Beastmaster a wasted opportunity

[rawker]

to be fair i think they make them limited because of how powerful they are/can be, also would be a bit conflicting to have blu mage using the same primal powers that SMN can/should use but if they were to repurpose the theme/concept of these classes then i can see them being more feasible for all content such beastmaster = ranger or keep the name and make it a tank or dps, Blu = illusionist? shaman? or something of its nature

BRDs have their own gimmick. Why can't BST have their own, on top of being a main job? Taming/breeding beasts could have been a sideline while they themselves have a loyal companion that will fight alongside them, at all time.

Just to share the post I made from reddit proposing BST as a tank job.

i would say its the difference in the ability of the gimmick, BRD performance doesnt really have any world/battle application like using the power of a diety or monster, im not saying im against the idea in fact i like your suggestion however i can only imagine that if limited jobs were to become main jobs but with a side benefit then it might create an expectation for other jobs both new& current and while i think that would be cool, the devs/company however dont seem to want to invest in fully broadening any of the classes identity/originality anymore considering they removed job quests as well as few other examples that i dont have the energy at the moment to get into.
