[czWannabe]

It looks like but ... more buffs on summons make this chars much more buffer like (no usage for "normal" summons - only for solo exp)

 

PSs DS will have max power 65 - like SH on level 48 so it is little bit sux

 

But ofcourse everything  what they add for summoners is welcomed (my favourite chars ) :)

[Koyuki]

max power 65 is same as aura flare, but without pvp nerf aura has

 

i think the buffs from nightshade, seraphim, and queen will be 3 minutes like the gifts and blessings...will be very usefull since will take one slot

[czWannabe]

i think the buffs from nightshade, seraphim, and queen will be 3m minutes like the gifts and blessings...will be very usefull since will take one slot

uh I just cant belive it takes only one slot. Have to wait for Gracia pts in NA :p

[Koyuki]

• Unicorn Seraphim: Acumen Effect, Clarity Effect,, Empower Effect, Wild Magic effect

 

Yes one slot... the pet window has 10 slots... attack, unsummon, move, gift, bless, stop, cure

 

with more 5 will be 12... and the other buffs are only 3 minutes long...and that effect is exactly what prophecy of water does, so i think wont stack..or maybe, since wild magic effect is lower now, maybe cuz of the new seraphim buff...

 

anyways, this is great buff
