This is exactly what I want from any future pet jobs to be honest. I do like SMN but the lack of focus on the pets is really disappointing. I'd like to see a pet job for which almost ALL of their skills are pet commands and pet buffs, whilst their limited personal skill set focuses on debuffing the target to aid the pet.
