I just know that as my last character, I went to go buy a Summoning Focus so that I could start summoning something other than brood keepers, but the one for sale from the Argenti in the marketplace was sorc/wizard/bard only.

This.

Being able to add 3 ab and 3 MAGIC damage to all of your summons attacks is pretty boss.

Seems like there are plenty of focuses around druids can use.... maybe just not in the TOWN shop.

I've been noticing some druids doing a great job of following their druidic oaths and not living in a village, and others less so. But that's off topic.

Quote from: Howland;247969Not super interested in Yet Another Buff My PC suggestions post, but are you sure summoning theme focuses can't be used by druids? We should fix that if so.
What about clerics? Giant spiders don't seem super appropriate for a cleric of Arvoreen, Illmater, Helm, etc. Being able to use conjurative focuses to switch to any of the other basic themes would be splendid!

There are focuses around with no class restrictions.

Do you mean the little stone conjurative focuses that you use to click on the focus themes themselves to set them?

Nightshadow

There are indeed Conjurative Focuses around with no restriction. Granted you need to be a part of a certain faction to access them and thus why I never found them before.. there are also some scattered around, probably

Yes, this may be a 'buff my PC' thread.. but at the same time, you don't really notice something odd with a certain class or concept, mechanically, until you go out and build and make it. It's just my belief that druids (and clerics) who want to be something other than the melee powerhouse they normally are (and excel at being) should get a slight boost. But it's a very minor issue, if it's an issue at all.

I as a player truly don't have a clue on how conjurative focuses work.

As I mentioned one page 1. Clerics can use some or most of these just fine.

Yes. These.

You do not need to be part of a certain faction to access them.

The only ones I've found are at the Eyrie, and to get up there you need to be a part of the Allies of the Zodiak association. But there are probably some elsewhere I just haven't found.

You do not need to be in a certain faction to access them.

Turns out you can use it on some items to make your summoning theme change temporarily or permanently. But does anyone know how to go back to your old theme?

Use the summoning focus' special ability on th summoning focus itself.
