i think its a pity that only supportsummoner is pleasent to play as its the only one able to get his blooddrops over time without further ado
For leveling and farming sure, support build is the best one.
But even on other builds I never had any problems with blood drops. The only thing you are not allowed to do is spamming howl of death like crazy, when you've low crit chance. (~280 should be enough to have at least no worries about the blood, when you keep an eye on your actual blood drops). With around 400-500 crit chance you probably never have any problems (except when you just have one target and spamming howl of death like crazy).
Actually a assault summoner can keep tank alive by using an 60% heal every minute, give blood aegis, dispel annoying dots, use percentage based heal, make him invincible shortly before he would die, still dealing good dps. Also can aoe-immobilize mobs for 3 seconds so the tank can escape annoying adds. etc. And this on p2p, where you can't rush on s2 allods
Even the heal is really strong. It combines blood aegis with AoE - Defense buff and really strong healings. The only thing annoying is that you've to be careful about needed AoE-Healing 'cause for more dmg on the whole group, you just can stand and channel or use dark vigor (every 4min...) to move while channeling.
In Support aspect you can keep yourself up with bloodlust and even if you fall down to 40% you are not getting serious dmg and can use percentage-based healing (blood ties) to heal yourself up again. You can stun, immobilize, slow, apply weakness and vulnerability. Dealing great AoE-Dmg and you are completly mobile (beside casting volatile infection or blood feast). I cannot find anything which would destroy the fun of playing this class in pvp for me
Well ok... maybe the global cooldown but still everyone has it, and your howl of death isn't affected by this. And even if... you can apply 9 seconds of temporal acceleration to you, which decreases the global cooldown to ~1 second.
But for sure the summoner in assault aspect for example is the worst class for allod rushes 'cause you are dependend on your blood drops. And when you are empty and you cannot reset it cause the next fight is starting.... Well than you can start getting blood drops with blood ties, blood feast and life tap, 'cause you cannot do anything yeah. But still then if you are aware of this, then you know that you shouldn't use skills which would wipe your entire blood bank.
I think the summoner is really fun to play in pve and in pvp. Don't know how some have problems with blood on him.
The only thing thats annoying me is that I just have 2 skilltrees. So I've to switch everytime between support and heal for example.
