Beastmaster class is underwhelming

[MayuAmakura]

Was there a need to start this thread with: "I want to complain but i'll say that I love this game so ffxiv most friendly community doesn't crash out on me. I dislike this but know that I really really love this game, please don't hurt me!".
Every single time.

this job is awful, not only it lost skill when do level synch down fate, it's also cannot use role ability like BLU, what the point of make it a limit job then, just make it real job and guarantee it will be the mst awful DPS for raid, also crapton of maintenant because of this job make it not worth it

Three years of development for this, by the way. I never want to hear anybody say that suggestions to improve the game are not a good use of resources ever again.

It's a little concerning how quickly I lost interest when these sorts of classes are always my favorite in mmos...

forget to add, ít call beastmaster job and i have cast time for summon a beast, seriously, have to refresh beast for one with nature buff between pull in dungeon run is annoying

Found Beastmaster very boring to play. I collected my 50 pets and done with it till they make some big changes to it.

It is a bit...disappointing how utterly barebones its kit is outside of the heavily CD/time-gated instinctual combos and tempered release abilities.

I really was expecting the combos be much more frequent then they are but as it stands your normal instinctual combo is effectively on like a one minute CD due to how long it takes to build resources and getting an infinitive combo is only realistically going to happen once every three minutes or so (So basically never outside of the absolute longest fights in the crucible).

unless there is a big rework for this job in future, i can't see this overtake BLU as a job to solo treasure map, its beast can't tank for them, a single tank buster can screw them off, and they lack of meanful way to recover alot of HP incase of emergency

Considering 90% of the job's content is the Crucible, I don't think you can really have an educated opinion on the job having not done it.

It's perfectly fine to not like it, but that's like saying, I dunno, you don't like Black Mage because it's really repetitive in Halatali.

for a limited job, they dropped the ball on beast master. its a limited summoner job with skins.

for a limited job, they dropped the ball on beast master. its a limited summoner job with skins.

I'd say it isn't even that much, the entire job is just a gameplay mechanic of the Crucible mode, akin to OC's Phantom Jobs.
