    It might be a troll thread but he has a point.

    They need to design an entirely new job with it's own unique mechanics, but that job is also not allowed to play with the others and sits at a lower level cap as well.

    And because it's not allowed to play with the big boy jobs or do any of the normal expansion content it relies heavily on the devs to create content for it, which eats up more resources solely for this one job.
    Or they don't make any new content for the limited job and it collects dust.

    Beastmaster is about collecting beasts and fight with them, there is no way they could squeeze that concept into a regular job unless they make a physical version of actual SMN, which no one want.
    It has to be a limited job. Just let's see what this is about before saying it's useless garbage.

    Well since people are so absolutely dead set that SMN has to make WHM look like it requires 6 brains why not just make “physical SMN” as a pet job and call it a real job

    As far as I understood all the modern SMN mains didn’t want a pet job anyway since apparently the only SMN design allowed is a one to one copy of Rydia sent through a woodchipper

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    If creatively bankrupt, you're right, there's not.

    Otherwise, though? It might take shaking up regular jobs a bit --just as would a good Summoner or a Monk whose stances weren't negligible tack-ons, a Dragoon with a specialized Bane/Flight or even just a combo system that isn't 90% button-bloat, etc.-- but it'd be doable.

    And honestly, it deserved all the more to have been attempted instead of this limited job nonsense for that reason.

    limited jobs are a poor idea atm yeah, you should be able to do all content with it up to max level
    curious how it will play otherwise can we clear ultimates and get ultimate bosses to show off? would be nice

    Based on the only other limited job after almost 7 years, don't get your hopes up.

    I think Beastmaster can be fun as a limited job. Tho it does not really fit the fantasy of an online mmorpg. Better to make fun jobs that are more uniqe that can do all content. Fix the normal jobs before adding side content. ^^

    Normal Job design isn't going to see any meaningful change, regardless. Why pretend discontinuating Limited Job is going to make any difference?

    And if they go and make them regular jobs? You'll get a job with similar beats to the rest, grow bored and leave it gathering dust anyways, at the expense of the few who actually enjoy the content. No one wins.

    And the reason SE did away with pets is because they know well they're incapable to make pets actually work as intended instead of carrying dreadful AIs, ghosting commands and getting stuck in places.

    As a BLU enjoyer, I'm also excited for Beastmaster.

    My main issue with Beastmaster is the fact that we're 1 year into the expansion and we still have no idea what Beastmaster gameplay will even be like, besides conceptually (which we already had from old FF games)
    They could atleast give us a screenshot of the gear for BST or something... Waiting till next summer for it will be hell.
