summoning isnt useless. no skill is totally useless. summoning is simply a huge waste of levelups.
its cool to get water elementals daily, but spending those 5 levels on e.g. pathfinding will get you much further. or nature magic or whatever.
furthermore, summoned-through-spell water elementals are much more useful than the regular ones. they dont slow down your army, they are expendable, and since they get their spellpoints maxed whenever your summon extra, they will fill the whole battlefield with quicksand before running out of mana. after all, quicksand and fatigue are why we need WE, and they dont have to come in great numbers for those.
and while 6 GM summoning heros can summon a mighty army over time, which is good, it doesnt show that summoning is good, it only shows that having 6 GM whatever heroes is good. like 6 GM magic resistance heroes who would hardly ever notice the elements...
