QUOTE In our latest Summoning Development Diary, we are going over what it takes to test and balance a skill so that it can fit in with the rest of the game.
While Summoning isn't just combat-related, its effect on combat will be significant. As such, a large part of this Development Diary's focus is on balancing combat, and the effect it will have on the Combat level. The Diary also covers where to pitch the skill in terms of difficulty, cost and training speed. Head to the Development Diary: Summoning - Part 3 to read more.

the 138 cmb must make the steam come out of yuan's ears
it is exactly what i expected tho, the same cmb influence as prayer i wonder how you will train it tho i guess it will be by using a familiar rather then summoning one alone otherwise it will be very expensive to train like con guess you will get a bit of xp for summoning a creature and that you gain xp for using it to train other skills like cmb for example i wonder if it will be able to die and if my lazy hellcat will be able to do anything then |

QUOTE especially if it's for a game you were playing long before becoming a tester of it, which is true of a lot of the members of QA (one is ranked within the top 500 players) There goes the idea that nobody at Jagex has ever played. QUOTE Adding Summoning to the Combat level calculation means that the maximum will increase from 126 up to 138. *Neo Avatars doesn't want to leave level 100 combat  QUOTE Also, the skill will not initially be a fast skill to train. So, unlikely that people will get to 99 in a week. QUOTE That's why Summoning had to have a quest. And will this quest be as simple as that required for Herblore?  All this Dev Diary managed to do is confuse me.

I was looking forward to having my familiars help me do other stuff, but I guess all they do is help in combat. Kinda sad.

Kinda sad. they stated in the first diary they would do both, i wonder how tho? making it faster or improving your lvl (which would be stupid) or something else???? i guess it will be mostly cmb tho  , don't think we have to hope for the "something else"

I can't wait, it looks awesome. I wonder if it will help in other skills, like fishing and hunter.

No one's forcing you to leave it.I don't mean it as RuneScape revolves around me or anything but just it kinda crushed my hopes on it, like looking for all the clues and leaks but then not letting non combat players play. As Cam said not everyone wants to bash up monsters. |
