BST got Screwed again, thanks SE!

[Olor]

I notice the new skirmish weapons the staff has a base "Avatar: Magic Accuracy+20 "Magic Atk. Bonus"+100"

Whereas with the axe we will have to waste an augment slot in order to get anything at all for our pet.

Why is BST the redheaded stepchild? We've said over and over that our pet is nothing but a drag and needs to be massively buffed to be worthwhile. We've pointed out that we lose out on DD stats when we try to make our pet suck less. The devs said they would start adding more gear that didn't require us to gimp ourselves to help our pet suck less.

What part of that didn't the devs understand?

Thanks for nothing SE.

The devs listen, but they do not hear.
They recognize, but they do not see.
They sense, but they do not feel.
They savor, but they do not smell nor taste.
The devs understand, but they do not care.

I totally won 200k off a bet of "a Bst will complain about the update within 12 hours of the server going live." Thanks. :3

I look forward to the day when other pet jobs begin attacking Bst because they have a JP that gives 30% stacking haste to their pet. :P

On a ridiculously long timer. that makes our really expensive pet disappear. yay? We're the only job that has to buy our pets... and the only good JA we get eats them...

PS: that haste is useless since our pets still can't hit anything.

Meh pup already can get 43.75 outside of gear so they don't really have room to complain, smn don't even wear what pet haste gear they have because their BPs do 95% of their dmg, and wyverns spend all their time readying breath attacks

I'm not familiar with Pup, but how gimped would the master be if they capped Pet: Haste? Just as well, there was a dev post that said this JP stacked with gear haste, lets see...

And of course I can't find it. I really do hate these forum's search feature, never seem to be able to find a post I'm thinking of. -.- I believe it said it stacked with other forms of available haste, insinuating that it may be job ability haste, allowing you to cap while wearing less pet: haste gear, if Pup were to ever get it, at least.

Pet haste is basically on all the reforged pieces now so not really that gimped.

I did some testing on it and basically max from gear was 25% max (basically normal gear cap) from everything else was 43.75% which corresponds to the magic cap and those 2 did add together. Which is pretty much expected the only weird part being overdrive counting as magic as well limiting you to 68.75% haste.

Also you only need 2 wind maneuvers to cap if you are using both turbo chargers. Or you could cap with just TC2 with 3 maneuvers. And it's pretty dang fast especially if you have sharpshot frame and are using Drum Magazine. Your auto is constantly meleeing and/or shooting the animations literally never stop

Also I'd suspect (although it would be hard to prove right now) that the JP pet haste for bst would be magic as well. If only because awhile ago they said about raising caps to 30 eventually and ja haste caps at 25.

BUT YOU GOT 30% HA- hey, wait a minute... I'll not fall into your trap, Malithar!

Pet Attack Speed Increases attack speed of a called pet.
Increase pet attack speed by 1 percent.

That doesn't appear to be on an ability - but I was joking. There's some fundamental things that need fixing, but that is one of the better job points.

[Olor]

ooh new job point. I missed that. My bad.

I'd still rather have my base job fixed rather than having to spend 6 months doing nothing but EXP to get job points.

Not gonna complain about getting that job point though. I guess it gives me reason to exp... but after I get all that pet haste... what am I supposed to do with it? Still no events that need me on BST.
