Cry more BST haters, your tears are like delicious nectar.

There is alot of gil placed into soloing certain things that other jobs can kill with ease and use little to no gil for. I think that the balance is there, you just need to learn to accept that certain jobs have specialties over others. And that in fact monsters (which is what BST specialize in), have a higher damage base and damage reduction on things far less than their level. A higher HP is fair seeing as how call beast is an almost 5 minute recast timer and seeing as how everything can go to shit in less than 1 minute flat on this game I dare say adjusting or playing with that totally destroys the job.

I just don't see gimping BST being a fair option at all at this point, I mean are you simply complaining about BSTs ability to survive, because thats been a trademark of any pet job. If you are mad at seeing people solo stuff that used to be difficult to do, get over it its no longer 2002, and your hnmls doesn't bot claim stuff anymore.

Until SE makes it to where we can rapidly drop familiars out when they die like smn can resummon or cut call beast cool down in half or more or add a ja that let's us remove various status afflictions including doom then I'll agree with a bst nerf, until then get over it and leave my bst alone.

Ignore Habu he is an attention starved pre-teen.

Funny story. I saw a thief and a white mage aeolian edge burning like 6 mobs at a time yesterday in bubu.

I do dynamis with a Dancer and a RDM mule for haste and we AoE pull 8-10 mobs on my THF every night. I also solo things like Bennu on my THF I guess THF needs nerf too hey? :P

It's not their fault that the haters want to cry about ANY jobs potential to do something they can't. It's prolly some bandwagon Ukko's warrior that is sad they cant live through 10+ pulls or solo NM's. Must suck getting all those VW/Legion invites though......

If people hate BST's prowess so much, why don't they just level it?

[Komori]

Why do people think that they're better in life because they have more virtual achievements? Poor children get no attention at home these days.

Beastmaster was underpowered for a long time pre-abyssea, those of us who chose to level it had to learn the intracacies of Charm and mob families. I agree, there are a lot of Perle BST's who burn the job to 99 just to do dyna. In level 75 endgame they can do pretty decently, as can a lot of other jobs. However even a well geared BST has issues with the endgame introduced since abyssea.
Pet's have already had a couple of nerfs in the last year or so, there was the pet PDT nerf last year, which in hindsight made sense, as being able to get 100% PDT on pets was probably a bit broken. We have also had the TH nerf not so long ago.
My BST doesn't get as much use as it used to, currently the main uses are in Salvage and in Dyna.
I believe that the newer stronger pets were introduced because Charm was made virtually useless in anything Abyssea and onwards.
All jobs can be played well, or not so, gear contributes to this a bit, but a lot of it is the player themselves.
Asking for a nerf, just because BST can now solo old content doesn't make much sense to me. I think things are OK as they are currently.

Yeah those negative commenters and especially the original poster are just butt hurt jealous because Beastmaster is efficient farmer in Dynamis and the job can solo older contents rather well and works nicely in abyssea as well with the right atmas.... LIKE EVERY OTHER SOLO jobs basically lol. I think SE did a decent job in balancing beast master and already swung a couple of nerf bats at the job in the past year or two after Abyssea. Kudos for them for buffing the heck of Dragoon and Puppetmaster, I just wish they would do the same to Summoner, the last pet based job that is sorely lacking in the update dept. His comments about effort yada yada blah blah blah on skills etc... well pretty much gazilions of abysea express train jobs are rather under leveled skill wise, under geared and pretty much need a lot of work. Not everyone take this game seriously, some people just play it casually for fun.

bottom line is BST is a skillless job, all jobs should require gear and skill, current BSTs need only call a pet and reward spam, 2 things which is pretty derp. All im asking for is for BST to be nerfed to the point where cant do much by slobbing it up with fail gear and just throw money at NMs and stuff. Every job should have to be worked on, if you are a BST99 and actually leveled it/geared it as your pride then my beefs not with you. Its the gimp bandwagon BSTs that need to be knocked down a few pegs.
