[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Jile]

Think of new strategies.

Honestly, this Nerf is so powerful and so very broken right now, BST isn't playable. No strategies work when your core functions are broken beyond usability.

The Nerf will be removed or BST will no longer be played by anyone for any serious purpose.

SE messed up bad.

Seriously. Been playing BST for years and I didn't even get to go out on harder content because I am a casual player and I didn't feel geared enough. I was super excited that I might have a chance to play endgame on my favourite job before the end of the game. That hope was shattered by this update.

And yeah, before people come along to slag me, sure I am not the greatest player out there, maybe some superhero with perfect augments and every bit of BST gear out there can still do some endgame now, but for regular BST there will be no slots once again.

I agree to this. I'm no BST myself but I hate to see BSTs trying to get their pet moves in real close and then die from dangerous mob moves because of the nerfs then waiting for Recast to call another pet.

No, it is playable. Just not in the way YOU want it to be.

It's playable, but it's BAD and It's not the way ANYONE wants to play it.

[Alhanelem]

It doesn't really sound like the way anyone wants it to be, not just him.

[Jile]

No, it is playable. Just not in the way YOU want it to be.

Can I draw out a weapon, yes.

Can I send a pet to attack, yes.

Can I use pet ready moves, occasionally when the positioning is right, yep.

If that is the extent of your definition then yes BST can 'play'.

Now, if you mean does the job work effectively - For the love of all things, no, not even remotely.

If BRD had a 2 yalm radius for songs, they could still play. Would they be effective, heck no.

Lets stop cutting hairs here. BST is severely, critically, undeniably broken with this nerf. It needs undone.

I am no BST, I've been trying to perfect my BLM for almost all of 2015. I believe that you and everybody else that wants the BST nerf reversed, should vote for it with your purse.... Hopefully, if enough people cancel their subscriptions, SE should see the light.

While money does talk in most cases, I don't think that kind of extreme should need to be taken. All the jobs have gear that can be augmented, which is what I'm think you're getting at with trying to make the Perfect BLM. The Problem with DD classes vs Pet Classes, there are no augments that are harmonious for Both Pet and Master, which has been said quite a bit in this post. You have to sacrifice one or the other. I can't have a -DT set up while I have a Pet -DT set that needs to used too. I can let my pet take the brunt and hope for the best with Call Beast, Reward, or Bestial Loyalty... or Take the Hit myself and pray I don't die. It's all about give and take, I don't mind getting dirty if the field is leveled, but it's not. People don't complain about COR or RNGs having to keep their distance, because that's how the job is meant to be played, but SAMs that have a C ranking in Archery, and can wear heavy armor aren't slapped on the wrist for playing at a distance when the have loads of Job Abilities/Traits that turn them into TP Factories. Yet Jobs like THF which has a C in Marksmanship and wear's Medium Armor can't have the same option? If they want people to play a certain way, they need to give the proper means to do so. And quit saying it's about 'balance' when things aren't even even to begin with. WAR is by all means a Tanking class, but you won't find anyone that tanks anything Endgame as a WAR. Because PLD has it beat hands down, yet no one complains about that? And what about NIN being removed pretty much as a Tank? I don't see too often RUNs tanking in the Endgame either. People might go /NIN, /WAR, or /RUN... But PLD is still the apex of Tanking because of the Job Abilities and Gear that it gets to control and mitigate damage. Give the other jobs something to work with, then we'll talk in earnest, but until that time... This change is unfair, and 'unbalanced'.

Seriously. If they let all my gear stats apply to my pet, allowed my pet to be hit with all AOE buffs - allowed my pet to be targeted with single target buffs and heals - I wouldn't be complaining about the distance nerf. Taking away the only good part of the job was BS.
