Please don't nerf beastmaster

Stop lying, SE already knows the situation man.

Bring it! I challenge you!

Find the best geared bst you know and I will beat it with my nin.

Question: Is the debate really about BSTs out-damaging similarly geared melee DDs? Or is the issue that BST can provide multiple types of damage (even skillchaining) much more safely and requiring less continuous support and healing?

[machini]

Yeah, we're all BST. That's why a DNC with BST at level 15 is in here arguing that BST doesn't need to be nerfed, you just suck, and won't get better if your first instinct on someone doing better than you is to tear them down instead of build yourself up.

[machini]

Dude, just stop you are trying way too hard atm. Escha and Vagary aren't trash content and you can see the most vocal BST's doing that with ease and spamming 7~10k+ ws every 10 seconds. Anyone with a brain can see that no other DD job is going to keep up with that, especially under a situation where the NM tosses out debuffs (which is quite often.)

I can spam 7 to 10k WSes often enough to consistently self chain. I do more damage than a BST, especially when I'm as buffed as they are for the content they do. The fact of the matter is that you are an ignorant, rude person who takes delight in other people's fun being ruined for no reason other than you don't like that their big numbers are bigger than your big numbers, or that a job excelling at what it was designed to excel at.

Oh no 42-60k dmg in just a minute and vagary!!! How could any DD hope to ever deal that incredible amount dmg... oh wait.



Seriously if you think 1k dps is huge in this day and age I don't know what to tell you other than git gud and stop trying to solo with trusts

[dasva]

First, lol at you telling me to "git gud". Second, SE already knows whats up. I'm gonna pass along here, the work is done. BST already getting a nerf, and more to come.

Was it as funny as I found 700-1k dps being something no other DD can obtain? Because I'm still laughing my about that one and I'm sure anyone who takes DDing seriously is as well. And that nerf is really just fixing something they didn't intend. They wanted jugs to skillchain with players or other pets easily do with themselves over and over again. But keep telling yourself that bst is so OP and SE recognizes this despite saying they just want to deal with the skillchain/MB option

[scaevola]

Um no it isn't. Read up a little or do it a bit more because you are clearly a little low on what is what in the system. Wrong augments refer to getting ones not associated with those stones. For example getting a pet augment with a tip stone. It's fairly common with nq stones and I've yet to see it with a +2.

Oh, that's what you meant. I haven't really experienced that augmenting sets for jobs I don't care about with NQs, but anecdotez.

Oh no 42-60k dmg in just a minute and vagary!!! How could any DD hope to ever deal that incredible amount dmg... oh wait.

I mean, yeah, I definitely think magic bursts are way more broken than BST right now* but that seems to be what The People want and we've all sort of abandoned the lie that we ever wanted this game to be challenging, so if giving me 800k for a snowdim +2 is making people feel skilled, whatever.






*I don't even care if BST gets nerfed or not, really; I'm just debating this delusion that a BST needs to spend anywhere close to 100 million gil to get to the point that people are complaining about, like an extra 5 attack per augment slot is making the heavens open wide
