[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Dale]

I'm speaking in general terms about content across the entirety of the game over the years, not just what people do this very moment. Also, the valoredge puppet properly configured can actually tank a lot of stuff (having 100 or 1200 JP makes it really effective as well). BST might be the best at it, but the other pet jobs have kited or tanked all kinds of NMs and content throughout FFXI's history. Have you never heard of summoner burns? When WoE was new (and pretty much even to this day), many of the first clears were all or mostly summoners throwing pets at it- Although summons won't survive as long as BST pets, they also can be resummoned quickly and immediately. I've pet tanked a variety of NMs over the years on SMN. It's not a new concept and it's not exclusive to BST.

Enmity can be managed on the other pet jobs, so I'm not even considering that a factor in this.

Most of your post is smoke and mirrors.

I never said pet tanking is a new concept. I never said other pet jobs have never kited or tanked NMs through-out FF XI's history.

You made the claim that all other pet jobs were capable of doing what Beast Masters can. That's just not the case. Nothing in your post has convinced me otherwise. You even seem to admit the Beast Master is the best at it (which was my point). So to be honest with you I'm not even sure what it is we are debating at this point.
