I think Summon weapon duration is just too short

[Julymio]

30s or 25s is just too short......

It really can't fit the romantic of summon weapon style, and cause player simply don't consider using it.

And takes to damn long to cast until you purchase abilities to shorten it. The combination makes a fighter/mage who relies on summoned weapons very difficult if not entirely untenable.

With high Int it lasts pretty long. Make sure to max out Int, get Int gear, and use Int inspirations (like disciplined/ tactical barrage). I have had a good experience on solo potd playing battlemage that uses summoned weapons, as well as a battlemage that uses a soulbound weapon. They are both strong but I think the citzal's build may be the better of the 2. If the cast time feels really long, make sure you have concentration when you start the cast. You may be getting interrupted which can extend the cast time quite a bit.

I'm planning on increasing the duration of the Berath Greatsword. My Cleric barely gets in any swings by the time it dissipates.

I think the casting time is more of an issue than summon duration but I agree with the OP's statement.

 

Is there a way to mod the casting time for summon weapons?
