    Beastmaster is about collecting beasts and fight with them, there is no way they could squeeze that concept into a regular job unless they make a physical version of actual SMN, which no one want.
    It has to be a limited job. Just let's see what this is about before saying it's useless garbage.

    Well since people are so absolutely dead set that SMN has to make WHM look like it requires 6 brains why not just make “physical SMN” as a pet job and call it a real job

    As far as I understood all the modern SMN mains didn’t want a pet job anyway since apparently the only SMN design allowed is a one to one copy of Rydia sent through a woodchipper

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    If creatively bankrupt, you're right, there's not.

    Otherwise, though? It might take shaking up regular jobs a bit --just as would a good Summoner or a Monk whose stances weren't negligible tack-ons, a Dragoon with a specialized Bane/Flight or even just a combo system that isn't 90% button-bloat, etc.-- but it'd be doable.

    And honestly, it deserved all the more to have been attempted instead of this limited job nonsense for that reason.
