Summoner
Most of the NA community believes that Summoner needs to be reworked, as it is currently less effective than other ranged jobs in the Feast. There are many ways to go about doing this, as posted in other threads, but here are just a couple of new ability ideas.

Acceleration (NEW): Allows for the casting of two tier 2 spells [Verthunder/Veraero/Impact] back-to-back.
Additional Effect: Increases Black or White mana received by 5 for each cast. Reduces the cast and recast time for the next 2 spells to 1.5s.

Example: Upon using Acceleration Verfire, Verstone, and Jolt turn into Verthunder, Veraero, and Impact that will combo back into Verthunder etc.
Adrenaline Rush
Terminal Velocity: Reduces target’s HP recovered by healing magic by 30%, up from 25%
Cometeor: Line of sight no longer nullifies damage and additional effect.

Actions to no longer require player to face their target to avoid actions getting cancelled from alleged line of sight.
Wolf Collar overhaul: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-System-Update
Other
Increase the activation speed of Concentrate for better use proactively to avoid getting CC’d after its use.
Add Confusion effect to CC resistances.
Add Pacification effect to CC resistances.
Add Slow effect to CC resistances.
Healing increase/reduction affects ALL actions (Spells/Abilities/Ground Target) and shielding abilities.

Great post, I've always been one to discuss the expansion of the wolf collar distribution and hopefully more rewards from it.
Also very much enjoy the ideas for Summoner. -
