Summoner doesn't seem to be affecting the summons of any of my units. Demonologists don't get stronger demons, Engineers don't make stronger droids, and Rune Mages don't summon stronger Illusions. Demonologists have already been mentioned to be bugged, and I can understand if Engineers don't get the buff since they are building a droid, not summoning it, but are rune mages not supposed to be affected? Or does the Talent description not show the summoner bonus even though it works in battle?
I was actually considering going for a high crit build with trigger since I already had about +25% crit, but he didn't have the right item slots and I would have had to dump one of my lovely -% leadership items to take him.
EDIT: Some testing. No troops showed a higher summoning limit on the talent description with a summoning skill, but demonologists seem to get a buff (4.5k leadership demon summoned when talent card says 1.5-3k) while Engineers and Rune Mages don't. Going by the skill description this makes sense because Rune Mages and Engineers "create" units while Demonologists "Summon" units and the Summoner skill says it only improves summoned units, but now I'm confused as to why I've read so many people saying that rune mages are great with summoner while Demonologists aren't
. Has the effect of summoner been constantly changing over game versions or something? Or are they just referring to phantomed rune mage + resurrecting things?
