With the new jobs Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian not having a base class... which we don't really know what that means exactly, would it be possible to separate Summoner and Scholar and make Summoner much more unique? With the way combat works in FFXIV it would be interesting to see Summoner use their summons as an actually part of their attacks instead of just being a debuff machine with a pet that does mediocre damage. Whenever I envision how Summoner should work I always picture the game Folklore for the PS3, or how Yuna worked in Dissidia.

You could have a Ifrit combo that would be your main damaging combo. A Garuda combo could add adds debuffs or DoTs. Titan could be shield moves or damage prevention.

Granted I'm not a game designer so I don't really know if these ideas would be good on anything other than paper but Summoner doesn't really feel like a summoner in FFXIV.
