I loved my BST in XI. However, I loved the bst/whm charm and release bit. Yeah, in terms of xp it was horrendously slow, but the gameplay was fun. I can't say I was ever bored leveling it, from 1 to 75.

I realize BST in XI had issues, and I'm not going to go into those. What I would most like for a pet job in XIV would be something that combines that kind of playstyle, only better. Something where my 'capturing' beasts provides me with pets, where my knowledge of mob families and terrain helps. I would be okay with it being a solo job, for what that's worth. Not because I'm anti-party, but because switching jobs is switching roles, going from DD to mage, to tank to healer.. and maybe to something that solos in some capacity. Mind you, I don't have my heart set on it.

It'd be fun to capture pets, also, to name and level them. I like the idea of being able to make pets unique, by combining traits/cosmetic features, and all that.

What I don't want is a pet of no consequence _._;
