I’d love nothing more than a Beastmaster job.

But for the reasons I assume they’re leery of implementing Blue Mage, I can see there being lots of balance issues if the BST was allowed to tame monster/animals from the wilds. Don’t get me wrong, the idea and novelty would be great—but I could see it being more trouble than it’s worth for the dev team. When they could implement a “preset” pet instead. Having multiple pets in general would probably be just as tricky to balance, as they’ve shown with SMN. I’d much rather they focus on a single companion (one the BST and player themselves could feel more “bonded” to) and later just implement “pet glamours” to change its appearance.

Just my personal opinion though. I’ll be honest, I’d take just about any BST concept. I just want one.
