Sure they won't be immune to magic and you can't target them with cure spells but, hey, thats why you would get more than one. Evasion tanking would be a thing of the past.

They may as well remove exp loss while they're at it, as no one will ever die. Remove White Mages and all curing spells because they'll be useless too.

they already did remove xp loss...

So far I think the essence of the thread is that most people recognize physical damage immunity is broken, but we should hang on to it regardless, so BSTs and PUPs can continue to solo. Yet some of the same people say it's easy to solo even with a lower than 100% PDT reduction, just that it takes more effort. Well, I guess that's a difference of opinion then, because I think it should be a challenge. It's not just inconvenient, if more Atma have to be focused on keeping the pet alive, damage is lower and hate becomes more of an issue (not only because of lower damage, but because the pet also takes damage, thus loses enmity). Sounds to me like it would be harder, yet still nowhere near impossible.
False.

The essense of this thread is:
1. butthurt plyer
2. a handful of players who think its broken
3. a lot of players who know its not
4. a lot of noise and little fact.

I've fought so many Nm's this way, I know how limited it is. pick an NM? you think Hedj solo is easy? you need to get in and fight it w/ pet. the poison aura and hate reset and bind will kill you and your pet if you are not on top of things and know what you are doing. Sometimes it kills you even if you do know what you are doing.

You argue for ignorance trying to claim it is broken because you say so. The devil is the details. On a player 100% pdt would certainly be broken. On a pet, not really. It only really makes a big difference on a few things. Very high damage physical NM's such as the cactuars, the tiger in altepa, hedjedjet, and a few more perhaps.

BST is the tank of pet jobs. Does bst NEED 100% pdt? no, ofcourse not. Is it useful at time? absolutely!

If this was a game breaker, players would have been complaining for months. but nope. We have a few ignorant job haters (I can't for the life of me understand why there is hate about specific jobs) trying to get other players hit w/ the nerf bat.

If you really don't hate the job, then why are posting here?

If you really do believe it is broken, pick of list of NM's, check all their abilities run a few numbers (rough calculations are fine) try to get some idea of how a 100% -pdt bst pet could stand up to them. Try to figure how long it would take to kill. Try to figure how much the bst could proc for actual drops at the same time. Educate yourself.

Or stick your head in the sand, close your eyes and continue to be a parrot, because you just can't stand it that another player is doing what they are doing. (w/out any meaningful detriment to you)

... then again you'll have a hard time figuring out how much damage a bst does, or how much time it takes.. no one has honestly compared pet jobs when it come to damage output.
