But.....If they just left BST alone as a solo job, they would not have had to "Balance" the distance. What you are saying is a prime example as to why those trusting SE to release BST as a group job, are asking for a world of disappointment...

The FF BST tames or catches. If you get away from that, what kind of job do you have? The XI BST, which is a disaster.
From what my LS leader told me this spring, BST still couldn't use abilities to tell their pet to use special attacks besides at rather close range unlike PUP. No clue if that was fixed when you said it was because I just leveled BST to 99 two years ago being in melee range the entire time. Wasn't one of the new pets a grasshopper from SoA?

What am I saying is a prime example? That I want to see a full job version of BST AND there be some fun side content? If you check my post history from a year ago you will see that I said I would like to see some side content open to any job involving charming something in Azim Steppe and having a ladder you climb up defeating monsters along the way till you fight some end zone boss. Since then, I thought it would be cool if it also has aspects of choco raising from XI to give it longevity but who knows if that would fly since would be "time gating".

I would like to see BST as a full job that has a "tank pet", "dps pet", and an "utility pet" that could potentially heal. Then the charming aspect is to have a collection of skins that you can then use in a system similar to picking your choco barding. Then would still like there to be something XIesque for solo play again ideally open to any job.
