Demonologist's Guide to Demons align="center" class="style2" style="font-family: Hyborian;">
For anyone unfamiliar with the role demon familiars play in
the life of a Demonologist, it might be easy to assume they function
similar to more traditional tanking pets. Instead, the demons in Age of
Conan provide both the caster and their companions with a variety of
active benefits which can be further enhanced by investing in certain
feats. To help give you a better insight as to the variety of demons
you'll be able to summon, the benefits they grant and the ways they can
be enhanced, I've put together this handy guide to serve as your
one-stop shop for demon information.
Before getting into the specifics of each demon though, here's
a few important details to help get you started:
- You gain your first summon spell, the Demon Familiar, at
level 9. At the same time you'll also be granted two spells that either
directly effect the gender of your demon, or its overall size:
height="65" width="65">
FORCED
SUMMONING style="width: 378px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; color: yellow; background-color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">
Casting this spell before
summoning a pet minion forces it to adopt the same sex as the
demonologist. Males will summon an incubus, females a succubus.
(Note: Without the use of Forced
Summoning, the gender of your character dictates which type of demon
you summon so males summon a succubus, females an incubus)
height="65" width="65">
SHRINK style="text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; color: yellow; background-color: rgb(100, 66, 32);">
Allows you to enforce your will on
your demonic pet, causing them to shrink in size.
(Note: Though another purely
cosmetic alteration to your demon, Shrink can be a great help in
decreasing any targeting issues you might face with the demon active
otherwise)
- Demon familiars themselves will not hold aggro, but rather
any aggro caused by their attacks will focus on the demonologist
instead. What this means is that even if you send your pet to attack a
given target, that target will immediately attack the demonologist
rather than the demon even if you yourself never cause damage to it. An
exception to this rule is the spell Planar Shift casting it will
temporarily cause your target to forget you and attack your demon
instead. This can be helpful in situations where you might otherwise
find yourself overwhelmed and need a slight reprieve to survive the
encounter.
