I mean I guess it can take a few hits for me? I mean if I wanted that, I should have rerolled a knight and made that into a "summoner" and just went full tank at that point.
One thing I was considering was to have my support with Hydro/Summoning spec.
Hydro gives better healing and magic shield, doesn't need intelligence *for support skills* and you have a healing that gives shield in summoning.
So I'd rather have a summoner being a mage that also does damage but since it does not require int to have better summons, you are free to explore more diversity in your build.
