I find it ironic then that you play a job that is setup to play precisely how we used to be although you do have an endless supply of pets tied to an almost non-existent recast timer vs our call-pet timers and you can kite and run away letting your pet auto-attack while never establishing additional enmity yourself, when needed, not to mention your damage per second for a properly geared SMN matches and can surpass BST dps yet you keep advocating negativity toward BST.

Pot calling the kettle black.

BST is a ranged-dmg job, like SMN. We are not geared to be effective when our pets are effective, we have no business being near the mob when we're having our pets hit unless SE redesigns our gear to match this new expectation of BST contributing toward a fight rather than wasting everyone's time being an MP sink just to be engaged and add our sub-par melee dmg in, so we can be close enough to our pet's to contribute dmg.

I feel like no matter how many times we repeat ourselves, you're not going to understand why this isn't about us trying to get-one-over on the system, we have been working within the confines of the design of the system since day one - now that SE adjusts our entire gameplay, without adjusting our gear to match this new expectation, the job is supremely less effective and absolutely unwelcome by the people SE should be listening to, the people 'paying' to play BST for the last decade.
