[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Jile]

I understand what you are saying. But t I have seen Beast Master pets out-survive my Paladin in full - damage sets while doing probably 100 times more damage than I would ever be capable of.

So it's just not realistic to imply all a Samurai would have to do is slap on a -DT set and he would instantly have the survivability that a Beast Master does.. I just don't see that happening. This isn't even to mention that equipping a full -DT set would significantly lower the damage output of the Melee DD anyway.

I personally don't mind so much the damage of the Beast Master. It's very high - perhaps overpowered - but I wouldn't be inclined to call for a nerf. It's only when you take into account this kind of damage combined is with so much survivability that I believe it rises to level of needing to be nerfed. So take my comments in that context.

I agree with you about cheap crappy AOE mechanics. That's been a failing of this game since the beginning - and is probably one of the big reasons it never reached the pinnacle of MMO success that I believe this game could have.

BST do not gear for themselves because that's not how SE designed our gear. Unless we want jugs that can't hit, can't hit and do damage, can't take a hit, we have to take ourselves out of the picture completely.

Pet can hit, do decent dmg, take a hit.

Or.

We can hit, can do ok dmg, can take a hit.

Both do not occur at the same time on relevant content.

That is how SE designed BST.

I appreciate that any job capable of burst dmg will take attention of the community and devs. They didn't need to castrate BST in the process of balance.

--------

All I'm asking SE to do is undo the distance Nerf, in exchange for an aoe-pet tp move dmg decrease.

I'm not excited to lose dmg but I'd much prefer a reasonable nerf on pet aoe dmg than giving up on the one job out of 22 lvl99's I love, being removed from relevant content.
