However, this is something that can be changed. We’d like to look in to this based on your feedback, so if you have an opinion please let us know. (It won’t make it in time for the final chapter, but we would like to look into it for the future of existing Voidwatch content.)
    Nursery Nazuna caps at level 86 without Beast Affinity merits and requires 4 Beast Affinity merits and augmented Monster Gloves +2 to cap at 99. Given that some of the stuff we bring our Voidvoyeurism to bear upon is hard to hit already and that Sheep Charge requires 100 TP, I could seen even a level 96 sheep being slightly more horrible than a level 99 sheep. Keeping in mind that pets can't drink Stalwart's Drink, a level 86 sheep would have a terrible time gaining the TP for Sheep Charge.

    Lucky Lulush is available at the same level as Nursery Nazuna, almost as cheap to produce or buy, and has a much higher level cap. It also has a physical, single-target Ready command that's very similar to Sheep Charge.

    GooeyGerald is a really cheap high level pet with some amount of resistance as well. both his TP moves are magical though, Good thing is they can't miss!

    This is a good point.

    Sadly, I mentioned that last bit because I assume that the Development Bros WANT the !!! move itself to miss at least 5% of the time. Balance, sadness, giant spiders with the heads of horses, etc. Even within the rabbit's repertoire, Lucky Lulush's Snowcloud would be preferable to Foot Kick since Snowcloud is elemental.

    The rest came from having to pick something level 76 and cheap to match the Development Bros qualifications, and uncapped to match my own qualification.

    Yet sadly, in the end bst is going to be no more desired in VW now, than it was then. I just can't see an alliance leader filling a slot with a job that has 1 potential proc. Maybe if that sheep proc showed up at the same rate that all the bst procs combined came up before the update, which seemed pretty often, maybe. But odds are it'll be one of those procs that you'll see maybe once every 7-10 VW's or so.
