Yeah this is like thief complaining why Dancer can do self skill chain and Red Mage complaining that Blue Mage is actually the real deal when it comes to melee mage job. Neither are valid argument since each jobs is just that, DIFFERENT. Or how White Mage can do a much better healing compared to Scholar and Red Mage. If you want to play a job where your pet is the main deal, you can be butt naked and still can do the job, play beast master, that is what the job designed for, to play as the master of a beast, using jug pet to take the brunt of the damage and doing pretty much the job. It is not perfect, and it is one dimensional but hey, it works for a lot of people. If you want the master to deal a lot of the damage then play Dragoon, if you want a more balanced pet jobs, there is Puppetmaster, and if you so inclined to play the bastard child of the pet jobs, then Summoner is for you.
You are all complaining that Beastmaster jug pet is over powered... if you take this one out of the equation then you have a gimped dragoon that is neither this or that, worse job than puppet master, and not even as useful as Summoner when it comes to buffing abilities. This is what the Beastmaster job is about, it is designed to be played this way, using jug pets. You should be grateful that SE will not let Beastmaster self skill chain with its jug pets like how Pup can do massive damage with a puppet who has unlimited MP and pretty much buff you into oblivion. You also should rejoice that they will not let pet to buff the entire party like how Summoner Avatar can do this at ease, even they can self skill chain with their avatars. Be happy that Beastmaster strength lies on the jug pet, and as usual a good player will make the master deal massive damage with perfect gears and weapon. At least a perfectly geared Warrior still triumph over Beastmaster when it comes to Axe damage. God forbid next you gonna start calling out for Puppetmaster nerf since that job right now after the updates are quite nifty as you can see with the recent discovery of pup sub... Yeah go figure!!
Would you rather have beast master able to charm mobs again?? Would you? And rule dynamis with charmed mob, and pretty much wreak havoc in abysea if they can charm. They are stuck with jug pets, forever.... and have to pay through the roof for the good jug pets and pet food.
