Feature Expansion: Companion [suggestion]

[Shiro--Tsubasa]

I don't think it will. Beastmaster would have more of a synergistic role with their pet than through the companion feature. For example a beast master could offer buffs and support for their pet where as a companion isn't. Plus, beastmaster would be able to bring their pets into instances while you can't do that with a companion. Although these two concepts are similar they provide different things for the player. So I might ask, why not both?

I do however like the idea of creating a new DoL/DoH jobs based around monster breeding. So I'll add that to my main post.

Out of curiosity do you think this would step into the realm of Beastmaster? All for NPC companions but if we're talking about stuff that beastmaster makes companions wouldn't it be better just to do that? I guess if beastmaster became breeder, a DoL/H sort of job, it could all fit together nicely and to me the pet/raising is the most fun but I think people who liked beastmaster as a combat class would be a bit peeved about that.

Or just into job-less freely allocate-able skill spreads... Trade out some ranged utility for a pet on an Archer, or Surges for some synergetic strikes on a Lancer or—

Sorry, right... Those design concepts are dead and gone.
