Summons and Minions Update
All skills that summon entities, such as Necromancer Minions, Druid Companions, Sorcerer Conjurations, are now all tagged as Summon skills for consistency across classes.
- Added the Summoning Skill Tag to Druid Companion Skills, Sorcerer Conjuration Skills, Rogue , Barbarian , in addition to Necromancer , Golem, and .
- Units created by these Skills are now collectively referred to as Summons.
- All damage from Summons is attributed to the player's character, rather than the Summoned unit.
- Updated wording on various effects to use the new Summons terminology where appropriate. Many effects still interact only with the class specific version of these Summons.
- Updated wording on various effects to remove "You and your Summons" where it is now redundant to specifically call out your Summons.
Developer's Note: Summoning Skills have behaved inconsistently across the Classes, making it hard to know how to scale their damage or what effects would interact with your Summons. This update aims to standardize their interactions across the board by attributing the damage they deal to the player, rather than the Summoned unit. This means that damage from your Summons will be able to trigger all of your Lucky Hit effects, and interact with all of your damage modifiers, multipliers, and triggers. Note that effects such as still properly increase their damage output based on the damage bonuses you have for the specific Minion type that triggered the effect. Additionally, specific changes for Necromancer have been implemented to reflect these changes, which can be seen above in the relevant section.Bug Fixes
