I find it sad that you don't catch the clue that you have to evolve with the way game changes. BST is supposed to fight alongside its pet. If you don't find that enjoyable, then you are playing the wrong job. The job is not broken, you people with your mentality are what is broken. BST can stand right next to the pet and melee, you just want to play the job killing very high level stuff without the aid of a WHM. That is not the intent of the job.
