[Discussion] Summoning Passive Tree

[CollinHerber]

We need to come up with a skill tree for the summoning class

A few things that come to mind as generic passives are

• Summon Movement Speed
• Summon Damage
• Whip Damage
• % Damage Reduction per Minion Summoned

A few skills that come to mind initially are

• Fire Imbued (Summoning Damage Inflicts On Fire! Debuff for 5 Seconds) (30 Second Cooldown)
• Motivate (Summons & Nearby Allies gain 5% Increased Damage & 5% Movement Speed for 10 Seconds) (30 Second Cooldown)

As a note for "Summon Movement Speed", that'd ideally be "Summon Behaviour Speed" since their AI is intrinsically linked to their speed, and vise versa. Otherwise, minions would be way less consistent because their AI can't account for the change in movement speed.

Anyhow, thoughts on the following passives:
Whip Tag Damage - I think this is easily modified lol
Max Minions
Sentry Damage - if we lean into sentries at all, unsure
Max Sentries - above
Whip Range
Whip Speed?

and the following skills:
Enemy Pacification - charm an enemy to fight for you [temporarily], should be doable without untoward work
Vampire Minions - x seconds of y% life steal from your minions
Swarm - minions gain some large amount of behaviour speed and aggressively target the cursor for a short time
Whip Barrage - for x seconds, whips are significantly quicker

These all seem pretty applicable and doable, aside from maybe Enemy Pacification which is a tall order.
