Maybe Inquisitor, although i would like to have more class archetypes rather than new classes. I think it's a bit of a missoportunity

Hello, first time commenting here. The thing with summon is the scaling is inverse to players scaling. At level 1 you are getting a lvl -1 monster and at lvl 4-5 you get to summon a lvl 1 monster. For those early levels summon can be quiet useful in combat. After that? I agree it doesn't offer much and you are better off playing the summoner class. To me the idea was/is that early level summoning can be done with an easy 3 action spell but if you want more powerful summons then you should be using rituals. From a designing point of view it's brilliant and it makes sense. But... Rituals are kind of hard, requiere multiple players or NPC, and I have yet to see it used.
