We need new Jug pets for seekers.

What we actually got was a regular crab and CC (2000 paslm each) So basically 2 crab pets. Not sure what to say.

I laughed.

Just an update, the plasm jug is weaker hitting and has worse accuracy than the old jugs. Has as much defense as raphie and takes about half damage after scissor guard, but it can't get or hold hate with it's pitiful damage, even when you're snarling onto it. W.T.F.

Clearly designed w/ the Bee and other Naakul Axe in mind /rollseyes. Here's hoping the Chapuli one wont suck!

I am disappointed in the new jugs, especially compared to the increase other pet jobs got. I mean sure it's a good upgrade, just seems like the pets should be doing a bit more damage.

what, they added sheep pets a long time ago and you know what sheep are used for at frat parties...

yes, sarcasm, yet another service offerred to all who ask :D

PS, picking on SE, not you, YOU have a point, the new jugs it seems not.

was trying the delve crab pet and ya i was disappointed. they need to fix the bst pet because it nothing like how the alternator (pup), Dashavatara Sash (smn) is. these pets that 2k plasma is a joke:(.

Played with the grasshopper today. Not a horrible pet.. Stronger than bunny but seems a bit weaker, if not, on par with Tiger which is pretty sad considering the Tiger caps at lv 114 while grasshopper is 119 (Using Kerehcatl Axe). He is however a lot more durable. I was able to chain a few ITs in Marjami Ravine. Sanguinary Slash (Max HP Down) would've really made this useful in delve bosses but he cannot use it. I don't think the Devs like the idea of Pets with enfeebling moves considering Slug and Lizard are now lost to the level cap and Hopper's best ability was removed. My dreams of a future Giant Bat and Beetle jug seems like a fantasy now... All I see are crabs.

Two crab jugs in one update does seem baffling. I guess HeraldHenry was just too awesome an idea at the SE offices for them to ignore.

If you ask me, we need some ViciousVorahal action around here. What am I to do when my SwiftSeighard caps at Level 94/109 SE? Start calling a bunch of crabs? Do I look like a crab master? (No offense to the seaworthy BSTs around here).

Well, at least Falcorr is remaining Faithful. And Mavrick, there's a new(ish) beetle I noticed in the Yahse Hunting Grounds. They should give that to you, it is kinda cool looking.

I feel you, as a BST myself, But you guys need to realize, as far as pet jobs go, BST has always been in the best position. Which i know is like winning the SE-Gimpolympics, But the point remains, these pets weren't going to make BST inviteable or super wtf, just like PUP and SMN are still pretty useless jobs despite the buffs they got.

I mean, PUP and SMN are more awesome, But they aren't getting party spots over other jobs still (Partially due to Player stupidity when it comes to PUP and MNK but we'll let that slide for now...)...

REGARDLESS, The point I'm trying to make is, your Pets got the exact same treatment as other pet jobs, Increased Stats/Level (Your pets now go above level 100 Like ours). Automatons level is linked to Animator now, and Pets to the new Ammo, Your is linked to main hand weapon ( I think?), So every pet job got the bonus of having level ~120 Pets (Except smn cause fk those guys)... Um... What I think I'm getting at is these new pets were meant to give us new pets, not exactly give us something like that barnacle crab lol...

The real power you'll see from pets is when you get a Main Hand weapon level 115+, Which will significantly boost the pets survivability and damage output (Especially in places like Dynamis on DC mobs)... So While I don't think you'll be seeing 5k pet WS, I don't think that was the point.... BST is already a strong job, and its pets are the best of all current pet Jobs... so coupled with your amazing Axe/Master DD potential and (once you have the proper main hand weapon) a boosted pet, You'll probably start to love some of these new pets.

P.S Crab pet is still sucktastic, I know Scissor guard makes it a boss for tanking but its DPS needs to be upped. But also try to remember the Delve pets weren't the real "Boost" BST got, the Main-Hand level matching was. GOODLUCK :D

PS JUST SO I MAKE IT CLEARER, SAYING BST IS THE AWESOMEST PET JOB I KNOW DOESN'T MEAN MUCH, I"M JUST SAYING THEIR BOOST WAS OBV GOING TO BE SMALLER BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY THE MOST POWERFUL OF THE PET JOBS WHEN IT COMES TO PET DAMAGE/ALL AROUNDNESS.... thats a word now.
