Proposal
I would like to propose that a 20-point inspiration can be given by a Master Entertainer with EITHER Master Dancer OR Master Musician.

Return Image Design requirements to normal.

This would allow Entertainers to take on a secondary profession.
Justification
Entertainers are the only profession beholden to the NGE system and thus we are locked so simply being Entertainers. We have no viability outside of the class for the ground game and no real secondary means in which to make credits.
Motivation
By allowing Entertainers to be more than simply Ents, more players will be encouraged to have Entertainers and Entertainers themselves will be able to get away from the feast or famine economy that we're prone to being victims of by being wholly reliant on a tip.
Entertainers are the lifeblood of this game and this server, we offer a 20-point that makes or breaks the game for all players regardless of what they're doing. Entertainers even need each other, as we cannot get rested XP without watching another Entertainer. When the Mos Eisley Cantina is empty - it doesn't matter if there's an Ent anywhere else, we're ALWAYS called for.

Overall, this server may have a seemingly solid number of ents but how many of those are guild-only ents or personal personal buff bots? How many actually main an Ent to buff for the community or even take passion in their profession anymore?

Not many.

That needs to change. As one of the most unique classes in any game, we deserve more.
 
There continues to be a shortage of Entertainers on Restoration and a disparaged social community. We have to fight to be seen as a legitimate class. Cantinas tend to be ghost towns only manned when those few of us who love the class choose to be present.

There's no draw to being an Entertainer outside of a service we give others.

I feel that allowing Entertainers the ability to enjoy the same class diversity as the other CU classes without a detriment to the singular service we provide would be a beneficial step in encouraging more people to play and enjoy these classes. Rather than asking how many people would make buff bots that already exist, we should be asking, "How many people will take on a Social class if allowed to do a 20-point buff with Master Entertain + Master Music OR Dancer?"
