Allowing a pet to actually participate in a skill chain would be no greater an advantage then a summoner that can now keep their summons out without cost.

They can use their summons and maintain TP just as a bst can with their pet.

Summors do not have a time limit their summons can be out, if attacked a summoners summon attacks the aggressive mob, their summons cost the summoner mp which is restored after a few ticks, summoners summons can be used in skill chains and targeting weaknesses.

If it comes to balance the summoner is fully loaded while the bst just finally got a pet that's EM to their level after 6 years.

No hard feelings to Carrie but they nerfed bst and turned them into "Party" jobs when people got lazy and didn't want to solo. Now they are turning it back into some what of a soloable job again. Even though half the people playing it now level it through Abyssea and are clueless how to really play it lol
