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

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

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.

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.

Geeze all you do is complain Olor, do you even enjoy playing this game?

[Malthar]

He would actually enjoy it more if SE would actually do what they promised to improve bst. How are you enjoying your erratic flutter? :-)

[Olor]

Geeze all you do is complain Olor, do you even enjoy playing this game?

Yeah, I do. I'd enjoy it more if it was more balanced and I could play the jobs I like for something more than soloing job points painfully, however.

I also complement the devs when they make a good change... but what the heck do you think this forum is for? Patting people on the back is one post. Arguing for fixes takes a lot more.

Show me your last post that was nothing but sunshine and roses? Anyway, like I said, not sure what else you're supposed to do here other than say "hey this is not working" or "hey, I'd like it if I could play the jobs I like once in awhile."

Look what happened when BLUs spoke up - they got changes. Sorry but saying nothing gets you nothing. Worse, it makes the devs think they are somehow on the right track. They promised to stop making us sacrifice master DPS stats for pet DPS stats...

And worse... from what I've seen the pet augments are terrible for BST. Pet MDT +1? Really? Am I supposed to spend hours farming for that?
