I don't think mixing a DoL and a DoW class is that good. I'd rather have a "weaker" Beastmaster as starting class. Here's my attempt
Animal Trainer
(Limsa Lominsa\La Noscea -> Rat
- Gets a free pet, depending on starting location
U'Dah\Thanalan -> Marmot
Gridania\The Black Shroud -> Ladybug
Any other region -> one of the three will be chosen randomly)----
- Can get all three pets by completing quests in the cities.
- Will get a Wolf at level ~40
- (and possibly more animals in between)
- Weapon: Whip

The Animal trainer can either go Beastmaster or Puppetmaster once he finishes the level 30 Job Quests.----
The Beastmaster
(Coblyn, Aurelia, Tigers, Drakes, possibly even Ogres?)
- would be able to control all the animals the Animal Trainer can control.
- BST would additionally be able to control mobs that would be more "beast" like.

- Weapon: Whip

The Puppetmaster----
- Relies on a Puppet and can't control animals.
- Can get addons for the puppet (Elemental Damage, Poison, etc)
- Strong visual Puppet modifications
- Weapon: Special Whips (I thought "Antennas" might work in the whip category, so basically a wooden/metal/leather stick with nothing much to it since the puppet is the main weapon. Designed much like the PSICOM Huntress' weapon from FFXIII)

Shepherds should just be like Botanists, Miners and Fishers. No 2nd jobs (yet).

So to break it down..
----------> Dancer
Pugilist ->
----------> Monk
-----------------> Beastmaster
Animal Trainer ->
-----------------> Puppetmaster
Shepherd -x
I hope some of you might agree
If you disagree feel free to change it to whatever you like. Looking forward to your feedback![]()
