[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Alhanelem]

Beast Master was insanely powerful with their super cricket out

Well, if they're insanely powerful with their super cricket whatever thingy, then why would they not adjust that instead of adjusting pet command range?

Your argument doesn't have anything to do with the change that was made, and the change that was made does nothing to address the problem you're alleging exists. Even if it is a problem (and I'm not conceding that it is), the change SE made does nothing to fix it.

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.

BST is barely more of a melee class than the other pet jobs. It gets some more heavy armor gear options (though most of those options don't help your pet), but it's still not super sturdy like a PLD or WAR. Still, from the screenshots ive seen people post, and from comments ive seen here and in game, the range was reduced to so short that you can easily be in melee range of the mob and not able to command your pet. If they want to make it so you can't be standing in absolute safety and play the job like SMN, well, I can sort of understand that (I don't agree but I understand), but the change was so drastic that you have to be litreally glued to your pet's behind in order to give it commands.

PUP generally melees with its pet and they weren't affected by this- another reason why the change makes no sense. This change might not be the end of the world, but it simply causes aggravation for no good reason. JP players have already testified they can still kick butt with BST, so obviously the change didn't achieve it's intended purpose.
