    Bonus idea:

    * Demi-Bahamut is now summoned via ground targeter and will remain where he is stood unless combat ends or his target moves out of his range (Where he'll move towards them)

    The idea being creating more synergy between Summoner/Scholar where their actions directly correlate to their pets dealing more damage (With then SMN getting Ruin IV procs too) - This also allows the balancing of Scholar a bit easier around fairy heals, as it will no longer be auto-healing on its own and will be tied to your GCD heal skills as an additional potency boost.

    In addition, secondary skills being oGCD's means that they should be usable even while moving, and in addition, cast times are removed so that skills don't get queued and thus the now oGCD skills can be used at the moment they're pressed.
    I believe SCH's Fairies work exactly like this. They changed all the "spells" to Abilities with instant cast time. I don't play SCH much so not sure if this change helped over all or not. The problem with SMN pet AI is the Egi will either stop to cast a spell or wait until it's finished moving before it cast the spell. This is what is making it act clunky and mis cast spells; though I'm not sure why there is a delay when you command the pet to use an ability like Contagion but believe it's because Garuda is "casting" a spell rather than using an instant cast ability.

    Demi-Bahamut has a similar issue where he follows you around and won't cast anything until he stops. I believe my Rework D-Bahamut would also fix this problem.
