Summon Mages can go Wand, Staff, or if they feel brave, go Magic Knight. But if you're having troubles, let's stick with the classic pure summoner.

Earth Mastery III + Summoner III = Iron Golem dominates. The rest is details.

Skills:
Iron Golem Maxed (Earth Mastery + Summoner): The big guy destroys everything.

Staff Mastery Maxed (or as high as it goes): The high damage output pairs well with the Iron Golem as a walking tank.

Mage Armor + Mage Barrier: The extra defense, and pushback makes these two very helpful for a mage caught in a corner. Even if you opt to avoid a heavy investment in these skills, Mage Armor Level 1 will give a nice protection from a random trap (trap does no damage and disspells the armor.)

Fire / Ice Mastery: Player choice. Experienced players might be able to skip getting either Fire / Ice Golem as they rush to get Earth Mastery. However, new players, or those seeking a more well rounded build can invest a few points into one or both.

Note: Fire / Ice golems will be used primarily as a back-up to your golem, or in specific situations (let a fire dragon breath fire on a fire elemental all day long). You can get summons scrolls for them pretty easily by mid-game so not really a pressing need long-term to have these skills.

Traits:
You need to meet the trait requirements for the above skills, and will have heavy investment in INT and PERS. But beyond that, you slip a few points into END or AGL to help stay alive. STR is a waste unless you go Mage Knight, which is not the build being described here.

BIG NOTE:

Most players that struggle with a Mage Summon build struggle on the fighting style, not the actual build. Let your Summon and Companion take the vanguard. You're going to stay back where it's safe and attack with powerful range attacks.

Companion:
Hirge, with a shield, and healing as the only active skill. Hirge is bascially a HP source for your mage and summon. She doesn't need to do damage, just run interference so things don't attack you. You go go a full defense Griss but you'll do better with Hirge.

Just dont use any active spells and you should be fine. You can get best fire staff from rumour boses if u dont have it allready, get crit hit skills from rogue guild and fighters guild and hp buff skill from fighter guild. You are ranged shooter dont worry about anyy magic. Iron golem + grisenda can do hell load of damage and it is one of strongest characters possible to make in game.(although tanky 1h grisenda is a bit better, but you need to give her books, and you most likely allready eat them yourself, so stick with 2 h grisenda)

My personal favorite build at that level (pre-Ark) is the Muud'ari Engineer!

- Space Robot: Iron Golem +Summoner II (+ pre-requisite Summon Imp II ), 13 pts
- Electromagnetic Force Field: Mage Armor III + Mage Barrier III, 11 pts
- Quantum Thermal Fluctuation Canon: Staff Mastery II (+ pure elemental staves of fire and cold, + high INT), 3 pts
- Thermo-Nuclear Spontaneous Combustion Butt Implant: Combustion III, 7 pts
- Carbon-laced Bio-enhancement Bloodstream Cell Reparation Nanites from Space Walmart: Body Development I (+ high END), 1 pt

Total: 35 skill points.

Ideal Strategy: Let your Space Robot do the dirty work. And when you get pissed, just run towards the people you hate, and blow yourself up. Combustion, Mage Barrier and high HP will make you a very fine walking NUKE! lolll



(For the Ark, you'll want to replace Combustion with Lightning Bolt, and use a normal or shock-bonus staff until you find a Tesla Staff. Mage Barrier will do most of the damage against Steel Spiders, and the Iron Golem will be 100% immune to the Steel Wizards' blasts.)

Just finished my 2nd playthrough! First playthrough was as a warrior and this time as a summoner. I used a similar build as your Muud’ari Engineer but without combustion. In the Ark I had a couple points in Staff Mastery but found Wand Mastery with its push back more useful. I loved pushing the spiders and wizards back through a door or into a corner. I never found a Tesla Rod but did find 4 or 5 emmiters.

Oh! So you're a wand type of guy!
Mine is so big I need 2 hands to wield it.
But a small wand can be great too when wielded properly. Plus, it hurts less than a big staff, which is awesome for beginners!
;)

Seriously though, I never really used wands at high level, I tend to end up with staves for their late-game huge elemental damage output. But yeah, wands' push-back can be really good. It takes a lot of practice to make good use of it though. I never thought of using it to move spiders around in the Ark. They scare the shit out of me loll.

What are you using in your off-hand?
