I'm very likely to play DT, so I'm not really in the same boat- BUT.. when I saw pictomancer as a normal job I literally had the same thought lol. "Wow.. this can be normal but blue got tossed into the limited pits? Pffft".

The trailer was still neat, but BLU has been a constant annoyance in my mind and it did temporarily taint this weird / different idea they had gone with as a normal job. Perhaps another reason why I don't really have any excitement for Painter, just jaded lol. I really hope they leave limited and go 'advanced' instead (add interesting mechanics to normal jobs, sometimes vastly different than a standard job). When Beastmaster hit the screen I was immediately hit with the idea that it would be a less interesting version of WoW's hunter, which is a 'normal' job, and would feel like a reskin of BLU (given BLU is also 'go to monster, get content').

I do feel since release they've made BLU limited more interesting, but it hasn't taken away the ache and it definitely is still in a state that I am not really sold on, feel it could be better as a limited job, would have preferred it normal (still, even after everything they've done), feel it would be best as an advanced, but at least I can now feel more "I guess I can see why some like it". If Beastmaster is just a half attempt, I seriously wish they would quit it. Pick things that are deliberately outside of a sane mind (like Onion Knight, or Xenogear/saga/Gundam/G-Warrior/Magitek Pilot, type stuff. I've never almost quit about anything else, yet BLU had me practically ready to leave (especially as release BLU was just plain bad). Honestly if WoW had not been making bad choice after bad choice it might have scooped me lol. Luckily for my own sanity, I'm not invested in Beastmaster and just feel bad for those who dreamed to play it normal. I sincerely hope they put substantial effort into it's limited concept so it doesn't feel like a giant choco turd on a dream to play it normal all for the sake of "but I can't figure it out" which sounds like a copout (and if they can give more polish to BLU that'd be nice too).
