The allowed distance between BST and pet for moves is ridiculous low now.

When you catch a cold from someone irl, and you know who it is, do you complain and demand they take it back or just deal with it.

If that person infected you intentionally, then there can be legal grounds to sue them. If the disease is something lethal like HIV, then both civil and criminal charges can possibly apply. Let's try another analogy? ^^;;

Using the same medical theme, this is more like someone amputated my leg and I just want a prosthetic to replace the crutches I was given instead. We don't need runner's blades, we just want to be able to walk without being hobbled anymore. ^^;; Before anyone oversensitive complains about this analogy, I'm disabled myself so I'm confident in my right to talk about how it feels to be limpy. ^^

No idea what you are talking about.
The distance nerf is not even close to that reasoning.
It happened, it's not going away, just accept it and deal with it.

I don't know what you're talking about either to be honest. A medical analogy to a video game isn't even close to similar reasoning.

This is a suggestion and feedback forum that SE themselves request feedback on. If it's irritating to read opinions and feedback, then don't read it.

BST was nerfed for a very good reason, it broke the game at a fundamental level. Gaslighting people doesn't help any of your arguments. SE will not, under any circumstances, remove the distance restriction. Now they might ease up on it a bit but they intentionally wanted players to be in range of monster TP moves when using the Ready ability. This isn't an oversight, they wanted you to get hit by that stuff just like very other player does. You need to wear -DT gear when you run in to use Ready and play a lot smarter then watching cat video's and pressing ready over and over again at 20.4 yalms.

No one is gaslighting anyone. Making a medical analogy to a video game doesn't help an argument.

No one is asking for BST to be some penalty free DD. It's fine if the job design is to melee with pets, long term BST have been doing that for years before buffs.

The distance penalty creates more issues than it solves. Which is basically none because as you said BSTs can just run in and out in DT gear.

Bullying all the forums about pet jobs isn't going to stop people from having opinions. Its a feedback forum that SE encourages voicing changes. I encourage other BSTs to keep sharing their experiences with the distance issues and suggestions for workarounds.

Ultimately SE is going to decide whatever, don't need player moderators patrolling forums for what should and should not be suggested. Just disagree, state why and move on.

Yes you are

No one is asking for BST to be some penalty free DD

This is precisely what you are all asking for and is an example of you gaslighting people

The distance penalty creates more issues than it solve

As the previous problem was a complete breakdown in game mechanics, it's not possible for them to create more issues.

BST is perfectly fine now, you no longer can stay back at 20 feet and spam ready macro while watching TV. Now you need to pay attention to the fight mechanics, run in and out of range while maintaining situational awareness and adjusting gear dynamically. You and most other terribad BST's are incapable of doing that, you played BST because it was an "easy" way to get stuff done and since it's no longer "easy mode" you feel bad. The good BST's have long since adjusted their play style and are doing just as well as before, I know because I play with a bunch of epic BST's.

You don't know what gaslighting means if you're trying to say anyone speaking their opinion on this forum thread is trying to manipulate someone into questioning their own sanity.

You might be that emotionally charged to continue attacking people on forums but I'm not taking that in. You're aren't trying to have a discussion. Just starting arguments by going after someone's character in order to bully people away from topics you don't agree with.

I won't defend myself against your accusations because their unfounded and ridiculous. Please continue attacking me personally so I can report you.

[saevel]

Projection much.

[Rwolf]

You enjoy trying to rile people up with misdirection.

The topic is concerning BST distancing pros and cons. Not medical analogies. Not attacking personal character. Not calling people horrible BSTs for disagreeing with the changes with no knowledge of what content they are actually completing.

I apologize to others continuing derailing. Continue shouting into the void if you want (block). I'm all for disagreement but this is just petty internet fighting because someone has an opinion you don't agree with.

[saevel]

No SE won't remove the distance restriction. Please continue holding your breath waiting for them.
