Could Summoner, the base class, get at least one or a few offensive/defensive skills to help them through lower levels? This is what I have in mind:
Quote:Pact Breaker
Offensive Spell
3 Ranks, 1 round Cooldown
Cannot be used if you are installed with a Youkai. Send a negative wave of spiritual energy that deals 100%/110%/120% of your Scaled Weapon Attack as Null magic damage on a target within 5 range. Deals 15%/20%/25% bonus damage to targets under a Transformation effect, and reduces the duration of Transformation effects by 1/2/3 rounds.
Quote:Spirit Addle
Offensive Spell
5 Ranks, 1 round Cooldown
Requires you to be Installed with a Youkai. Send a wave of spiritual energy on an enemy within 5 range, which may inflict them with Lingering Damage (Null) LV10/20/30/40/50 and Slow LV3 for 3 rounds.
Quote:Realm Barrier
Defensive Skill
3 Ranks
Grants Adaptive Armor LV(Summoner Class Level + 10/20/30) for 3 rounds to a target in 5 range. Duration and LV are doubled on Youkai. If used on self, this gains a 5 round Cooldown.
Quote:Form Sustain
Support Skill
3 Ranks, 4 round Cooldown
Heals target by 90%/100%/110% of your Scaled WIL (+10/20/30 bonus HP) to a target in 5 range. If the target is a Youkai, the cooldown is reduced by 3.
