Speculative value in this month's Beastmaster update
Dear Director Fujito,
Thank you for the significant effort towards the Beastmaster class. The quality of life improvements towards removing the need for Charmer's Merlin is appreciated. I have taken the time to consolidate some feedback and hope you consider it.
1.) Most JA activation is still inconsistent with 7 yalm restriction, especially REWARD.
2.) Instant Ready activation is problematic because it is breaking our ability to swap gear consistently. We cannot wear Desultor Legs for Ready-5 consistently. Please revert this or increase Ready merit from 2 seconds to 3 seconds.
3.) Zealous snort is overwritten by Trust Haste2 and significant other Buff priority problems. (This should be Haste2 or JA Haste in my opinion). More buffs should extend to the party so that Beastmaster can be willfully included in a group setting.
4.) It is not acceptable to rely on lvl 113/117 pets for self-buffs when content level can reach 145-150. Can you give us 5/5 Beast Affinity automatically? This should allow jug pets to match our item-level natively. Replace Beast Affinity with a meritable category that increases the distance from 7 yalms to 12 (+1 per merit).
The long-standing job ability activation inconsistencies have been compounded by additional difficulty in swapping gear for Ready moves (Beastmasters do this for recast time (Legs, specifically), as well as Pet buffs).
To summarize, your effort is greatly appreciated, but this months' update for Beastmaster seems to be more hindering than helpful, as it does not ease the frustration of inconsistent job ability activation for all job abilities ...and abilities such as Ready, penalizes gear-swapping for recast duration and potency of pet abilities.
Respectfully, please try again.
