I think a lot of players would like to have a SMN job in the game and really it would be in SE's best interest to go that route and make it available if they didn't plan it already. They can just make it so that SMN can call a weaker version of the Avatar (which would explain why multiple SMN can summon the same avatar at the same time) but I think they really need to make it a playable job.

I personally like Airget's ideas.
