gnolls? Who mentioned a gnoll? What about cracklaws, matamatas, mantids and panopts?
At any rate nice to see you in the thread... so uh... when we getting significant updates that allow us to suck less in content that matters?

Cracklaws, Matamatas and Mantids fall into the range of "Weird AutoAttacks".
I just think at 99 we'd have more of a capacity to charm bigger, more intelligent beasts.
It's going to be another sheep and another crab. Please look forward to it.
First and foremost, thanks for replying^^
As it pertains to the pets; I don't really care anymore, in a way, I saw this coming.
Monstrosity > beastmaster anyway. I will just wait for the next mon update; hanging up my axe for good.
There is nothing beastly about bst in XI; previous titles had much more interesting pets; some even called forth dragons and behemoths iirc.
When ppl see a bst pet; they should run in fear or be intimated.
Anyway, thanks for the reply Grekumah^^
I totally agree with SE not adding Dragon pets. In Role-playing Lore, Dragons are the oldest creatures in all worlds, they are the most intelligent creatures by far, and also they have magical abilities that rival the greatest mages.
These factors would mean that Dragons are simply too old, smart and magical to fall prey to "charm." They are not "beasts" in the sense of wild animals, which are the Beastmaster's traditional charm target, and replicated in the jugpets. Dragons are more like ancient gods. Whenever Dragons have served people, it has always been by choice - for example Dragon-Riders were able to use Dragons as battle steeds because the Dragons respected the rider and shared a common cause. Sometimes a powerful wizard would enslave a Dragon - but usually this would backfire and the wizard would perish, because Dragons are smart enough to break spellbonds soon enough.
Some of the other mobs mentioned here are more realistic and interesting, and would fit the Beastmaster's professional profile better.
Also I agree with the other posters who enjoyed charming hecteyes for the interesting Sic list, they were always one of my favourite charm mobs too!
Behemoths? They have to be dumb, Beastmen enslaved them during the Crystal War as war creatures.
They also have Dragon pets. I don't know why the Orcs are so much more charismatic than us people (Apart from galka, that's obvious.)
Square hide behind Lore when it suites them. It's been evident for a while.
