[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Arthos]

This is not about the difficulty of Sinister Reign. It's about the question if a melee/Bst mix can be buffed well by a Cor or not.

Ah my first post ever since playing ffxi. I have been a long time beastmaster since the old charming days. No one cared about beastmaster until we were given the capability to measure up against other DD jobs. I give credit to the Dev team for all the recent quality of life changes. But I have to say this distance nerf was made out of haste and not properly thought through.. It doesn't really create "more" of a challenge just "more" of annoyance. This was posted in the Freshly Picked Vana'diel 21 Digest.- Beastmaster
The range in which certain abilities and pet commands can be used has been shortened. While this changes the style of play a bit, please try it out and let us know your feedback.

So maybe they are looking into this and seeing if the distance nerf was too extreme? Hopefully they will respond with some type of answer whether it is good or bad.

Agreed. SE needs to undo the distance nerf, it ruins the playstyle of the job and is functionally flawed. It might have sounded good to them on the drawing board but its horrible now that its applied.

Or at least reduce it, I don't see why if they wanted this they didn't allow beast to have the option to be away from most but not all AoE.

Having to stand on top of your pet, and still struggle with not being in range with certain enemies is ridiculous.

No, we're talking about how people wanted BST nerfed because people like you wouldn't bring other jobs to sinister reign based on the fear that the COR might have to <GASP> do rolls. And I'm pointing out that SR is easy content that can be done with any decent set up and shouldn't be taken so seriously as to not invite a certain job or only invite a certain job.
