Quote:I plan to do a bit of fighting myself.Don't. If we're talking hell here, the equipment needed for your survival would not go well with the summoning equipment. For a summoner's true power to shiune through, you need level 35+ summoning skills, what is achievable (arm of king leoric, anyone?), but not with melee-enabled gear.
If you wear the full trang set (highly advisable), you can play around with the fire spells if you're bored.
It is, however, a very real possibility to build a summoner that is capable of meleeing himself. The key thing is, that you need incredibly expensive equipment to do so. (Enigma and Beast are the start.) This type of character, the teleporting-fana-enchanted melee-summoner is one of the most powerful PVM characters in the game, very durable and posessing insane killing speed. IF the items required to build such a character, do so, since they are supposedly fun to play.
