Summoner and scholar should be split up.

[Cabalabob]

I disagree that SMN and SCH should be split up. In fact I have a much more radical idea that instead they should be combined completely into a hybrid healer/dps.

Here's how I see it.

Arcanist renamed to Scholar. Emerald carbuncle remade into a healer pet, topaz remain the same. All scholar abilities removed from the job and made into base class abilities throughout the levels. (Leeches at 30, adloquium at 35, succor at 40, sacred soil at 45, lustrate at 50) the base stat for scholar would be mind and would gain mind traits instead of intelligence through levelling. Cleric's stance removed from conjurer and given to scholar but can be cross classed by conjurer. Party bonus would be piety.

Now when advancing to summoner, your first skill learned would be summon 3 (ifrit) at 30, at 35 you would learn spur and your summon command would change emerald carbuncle into fairy (a combination of Eos and Selene. Having embrace, whispering dawn, silent dusk and fey illumination). At 40 you learn summon 4 (garuda). At 45 you learn restore (instantly heals your pet to full health and resets their cooldown timers. This would make for interesting pet swap opportunities like garuda > contagion > swiftcast > fairy > restore > fey illumination) and summon 2 would become titan. And at 50 you still get Enkindle. Fairy's enkindle would be fey light. Which would be modified into everything lost from Eos and Selene, skill speed and spell speed buff and 20% Magic defense bonus.

Now I'm sure some of you are asking where is fester and tri-disaster? SMN dps is suffering enough as it is. Well for the sake of duty finder the class and job would be considered a healer, as it is essentially scholar now with more dps and tank goodies on it's pets. It would be a healer that has the ability to dps very well but not as well as an actual dps. Hence no more fester. As for tri-disaster... I dunno give it to the base class somewhere if you must have it.

For cross class summoner would draw from conjurer and thaumaturge.
