Would that be to save hotbar space? I haven't really counted out the amount of actions it would be with 1 button for each summon and at least 1 elemental spell but I don't think it would be too many compared to other jobs. The other jobs that have sort of activation actions are Sam and nin and I think they have 4 each so 4 makes sense but I also don't think 6 is too many when compared to ast

I haven't thought of any kind of buff actions that would compliment this type of gameplay but a lot of the buffs just come from using the summons so there may not be many other actions required, maybe a pet buff off gcd.
Personally I think having the ability to cast all 6 spells and summon all 6 without combining them to get a 5th and 6th makes it more unique compared to whm and blm that have only 3 elements each
