Arcanist (Summoner) Summon/Pet Control

[TTred]

I'm just curious to see how the community wants to see pets implemented. When it comes to summons/pets in other MMOs you are faced (generally) with two choices. Either the player will have large control over their pet; when it uses skills/spells, when it engages, what type of stance it's in (offensive, defensive, passive), and even stat allocation. Or, the player is supported by an AI that is, hopefully, intuitive enough to adapt to a changing battle. Each have their own benefits, especially with how the class system is designed for FFXIV.

If you prefer a summon/pet system requiring more hands on from the player - like this post.
