Now, let's say this naked sam suddenly geared up, added ws gear and a tp set, this same sam who was performing "decently" before is suddenly a powerful force. The same can be said for bst. A well geared bst should be able to to far more damage than the pet he commands. Any bst who is getting the majority of his DD out of his pet is no bst at all. I for one am not insulted by the bandwagon bsts, I barely acknowledge them at all. They will never ever be able to come close to the power of a real bst without real effort.
And everyone keeps using dynamis as an example of how overpowered bst is. Last I checked, dynamis isn't hard. Not at all. Bst can hold 6 mobs at once? Well hey, I've seen plds and thfs and dncs and nins and even a mnk every now and then, do the exact same thing. So clearly they're overpowered right?
