Please don't nerf beastmaster

[Arthos]

It need to be nerfed into the ground to get rid of all these bandwagon bst. Sadly.

[Draylo-]

I agree

[Malthar]

Bazookatooth is still trying hard to persuade SE to not nerf BST. Anyone can see how OP it is atm, the nerf of ready range isn't enough, the timer needs the nerf.

Dear sweet, sweet Draylo. Go play with your blu. :-)

I must say, I do miss going in there and mixing it up with my pet, but the master is considerably weaker than the pet. What needs to be done is what the community suggested in the first place. If you're going to nerf the pet then buff the master, and for goodness sakes, give us a good shield that will replace the charmer's merlin.

I think that any job combination that becomes more powertful will always have the bandwagon effect.

That's not a reason to nerf it.

As the game continues to evolve, we should embrace and encourage positive changes across all jobs --not harbor resentment.

If WAR99/SMN49 could out DD a SAM, people would switch to that and the pitchforks would rise.

They should quadruple BP timers on summoner and only allow them when the summoner has their weapon drawn in melee range too. And WHM is OP healing from a safe distance. Let's make them melee too. All jobs should be front line. Doing stuff at a safe distance is OP. And SAM, NIN, DNC and thf need like a 10 second animation lock on every weapon skill. They shouldn't be able to solo skillchain. And lets make those rangers melee too. Doesn't seem fair that they can do just as much damage from the same distance as bst. Better fix that now before Draylo get's mad. While we're at it, BLU has too much AOE. Let's make all those spells conal like BST. Nah, that's still too OP. Let's increase the casting time to like 30 seconds...

You are right. It's more the dedication into a job anyway which makes or breakes your performance. Experience, gear and jobpoints makes every job strong. There's no reason to play a bandwagon anymore, but tell that people.

Looks like bst won't be complaining about accuracy being a problem any more. Unless the update has the typo instead of Grekumah. Sheesh -40% evasion? You could actually still hit with charmer's merlin.

The text within the Version Update notes was incorrect. I have edited the notes to reflect the correct information which you can find below.

• Beastmaster
  • The effects of Infrasonics used by the following familiars has undergone adjustments.

    Warlike Patrick / Audacious Anna / Lizard Familiar / Coldblood Como

    • Adjustments
      • Enemy evasion has been changed from -25% to -40.
      • Accuracy has been increased.
  • The effects of Hi-Freq Field used by the following familiars has undergone changes.
    Hurler Percival / Panzer Galahad / Beetle Familiar
    • Adjustments
      • Enemy evasion has been changed from -25% to -40.
      • Accuracy has been increased.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Since at this point I'm 99.9% this is really satire (because there is no way anyone can actually think that makes sense) and we all got taken by poe's law...


What they need to do is nerf blu...

[Ulth]

Yeah a lot of people seem to just not realize how freaking awesome blu is. The gifts and job points are making them even better. Probably because for every amazing blu who knows what they are doing there are 100 lol blus who make everyone else look bad. However it's not like they can nerf sword weaponskills because pld has enough trouble with dealing damage as it is.
