Idea: Make Beastmaster a Disciple of Land Class

[Balaur]

Now, hear me out. What if Beastmaster was like a Botanist, but instead of harvesting Trees and bushes, it harvests the dead caucus of animal it defeats?

You would charm other animals your level and then use it to defeat other enemies. And with limited gathering attempts, open up the body and gather meat, web, shards, fangs, skin or blood using a similar UI Botanists use for harvesting.

You can have skills like taunt and heal. Or maybe even one that unleshes their special attack, kind of like SMN's Enkindle skill.

What you are describing isn't a Beastmaster, which is a animal trainer/pet class. You are describing Skinning from WoW, which is a profession often also employed by Leatherworkers who then processed the carcasses.

Also, what am I going to do with all of these Redbelly Hivekeepers? Reenact that scene from Predator II and mount their bodies on walls, and hang them upside down and skinless to drain?

It could still have all the traits and abilities of FFXI's BST in order to charm and kill enemies. Even the Call familiar skill. All that DoL stuff happens after it kills the mob.
