They still massively dwarf your damage. The momentum penalty exists as to 'discourage' you not to repeat that again. Generally in cases of single-element classes like Verglas. They are generally going to have to use different method of delivering attacks.

Such as Verglas' Winter Bites, Aquamancers' Crest Break (Further enforced by Crest Surge invocation which sets your class to 9), and Indignant idols.

But this thread focuses on those critbuilds. Those who can crit, and have fleur trigger and practically attack three time in a single battle. If they get resisted, they lose one momentum, which means they can't do three-attacks, and is forced to be stuck doing two attacks. It really sounds like you're fighting someone who knows you'll be trying to fish to attack three times.

On other hand, yeah I think Summoners' install shouldn't be as strong as they are. Nobody likes a counter-class class.
