SE decided we're magically supposed to be frontline jobs which is a dramatically different role. Had BST been designed as a front line job from the start then the suggestions Zeargi made may have been included as well. People want BSTs to accept we're frontline now, that change requires traits and gear be revised to transition our role.

SE community reps, what do the devs think about backing up this new concept of front line BST with allowing us to be useful at the same time our pets are with adjustments to our traits to support the forced transition from ranged jobs to frontline as well as adjustments to pet:gear so the stats are mutual so we're not useless when our pets are effective and vice versa.

I mean, if we're going to change BST then lets change it completely.
