    Beastmaster ability request - Deadspin

    Dear devs and community team,

    Yoshida's expressed interest in adding 'pet jobs' to the game such as a Beastmaster type class that would be able to tame or summon monsters to fight alongside the party in their assault against vicious primal forces and evil empires and such. I'm looking forward to being at the head of a fearsome army of moles and plush sheep!

    However, I've got one particular ability in mind for the Beastmaster class - "Deadspin", wherein upon being given the command, your tamed monster keels over and plays dead (in order to confuse the enemy), and then starts spinning around while playing dead (in order to confuse, bewilder, and frighten the opponent even further).

    I think this would be a very tactically interesting ability, especially in the eventual PvP elements of gameplay wherein you could use an array of spinning corpses as a diversionary tactic, and then assault your opponent from afar while they stare at a rotating aldgoat murmuring desperate prayers to the Twelve under their breath.

    Any thoughts, fellow players?

    I can't imagine a game where dead monsters don't inexplicably spin upon their plummet to their ground. My immersion has been changed to include this as part of the Twelve's grand plan for us all, and I plan on incorporating it into my BST skill bar. I am training quite vigorously for this day by riding my chocobo around people in circles, and when comes the day we are felled in battle, the built up centripetal force will ensure our spin.

    "i" can become "we." Spin whichever way your heart desires, and believe.
