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

[Vandheer]

After giving this some thought heres what I've come up with to re-address this new 2-hour.

With Familiar being Pet Offensive we could do Master Offensive? Perhaps Beastmaster utilizing a Killer Traits and understanding of Mobs to put the monster in a weakened state granting "Killer Mob Type" to everyone fighting the mob, preferably pets would be included. This would mean everyone attacking the mob has a good chance to intimidate the mob and is given a damage boost and damage reduction similar to how Ferine Gausape +2 gives to Beastmaster. The amount of Killer granted would be would add on to whatever amount of Killer Traits people already have to encourage using alongside Circle Effects and encourage use of different pets to line up the Killer Traits to utilizie Killer Instinct. While under the influence of this 2-hour the cap for Killer trait and buffs received from killer traits should be raised.

This is a rough idea of course and is up for tweaking so it isn't to OP but lets remember that this is a 2-hour were talking about. As always remember to leave a like if you like my line of thinking and in this case feel free to give your spin of my suggested new 2-hour or your idea of what Beastmasters new 2-hour should be.

With Familiar being Pet Offensive ...

You lost me right about here.

You lost me...

I know its a little weird however its not my logic.

The idea is that Familiar will increase the pet’s offensive capabilities, while the new 2-hour ability will enhance the master’s defensive capability.

Perhaps its a typo on Camates part? I'm not sure... nor am I sure about how Familiar raises the pets offensive capabilities outside of Monster Trousers +2 giving 10% haste to our pet. However I also stated all this in my previous post (post #105). ^^

I ran a few tests after that post trying to see if it improved pet attack, but my results showed no improvement. Aside from the haste on trousers +2; I see no offensive improvement from familiar.

Thank you for doing testing on this Xilk. I went and searched the Japanese forums for their Japanese version of Camates post and translated it to find that Camate didn't translate wrong. Camate clearly says offense while from the translator Oriole specifies attack. How Familiar does it is beyond me and I will try to do some testing myself to see if I can figure it out.

Heres both copies of text for anyone else interested.

  We will be keeping the HP recovery and status ailment recovery as is, but we will be changing the reraise effect to a stoneskin effect. The strength of the stoneskin effect will vary depending on the pet. The idea is that Familiar will increase the pet’s offensive capabilities, while the new 2-hour ability will enhance the master’s defensive capability.

獣使い

HP回復、状態異常回復はそのままで、リレイズの効果→ストンスキンに変更します。
ストンスキンの効果量は呼び出したペットにより変化します。
獣使いの2Hアビリティは、使い魔がペットの攻撃面の底上げなのに対し、マスターの防御面を大幅に引き上げるという方向性で考えています。

I guess were being lied to... Again.

The Devs are nothing if not consistent!

[Glamdring]

Do they really not understand that you wouldn't need stoneskin if you hadn't just one shotted your pet?

methinks the devs got some spoiled fish in their sushi and came up with the new 2 hour while they were halucinating during the dehydration caused by explosive diarrhea Frank, so no, they probably DON'T get it...

Tip, cook the damn fish, it kills the various bad stuff that grows in it.

I assume they're adding bst relic +2 legs which add the 10% haste to the 2hr. I suppose it counts, but it's pretty sketchy to call it an offensive 2hr considering a piece of gear is required to make it offensive.

[Xilk]

Familiar was more of a 2 hour when it meant we could keep an IT pet.

There were actually fights where this was awesomely useful that is. you can still do it... but there is nothing in the game anymore where its worthwhile..

also, I would say familiar is both offense and defense. you get haste for offense now, and hp for defense.
