Asura summon

The Asura summons are animated Polymock pieces that are the results of Asuran technology designed to imitate the creatures they resemble.

There are four skills linked to the Asura Title Track that summon an Elementalist ally. Unlike minions or spirits, they are fleshy, do not appear on the minion UI panel, and stay linked to the caster, even if he or she dies. They are all given by Hoff, in Rata Sum, through the Polymock quests he gives.
