BST nerf please

[Aldersyde]

In basics yes. As I said a BST needs no skilling and needs no gearing to perform where as SMN, PUP, both do. SMN without skilling summoning magic, avatars, and the gear for it is not very good. PUP without attachments, frames, and gear, is not very good. BST naked using a jug pet, is decent and easily kept up with reward/dawns, it starts strong, but can get stronger. Part of what your getting wrong is that its not necessarily about your BST being geared, its about BSTs who arnt geared. A BST poorly geared performing well, thats what this is about, if your well geared good, I would think it would be equally insulting to you that someone naked can still perform on your job decently.

Somehow, even if there was a concession that bst pets should be affected by some kind of skill level, I still don't think it would satisfy people calling for a bst nerf. The whole argument is smoke. What it really boils down to is that people are still pissed that bst is one of the most efficient jobs in dynamis, especially if you don't want to share drops. People have to accept that some jobs do certain events better than others and move on; hell I have to every time I have to change jobs to do a party-oriented event because bst is usually just the last, last resort when a final slot needs to be filled.

How would they even implement some kind of skill system anyway? When call beast is used on its five minute timer? On ready moves which have a charge system AND a TP requirement? Melee hits? When pets evade hits? What about people who already have bst at 99? Do they suddenly have to skill-up their pet abilities? How do you make new bsts "earn" their pets without hurting people who have played bst for years? Sorry, that's a silly question...because the point is to hurt the job itself.

What will be the next excuse for a nerf when people skill up their pets and other people are still pissed that bsts are still one of the best currency farming jobs? And don't go saying it isn't about dynamis, because it is. Thumping level 75 content? Who cares? Vrtra? No one did Vrtra at 75. Ditto for Jorm. Tiamat is still botted, so I say if someone can get a claim on her, they can kill it any damn way they please. I see way more thfs and dncs soloing sky triggers than I see bst. Limbus? Hell, why not? It's not like many people do limbus at all, even with the Neo-bosses. Empty nearly every time I check the zones. Bst can do behemoth ksnm. Can't do wyrm or tortoise. If I left out anything, it's because it's totally irrelevant. So there you have it. Bst has an advantage over other jobs in that it can solo behemoth and run rampant in dynamis. I can't see people really having their panties in a bunch over just the behemoth, so it has to boil down to dynamis.

Your beef is really with the dynamis proc system. Stop calling for job nerfs.
