just tried again at lvl 30 with tiger familiar. I was fighting other tigers at batallia, I couldn't spam claw cyclone more than 2 times in a row, it was doing around 300-400 damage, but my main bst was very gimped. The familiar was getting hit really hard though, so there is that. All my other classes cannot compete for the "ready" damage that the familiars do, it's insane. even with WS.

Since most people are soloing most of the time, I definitely don't think hitting hard vs exp fodder mobs is overpowered.
If you want to play beast with your friends without outshining them - charm monsters when you play together.
