 Power: Demon Mastery
You cast this power on only ONE of your demon pets, and they are granted a mastery bar (similar to the brutes fury bar).
Should your demon fill his mastery bar (approximately 30 minutes of battle), he will transform into his respective master form, for a total duration of 5 minutes.
If the pet dies before transforming, the buff is lost. After 5 minutes of transformation, the pet vanishes and will need to be resummoned.
Demon Master specific transformations:
Hordelings and Harbingers - transform into Batzul
Hell Frosts - transform into Caleb
Succubus - transforms into Lilitu
Envoy of Shadows - transforms into Baphomet
Blade Prince - transforms into 8 Minor Shadows

Addict is a cruel, cruel person.
I approve of this villainy, and laugh at any poor midget who falls for it
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Why not just ask for a Hamidon Mastermind set and be done with it?

First after BaBs! ^^

Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.
|
I seem to recall posting a suggestion that a good way to increase interest in Hamidon was to create an accolade power that allowed you to summon minor buff pets similar to the DE emanators.
Bump and Grind Bane/SoA
Kenja No Ishi Earth/Empathy Controller
Legendary Sannin Ninja/Pain Mastermind
Entoxicated Ninja/PSN Mastermind
Ninja Ryukenden Kat/WP Scrapper
Hellish Thoughts Fire/PSI Dominator
Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
Maybe make Hamidon require better tactics than simply wailing on a massive sack of HP with the Ubercheat of all attacks? (Untyped damage, you glutinous ****!)
Like, Hamidon itself does middling damage itself, but at increments (3/4, 1/2, 1/4 the usual) summons the Giant Monsters around the Abyss/Hive to come help? Makes a change of pace from the Cheatcell.

*must... not... retort... to... BaBs*
Ack! It must be done!!
Ok folks you heard it here first! BaBs is making a Hamidon MM set!
i.e. he said the words *ask* and *hamidon* and *mastermind* so there ya go!. (Yes, I am goofing about and in a larikin mood today. And very bored. And probably foolish.)
Here is the *almost* official new Hamidon Mastermind set, being developed by BaBs*, and to be released with issue 17!
(*soon as I figure out how to use mind control on BaBs)
----------------------------------------------
Note that all pets were modified to similar mastermind levels of HP, resistance, defense, regen and rank.
Also note, that there is no pet upgrade available to this set, other than the mutation injection.
Hamidon Summoning
Tier1 Power: Flora Summoning
You summon 4 minions of foliage to do your bidding. You have full mastermind control over these pets.
Bladegrass, Razorvine, Blackrose, and Deathblossom.
Tier2 Power: Summon Eminator
You summon one random eminator, at a fixed location. The recharge time is very long & cannot be reduced. The eminator is targetable and may be destroyed by your enemy. The eminator will be one of the 4 types:
Cairn, Fungi, Quartz, and, Tree of Life
Tier3 Power: Summon Deathcap
You summon 1 fungal pet to do your bidding. You have full mastermind control over this pet.
Deathcap
Tier4 Power: Summon Mitochondria
You randomly summon one mitochondria to assist you, which lasts for 3 minutes. The mito is unable to move and will remain at its spawned location. The mito cannot be controlled, but it will attack any nearby enemies. The recharge is very long & cannot be reduced. It will be any one of the 3 available mitos:
Mending, Antibodies, and Electrolyte.
Tier5 Power: Summon Underling Shards
You summon 4 underling shards, which will last for 3 minutes before disintegrating. They cannot be controlled, but they will attack any nearby enemies. The recharge time is very long & cannot be reduced.
This power will summon one of each:
Geode, Quartz, Sardonyx, and Guardian.
Tier6 Power: Summon Herders
You summon 2 Herders. They will spawn in hidden form (tree form) and if used carefully, can be used as a trap against your enemy.
They cannot be controlled, but they will attack any nearby enemies. They will only hang around for 5 minutes (similar to gang war). The recharge is very long.
Herder, and, hidden tree form.
Tier7 Power: Summon Swarm Plague
You call forth a large plague of swarms, 6 in total, which last for 5 minutes. (Similar to gang war). They cannot be controlled, but they will attack any nearby enemies. The recharge is very long & cannot be reduced.
Tier8 Power: Summon Greater Devoured
You call forth a greater devoured to do your bidding. You have full mastermind control over this pet only whilst it is in it's original form.
Tier9 Power: Mutation Injection
You inject your Greater Devoured pet with a special buff, the Mutation Injection, which temporarily mutates the pet into an advanced form.
The first injection will mutate the pet into an primary mutation, that will last a total of 3 minutes, with a cool down of 30 minutes.
Should this pet still be alive at the end of the 30 minutes, you may inject him again, for a secondary mutation, which also lasts 3 minutes, with a 30 minute cool down.
And there is a final tertiary mutation, should the pet still be alive, again with a duration of 3 minutes and 30 minute cool down.
If the pet dies at any stage, you may only resummon him in the initial Greater Devoured form and it will have lost all buffs, and have to wait for the mutation injection to be recharged before able to advance in state.
The 3 Mutation Injection forms are as follows:
Primary Mutation
Your pet mutates into the same genetic state as Terra
Secondary Mutation
Your pet mutates into the same genetic state as Pyriss.
Tertiary Mutation
You dangerously mutate your pet further, but one of the scientists in the lab mixed up your supply of chemicals, and you are not sure which end result it will be. Apparently there is a 50% chance of either of...:
Jurassik, or, Back Alley Brawler
-------------------------------
End note - nothing official here. Just silliness, and dreams.
And, now I'm a teeny bit paranoid... next time I log in game, and go to level/train up in Galaxy, that the trainer there might actually foot-stomp my toon into next week!

Really, although we players like to have original things, I think some MM sets based on pre-existing models/creatures would probably be pretty popular and easier to make since they don't have to draw up new creatures. Then again I'm no dev-type so wadda I know?
