You sure BST didn't change? Didn't SE change the way Ready worked? What about Run Wild, that's fairly recent isn't it? Did BST always have pets that did strong magical AoE attacks or a powerful evasion down effect? Stout Servant didn't exist at the 75 cap. Isn't Unleash super powerful?

Look, I obviously am no BST expert but they've been steadily building BST up for awhile including some radical improvements that make the job very powerful. The job has evolved quite a bit without grabbing the limelight until recently. Nobody cared when you were just attacking with CC but the pets have gotten much stronger and varied.

With that said, blaming the content is reasonable too because it's made BST look much more attractive compared to melee jobs.
