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

[Gilthas]

The way BST worked in FFXI seemed more like a coincidence than anything intended by SE (just like how NINs ended up being tanks). They clearly wanted them to be a DD job that just happened to use a pet, it was just the playerbase that found them to be great for soloing in a game that made soloing hard for the majority of jobs.

I dont think bst will work here no nms to hunt

Not sure how BST being able to work in a game has anything to do with the existence of NMs. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying that they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. This is like saying that RDMs can only work in a game with NMs.

BST never required NM, HNM, etc.... it was a fun class that more than half the people who tried it fell in love with it.

The classic pet class of all games at its best!
