Beastmaster Class

The lack of a monster/elemental wheel sorta kills much of the old potential.

But I suppose they could make it a pet class. With a shape shifting companion that can become a miniature mimic the whatever monster you tell it to copy.

I want to have a beastmaster, but only if it more works more like a real pet class and not like how Summoner is at the moment. The focus of the class should be more on the pet and the ability for the pet and master to work in sync.

it could work , dual axes , charm for fun (because in dungeons raids wont be usable at all... kinda like ninja stealth) , and letting the BST choose from a lots of pets , every pet bring something

Crab = Carrie of course, can bring defense buff and str down

Bear = slashing debuff and -10% dmg debuff (if DRK doesnt have it) because atm only War provides it.

Tiger = crit buff? , and some aoe dps with bleed dot

Mandragora = blunt debuff and stun (headbutt!)


the bst will command the pets do the skills in btw the pets will just autoattack , add some chains for the bst that buff the pet somehow , DPS CDS and u have a job that is a wildcard and can bring whatever is needed for the party.


Bst could be awesome in FFXIV !

plus the AF would look cool on lalafells

Yes!

But their new weapon would be either a one-handed axe or a whip.

I like pet classes :>

But seriously, i'd LOVE a Beastmaster class, as long the pets aren't as dumb as summoner egis (It wouldn't be so hard to SE make them turn passive when you're mounted, honestly).

We'd pretty much need to be able to charm any beastikin, scalekin, and whatever the hades you call aquatic monsters.

Hey...this could actually be fun...

I want BM back but considering how everything is [not that dangerous] you could tame anything...
If they made it so this job is available at 50~ it would make more sense to me since Heavensward is supposed to add danger.
Tame a beast the right way.
By getting your ass kicked in the process.
Just my opinion tho. xD

Considering how this game is, if we did get a beastmaster class, I kinda see it being along the lines of Summoner, in that every few levels you get a new pet to tame or control on a mission and then just call out the pet depending on the situation much like Ifrit, garuda and titan. However I wouldn't say no to more classes at all, im still quietly waiting for some mention of a Dancer class xD

Seeing how pissed the vocal minority is about SMNs, I actually could see them doing it differently and more in-line with the image of picking possibly one or two pets by taming them, and developing those pets' abilities.

It wouldn't. With the current system Beastmaster would just be a Physical Summoner. You'd have a Tank pet, a Melee pet, and a Ranged pet. It'd always be about the Beastmaster and not the pet.

As is a FFXI styled BST will not work in FFXIV. Tis but a dream.
