Now, Let's compare: The two that are closest to BST are PUP and DRG:
PUP gets Martial Arts, Evasion Bonus, Tactical Guard, and Critical Defense Bonus
DRG get Accuracy Bonus, Attack Bonus, Conserve TP, Critical Defense Bonus
BST gets Fencer
Hmmm... Doesn't seem even does it?
Next up. Job abilities
PUP gets Deus Ex Automata, Repair, Maintenance, (Merit) Role Reversal, (Merit) Ventriloquy, Tactical Switch, Cooldown
DRG gets Ancient Circle, Jump, Spirit Link, High Jump, Super Jump, (Merit) Deep Breathing, (Merit) Angon, Spirit Jump, Soul Jump, Dragon Breaker
BST gets Charm, Gauge, Reward, Call Beast, Bestial Loyalty, Tame, (Merit) Feral Howl, (Merit) Killer Instinct
Guess what, this isn't balanced either.
So, those 3 Job Traits are pretty freakin' reasonable... Because you know who else gets Shield Defense Bonus... WHM... Yeah, the people that are a back line job get Shield Defense Bonus. You know who also get Fencer, but their main is a Two Hand weapon... WAR. But you know what else WAR gets: Attack Bonus II, Defense Bonus II, Max HP Bonus IV, Critical Attack Bonus II, Critical Defense Bonus, Shield Defense Bonus, and Double Attack. So You tell me legitimately why a Job that's classified as a "Front Line" Job has 0 useful Job Traits and Job Abilities?
