I think people are getting hung up on the term DLC. We will continue to add content regularly for everyone who has purchased the game. I think DLC implies an expansion style content where people pay for content that can split the player base.

I’m sorry you feel betrayed about the class not being what you expected. It is constantly evolving and I tried to spread the word this past year that runemaster wouldn’t have a pet as we initially thought. I’m sorry we weren’t clear enough on that.

I’ve just put in a request to have that description updated. Sent them a screenshot of the mistake.

So I don’t want you to get your hopes up for this type of content on a future mage subclass any time soon. We aren’t specifically avoiding that style of minion (technically it’s already in the game on Primalist). We do have other specific plans for what the 4th mage mastery will eventually be, it’s actually probably the most decided of all the 4ths so far. (And just like the Runemaster was, very subject to change)

I know this hasn’t helped with what you’re hoping to see. I do think that we have more non-undead and non-animal minions than you might think. Elemental, animated objects, insect, mechanical and human summons are already all in the game too.

We will continue to expand the various skill options as we go too. It just might not be the specific combination of a mage summoning elemental golems. Really all I can say for sure is that it’s not the Runemaster doing it.

Frost Wall, Glyph of Dominion and several of the Runic Invocations sound like what you’re talking about here. Even one of the conversion nodes on Runebolt turns it into a turret. Also some of the stuff in Flame Rush has synergistic functionality and theming.

I’m not saying it’s exactly what you’re looking for but there might be something for you in it that you find fun. I hope you enjoy it, and if not, maybe we’ll do better with another upcoming class…

Yup, one of us doesn’t understand the other and I don’t know which.

It’s extremely similar yea.
