In defense of beastmaster though, we have beastmaster NPCs showing up in the Bozja storyline so there's that.

Regarding the potential of a scythe wielding job though, scythes already exist in the game as BTN equippable items so I wonder if anything would need to be renamed.
Axes already exist in the game as well between both BTN and WAR. There's a difference between a small gardening scythe and a scythe like Ranjiit's. They could also rename either one as "sickle" and call it a day.
