SE really?! really 99 cap boss this hard?!?!

Oh I agree with the principle of "pay it forward" and often do, but I'm just one guy.

You make a decent point about a solo version, but let's not forget Beastmaster. The job was specifically introduced for people who prefer to solo. Now granted a new BST will have to get outside help for limit breaks 1, 2, and possibly farming testimonies for 5, but there he would need only one helper and not 5.

Bst wasn't introduced for people who liked to solo. SE did such a good job of completely fucking up bst in the first nerf that bst has never recovered since.
For those who dont know Killer effects used to give atk acc crit rate and haste which of course affects bst alot more.

It didn't help that SE considered (and still considers?) the ideal party/exp fights to be against waves of DC with the occasional Em. Nor did the jug pets cutting into exp help. nor did charmed mobs cutting into exp if you got one high enough level to actually do something. Now that I think of it we have GOV now so it took them nearly 10 years to actually make thier misguided assumptions about thier own playerbase halfway accurate?(I wouldn't know since i've never been in a bookburn)
