Question about beastmaster to yoshi P

[LeoLupinos]

It would be cool. But it will never happen that way, because the devs are always trying to make things easier for themselves, to keep the immaculate formula being followed forever, and that kind of Job would turn their work a lot harder.
I bet they will transform the Job system into something even simple the next expansion. Sadly because players are demanding for simple things. The crowd for complex systems for Jobs is just not enough big or loud.
I bet I will need to trash this game if things got even not entertaining next expansion for the main thing for me, the Jobs.

I wish they have place for complex jobs too

I know they want move some point just have jobs and not have class

why must we always go to simple jobs system in wow they did away Class talent tree which was part the fun world of Warcraft. the simpefeid the pet system. I wish SE would toss us want more Complex jobs a bone sometimes

Are pet jobs really that complex though? I mean at first they might be a little complicated to some players but once you get the majority of the job(s) down, it becomes second nature. I know some players can find BRD, BLM or AST complex so I don't think it's limited to just pet jobs but more down to what a player finds themselves feel fit that criteria you know.

Considering what they've done to SMN in FF XIV...I'd rather they never attempt a pet class again. The Bahamut summon was a step in the right direction...but all the egis should look like the eikons they're meant to represent. And SMN shouldn't be playing like an Aflliction warlock from World of Warcraft.

they can improve summoner if give the chance yet let hope they take time improve it, I do want beastmaster job that tame and fight along side of they pets

[Bahati]

I would love another pet class! I really don't care if in action the pets are exactly the same as egi or fairies as long as they are far more customizable in appearance. I'm tired of looking at Eos and Selene, I wish SCH got fairy glamours at that time.

For BST the pet could just be like another weapon (that's all egi are, weapons "locked on" a target) and charge from our side and return. Or set up on the field and AOE shield for a while before returning to the player.

[Savagelf]

I rather they make more pet job with you have pet and whip and pet be more like pet

[Savagelf]

I read a comment Yoshi P said at last years Fanfest in Japan about future pet jobs he would like tried one in future I guess more when they fix summoner at some point. I think we hope fix it. so all hope isn't lost for are fur friends and they beastmaster tamer friend

I think part of the reason is holdover fears from FFXI where the dragoon class was near useless if their pet died in a fight as I'm told. I don't think he hates pet classes, I just don't think he knows if its even possible to put one in and make it work.

Unless they changed some aspects of combat and a value/reason to solo, pet jobs in XIV are in-name-only. Other MMOs make the class and pet synergize together and able to work separately based on the situation whereas here, Carbuncle, Fairies, and Egis are just a flavor extension of their classes' abilities and not true entities of their own. Needing a variety of pets to fit different situations is a non-issue here because all the combat is the same (dodge dance and maximize DPS) there is no reward or consequence for using the "wrong" pet aside from a dps loss.

A true pet class would require a change in thinking from the job team and a redesign of future/existing content to make it actually matter or work and that's why it's not a high priority at all from them.

That was early in the game's life and has long since been corrected by making the wyvern have its own cooldown instead of being tied to the then-2hr ability as well as giving traits and abilities to the dragoon themselves to make them a solid DD job. Again it just requires a different way of designing a job that the devs currently aren't into doing as of right now.
