That's pretty much exactly what I was saying about the "Attack"/"Defend"/"Heal" commands.
Each pet would react differently to each 'ability' you selected.

Exactly and most likely Arcanist would learn these as it is the base class to the job of Summoner. You'd have a handful of vague commands that would work differently for each summon. On top of that you'd have your own skills/spells.

I certainly hope they don't go the path of each summon just being a single spell/ws. They'd be severely limiting themselves and you wouldn't get a system like the one described above.

I really do hope they go more of the Aion route for this one, that was a fairly fun pet system.
