[dev1135] Beastmaster 2-Hour Ability Comments After Testing.

[Vandheer]

Your very persistent Inhako but I do thank you for helping this thread get more traction. That being said your missing the point we are making.

Everyone is ranting about a 5 minute recast timer. In case your a BST and your recast timer is at 5 minutes your just a lousy one. I don't know any BST that would need to cast a pet - use the new 2h - and have to wait.
If you do it that way your just the worst BST on your server!

For starters, I actually do agree with you here. If you call your pet and use this new your 2-hour you would be a challenged Beastmaster. However none of us have stated we would use it in this way. In fact in my first reply to you I gave you a detailed scenario of when this might be useful that didn't include any of this. Like Calamity said if you force yourself to use this 2-hour then that seems counter productive.

I don't know what rants about the Call Beast recast timer you are talking about. We have not complained about the recast timer at all... Perhaps reread the thread?

The situation this 2h comes in handy is when you can't prevent you or your pet get beaten.
Regardless the RR-effect this 2h will fill your HP bar and you can call a new pet or charm just another one - that mean yo u have to get your ass out of abyssea and other restricted areas.

When a Beastmaster knows their pets will die we have something called Run Wild. Its a very niche ability that a Beastmaster may use in a situation where they know their pet will die. It kills off our pets 5 minutes after its use but gives Regen and various other buffs to our pet that should buy the Beastmaster time to react to the situation accordingly. This ability is on a 15 minute recast timer which is more reasonable then a 2-hour recast timer. Even though Run Wild is incredibly niche it at least stays in the idea of Beastmaster more so then Beastmasters "eating" their pets as a last resort.

Sure but you need to make a move.
All I read is that you don't like the 2h cause it's not game breaking.

If all you have read is that "we don't like the 2-hour because its not game breaking" I further suggest you reread the past comments in this thread more carefully. Many of us have also stated that this ability lacks game flavor as much as it isn't useful (though I have not brought it up in this thread personally yet i have in others). When have you seen any Beastmaster "eat" there own pets?

I pointed out where it's stength lies within. And I also pointed on your weak argumentation.
All in all it's a well balanced 2h. Now SE has to make sure it will work as intended and everything is fine.

I fail to see the strength that lies within this 2-hour that you have apparently pointed out to us. I'm afraid all you have pointed out Ihnako is the invalidity in your own argument when you suggest for us Beastmasters to charm a new pet after we eat our pets. Charm can't be used in much of the new content with the acception of some cases were we can Charm a Too Week monster. In addition even if we were to Charm Snarl does not work on charmed pets so if you did anything to take damage enough to actually use the Beastmaster 2-hour I recon you would have hate and now a useless Charmed pet if you somehow manage to find one in content were this 2-hour is remotely helpful.

Yes we can Call Beast instead of Charm but if your putting yourself in a scenario where you need to fully heal yourself at the cost of your pet your doing something wrong and we loop back to the question "When would this 2-hour actually be helpful?".

In addition you have yet to explain why it is a well balanced 2-hour on par with the majority of other 2-hours.

Haha... I like this forum and those BST. It's obvious they (that includes you too) are selfcentered, nonrealistic, associal individuals that screm that SE will throw them a cookie and ony them. I assume you will answer with a rant but that's something every idiot will do. ;p

It's at this point you have lost what little logic you had in whatever point you were trying to make. In result of this you turn to criticism. The Beastmasters that have posted in this thread are none of the above that you mention. All of them have submitted reasonable and logical feedback to help SE fix this 2-hour.
