Why BST needs have its capabilities reduced

[Ataraxia]

This is why BST needs to be nerfed.

Seriously! what a really bad taru to speak like that.
Did you know that those Ark Angel fight are unique because those 3 high tier mission are all slashing damage type.
Not all Pet can be use to solo this fight because it's very difficult to do so even in normal mode if your not well gear and using the correct pet. The main Pet that was use in those fight is Swooping Zhivago bird that pet have -50% slashing damage. If SE feel that it's over power to have such a pet than nerf the PET not the BST. However, the downside to using those pet is the slow kill rate and probably require the use of Dawn Mulsum those item are costly.

First of all are you 100% sure it was SOLO and not use TRUST when double trust campaign is up? because that is not solo when using a trust. In fact, many people are using trust to help them beat normal high tier mission and others mini event.

Don't dismiss my post because you didn't bother to go watch the videos. He wasn't using trusts. And yes BST needs to be nerfed. The best geared BST pet should not be able to outperform the best geared PLD and best geared SAM.... AT THE SAME TIME.

They simply do not out-perform either except in a few fights at best, and before you start I have seen the videos.

Go do a search on Youtube for the following:

AA GK Very Difficult BST Solo
AA MR Very Difficult BST Solo
AA HM Very Difficult BST Solo

I have a better idea. Why don't YOU go search on Youtube for those search terms, then provide us links or at the very least URLs to point them out. When you want to convince someone of something, you don't say "There is evidence out there that I feel supports my idea. Go find it for yourself.".

Now go do a youtube search for FFXI scholar AA solo or FFXI scholar Delve solo, realize that your logic is broken and then find some other way to harass people who like to play beast master.

inb4 this turns out to be the alt account of some guy who got banned for harassing people on previous nerf bst threads.

No, it's a real account. I know Dai from Leviathan and he should know better. :-D
Bad Dai.

Um weren't those all done before they fixed spur jps and most of them coming pretty close on time? The loss of 30% dmg half the time had a huge effect on the ability to solo things in time

They were done after the spur & distance nerfs!

It just can't be considered whats typically possible on BST. You did a great job, it's just you have the best chance of doing so with the best possible gear and augments being shifted through every possible configuration as the situation changes and people are presuming a spark geared BST without macro'd gear can do the same when it's not remotely possible for them.

It's also worth noting that those things can be soloed on N by just about any job without using 1hrs and spending $200k+ on Dawn Mulsums. Even with the increased drop rates from doing them on D or VD, it's probably still easier to get the gear by soloing a bunch of N fights on THF instead of doing D once per hour on BST.
