New job idea

[Connor]

I could see this as a limited job, collecting various enemies then using them to overcome challenges similar to Blue Mage. I think a normal job Beastmaster / Tamer would be a bit difficult for them to do as it’d fall into the same pitfalls Summoner is in. Either the pets gets in the way and are too involved, or they’re there for a second and disappeared. Saying that, I could see such a job as a normal one if it’s ‘summon/taming’ abilities just called the animal out for the attack rather than being a proper pet. But then, that’s also quite a big compromise if the point is for there to be a ‘Beastmaster’ type job

Classic BST did just that, poofing a beast into existence for a single attack like classic SMN. Classic BST's other gimmick, enemy control, would not work in XIV's combat paradigm.
