    Honestly I would not go to change the GCDs but I would go to add OGCDs. The smn currently does not have many. I would thematically change Fester to something more coherent. I would free the carbuncle from the transformations and I would add some OGCDs in addition to the shield, perhaps even offensive. I would free up the phoenix OGCD heal which currently works only because the level designers are doing a big job to make the heals more or less always match a boss aoe. In reality I would also free the phoenix hot again for the same reason. Perhaps a similar stack concept could be used for fester to be able to use these utility abilities after summoning phoenix. So the smn is both justified for its dps by adding utilities to it, and making it a little busier by adding more weaves.

    For example, what I would like to see in this direction is every time we summon G/I/T, Aetherflow gets recharged with elemental type stacks of that summon and Fester change to an ability of the summon, much like we have now, but oGCD in nature. Then add two variations of colored ruin spells, one with cast time and the other insta cast but with lower potency to compensate for the mobility we get. Lastly, make sure we stay 'attuned' to the element of the summon for a fixed time before we can summon the next, so we can have time to use these new resources.
