How about we make Install their main class skill? It involves like. A deep bond with their youkai or something. Could also have the Cracked Mirror be their second Main-Class skill.

Benefits: Install Finally Nerfed, Summoner can finally be open to getting buffs/more youkai. It's legitimately not that bad.

For the few of you still on the FENCE AND STUFF.

Here's why this is a good idea.

You know those installers in 1v1? The guys who probably use Duelist? Aight. They can't Install + get the benefits of One-on-one now. Nor can people go Monk/GS for insane resistances+DR. They gotta choose between being able to install (drowned woman, etc), or being able to gain extra ki/DR/Combination Fighter.

As it stands right now, in almost every occasion, three classes will always be SUB. Not because they're bad, but simply because they aren't good enough to overpower the benefits of main-classing something else.

Lanternbearer has been out of the meta for awhile. Simply because it just can't deal enough damage, and it doesn't have the utilitarian support that Hexers provide. Hexers can reduce RES, and provide debuffs/buffs where needed. Or simply poison someone to death. LBs can't do much of any damage, anymore.

Curates don't have 'good' class skills, meaning they're likely to be subclassed.
Mages don't have ANY main class benefits, so they're probably going to be a sub class.
and Summoners have no downsides when sub-classed.

Hell, even Soldier is only situationally 'useful' if you use a shield and/or use bash (some people don't yo).

Some main class skills are inherently much better than others, and those are the ones that will be used as main class skills over others.
