Beastmaster class is underwhelming

[KageTokage]

It is a bit...disappointing how utterly barebones its kit is outside of the heavily CD/time-gated instinctual combos and tempered release abilities.

I really was expecting the combos be much more frequent then they are but as it stands your normal instinctual combo is effectively on like a one minute CD due to how long it takes to build resources and getting an infinitive combo is only realistically going to happen once every three minutes or so (So basically never outside of the absolute longest fights in the crucible).

unless there is a big rework for this job in future, i can't see this overtake BLU as a job to solo treasure map, its beast can't tank for them, a single tank buster can screw them off, and they lack of meanful way to recover alot of HP incase of emergency

BLU was the same at 50.

But I agree it's not exactly an excuse.

pretty sure BLU has mighty guard and white wind at level 50, that help them tank raid boss just fine even with casting gearset, for BST, even a tank buster from level 41 dungeon boss can screw you up

What makes beastmaster worse than blue mage, is blue mage still need to use mighty guard and white wind in masked carnivale, while beastmaster rarely able to use their full combo in crucible.

i didn't talk about crucible, for that matter like someon already said, this limit job only made to play crucible, that make it no better than phantom job in occult

It did and really didn't, because you had no aetherial mimicry, no way to generate or control aggro, bad healing besides white wind which consumed a gargantuan amount of MP.

So I agree it made it possible, but it also was a gigantic mess until BLU 60 was released.

Well, now I've finished all of the boards on normal and not once did a fight actually last long enough for me to pull off an infinitive combo.

Really feels like third degree is the only place where the mechanic might matter.

I've beaten two maps on 3rd degree and initially had the same thought but no, I've used universality once by accident while grinding pet ranks and thats it lmao.

Well, very underwhelming. Agreed. This was the only DT content I was looking forward to.


I am going to finish the MSQ and dip, and as Yoshi-P suggests, play other games.


I'll be back for EC don't worry!
