I'd like a Puppeteer type class, it could be a Black Mage supporter if necessary.
It would probably be a mage, but during 2nd job you could gain the ability to hang puppet strings over mobs and control them. You could actively control one and it's magic attack would be based off your Int, and touch damage would be based on your Str, the rest would just wander around and attack other monsters, but that would be very complicated to implement.
As you progress through job advancements, you could possess monsters of greater levels and even summon bosses. At 4th job, you might be able to summon Manon, Griffey, Leviathan, Pianus and the 3 ToT Bosses (names escape me). At 3rd job, you might summon Kimera, Snowman, Elliza, King Sage Cat, Crimson Balrog. 2nd Job might grant you the ability to summon Zeno, Ninetales, Alishar, Seruf, Deo, Tae Roon and Jr. Balrog. 1st Jobbers would be able to summon Stumpy, Dyle, Mano, Mushmom and that giant zombie monkey.
They could all be the same skill, really, 7 Points in "Monster Summoning" might let you summon Dyle whiled 11 could let you summon Alishar, for example, for the sake of simplicity. Manon has more than 1 magic attack, so...yeah, I haven't thought this through.
