Please Cancel Beastmaster

Oh, it’s Miguel. Pay him no mind. He complains on Facebook why FFXIV needs to be more like WoW.

On topic, I love Beastmaster. It’s very fun to play as in FFXI. It’s the ultimate survival job. Though I wonder if there will be a monster hierarchy with what is stronger against what.

Limited classes are the best thing they've done in this game and there needs to be more.

[Derio]

Honestly why not both. Why not make a limited version of the job and then a unlimited(normal) version of the job

[Shurrikhan]

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.

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

Otherwise, though? It might take shaking up regular jobs a bit, just 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 for that reason.

Just waiting to get this class released is already boring. You're gonna have to wait for a looooong period..

Please cancel the official forums, its a waste of resources.

Agreed. There is no real discussions here, only venting in the most unhinged ways.

[Neoyoshi]

How about they 'cancel' the DDoS attacks that are currently going on, i think thats more important.

Troll or not, I feel this in my soul.

Limited jobs are just...bad. They feel like side ventures that will always be left behind as content goes forward.

Putting in another one is going to just invite more disappointment as it doesn't get the treatment people desire.

As far as I'm aware, we have the Limited jobs like Blu because of how OP it can get while retaining to the core class concept of what made blu Mage a Blu mage. And it's also limited because it doesn't stand with the 2 minute meta as far as I'm aware.

I hope that Beastmaster will primarily ACTUALLY be a pet job with synergy instead of something stupid or them trying to be "original". They tore out the pet functionality from SMN so the least they could do is just stick it on BeastMaster and let those that want a pet job be able to enjoy having a pet job.

Well, yes, but actually no.

BLU DPS relies pretty heavily on the combo colloquially referred to as the Moon Flute Combo, and due to some spells in that combo(Nightbloom, Matra Magic, Phantom Flurry) having two minute CDs, it is functionally a 2 minute meta, however, since BLU doesn't really buff each other, drifting your Moon Flute is absolutely not a big deal, so waiting until it's safe to do so is much more viable and you aren't punished if someone decided to be daring and did their combo sooner than you, meaning going off sync with the party doesn't exist as an issue, plus should the boss be near death, you can elect to Moon Flute sooner than you would would otherwise with fewer spells ready to push for for that last bit of damage, so it leads to BLU having an extremely versatile burst, with its main buff spells having no cooldowns, and simply having other costs associated with it.
