Beastmaster: Pet + Skillchain = Yes, Please!!

[Alukat]

due to the fact that bst pets are doing high dmg already, skillchain with pets would be too gamebreaking.

Step 1) Go outside abyssea
Step 2) Fight something that isn't EP. (dynamis/voidwatch especially.)
Step 3) You can cry now, it's okay, it's perfectly reasonable.

BST is only a hair's breadth above where it was at 75. Our new jugs have sub jobs. That is the only difference. With no atmas boosting pets to where they shoulda been all along, BST is a pretty bad DD. Jug pets didn't make up for the lack of job abilities/traits and mage sats. They REALLY don't make up for missing all the stuff every other job's gotten since 75. Atmas put everyone on equal footing, to the point that melee mages could compete with actual melees. With those gone, everything is identical to the game at 75.

Only other thing BST got was spur, which gets your pet more tp... for ws's that do pitiful damage... and you can't skill chain with. Skillchaining with pets would be the perfect first step.

due to the fact that i never liked abyssea i haven't been in there for months, but thx for the advice /sarcasm.

All other pets participate in skillchains.

Can you please allow it so that beastmasters can form skillchains with our pets? Our weaponskill are already sufficiently weaker than other DD's that this should balance quite nicely.

Interesting idea and I'm sure it's really not so much trouble to add, the system exists, but with different requirements: Chain Affinity/Azure Lore. I fully support this idea.

Well, even if they dont give us the ability to sc off pets maybe giving us a move similar to snarl which allows us to pull tp from our pet kinda like how we snarl hate to pet. that may be a little bit easier for the devs to integrate than them trying to figure out what pet moves to incorporate into said sc's. thus allowing us to sc a bit more frequently and with more regularity than trying to get lucky with reverse flourish and multi hit weapons and whatever other gear that folks may be stacking

that would be an awesome day for bst being able to Skillchain with our pets but mostly for jug pets cause charmed pets would be a scatter shot for abilities cause its random what abilities it'll use not like jug pets where you can pick which move it'll use and yes it'll be a lot of work but well worth it

This would be perfect for those Charges that we have to expend, if the devs would move Ready off of the charge timer and allow us to use pet TP more often. There would still be a limit due to the charges required, but it would make pet interaction a little more dynamic. BST as it is now does not get busy, it's just standing there and smashing things with axes while the pet tanks. Even MNK is busier than we are now, and their job used to entail watching tv while they auto-attack. It's even worse when we just stand there while pets do the work, then you're literally reduced to single button gameplay.
