I like the concept but not necessarily the current suggestions. I think the choice between 2 prestige paths, each with its own exclusive abilities, fits nicely into any endgame. But it would require a lot of work to properly define each path and balance them correctly. If improperly balanced, it could lead to one path being exclusively chosen or worse it could lead to several jobs being exiled like lepers. Not to mention duty over imagination. For instance what if mystic knight has tons of really fun stuff for a player but they are treated like lepers for choosing the path because Time mage gives rdm irreplacable value to a linkshell. But anyway i agree with the concept, it just needs to be devotedly executed.

Also, Bst shouldnt ever be able to charm NMs. Things can't respawn while we have them charmed. And we don't need anymore reasons for people to hate us.

Try this instead

Beastsoul: Master Merges into charm/called pet leaving pet toon. Become 1 character take the most beneficial of all character parmeters between the pet and master. Gain all pets abilites as well as retain your own. Merge ends upon death or duration of charm/call beast.

Beast Lord: Bonuses from masters gear transfers to pet. Pet may gain the benefit and be targeted by masters Spells and abilities, but not anyone else as per normal.





Also side note, A Warrior bard is called a "Skald" not a dirge. A Dirge is a song played at a funeral and is used mostly to refer to a bard with some power over the Necromantic arts.
