We Need Beast Master Job in FF14 ARR

[AlphaFox]

I do kinda agree that a pet class should be added where they do majority, if not all the work. Taking a slight page from PSO2 the Summoner class there is based off the pet, to my knowledge cus I am not to far into it, you have no direct attacks at all you just simply command the pet where to strike. If the pet dies, your forced to switch classes for a bit. Seeing as that is not an actual option here, we could do a life-link in a way where any damage the pet takes is actually received by the player and thus if the player dies, so does the pet? However seeing how the game is going I would wager the pets would be done the same way as Summoner, at certain levels you just receive a set pet, call what the situation needs.

I'd love to see racial pets(kind of like in FFX-2 the pets are different depending if you are Yuna, Rikku or Paine) with a skill point system like companion chocobo(limited amount of points or rows like WoW's talent system).

Then people will complain they can't have a pet from another race and say its not fair. I don't see that ending well.

And people don't complain now regarding race only stuff?

Honestly, I want a Puppet master first. But a NEW puppet master NOT, repeat, NOT, I will repeat again NOT the puppet master from FFXI. I don't wat another pugilist with pet. A true puppet master which uses the puppets as weapons. FFXIV is not FFXI, we don't need copy classes from FFXI like a 1:1, It is necesary give them new vision and adapt it to the FFXIV gameplay.

You say this as if the jobs here had anything to do with FFXI's.

Exactly why it would just be a salt fest if this happened.

(Im all for race specific things btw so I wouldn't mind something like this or any other type of differences to add flavor to the game)

Actually I think they limited the number of abilities effected by the current summoned pet in order to make the class easier to balance. When you have a class in which most of its abilities are determined by the currently active pet and that class is actually a number of different classes with one meta class. Each different pet would create a different version of the class that must be balanced against every other version and every other class.

This is a key aspect about designing a more (taming monsters) pet-focused job in XIV. This game is built upon balancing everything so nothing is glaringly a better option in every way. People get excited at the prospect of taming their favorite XIV mob, but as monsters are now, there would be some monsters so incredibly useless and so incredibly overpowered that the devs would be sloppy not to simply homogenize every monster to have the same move pool to avoid lovely little "only BSTs using Narbroois can join this PF (they have a vulnerability stack ability I think?)" scenarios and in the end we'll end up with the type of pets being nothing more than glamour. If everyone can settle for that, then by all means...

Then pet glamour, just like SMN, problem solved

Pet glamours are a poor excuse for a pet class sadly :/

No, the jobs here a re good. I asay this for the people who insist on compare all with FFXI, and ask for same thigns than FFXI.

And how many times I read in this forums "THis class on FFXI has this feature and not here" and other similar things, like Samurai is a DPS on FFXI so wil lbe DPS on FFXIV to (Could be or not, that Yoshi-P team decission). A class what work in a determoned way in FFXi doesn't mean that should be traspased here as is. That's why I specific, I want a Puppet master, but a FFXIV vision of the Puppet Master.
