Can we please assess Beastmaster?

[Gwydion]

It is very difficult to play and enjoy Beastmaster currently.

Can we see some changes to Charm, Tame and Group 1/2 Merits? Simply adding pets (if this ever happens again) is only a band-aid. Beastmasters must be able to buff the party if they're going to stay competitive with WAR/SAM/DRG/etc (other front-line DDs).

Also Rage's DEF penalty is too high! This makes beastmasters too difficult to heal for many average healers. This is one of many reasons that Beastmaster is continuously excluded from content.

Please help us out, SE!
