Hating to hate.

But how do you mean? Jug pets are what made BST even remotely viable in exp situations for most of its life, but beyond that... Unless SE allows decides BST's can now tame random pieces of machinery, it'll be useless in a lot of dungeons where no monsters exist for them to tame. So it'll probably play much like SMN in that we can call pets forth. Cause I don't think a BST without a pet in you know, Allagan dungeons, is going to be much help to a party.

FFXI at least had "Charming" field monsters, I don't see a mechanic like that making its way into XIV, it'd probably be quest related and we "Tame" monsters during the quests to be able to call them forth similar to SMN, and Jug pets.
