[dev1289] Job Adjustments

You can be a mid level BST and affect hard content with 0 risk.

Cool story. Too bad it's not true.

[Olor]

Seriously. Been playing BST for years and I didn't even get to go out on harder content because I am a casual player and I didn't feel geared enough. I was super excited that I might have a chance to play endgame on my favourite job before the end of the game. That hope was shattered by this update.

And yeah, before people come along to slag me, sure I am not the greatest player out there, maybe some superhero with perfect augments and every bit of BST gear out there can still do some endgame now, but for regular BST there will be no slots once again.

[Jile]

Think of new strategies.

Honestly, this Nerf is so powerful and so very broken right now, BST isn't playable. No strategies work when your core functions are broken beyond usability.

The Nerf will be removed or BST will no longer be played by anyone for any serious purpose.

SE messed up bad.

I agree to this. I'm no BST myself but I hate to see BSTs trying to get their pet moves in real close and then die from dangerous mob moves because of the nerfs then waiting for Recast to call another pet.

I'm no BST but all the feedback I see makes this seem like a terrible solution to a niche-y problem....

No, it is playable. Just not in the way YOU want it to be.

[bazookatooth]

It's playable, but it's BAD and It's not the way ANYONE wants to play it.

[Alhanelem]

No, it is playable. Just not in the way YOU want it to be.

It doesn't really sound like the way anyone wants it to be, not just him.

[Jile]

No, it is playable. Just not in the way YOU want it to be.

Can I draw out a weapon, yes.

Can I send a pet to attack, yes.

Can I use pet ready moves, occasionally when the positioning is right, yep.

If that is the extent of your definition then yes BST can 'play'.

Now, if you mean does the job work effectively - For the love of all things, no, not even remotely.

If BRD had a 2 yalm radius for songs, they could still play. Would they be effective, heck no.

Lets stop cutting hairs here. BST is severely, critically, undeniably broken with this nerf. It needs undone.

[Singforu]

No it's not. You people want to just stand on the sidelines with your pet doing all the work. Wake up, SE doesn't want you to play that way. SE wants you to stand right next to your pet and fight along side it. You only consider it broken because you don't want to play it the way SE intends for you to play it. Get over it.

A BLM could not play the job the way SE intends for it to be played and melee without casting a single nuke. Is his DPS going to take a hit... you betcha. Play BST the way SE intends for you to play it and stop whining.
