Hot take inbound.

All Youkai damage should be halved AFTER calculations. With each summoner type having ways to TEMPORARILY increase the damage back to full. Bonder would have the commands and Fight As One, etc. Shapeshifter has Chimera Install. Grand Summoner would need some sort of orders they could give to their summons to fill this role. Maybe, just MAYBE monsters would take full damage regardless if PVE is as big of a problem as claimed.

Hot take ended. The rest, fully agreed. Probably halve and dodge-enable chain unsummon, tweak the summoner weapons.

Heck tweak the summoner gear, GS uses what it has cause the Summoner Druid stuff does very little for the GS. There's a reason Lyric is a bag of tricks..cause that was the only way to make it function.
