[dev1289] Job Adjustments

[Dale]

Go hop on Samurai or BLM and try fighting an Escha Ra'Aun tier 2-3 NM with just a BST pet as tank. We'll all wait with bated breath for the screen shots of your (sure to be) incredibly successful attempts.

Here's a quote from the guy who wrote that pup tanking guide to mull over while you do that. "The methods I am talking about are for people who have extreme tanking needs. I.E. you have REALLY good DDs. I have literally the best Beastmasters in the game in my LS, so I've had to find and adopt better ways to manage enmity. "

Good luck with your BST tank.

As I've said, I've worked with Beast Master pets as tanks against all kinds of Notorious Monsters and battlefield bosses. They are quite impressive in that role and make excellent offensive tanks. They have a combination of both offense and defense that is unrivaled in my opinion.

Perhaps these samurai and black mage you mention just need to work on how to manage their threat a little better. Because they don't sound like very good DDs to me if they are incapable of working with a Beast Master pet/tank.

In any case: you are doing what is typical in these forums. You try to place every topic in the context of the extreme - as if the fact their pets can't tank some extremely difficult tier 3 NM that would probably take an army of support and a exceptionally well-geared Paladin to successfully tank anyway. Sorry but that doesn't mean they can't make good tanks.

Everyone who plays BST is laughing at this comment right now because they know that you have never done it. Congratulations on jumping the shark my friend.

From your original hyperbole on bst pets that started all this:

...while being able to tank some of the strongest notorious monsters in the game...

The problem with your post is I have done it. And done it many times.

It was a Beast Master pet who tanked titan for me so I could get my club if you want a specific example - one of many I could list you.

But you can continue to live in this delusion that Beast Master pets can't tank if you want. Because that's exactly what it is - a delusion. A complete fiction you are trying to pass off as realty because you don't want to admit Beast Masters needed to be nerfed. In the words of Nicholson "Sell crazy somewhere else..."

And yes, I said some of the strongest... I never said the strongest now did I?

I would hardly qualify that as hyperbole.

And by tanked it, you mean soloed it while you did nothing...

NO that is not what I mean. I was fighting, healing, and everything else my character was capable of.

But obviously you was there and know what I was doing better than me apparently...

As I say, you are not living in the reality if you don't think Beast Master pets can tank. They can - and are quite good at it.

Well... I know how emnity works and all signs point to ... It didn't happen.

Except that it did happen. So you obviously don't know how enmity works as well as you think you do.

That or have just never seen what a Beast Master is capable of in the right hands. Because your comments demonstrate an incredible lack of knowledge in what they are capable of.

By the way, what is this? Your forum character? A level 1 character on a different server?

Why don't you post with your main character?
