[dev1088] Beastmaster two-hour abilities

[Caketime]

It looks like they been sitting with a thumb up there asses not doing shit for the past 4 months.

So much work is going into Chocoburger and making us less capable in Dynamis that they probably haven't had the time.

According to the timeline our jugs are getting adjustments this month, after all the nerfs to JUGMASTER over the past year I can only think it will be negative.

very easy fix to make new SP more usefull: add a "reset call beast timer" effect

[Luvbunny]

I guess you could say they are going "off-road".

I think they are getting road killed over there just like Caith Sith in the SMN's thread. They really need to be more pro-active seeking the player's feedback and stop living in their own bubble world. Ability to listen seems going out of the window. Now that the master of BS balance is no longer in the office, the new guy should take charge and "destroy" the old ways and give ways to new ways for FFXI.

They seem to be going with the "get the new expansion out and everyone's happy, but fix the 5 or 6 broken jobs and only they're happy" theory.

Well seeing how things are run this past year, I doubt the new expansion is going to be any good. If anything, it will take a good year before we are seeing any contents worth to do. You can almost wait 6 months or more before going back to see a good amount of contents. Most are probably not even worth doing with very little reward for the amount of time you need to spend. They lost touch lately, and after abyssea, they can't even get back up to speed to match that content.

Apparently they're doing a 'large scale change' to the new BST 2 hour.

Also, as we will be making large scale changes to the below jobs' new special abilities, they will be temporarily removed from the Test Server. Once the adjustments and debugging has been completed for the new effects we will re-implement them to the Test Server.

Red mage / thief /paladin / beastmaster / bard / ranger / ninja / dragoon / corsair

As long as it does not involve cannibalism - and it enhances the PET and the MASTER. I would not be surprised if the new ideas are just half baked, and rather tame, at worse, it will be even worse than the previous one.

I've been using the new bst special move on the test server. Its alot of fun.
However, one point to beware of. It does not actually reset the call beast recast at all. You cannot use it as an emergency call beast recast.

While the special ability is active the recast times do not activate at all. This means AFTER you use the special ability, you can spam call beast all you want. but if you use call beast right before the special ability, it will not reset the recast. YOu will not be able to call another pet during the special ability.

However, you CAN spam moves about every 5 seconds.

Well hopefully they will consider resetting the timer. Everything else sounds great now. Thanks for checking it out and sharing.
