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.

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