    Again like I said next lvl square peg stuff. All jugs do is deal dmg which creates very little enmity at all. Seriously I seen jugs used 2-3 moves at the start of a fight and me eating food has pulled hate. Therefore all I have to do is get dmg anywhere near what they do and take advantage of the vastly superior dt and buffing capabilities of wyverns so they lose less than everyone else in range eating AoEs. It's still in the works but I have managed to get a wyvern at near capped attack speed while still maintaining way more dt than jugs can even get.

    Also no pup completely destroys bst on tanking

    Damage still creates a lot of enmity. Maybe not as much as it used to - but it still creates a lot. Especially when it's on the scale those insane Beast Master pets have who can wipe out a screen full of incredible tough monsters in a matter of seconds.

    So I'm not sure what jugs you have been using - but if they are doing such little damage a dragoon's wyvern can keep hate off of them I think it's safe to say that you are using the way wrong kind of jug.

    Wyverns do have good defense. But they don't generate enough enmity to tank unless you take off your weapon and punch the monster to death. I'm all for damage dealers learning how to control their enmity - but I draw the line when they are expected to remove their weapons.

    As far as this mythical puppet people keep talking about who supposedly destroys Beast Master pets - I'll believe it when I see it.
