Puppetmaster
As an advent player from the glory days of FFXI and a staunch puppetmaster from that game, I am requesting that SE add this job to FFXIV.
SMN and SCH are really our only two "pet" jobs; however with the mechanics already in place for the "pet" aspect of the job, why not go ahead and create the Puppetmaster job?
In FFXI the job used Hand-to-Hand combat; assuming the same mechanics would be implemented in this game, we already have PUG as a foundation for a Hand-to-Hand version of the job to grow from...
Please SE consider this beloved job to be added.:p

If we get a new pet job, expect it to be based off of a pet class. I would also expect it to be a job that's been in more than 1 game before (Beastmaster, Dark Knight could potentially have some kind of undead pet).
