What actions would Scholar have if it were seperated from Arcanist?

Scholar should be connected to Arcanist though, Bio/Miasma/Virus/etc. all kind of fit with the Healer aspect of Scholar. Summoner is the one which should be turned into an advanced Job like Dark Knight/etc.

They should rework Arcanist into an actual Healer, since that's what I actually remember Carbuncle as being for most of the franchise (Healing Ruby, Reflect, etc.), while Summoner should be reworked from a pet Job into what it is 50-60, since Eos/Selene are pretty much perfect while Summoners Egis are just crap (summoning a pet once does not as Summoner make... Scholar and Machinist are more deserving of the name at this point...). The way Bahamut is handled on Summoner should have been how all the main six Primals were handled. Just throw in some elemental wheel mechanic for building Primal Aether, Final Fantasy XIV has two Elemental Wheels; Fire > Ice > Wind > Fire, and Earth > Lightning > Water > Earth. So you could be building two stacks at a time, if you build Inferno (Ifrit) stacks, you decrease Frost (Shiva) stacks, but your Tremor (Titan)/Levin (Ramuh)/Whorl (Leviathan) stacks remain unaffected, for example. Plus the existing Dreadwyrm stacks. Would require a complete rewrite of Summoner (same unlock requirements as Dark Knight/etc., which would mean you'd have beaten all 6 Primals to unlock it and they can actually do something with them all), but given how lackluster the current one is I think it's needed... Both Summoner and Scholar were rushed out the door for 2.0s release and it shows, but I'd say Scholar came out on top. Dreadwyrm stance shows promise, but instead of applying that awesomeness to the rest of the Job, we're getting pet glamours instead... RIP Summoner... I'll call your Bahamut Mage from now on.

yup. SMN should be the Extra Job and it shouldn't even be a pet job. take away all the Arcanist stuff and give SMN Inferno, Tremor, Vortex, Judgement, Wave and Diamond Trances.
