How good are summoner classes in this chronicle?

I've only played L2 since c3, I remember that human summoner with his kitty was very powerful, so how good are they in this version of L2?

​Very good. But there are two drawbacks:
1. To summon yet not commercially soulshots.
2. summon yet has no party buff.
Therefore, it will be 80% to play alone.

no soulshots for summons? dang it...

They're still arguably one of the best solo machines. Things like shots and buffs can always be added later, if you wanna go warlock you're going to receive a lot of lovin' when you do get those buffs!

​what about PvP?

actually, a Phantom Summonner should be already welcome in a fighter group starting from 1.0, since he has Phantom Cubic with Hex effect and poison.

those 2 debuffs make farming mobs in group easier, especially when it's mobs with HPx2 or more.
