Limited Job #2: Beastmaster

[He-Saiyan]

If BST have tame in a dungeon, it can be exploited regardless if the pets are reskins. In XI, BST tamed creatures. Devs killed tame once instances such as Abyssea & Escha became a thing. Group content.

Prior to this, BST was a solo job in XI. People switched jobs if they wanted to group up, because BST would mostly group with other BST or play solo.

People complained that BST is not a group job, SE killed charming/tame, gimped BST, now they complain that BST is gimped....The worst part? Most of BST gear still has the dated charm & tame boost instead of dd.....What a mess. That is due to jugs; is BST a tamer or a class who summons jugs? Now the BST picture is more murky.....

The moral of the story, BST should have stayed a solo job. Nobody was crying gimp, because we all understood what BST was. Devs even admitted it was basically a solo class in XI. The cries for group content made BST become the most nerfed job in XI.

Cosmetic reskins of pets in the form of jugs is what they are currently doing in XI, & the BST community hates it. The last update received pages of backlash because the pets were simply cosmetic reskins. Why would the do the same thing over expecting a different result? BST was fine as a solo class.

Believe the backlash to that update were because all BST got were the new jugs instead of adjustments like being able to command your pet from a distance like PUP is able to.

The update which nerfed the range happened way back in 2017 if I recall. People were giving them flak with the recent one, because the flower pet & the ladybug were the exact same as the other flower & ladybug pets. They were basically cosmetic items which added nothing of value to BST.

But.....If they just left BST alone as a solo job, they would not have had to "Balance" the distance. What you are saying is a prime example as to why those trusting SE to release BST as a group job, are asking for a world of disappointment...

The FF BST tames or catches. If you get away from that, what kind of job do you have? The XI BST, which is a disaster.

From what my LS leader told me this spring, BST still couldn't use abilities to tell their pet to use special attacks besides at rather close range unlike PUP. No clue if that was fixed when you said it was because I just leveled BST to 99 two years ago being in melee range the entire time. Wasn't one of the new pets a grasshopper from SoA?

What am I saying is a prime example? That I want to see a full job version of BST AND there be some fun side content? If you check my post history from a year ago you will see that I said I would like to see some side content open to any job involving charming something in Azim Steppe and having a ladder you climb up defeating monsters along the way till you fight some end zone boss. Since then, I thought it would be cool if it also has aspects of choco raising from XI to give it longevity but who knows if that would fly since would be "time gating".

I would like to see BST as a full job that has a "tank pet", "dps pet", and an "utility pet" that could potentially heal. Then the charming aspect is to have a collection of skins that you can then use in a system similar to picking your choco barding. Then would still like there to be something XIesque for solo play again ideally open to any job.
