If you did, I really have no sympathy. When my ls goes into abyssea with a plan and there's people already fighting the nm we planned on fighting, we go somewhere else. You wasted your own time waiting around for what you probably hoped would be a free nm if the bst died (and let's face it, you probably did think the bst was going to die). If you don't have a plan b or c or q, that's your own fault.

Sure, high pet pdt- may seem ridiculous, but the whole premise of abyssea seems to based on doing broken, ridiculous things. The most ridiculous thing about abyssea? The fact that there's 9 friggin zones filled with natural mobs and not one is charmable. Bst's natural ability is completely useless in 9 friggin zones. But i guess if even if we did have our natural ability in abyssea, you would steal the mob on a pet swap or complain in here if there was a party of bsts continually tossing pets at it.

Honestly, you don't even need DG to kill most things in abyssea if you're a bst. DG is the poor man's route. If you can continuously supply yourself with dippers, have 2 pet eva axes and eva atams, you can pull off a lot of the same stuff with mounted champion and pet food. The same dangers apply: DOT and casters. If you ran into a bst taking out an nm this way, would you be calling for a nerf too?

So much hate on bsts here. I believe it's horribly inefficient to solo nms without procs if you're actually wanting seals and I've sat through dncs, nins, and thfs do this. It sucks sitting on the sidelines waiting. I'm not one to call for a nerf against other jobs, but seriously, in zones where characters are practically godlike, if you take this away from bst and pup ( i guess, never seen the soling you're talking about but if its whm puppet and a pup meleeing how is this different than whm and mnk?), its only fair you give all these nms capped acc so evasion jobs can't solo them either. Let me clear, I don't want any job to be nerfed but if you're going to ban one job from the playground, you may as well ban everyone.
actually, the eva route is generally superior, -pdt does nothing for magic, evasion works on both, ask a thf, dnc, mnk, nin tank. This is also why bst don't solo the cast heavy NMs, aside from the proc issue our beloved -pdt set (which is so beloved I've never botherred to make one) is useless in the face of a mob with MP. The OP is simply trying to have their own inadequacy as a player addressed by nerfing any job that they could level to the same capability in a week, but are either too lazy or unskilled as a player to do.

honestly, this kind of garbage post is why we need a /blist feature on the forums.
