BST JA Idea

I would like to suggest a JA that is an alternative to Call Beast or Charm.

Name: Haven't thought of one... (maybe "Feral Summon" or something)

Concept: It would allow the BST to call a pet without the use of a jug or having to charm a native mob.

This would allow us to have a pet under the circumstances of:
1.No charmable native mobs around.
2.No jugs/ran out/forgot jugs in MH.
3.AH didn't have any jugs on it.
4.Don't have money to buy jugs.
5.Don't have a craft level to make a decent jug.

Implementation: The ability once chosen would go to a sub menu with a list of pet families (IE. Aquan, Beast, Lizard, ect.) once one is chosen a mob of that family would be summoned. This allows us to be able to chose a mob that is stronger in the ecosystem so that things like Killer Instinct and monster correlation stuff actually get used effectively. Pet would function identical to a jug pet in means of control and pet commands.

Balancing: This ability would call a pet weaker then a jug pet so that Call Beast isn't dwarfed by it. The way i see the pet strength hierarchy would be:
Native Pet > Jug pet > New JA pet (Though I'm not so sure that native pets are stronger still.)
This would share a cooldown timer with Call Beast to prevent people from just alternating between the two between cooldowns. So this would prevent people from doing:
Call Beast > Jug dies before Call beast timer is up > New JA pet until Call Beast is up again

----------This point down are things I would like to have from this ability-------------

Wishlist: I would like it if the pet summoned was a greater mob. (IE. Malboro, Manticore, Roc, ect.)
It would be great if when 2hrd the pet would gain access to a powerful WS.
Would be cool if they could zone with us.

Feedback, concerns and comments very much welcome as long as it is in a civil manner.:cool:

Sounds interesting but at the same time complicated. With gear and merits it only takes a few min to recast your jug back.

Things I'd like to be considered added to the job "Beastmaster".

Name: Breeder
Type: Job Trait
Effect: Occasionally allows the user to "Call Beast" without consuming ammunition.
(Roughly a 10~15% chance that "Call Beast" will not consume a Jug).

Already existing Abilities and/or Traits that need to be adjusted.

Name: Leave
Type: Pet Command
Effect: When used on a pet that you attained through "Call Beast", you will have the ammunition returned to you.
(Pet's HP must be at 100% for effect to take place).

I had a few other ideas, but will add them once I can remember, lmao.
Hope you all like the two I posted though!

After doing dynamis with another bst I fought would it not be great if a bst could use reward on another pet in the party.

Job Ability: Share
Uses the same timer as Reward and restores hp to the targets pet, whether its a jug pet, charmed pet, smn pet dragoon pet pup pet etc...

I've always harbored a deep jealousy for the yagudo bst in meriphataud mountains (s). I want an ability that allows 2 jugs to be called at once, at least for a level 99 ability (if they are actually thinking of giving such abilities). I know it's unbalanced but I think it would be cool nonetheless.

I've got a pet a chocobo and npc out XD

If SE made a 2nd 2Hr job ability's for all jobs.
For BST it could be blind rage.
It gives the pet the 2HR of its job.

So the lady bug would have perfect doge or the sheep would have mighty strike etc...

Some pretty cool ideas in here, I'd be all for the freeby, generic brand cereal, type call beast move. Would be awesome for farming, standing around like a dope afk, or doing campaign.

not that anyone does campaign anymore, but ya never know what the future holds ~

even more amazing though, would be the ability to summon panakration pets are our free slaves.

This is actually a good alteration for bringing the use of "Familiar" back to Beastmasters, when used on a native/charmed pet, it does as always, and when used with Jug pet, it allows them to use their Job Special.

I like it.
