BST nerf please

[Natenn]

Kinda unfair BST pets are mindlessly overpowered nowadays don't you agree? I mean you just be naked sit back and spam reward and solo grand wyrms w/o having to put effort into learning the job or actually spend time gearing it. Not saying make it to where BST use to be (useless at 75 just about) but you shouldn't be able to solo with a job 95% of the player base leeched up via FC partys and not put any time into learning or gearing it. Just a thought, its pretty disheartening seeing poorly geared or naked beastmasters being able to solo things like vrtra which is glitched as is since the undead vrtra summons will not attack the pets. DEVs should make it so BSTs have to work on learning the job and have to put time into gearing it.

Wah! BST can kill Easy Prey really well, Wah!

They'll be Over Powered when they can kill content higher than level 75, bar Abyssea, easily.

wow hateing on bst more? you realy need to get a life bst are solo players so get over it.

[Komori]

This is a broken record. It's been said time and time again that the pets have to be overpowered because it's a solo job. Do you make sure to invite a BST for all of your endgame events?

Are you always hard-pressed to ask one to join your Legion, your Voidwatch, your Neo-Nyzul and anything else? Even in some events where they dominate; the pets can handle alot but are not invincible if things go wrong.

You already leveled it to 99. If it's so overpowered get off your <Rear> and take advantage of it. Wouldn't that be the smart thing to do as opposed to asking for nerfs?

I don't like BST. I leveled it solo to 27 years back, I didn't like it. I soloed it to 40 a few months back, still didn't like it so I leached it. I don't like BST in the 90s, its lv96 for that reason and probably isn't going to 99 till I finish Maat's cap. Only thing I think needs nerfed for BST is its abilities in Dyna, for instance, 3~5 mobs should always = death, not = easy.

There are many very powerful jobs I don't or wouldn't enjoy, but I'm not complaining about their power.

While I have no illusions that I'm uber at it, I've put quite a bit of work into my BST. I've built decent Pet Defense, Call Beast, Reward, WS, and TP sets and maintain a good supply of various pets and healing items. I've merited it well including Axe Skill and Ruinator. So tell me, why should I suffer a nerf? Why should my effort be negated? Because I can solo a group of mobs? Well whoop de do. It's not like we're the only ones who can. Due to my own carelessness I've had to deal with groups of mobs on other jobs as well and come out alive, and there are people out there who can do that better than me.

Look if you feel like your favorite job is somehow inadequate then ask for some sort of buff. I'll be right there with you. You want to take away something of mine just to make yourself feel better? Well screw you, buddy.

I personally think they should give pets their TH back, I stopped doing dynamis because now BST just go in with either a THF friend or that friend plus another person and just monopolize the EP camps. If BST could solo anything they'd be doing the DC camps and not clog the EP camps with their party of friends. PUP has an easier time soloing DCs in dynamis than the BST do for that matter... Should we camp PUP? and btw, I've seen solo ninjas hold 3~6 EP mobs, and THF hold 3~5 monsters in the same camps and based on the skill of the DNC and gear they can hold up to 7, so the holding is not exclusive to BST, you just don't see PUPs doing it.

To say that is to say nerf all jobs. I can take on 5-6 mobs in dyna on PLD, NIN, THF,BLU, SAM even on WAR if I sub DNC. As Camiie said, if you feel intimidated by BST solo compared to your fav. job then instead of bashing BSTs and asking for Nerfs, ask for buffs on your own job or find a different job.

Well one could argue the same thing about Red Mage in the pre-75 days when people kept crying it was over powered and look at it now. I wish somebody gave this advice about Red Mage back then and maybe it would have the issues it has now.

My only issue with pet jobs like BST/SMN/PUP and other jobs like BLM is when selfish people are farming multiple mobs that I'm trying to gain experience from. I think there should be some sort of npc attack power spike after a certain number of mobs to discourage this behaviour myself, but I dont expect SE to have the balls to do anything of that nature.
