    My biggest wish for this game:

    Complex:

    Total redesign of the SMN, to make it less 'generic MMO necromancer' and more Final Fantasy Summoner styled.

    Step 1:

    Convert ACN from being a damage type into a healer type. Give them leeches and Succor at early levels like CNJ gets. SCH becomes the natural job progression of the ACN.

    Step 2:

    SMN is now a Damage job based off of a healer class. Replace these little garbage pets with big powerful primal pets, but with a healing mechanic involved. The Primal spawns with 50% health, and that health drains away quickly. In order to keep the primal up and fighting, the SMN must constantly heal it to keep it's health from dropping to zero. At 0 HP, the pet despawns. On the other hand, the SMN must be careful not to overheal their pet. If the Primal ever reaches 100% health, it immediately stops and activates it's ultimate AOE attack, nuking everything in the area, then despawns. 90% of the SMN's damage now comes from their pet. SMN is no longer a DOT stacker, but does still have Bio and Ruin to throw around between healing their pet.

    I disagree with making the Summoner a gimped healer they should stay a dps. The Summoner's should eventually get the ability to summon the Primals at the cost of mp and once there MP is drained the primal does it's ultimate attack and leaves. Also we should be able to make pacts with the Primals so reduce the cost if summoning them and if the player uses the Primals ultimate attack it leaves the field.
