So ghost heart ranger doesnt synergies with chanter summons

[Teclis23]

Man i am so pissed off

 

Just restarted my play-through with this build and summoning chanter summons cancels out the ghost heart ranger pet

 

OMG

I think it's intended since it's 1 summons per a character. I found this out too, really lame. They should also mention this in its penalty.

[Teclis23]

yeah i spent about 6 hours today playing the game before i figured it out

 

seriously not frickin cool!!!!!!

 

worst multclass synergy ever

How is that surprising? This game worked like this for as long as I can remember. One summon per person.

[Teclis23]

well its not as simple as u make out the chanter has summons and a ranger has pets

 

u can see my point here

[Joulurotta]

Every other ranger class has pet, ghost heart’s pet is dead and requires summoning.

[Teclis23]

over the top of your head

 

phew

 

you missed it

Well - the summoning rule is widely known - but it is not consistent anyways: when you kill a vessel or spirit with Grave Calling or Hel Beckoning or kill any enemy marked by the Essence Interruptor the game doesn't care for your summon limit and you can have dozens of minions.

 

So for the sake of all Ghost Heart/Beckoner lovers I would change this behaviour so that the summoned Animal Companion doesn't count towards the limit.

You can change the behaviour so the ghost heart pet doesnt count ? How?

[Boeroer]

With the power of Grayskull!

 

I meant I would (subjunctive) if I were Obsidian.

Advice for those who feel the need to attack or insult another poster:

 

Don't.

This is something I'm pretty sure could be done with a mod. You should post a request for it in the modding forum (the folks over there are really terrific ).

[Elizer]

Well if you want a good strategy with ranger/chanter, don't pick ghost heart be a sharpshooter. Use your pet to run circles around the enemies, while your chanter summons extra minions.

This thread --> char build subforum?

[Amentep]

The OP doesn't seem to be wanting suggestions for how to make a better GH-Ranger / Chanter? If OP wants suggestions and a move is warrented, I'll do it, but that doesn't seem to me to be what this thread is about.

[Boeroer]

Hm?

 

I meant because the thread mainly evolves around game mechanics and in my opinion fits better into a froum where game mechanics get discussed most of the time - with potential spoilers. If you think that the General Discussion Forum is better then that's ok with me.

 

It wasn*t meant as a punishment or something - I just thought it's easier to discuss game mechanics without the need for spoiler tags.

 

I noticed that Teclis23 opened several threads around mechanics and char builds in the General Discussions Forum where it's difficult to talk about such things without spoilers.

[Amentep]

You may be right.  All I was saying is that I see this as a complaint thread, not a mechanics thread (ie the OP wants to vent their frustration more than anything else).  I could be wrong, hence why I'd rather wait for the OP to clarify.

[Boeroer]

Okily dokily.

[arkane83]

This should be much more obvious at character creation. 

[Manveru123]

But excluding Ghostheart, is it actually mentioned anywhere that there is a one summon per character limit?

[Boeroer]

Hm, no idea. Maybe not and it's just "common knowledge" carried over from PoE. Like the trap rule.
