I am most excited about being able to fight as a team with tiger, using a crossbow as a main weapon and other hunting tools like paralyzing nets and whips.
hunter war class


Edit:

It seems like the old idea of charming a monster with a flute could work on its own as a Beast Lord. The to beast mastery is a simply one, One a hunter and one a charmer and another a Minion master. What am thinking is that you can technically make a blue mage out of minions o I'm thinking that if you summon a minion and fight alongside it and have it learn moves from other monsters like a puppet master.

I understand what you mean by true pet class, and the thought of BST is a good thought. I dont know how it would work in FFXIV though. It was a really fun job in XI because the open world was so deadly to the lone adventurer, and beastmaster could essentially use those powerful mobs in the zones to fight for him and thereby level entirely by himself. One of the weakest parts of FFXIV is the complete lack of overworld content. The mobs are easily soloable by any class. Beastmaster would have to be a dps I would think, and it would have to be able to fight in duties, so its pets couldnt come from charming mobs. The BST would have to summon his pets as an ability. Im sure you could make the job work some how, but it wouldnt be the BST we remember from FFXI. Im all for a true pet class though...I love pet classes. Its not really in the Final Fantasy lore but id love to see a necromancer type job, that throws hordes of weak minions at mobs. Imagine a mage in ffxiv that could summon an army of 8 sekeletons and throw them at mobs, or a giant gargantuan ala diablo 3. Some type of class that commands multiple pets as his primary means of attack.

I totally agree that we should make Necromancer the one to charm monsters.

Moved to New Jobs for FF:14

Necromancer a thought charmer from hell. He can fight with a Scythe. And use shadow magics to control hordes.
The Hunter shoots the crossbow gun and wields young tiger pet that grows. Can fight on mounts. Beast master.

Guys please post your comments in the new thread to do with new job ideas here is the link : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...67#post3829267

Forum moderators can you please delete this thread.

I would have to agree with wanting this.. When thinking about a new job, you've gotta take into account the current battle system. That's why people who are hyped about Red MAge need to dail it back just a little bit because RDM being "Jack of all Trades, Master of none" Won't work to well unless they multi roll it or make a XIV exclusive version that no one knows (techincally RDM abilities are already in the game like Enfire [sword magic]). However BST is one of those jobs I feel would fit right in with very little changes to the overall job & the process of taming a monster in the wild could possibly be a game onto itself if they do it right.
