Beastmaster idea (nothing original :D)

[ADVSS]

Like the DRK, MCH, AST jobs you have all the abilities from 30 down. So you can use another bst to fight and capture them. And not to death, you would have to decrease hp till they are weak, similar to pokemon style and the moonfire faire event where we had to capture a bomb.

theyre also functional in the first few dungeons all the way up... just find it interesting you give it no basic attacks besides poison, unless the idea is to place the beast master and have it auto attack for 20 percent of the damage, while you move the beast around? like the exact oppositte of smn?

EDIT: oh i see you got a vulture you can use, you really want to be relegated to using the pet hotbar and a few buffs?

If we ever get another pet class, if ever, i think yoshida said we were done with them with SMN/SCH.

I think we will keep the same concept as before, melee, tank and caster... Which in this case will be Ranged for physical damage. They will have 4 skills and that would be it. So, kinda underwhelming. Adding several diferent pets and 4 diferent skills for each would make the class way too much to develop, and for SE working on a budget and being know to want to simplify stuff from now on, that won`t ever happen.

I don't know if they would let us choose pets if they added Beastmaster. SE thus far has shown us they prefer every Job they add to be extremely structured with absolutely no customization aside from visuals. Hence, if we actually did get a beastmaster class I have this growing suspicion it wouldn't tame beasts so much as some kind feral spirit beast kind of creatures with it's attacks.

Now if they DID add it as an actual pet class, for one it would probably have the type of creature we use already selected from the beginning, secondly I'd want all of the oGCD abilities by the class to be done by the pet to emphasize the concept of the two working together as a pair to inflict damage. Also, before someone says "well what if the pet dies? The class loses it's effectiveness." That's absolutely true and a perfectly acceptable weakness. If you're going to be a Beastmaster, you should absolutely care about your pet and it's wellbeing and managing it's HP and keeping it alive should be part of the gameplay, not a reason to not have a pet reliant class at all.

Sad thing, Masekase_Hurricane might be right.
I personally would like them to learn how to deal with a pet class before they add new ones.
They killed SMN so yaaa.

Yep funny the minion SMNS look better than the Egis

Yep why not similar to SMN early on

Honestly the more I hear about Beastmaster, I think were more likely to get a "Minionmaster" battle class. Least with several minions to pick from they could easily be glamoured onto different "roles" for each one (Tank, melee and ranged dps)

I suggested this in another thread lol

Consumable Pet Food very likely will not happen for the same reason arrows were removed when they rebuilt the game. Besides Pup > Bst and Automatons are already a thing ;p

But we have already consumable pet food as Chocobo food

I want this in 4.0 *so so much* you don't even know.

Players idea of legendary



SE idea of legendary



Is this what you want to become of your Beastmaster?

Yes. Yes, it is. I want a little bunny bouncing around killing B-Ranks. Gib.
