At the moment summoners are severely lacking in terms of end game itemization. I realize there are very few summoner heroes and also that there are other builds that need attention too but since I have not seen any news on summoners as of late I'm making this thread in hopes the information gets to the right people.

Right now there are three major issues with summoner itemization, I've listed them here in order of importance (in my opinion):

1. "Summoned Ally Damage", "Summoned Ally Duration", and "Summoned Ally Health" on gear does not scale up with Item Level like most other stats in the game do. I understand power duration and -spirit cost not scaling because that could get out of hand quickly, but at the moment increasing the item level to 69 does very little outside of adding a small amount of crit, brut, and health to summoner uniques. Yes, increasing the ilvl does increase the + rank to powers, which brings me to #2.

2. Summoner gear (at least class specific) has too many +skills that when rolled well leaves the hero with a level 50 skill before ilvl 69. Now this is more of an any hero problem but summoners take a bigger hit from this because our summon damage does not scale up, so increasing the item level does almost nothing. If gaz were to raise the +rank cap to above 30 but keep level 50 the max we could take points out of overcapped skills and put them into passives or other skills, but until then these +ranks are wasted.

3. ARTIFACTS! Right now there are 4 viable artifacts, A.R.M.O.R. Alternate Reality Chaos Portal, Raptor Stone, Adv. Latverian Regalia, and Latverian Regalia. Every time new content gets added I get excited hoping they will add a new artifact for summoners so that we are not forced into using a low level non adv latverian regalia, and every time I am let down.. There are so many different artifact choices for other builds but summoners are stuck on 4, 2 of which are the same item. Give us summoners something to farm! Give us a boss specific artifact that has a unique feel to it, not just +x summon damage.

I'm not quite sure who to tag in this, if anyone knows or has anything they would like to add feel free to post or pm!
