Bst Job adjustment manifesto concerns and questions.

[Sparthos]

I'd also find myself in a group much faster with any of those jobs than I would BST. What a humorous coincidence.

There is a reason no one wants BST in parties: The job has very little going for it.

I have no choice but to lay some of this blame on SE for having no idea what to do with BST all these years and on the individuals who continuously and relentlessly tout this idea of "dont touch my solo class SE! It's a lone wolf!".

Perhaps in the dark ages of CoP BST was a "solo class" and I do remember those petburned Tiamats when normal groups could barely keep up but XI has changed and continues to change. EXP is trivial now and so the old way of EXPing BST falls in favor of quick and dirty Abyssea parties. The new jug pets are strong enough to solo the NMs that used to require charm 'n swarm tactics as well.

This leaves us with party content and a gaping hole where a party role should be. The sooner SE addresses the real problems with BST, the sooner people would accept its presence in a party.
