Man, it seems all these homunculi summoners kept the details for themselves :3 (jk)
Does anybody know how Ice Wall works when casted along an homunculus?
It works as if a party member casts ice wall. You can’t control when homonculus casts it, so it is a horrible skill to put in there. Also, homonculus’s stats are bad so it won’t be much use for the ice shards either.
i made a humunculus once and now this buff appears on my secondary buff bar. so i dont now what this mean, can i summon the homunculus again? that not expire ??? my char has become a homunculus ???
That buff probably just means “You have a homunculus summoned right now.” Sorcerors get the same thing with their summon familiar spell to tell them that they currently have familiars active.
there are very few homun summoners because it’s not really worth it. 10 day limit kills the fun, just like with how hamsters used to be. and the inability to team storage trans weapons.
The best homun skills are jp16 (link3 alch3 magic missile) and kino3 raise.
fire pillar will become viable with the summoner patch, and it’s probably the strongest pyro3 build, but it’s not gonna be enough to make pyro top tier dps since homuns don’t benefit from agny or attributes.
This is the reason why i dont even bother to get myself an homunculus 
maybe in the future they will fix this, who knows…

I made one when it arrives from kTOS, but the low dmg and need to get all those itens to respawn him after a couple days, make homun worthless.
They should just copy the old RO homunculus system, with a couple changes.
Strongest pyro3 build would include alchemist you think? But homonculus has like 1k m.atk, and the AI is horribad…
yeah. full spr won’t help the homun much with only 1k matk.
but the upcoming patch adds your weapon matk to summons… which can make homun somewhat powerful. you just gotta put only fire pillar on it and no other skill. one firepillar every 18 seconds… (JP16 if you wanna be support)
fireball is also pretty useful to precast during item awakenings which could get scary on 315+ gear
pyro3 alch2 sorc2 should be rather strong now. the biggest barriers remaining are:
–homun duration, who wants to spend ?2m? + every 10 days? (and alch stones are such a pain to make, and need alch3),
–inability to team storage trans items (don’t like being stuck in “main” chars that much, who would risk alchemist)
- agny. having much of your damage stuck on agny and not the skill (making homun version weaker, and keeping you from wearing solmiki necklace).
-homunculus graphics. not everyone wants to see a flying blue naked butt all the time. Ragnarok Online had better choices here.
Oh, that’s interesting…I had no idea that alchemist homonculus also got new scaling
Will homonculus get our skill attributes as well?
Like for example the Lethargy: Strike damage?
no attributes. no fireball burn, no firepillar damage, no JP earth bonus… the homun is the caster and owner, not you.
the items are not so hard to get now. still is a little time consuming

Now with changes, anyone test homunculus? I know AI still the same but homun got SPR/Weapon buff like socer/necro?
homunculus maybe get the bonus … but since he never autoattack , we cannot know.
still cast skill pretty much at random so is not so much like u needed it for be competent… is just a little gimmick.
i’m gonna make a new alchemical stone for some special occasion, to brag about it with my guild and something, but not feeling like i needed it all time
it seems Homunculus does benefit from SPR, atleast healthwise. My homunculus window shows that it has 11592 HP but when dueled, the other party will see that it actually has ~23k HP. It seems to match the .66% SPR bonus as I has 296 at that time.
Also found out that they cast one of their spells once every 20 seconds. It also suffers from the same bad AI as sorc summon that it doesnt cast while you are moving around.
My question is, does the summon actually die? Because from one of my duels to test homun death, my enemy was only able to bring it’s hp to 1 and never dies. This might be because it was a duel therefore Im curious on what would happen if a homunculus actually dies from monster attacks. Is it gone forever and I have to craft a new one? Or do I only need to relog my character to respawn it?
From what I remember, it doesn’t. There was a glitch where it despawns when you die though. I’m not sure if that was fixed. You can load into a new map to get it back, but you can’t really do that in dungeons.
homun benefits from SPR, but it’s base damage is too low for that to really do anything. A trans weapon will give a huge bonus to it’s damage. can’t really recommend it tho. the only damage spell worth considering here is pyro3 firepillar10 (20 hits), and if you go this path should be the only thing you put on your homun.
My only real problem here was its survivability as i thought it would die and i would have to spend more talts to make another one. Damage wise it would suck, but i am thinking of making my alche3, linker 3 wiz3. Joint penalty every 20 sec + your own link seems op enough for me. I could also add sleep but ai only casts around itself instead of around an enemy. My highest damage would come from sleep(w/ dreameater attr which works with psychic and NULL)alche missile+link or combustion link with magic missile link as filler. Every time homun casts link, i can just throw in magic missiles. Alternative would be wiz2pyro but losing quickcast might be annoying
Homun does NOT get your attributes on it’s spells. or agny. or +lightning/etc on JP. or any damage attribute.
the question with dream eater becomes if the attribute applies when you cast sleep, or when you use other skills on a sleeping target.
stone curse spam is more interesting now, but probably still a bad idea. less damage taken from anything BUT fire?
icewall will basically troll yourself all day since it casts whatever direction the homun was facing at the moment.
raise will still be somewhat op.
I suspect mag force will be king.
