a few jobs rely on knowledge of the recast timers for their main abilitys, by this i mean Summoner for example could do with the BP recast timers being shown perhaps by the avatars health bar so they dont have to keep going through multiple menu windows to check when the next BP is up, also Scholar could do with an Icon like Ninjas Utsusemi to show how many Statagems are remaining. It's the little things that can make a nice difference

You could also use the in-game commands rather than having to go through multiple windows.
/recast "Job Ability/Spell Name" will tell you recast. For SMN, this is "Blood Pact: Ward" and "Blood Pact: Rage". It works for SCH strategems too; when you do it for any strategem relevant to the current Arts you're in (i.e. Penury will work in Light Arts, but not in Dark Arts), then it'll come up something like [Penury]: (recast time) [Strats Left]. It's been a while since I've played SCH so I don't remember the exact format, but it shows how many strategems you have left. Alternatively, to avoid multiple windows, ctrl+b for pet commands, and just scroll down to your Blood Pacts.
I'm not against this system, btw, and in fact I'd support it. Just listing some alternatives that can work for you in the meantime. :)

Or they could just save development resources and officially sanction the application that already does this... They're going to go PC-only in a relatively short time period, so console users not being able to use it isn't going to be a big deal. They may as well work with the community making PC enhancements and use what is already out there that is already in common usage.
