So wait, is Doom the only actual-summoner who scales off of Int now that they changed Squirrel Girl to Fighting/Speed? Follow-up that is probably asked-and-answered, but does that make him the actual-summoner with artifacts that give +summon damage and +a stat you want?
Iron Legion Sheath, Luke's Lucky Chain, Nutso the Squirrel, and SHIELD Badge all offer stats for other summoners.

100% they haven't moved summon to scale off regular stats because doing so makes summoners scaling multiplicative rather than additive and therefore a complete balance nightmare.

Wait, do people think Int still effects pet damage, when the big update patch notes said it had been changed to Crit damage and Med-Kit cooldown?

No, it's more that some of the good summoner Artifacts (Adv. Regalia, for one) and lots of the good Any Hero Uniques (Spear of the White Gorilla Tribe, Latverian Monarch Cloak, Sinister's Cuirass, stupid god drat Octobot Controller) are sources of good +Summon Damage while also having +Int as either one of, or the only, attribute.

How so? Summons are essentially a stacking DoT that has really finicky targeting; it's not like the total number of summons is uncapped. The D3 Witch Doctor managed to scale just fine off their main stat too. Or are you saying Gaz, themselves, can't handle it?

Blade seems to work best in most situations with a melee build. Also, Death Seed is better than both of his slot 1 uniques, because of the +1 to all attributes :laugh:

Diablo 3 Witch Doctor is a significantly more known-quantity issue. Summons are actually treated as a stacking DoT with finicky targeting from top to bottom as every Diablo 3 skill is built to scale from your DPS. Skills are nothing but a multiplier to your stats. Gargantuan is (say) 1000% of your whatever your auto-attack is. If you upgrade an item that increases your DPS by 1% then your Gargantuan gains 1% damage. And, unlike Marvel Heroes, if you want a summon you have to give up that skill slot - there's no passive summons.

In Gaz's case they would be looking at, just in the case of Doom, trying to balance a no-summons build against everything from the exact same build except with a talent that makes them deploy a base 3x15,000-20,000 'DoT' whenever they attack to one that has anywhere from 3 to like 12 roaming DoTs at any given time, all with their own base damage multiplied by your stats, and keep that scaling factor consistent across all characters as well as tune the base damage so that it's as useful at level 2 when you have 5 stats boosting them as it is at level 60 when you have 50+. It's way out of their depth.

Well, that isn't an upgrade of an existing artifact in the first place, so they're probably separate farms.

the best of both worlds would be a new cosmic enhancer item class you toss in a recipe with a cosmic upgrade token and an artifact to bake the stats onto the artifact

I've got 400+ splinters. Gimme some guidance:

Could get Angela, Blade, Cyclops, Emma, Goblin, Iceman, Iron Fist, Kitty Pryde, Magik, Magneto, War Machine.

I eliminated some other eligible ones because I didn't want speed/energy, strength/durability, or speed/fighting competing for gear with my other guys and stuff. I hate pet classes, enjoy classes that have neat builds that have powers that interact back and forth with each other, and I have no real preferences about ranged vs. melee vs. hybrid.
