Yes plx. Ifrit could have a skill with 1 minute cooldown that triggers when there are more than 12 enemies on screen, which casts hell all over the screen, inducing DoT burn damage over everything. Just random ideas, they can get very creative with summons, instead of: *5 seconds* *herp, attack* *5 seconds* *derp, attack*, *5 seconds*...
Actually, I proposed an idea like that in one of my earlier posts.
I said something along the lines of having the summons using the spells of the corresponding elements. For instance, using Explosion where there are enough enemies nearby, and then using Fire Demon when an enemy isn't weak to fire yet or is fire resistant.
Something I also thought would make the summons more interesting is making it so they can cast the level 1 to 10 versions of each mage's ultimates, and that as the summon grows in level it'll have a shorter cooldown. The cooldown will be seperate from that of the real ultimate, obviously. The level of the ultimate used by the summon will be raised every 3 levels, so at level 30 it'll use a level 10 ultimate. Then between ultimate casts it'll use the other spells.
Edit: I just got a new idea for Bishops to make them a bit more interesting with support. How about giving them a new skill in third or fourth job that has the range of an ultimate, but rather than dealing damage it will grand the entire party a pseudo Divine Shield buff. Guards against 3 attacks and grants a 50% evasion chance for 30 seconds to all party members in range. The skill will have a 1 minute cooldown.
