[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[kylani]

The problem with Rudra's Storm was letting people unlock the Empyrean WSes for use on any weapon. Had that not happened, we would not have had enough people making big, but infrequent, numbers to piss off enough people who actually do more damage but get jealous of big numbers to be as vocal as they were to get it nerfed.

The problem is people who care more about what other jobs can do than enjoying the game.

This. Seriously.

If people have a problem and they don't like the range for BST in this September 15, 2015 update. Than you be please to know that you must mention the name Akihiro Matsui in your post comment because he is the whole reason why this happen. Akihiro Matsui was the same person who nerf Rudra's storm and the skill chain properties. At least he let everyone know ahead of time on what he was doing. When he lower the BST range he said Nothing! nothing at all. He has never play BST because if he did than he knows it doesn't make sense for a BST to be close NM keeping pet alive as well as master alive and who in the fight mind would want to melee along with PET which means feeding NM more TP for dangerous situation "No thank you". Trust are unreliable at this point since they can only be summon once in some content.

Please everyone support BST they need everyone help right now even if you hate it. Try to understand that BST is a solo job and they exist for a very long long time in game. Please do not let the Legend of BST solo for 12 years die out now because FFXI will never make sense again. Akihiro Matsui doesn't know so if we all support we might get range back for bst. The core the problem in FFXI is always been the NM and many NM need adjustment so other job can have a chance.

If Akihiro Matsui decide to go forward with this melee range for BST than he should allow the pet augmented item to work for master as well. So I am praying and hoping he change his mind. :/

Actually they told Japanese players well in advance but never translated it until much later. JP players complaining about BST is why it was nerfed. Pretty much everything the devs tell us over here is translated from JP forums. They don't listen to us.

Not entirely true, as there are some topics (Mostly the "We don't have any plans" ones) where we get a response that weren't brought up on the JP side.

No it's not. You people want to just stand on the sidelines with your pet doing all the work. Wake up, SE doesn't want you to play that way. SE wants you to stand right next to your pet and fight along side it. You only consider it broken because you don't want to play it the way SE intends for you to play it. Get over it.

A BLM could not play the job the way SE intends for it to be played and melee without casting a single nuke. Is his DPS going to take a hit... you betcha. Play BST the way SE intends for you to play it and stop whining.

I am not going to stand in front of the mob, BST is not a TANK. We also have no control over where our pet will engage. 5 yalms is too close. End of discussion.

That is not cool at all. In fact here in Odin i know a really good player who use a lot of BST battle strategy and they are JP. Lots of JP use BST battle strategy during JP hour and there is nothing wrong with it. For them to not translate for the NA player is so wrong in many ways. They also post it on update but they didn't say how much the range was reduce either. It was all blank until you log on and play BST than you be OMG!!!

So we all need to stick around this forum and support BST to the end. =)

Yeah I heard that a lot from Grekumuh. :/

What do we have here:

Kainstryder posted in regards to the new unity behemoth:


So despite that huge aoe damage from this level 135 NM, they still killed it while staying in range.

So it's not that BST is broken, you complainers are just bad players.

Illogical assumption from a lack of information.

It could be a stretch to say it makes the job "unplayable" but it doesn't mean that players aren't experiencing major frustration and inconvenience for no good reason. The change was unnecessary and only serves to tick people off.

Beast Master was insanely powerful with their super cricket out. I was watching them slaughter normal difficulty avatars faster than a full group and clearing an entire screen full of incredibly toughs in a matter of seconds. So unless they have decreased the power of your pets since I've been away: something did need to happen. They were over-powered. There is just no denying that. Having that kind of damage coupled with the survivability of your pet while being able to stand safely out of the range of area attacks was God-mode. That's why everyone and their mother started leveling a beast master.

Also: every other melee dps on this game faces the dilemma of being killed by area attacks. This is nothing new: so it seems to me from reading this that Beast Master is just having to deal with the same crap every other melee class on this game has to.

I don't play Beast Master. Maybe the range is too small. I'm not saying it isn't. But some changes were necessary.
