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

[C000kiemonster]

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



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.

What I gathered is that like your chocobo when out helping you.... a pet would also transfer zones and dungeons as we always wished.

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

BST typically would be able to handle all jobs. It would be a major addition to the game if they also equiped dungeon finder to allow BST to queue based on minimum stat requirements for healing, tanking, dpsing.

Its MORE THAN WORTH the work to put into the best class EVER !

I dont think bst will work here no nms to hunt

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.

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!

I can see BST going two ways. A Normal streamlined job with a few pets, or a Limited Job that can utilize multiple monsters.

Eureka (and previously diadem) says hi. Also Who says BST has to pull only from NMs? Fate bosses, Dungeon bosses and even regular overwrld mobs could work well enough.

in before we find out it is the next limited job..

[C000kiemonster]

Limited would be better than nothing... Pet jobs <3 <3

With how received the 5.1 changes to BLU were by those who play it, even further improvements to the limited system (including a change to the name plz thx SE) are welcome. Taming creatures ala. Pokemon and having a bestiary would be an awesome piece of content for the game, especially if they interacted in some way with BLU.
