Beastmaster suggestions

[baglefathoms]

just a few suggestions to the devs for a beastmaster ranged DPS class:

• could branch off the archer class
• could use a crossbow or hand crossbow and quiver combo
• uses a beast companion for close range e.g a panther, wolf, tiger etc like the summoner class

this is just an idea i've had on my mind for a while and had to get off my chest, don't take it too seriously.

thanks for reading

It won't branch off the Archer class because they don't want to branch multiple jobs off classes again like with scholar and summoner. No new jobs have had a class and it's been made clear that they have moved away from having a beginning class for anything new.

I think if they do add Beastmaster it will be in a similar system to Blue Mage in that it will be limited.
Blue Mage focused on learning skills from enemies.
Beastmaster would probably get pets/skills from the Beast Tribe dailies like buying jugs for the currencies.

I would really hope they would give up on limited jobs and instead just make it (and blu) a proper class that mechanically functions like the others. (Like theh could even have two job crystals where one functions as we currently have, and the other is like a "refined soul of the X"

If they MUST keep jobs limited to give them interesting flavor, id MUCH rather see BST act like a combination of the current companion system, and WoW's pet battle system where the mini game meshes separately from the job system entirely. Kind of like how they didn't give us a gambler limited job, but instead any character can just stroll up and enjoy triple triad wherever its permitted.
