So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

*Accuses me of being unimaginative because I can't envisage unique mechanics/abilities in terms of Samurai
* States beast master is impossible

Lol

Because unlike you simply stating that SAM is "boring" there's actually knowable issues with creating Beastmaster as a tank, particularly one where the pet does the tanking.

It's not that it can't be done, it's that it has far too many issues that will make it entirely too difficult to create and balance and so it won't be done. There's a difference and if you can't see it than that's on you.

Beastmaster could work as a tank, but absolutely not as one where the pet actively does the tanking unless it's in an abstract way as in damage the BST takes is redirected to the pet's HP pool, in which case the pet is technically tanking the damage. Even that concept however comes with some huge potential issues that can be entirely game breaking. I guarantee you I can shred whatever ideas you could put forward to have a beastmaster where the pet actively tanks.

I gave reasons as to why I believe a Samurai will be, yes, boring, but if you can literally contradict yourself in the space of two sentences such as in your first response to me, then I'm certain reading back will also be too much of a brain-hassle.

Not a contradiction which I've explained, but okay, we're done here.
