    [ HMMM ] BST= Beastmaster as next class ... ALL WILL /bow



    Given the number of mobs we have in game as well as the types of classes....

    Requirements are steep:
    30 Marauder
    15 Archer
    15 Conjurer
    15 Arcanist

    While the requirements for unlock are higher than any other, the benefits gained by charm make it a fun challenge to unlock. A feeat worthy of any true beastmaster. It also encourages the leveling of healers.

    It would only make sense to bring back our beloved Beastmaster class to charm all those terrifying mobs with. Truely a pet class worthy of being in FFXIV.




    ROAR !!

    BOW TO HIS MAJESTY ... THE BEASTMASTER ! ! !

    Would be nice to have a REAL pet class in the game, instead of a class that has a pet that does things on it's own.

    This is a little old but as far as I know Beastmaster was confirmed and is coming eventually

    Gamer Escape: It was mentioned that players will be able to call primal when they’ve defeated them. Does that mean we’ll see Summoner and Beastmaster types of classes and jobs?

    Yoshida: We call tell you that we’ve decided to put a Summoner class in the game. I want to be a Summoner.

    Gamer Escape: There was a tame ability mentioned as well, so does that mean Beastmaster as well?

    Yoshida: Yes. The foundation or system for using pets in battle is currently being made. So yes in the future there will be a beast tamer type of class. Again, it’s all about that adding one class means adding more jobs and all these extra things. So all these jobs won’t come at the same time. It’s all about the priorities, but it is on the list and we are making preparations for it.
    Note the talk about the 'tame ability'

    I don't know how it would work - especially in dungeons but you can't have BST without tame. And Yoshi specifically mentioned a 'beast tamer' class.

    Given how the summons are currently handled, I don't really think SE would make it any more complicated than that. You can decide where they go, when they attack, who they attack, what abilities they use; sure, there could be a bit more control over when pets use their special attacks, but I feel it's decent enough as is.

    That said, I hadn't considered making BST branch out from MRD. It's not a bad idea. My only question would be if BST would better function with Charm or Pet jugs (maybe equipped in the unused Shield slot for MRD) or some combination of both... like the ability is Charm if no jug is equipped and Call Animal if one is.

    I definitely want BST and I would certainly level BST... but hopefully it wouldn't be yet another DPS job/class.

    My best guess is that it would be something like in other games where you "tame" a monster and it's added to your collection to summon when needed. Would have a collection of about 2-4 monsters at a time. A basic attack set of 3-4 attacks used when under "auto-attack" function, and 1 special attack used under "sic" or something. When a new monster is tamed you have to get rid of one in your collection.

    That is my best assumption based off of the current pet system. Meaning, SMN/SCH have 3/2 summons respectively, with 4 moves and SMN gets a special attack.

    As much as I would love to see a BST class. I just don't see it being much different than SMN, which is upsetting. Hopefully they will put an innovative spin on BST to make it interesting and fun to level.
