Future Job Abilities, what do you want?

Even though im neither of these roles, it would be awesome if

1. BLMs had access to Doublecast. How would it be used? Well, waiting 3 mins for every Doublecast sounds plausible. How long? 30 secs. How would it work? Every cast you make counts as 2, so casting 1 Fire sends 1 fire, and another immediately after. Could you do double flares? Depends, though there would need to be some kind of drawback if that was allowed, in my opinion.

2. SMN or even SCH had an "Oversummon" kind of skill, that lets them summon more than one pet at a time, at the cost of slowly draining MP over time for a period of 30 secs with a 3 min CD. Would greatly increase the already pretty potent DPS.

3. BRD already has a magic res debuff for bosses which make them valuable in caster heavy teams, but I dont see any love for the Melee classes/jobs. How about a "Symphony of War", where it increases the physical damage of the party. Why not a defense debuff? Well, it evens them out.

I main PLD though i cant think of anything big for my own role. Funny how that works.

This should be done with a gun wielding healer class, if someone in your party dies twice within a certain amount of time you should be able to shoot them in the back of the head, making them unraiseable until everyone is out of combat, and your next shot would transfer a portion of that player's stats to the next person to make up for them being dead. The ability could be called GWHAAAAA DAMN IT!

Call Wyvern

Perhaps not any special skill or ability for a certain job, but rather set bonuses that further enhance skills/abilities that are already present. Something like how WoW does bonuses on their gear.

As a DRG, I loved the move Penta-Thrust from XI. Wouldn't mind having that again simply because I thought it was cool.

The missing abilities from version 1.0 that didn't make the cut (Red Lotus, Phalanx, Aegis Boon, Holy Succor etc etc). But I have a feeling Yoshi has simply put these aside for future level cap increases. ;)

1: For monks, I'd like to see AXE KICK and SOMERSAULT as actual Monk abilities. They can basically just keep them as is (though perhaps changing Somersault to reducing both spell and skill speed in PVE), replacing them with other PVP-only skills. Just those two skills alone would make PVE Monks even more badass.

2: Also for Monks, I'd like to see Aura Cannon or Chi Blast, some sort of ranged attack. I mean, every single other class has some sort of ranged attack, why not Pugilist/Monk? It could be like Piercing Talon, being just simple damage with a high TP cost.

3: So far, Paladins, Black Mages, Summoners, and White Mages are really the only jobs with some super-fancy awesome ability on a ridiculously long cooldown. It'd be really awesome of SE were to come up with similar abilities for the rest of the jobs in the game.

Rampage for warriors would be pretty sweet. 1.0 players know what I'm talking about though it would obviously need to be tweaked to fit the new battle style.
