    Just have to point out.

    Beastmaster is a stupid name.

    I really hope that if we ever get it in any form that it is renamed Trainer.

The devs would have to settle for picking one of BLU's sub-identities defined by the three extreme corners of its role selection: flute-burst, oGCD, and weakness-targeting DPS; ARR WHM, including Stoneskin II, but with more damage buttons; and a tank that uses actively cast mitigations, along with abilities that "reflect" damage back at the target (Chel' Gate, Veil of the Whorl, Cold Fog, etc.). Probably the DPS one exclusively since that's what BLU would queue as, unless they actually find a way for BLU to actually count as a healer or tank in terms of mechanics.
    This is primarily why I don't see unlimited BLU working. I personally love the Chelonian Gate/Cold Fog/Dragon Force tank flavor, and would rage if I lost that for a pure DPS BLU. And I feel like there are people who would feel similarly if BLU had to sacrifice the DPS elements and became a tank.

    (No one would care if BLU lost healing though)

    (Though seriously, if BLU were ever an unlimited job, I think we all know it should be a tank)
