I wouldn't mind it actually, but even better, how about raid bosses as legendary's. Catching the Pheonix as a monster to use in battle. Maybe adding some sort of limiter for certain captured monsters. Like one monster will be your main choice for constant actions, one for heavy attacks most likely on cool down, and one like the Pheonix that's your extremely heavy attack that's on a really long cooldown or special proc (maybe a limit break).

The more I think of it I feel like BST might be best used as a tank role. Splitting damage between you and your pet could be the gimmick behind the class. With regards to getting beasts, make an ability like "Tame" that does some decent damage but has an added effect of "taming" a beast under 20% hp.

Only issue is your then making the beast master have more variety in the pets. They will either end up as copy cats of each other in the end (Same stats, same attacks just different look) or your only "taming" will be done in the form of a level 30 quest in which you tame the already pre-set monster your Job Master has picked for you. Don't get me wrong, they may very well allow us to pick our own mob but I don't expect for them to let us. Granted I wouldn't mind if they let us customize its looks in a way like we do, perhaps a pet fantasia being a craft item from Alch but eh.

Story wise, capture a young one or find an egg? > incubate > "its maturing/hatching" >Pet customization screen > Your new pet
