It's obvious there is a disconnect between the people who presume BST is like any other DD and those who play BST.

Bottom line, presently there isn't a gear set where BST can have their pet doing proper damage and the same for themselves.

Regardless of this update, BST is not a frontline job.

Either our pet wiffs or we do.

BST do not belong anywhere near the frontline. If their pets are expected to be effective the master will be ineffective.

Pick one.
