100% PDT for PET is plain BS.

[Ilax]

SE have to fix that exploit, watching a BST 60 min long solo Hedjedjet is dumb, so is watching a PUP pet solo dargua for 60 min long as well.

Major mistake from SE allowing PET to have more then 50% PDT....

Do you think you're a good person with so much hatred in your heart for a certain group of people? Shameful.....just shameful....

Bad timing for this thread too, with all the PUPs totally ticked off and all. It's like kicking us while we're down.

I'm seeing frustration more than anger. With Abyssea being a time-sensitive environment, bumping into someone basically tickling a mob to death is not a good thing, be it a pet job, some alliance zombie'ing, or anything that can attack from range using pinning. As is, other invlunerabilities like Avatars or BRD's bugged carols have been fixed, and actual player damage reduction is capped outside of limited use meds or 2 hours. As much as these jobs may be reveling in the perks of that power, it is an exploit. And while I can empathize with those who had worked to build their -PDT sets for this purpose, this is one of those "Too good to be true!" things.

What do they call it? Boring the mob to death?

You have to be honest, -100pdt is pretty stupid.

Not really, if you understood just what it takes to get that 100%. And while I'm not a BST 90 with 100% PDT pet nor will I be anytime soon if ever, I also have any of a dozen jobs welcomed in Abyssea. I really do not shed a tear for anyone hurt emotionally by this. Go BST. You damn well deserve it.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. BST, PUP and, to some degree, SMN, are rarely welcomed to Abyssea except to solo (and that's just welcoming themselves), never to parties that require procs, and so people who enjoy playing them and not, say, BLM, WHM, BLU, BRD, WAR, MNK or NIN, should rightly be able to get something on them (and so should other jobs that commonly get looked over). The fact that jobs regularly invited to proc groups have to wait for some poor BST, SMN or any other rarely invited job to finish slowly killing a monster are not high on my sympathy list; they already get to blaze through killing and getting their stuff when the unfortunate job isn't there, and that's the VAST majority of the time (not to mention that they can proc and actually get stuff at a reasonable speed), and they can actually come on a job they LIKE to play.

If you want the BST to get its butt out of your way, maybe you should convince SE to encourage people to actually invite it so people who enjoy playing BST can actually do so and not have to deal with both being rejected and the demands that it cease doing the only things it actually can. That way EVERYONE can have some fun and get stuff instead of just people who like a few select jobs.

Well, over 20% haste is stupid. SE just loves giving people game breaking options.

Considering the lack of invites I ever got as a BST except by other BSTs pre-abyessa I'm personally all for it. Truthfully tho it's pretty ballin you can reach that cap.

Nope, but I'm sure players want it only for themselves. I've literally seen a bunny tank the living fu- out of every iron giant.

It was amazing. Even Iron Giants can't stand up to XI's bunnies.
