Beast master

[Kaeoni]

I'd like a Dual Axe? idk i guess whip would be cool... (Not my first choice) wielding Beastmaster where you melee along side your pet, (depending on the pet). Having it auto engage on what you engage on, unless told otherwise doesn't seem like a difficult mechanic for anyone. Naturally the emphasis should be placed either more towards the pet than the master, or equally so. This is something FFxi did poorly. Beastmasters manipulation over their pets abilities was extremely limited. This is the #1 job I want to see in the future being a Bst main in FFxi.

The focus should definitely be in my honest opinion, a 50/50 split importance on your pet and your actual character. Something that bothers the shit out of me with Summoner is the pussification (no offense) of the the Summons. Summoners in FFxiv are simply not Summoners. Don't get me wrong, the class works well and It's a really cool class. But it's not a Summoner, It's a DoT applying/Spreading/Burst DPS Class with a few things centralized around the theme of a summoner. Like Dreadwyrm Trance. and it can sort of kind of do things with it's Summons. What Summoner sort of kind of does things with it's summons, and relies heavily on arbitrary Dot's which intrinsically mean nothing to the class on a traditional level as well as a functioning level on FFxiv? They aren't related to summoning or are even on the summons themselves. Just look at the abysmal list of avatar abilities. It's sad, and forgotten about really.

My point is. Don't add Beastmaster if you're not going to make it a Beastmaster. If you want Pet Planet Hippy Store Clerk who owns an untrained Dachshund who sort of kind of does what you want it to do but it sometimes shits in your living room. Then Call it what it is. An inept Pet Planet Hippy Store Clerk who shouldn't even own a god damn goldfish.

Look, i'm just... real passionate about Beastmaster. =)
