Stop making beastmaster the strongest job in the game....
Its supposed to be a job to let players farm mid and easy lvl content solo.
Not supposed to be a job for high lvl content. When we have a top party of 5-6 and do escha t3 and similar content and then hear the same can be triod by 3 bsts it makes players leave then game. Dont let the noobs behind the pet ruin the game completely pls. Leave some for old players who still enjoy the hunt to bring down hard content in traditional style.

The people who are trioing T3s as bsts have top of the line, best in slot gear. They spent hundreds of millions of gil perfecting their gear and maxing their skirmish augments.

Any other DD job can get similar results with the same kind of money and effort dumped into their gear.

The only reason you are hearing about it for bst so much at the moment is bst is one of the funner jobs to play, so when hardcore players choose to pimp out a job, they choose bst to pimp out.

If they had chosen pup or smn or geo or pld instead, they'd still have the same results.

No, they wouldn't. Your post just confirms you have no idea what the situation is like atm. A PUP keeping up with a BST, on anything? That is hilarious. Just had a pixie fight in escha where two bsts spammed aoe grasshopper for 23~30k nonstop every 10s and killed all three with ease. I don't see a PUP doing that at all.

Eh, I wouldn't say people are playing bst because it more fun. Bst is being bandwagoned for the same reason rng got bandwagoned. It's the new safe way of clearing content. I'm sure there are lots of people who like it, but for most it's just a means to an end. Still no reason to ruin the fun of the people who do like it, not like that has stopped people before.

100% wrong. I have top pimped jobs and we do clear theese things but we are just very annoyed how poor players (yes i know they suck until they got bst) suddenly clear top content with ease. Beastmaster is overpowered atm. that is 100% certain.

I disagree. There's a vast difference between bandwagon BSTs and ones who have put effort into gearing, farming Job Points, etc. A bandwagon BST who has just picked up the job has a 25 second Ready timer generally (-5 from merits), and maybe 20 if they went to get a Charmer's Merlin. Most don't have the ASA legs, or the Gift to reduce timers further. That's already twice as long on TP moves as a BST who has put their time and effort into improving their job. And then there's a difference on gear for pet damage or survivability; doing Sinister Reign with my linkshell, we took two BSTs, one of which who was geared and one who pretty much slapped gear together. The former was hitting fairly well for ~3-4k damage (and he's not capped out on gear by a long shot; I'd rate him mid-ranged at best), while the second whiffed often, and his TP moves hit ~1.5-2k with the same pet, same move. Additionally, the second was burning through pets far faster, and even had periods where his timers were down where he could only sit on the side. Gear makes a huge difference, and alters DPS by a large margin. A party of bandwagon BSTs isn't going to be clearing the top tier content as efficiently or effectively as a group of solid DDs or a well-rounded party.

Um anything that a bsts can throw pets at without decent dt sets without having to resort to throwing a lot of extra pets at is content that eminent geared DDs can handle. Most high end stuff involves great DT sets and reward sets and even then often still best to have a player do the tanking

So other player being able to clear content makes you not like the game? you only like a game where you have top stuff and other players don't? sounds l ike a personal problem, not a game design problem.

The irony of a Samurai saying this makes me tingle.

The samurai part is a typo. I am pld rng thf mains.
