Pet th - Just hear me out

[Caketime]

Don't care enough to wade through the whole thread, but since I use my BST often figured I'd put in my 2 cents.

Wouldn't mind BST pets getting more TH, but the job would need to be crippled in some way to counteract people who behave badly when they play it. For instance, make all mobs that link bolt straight for BST and lengthen snarl timer. Or make pet TH level dependent on a timed JA that can't always be up and which shares a timer with Reward or Snarl or both.

I would agree with the sentiment, however, that if you care about TH'ing something, you best bring a THF anyway.

lol @ this entire post.

Whine all you want BSTs but I dont think SE will touch TH on pets again just because they already nerfed it and I agree with you Caketime we all have the right to express opinions but calling someone opinion "asnine" is disrespectful and I bet you felt very good for doing it, so kudos to you... thats why all BSTs are hated in this game (not all of you, I am not generalizing) most of you have this bad attitude that noone can stand.

Misspellings are one of my pet peeves. The word is "asinine".
I prefer "obtuse" myself.

You were generalizing. You came in here and posted your remarks for no reason other than to feel "very good for doing it". You succeeded in nothing other than bumping the thread.

As easy as it would be to take cheap shots at you like you have the beast masters, I think I'll just say "move along" because you have nothing to add to the conversation.

Note that I didn't claim your opinion was asinine, I only implied that it was so. My little bit of fun on the forums is no reason for BST to be hated, it's more like the community is mad that we can solo better than they can with their super weapons and gear that takes an unreasonable amount of coordination between multiple people to acquire. I can understand that, it's OK to be mad and toss around generalizations that apply to maybe 1% of the BST population because of the comments of one player. I'm sure you've got some booty to plunder, so I'll let you get back to that. Have fun!

I was intrigued by this, so I went and tried Lulu in Abyssea-Kon with RR/MC/DG on efts (because they link). It went ok but I was wondering what atmas you use when you do it. Do you just let Lulu whittle them down or do help out with damage with a dagger AoE ws?

I go with Stronghold, Vissitude and Siren Shadow. Massive Regen with some evasion makes it very hard to kill that rabbit when you're cleaving mobs. When I farmed Despot, I usually have Lulu build up to 100% tp. Then I slap on my Skadi feet, Run past all the dolls along the wall with agro, throw Lulu on one doll, Whirl Claws, Sit back and relax with more Whirl Claws until they're all dead.

SE has already made their position clear on bst and TH. As for the behavior of bsts, its crazy. A friend of mine was farming dyna-quifim the other night on blue mage and a bst followed him around. My friend started on bats, a bst came and camped on him, my friend moved to krakens. The bst followed him to krakens proceeded to try and overtake the camp, my friend went back to bats and the bst returned. Also, please don't tell me this is a new phenomena, SE nerfed leave a long time ago because beastmasters used to drop IT mobs on top of xp parties when the bst wanted to overtake the camp. BST has always been the job for people who didn't want to participate with others.

Dropping ITs on parties was the height of comedy back in the day, it broke up the monotony of running around killing stuff.

Also, I know this may not be standard for everyone, but when I first started the job years ago and asked to join an exp party I was told to fuck off and level something else. So while I do have certain tendencies influenced by early gameplay experiences like refusing to ask for help, and the occasional very intentional NM steal at 1%, I only do it to people who act like jerks to me. I also used to enjoy ruining AB parties and MPKing the old RMT alliances until those shenanigans were patched. Hmm, I might be an asshole. Oh well. :3
