BST is a sad, sad job these days.
Pull out dipper, wear full twilight for unlimited RR, and go into dyna!
I used to respect BST, now I hate them with a passion.
If you do a search, there's more BSTs than any other job now.
Same here, I hate bst so much now.

The Eft jug pets can use Geist Wall (Frontal Dispel), too.

[...] Bst is a solo job like so many pointed out, so we solo then ppl complain. But then no one wants to accept us to a ls,pty or event then complain when we take everything. So make up ur mind, accpet us or watch us solo.
I m sorry but you wrong ,some ppl/LS accepted the BST before the lvl cap 80 unlocked, now its different, now a lot of stupid guys up BST to do Dyna to do money/relic and make the other hate BST jobs
there are no respect between BSTs when you do Dyna , now
If they can stole your second mob (proced or not but Yellow name) they do
When you saw that in dyna , WS on your second mob ,because he is proced and to 20% HP , sorry , you begin to hate BST

and if you are a old BST player (since 2005 like me) , you fear for the future of BST job

I have to agree with TopHat Wamoura. The removal of Dispel from the Hippo pet was pretty stupid. They could have made it so that randomly removes 1-3 buffs or something.
And I fear for you guys Xoraken. 2005 BST here as well.

So am I the only one that thought that the level 99 BST ability would let you use pankraton critters?

Why are so many people complaining about bst in end-game. It was honestly never really an end-game job to begin with. Why? SE said bst is (and honestly, it really is) a SOLO job.... It does well on some mobs (mostly in aby these days), but that's unfortunately about it. If you want a good end-game job, just level something else, or get a farsha... That pushes bst to at least decent. Or if you're crazy dedicated, an Aymur (is that what its called...? think so... mythic axe lol) bst is pretty much locked into pdt or eva axes now, any other axes are misc.. just saying
you wouldn't use those in an end-game environment where there are real tanks..so you'd use a DD axe..............at least I would hope you would.

Most conventional spells will over write blu spells, despite the blu version being more potent.

Yeah which is extremely annoying when trying to use Magic Barrier with a whm that has afflatus solace or similar events.

All they would need to do is re-innervate charm somehow. 90% of BST just do the robotic "lets get all the pdt- gear and x2 zoraal's and were good" and know nothing about charm/cycling pets. Its sad for us true BST. Also, that 90% may be closer to 95%.

I do. I loved soloing NM's and having to cycle your pets and not let them die so they can regen. It made some fights pretty epic.

I have some additional follow up information on this topic:
11-30-2011 06:27 PM | Rukkirii | Community Rep |  |
| Greetings and thank you for your patience! We received some information regarding your feedback that is being discussed here, so I wanted to make sure you all saw it.
Quote: The frog pet will be useless for damage. If it’s a mascot pet, it should be able to be called in town. The intention of adding the toad to beastmaster’s pet array was to include a fun, mascot-type pet that you could walk around with. Due to this, its fighting proficiency has been set low.
I understand everyone’s requests to make it possible to call this pet in towns, but currently if it is not a specially created battle area, such as Al Zhabi, it is not possible for monsters to enter. In the case that we allowed players to summon their pets within towns, the number of characters in these areas would increase significantly and would exacerbate congestion problems, similar to what Port Jeuno has been experiencing. For this reason, calling pets within towns is not easy and we appreciate your understanding on this.
Quote: Why can’t Apkallu receive Yawn when Nazuna has Sheep Song and doesn't require having a player face it in order to use? Also, why is Frigid Shuffle considered overpowered when there are other classes and pets that can use Paralyze (Soporific). We decided to cut the abilities that inflict status ailments to enemies due to the fact that we have armed Apkallu with high HP, Subtle Blow, Counter, Store TP, and a special form of attacking.
If you are looking to paralyze your opponent, please consider using the Coeurl familiar. (The Dev. Team would like beastmasters to select their pets based on the situation and battle strategy.)
Quote: Why is Nihility Song considered overpowered when PUP automatons have a Dispel attachment, which does not cost TP and has no Ready timer. I am upset that Jetattura is being removed. I do not feel that these abilities are overpowered and wish the Dev. team would just adjust the abilities instead. The opinion that these abilities are not overpowered is a subjective take on the situation. In order for the Dev. Team to look into this they would like more specific evidence. The reasoning behind calling it overpowered is because Hippogryphs are already armed with a high rate of evasion, triple attack, and very powerful special attacks. Adding abilities that inflict Dispel and Terror would make them too powerful.
In the case you would like to use Dispel, we recommended using the Eft familiar.
Quote: I’d like the Adamantoise pet to have Headbutt to help with being a tanking pet, since it seems like that is this pet's purpose. We are planning to adjust Adamantoise a bit more. Though we will not be adding Head Butt, we are looking to increase the power of Aqua Breath a bit.
Quote: Since there is only one level 96+ jug pet scheduled for implementation, does that mean we will be able to tame and charm pets in upcoming content? As written in the job adjustment manifesto, the focus of adjustments currently will revolve around familiar pets. |

Phoenix.Cathaldus said: »Didn't they basically already say that? Yea, but there has been an issue in the smn and bst threads.
SMN can't use any of its abilities or anything, and people were being inappropriate (not really sure how, just the wording the devs used) and locked the thread while SE was trying to help figure out the problem.
BST is also getting upset because they want more from their update, and SE just gave them a bunch of pets they don't even want to use now lol.
It is moments like this that I smile when recalling all the times people have said:
You actually quoted from ffxiah?
At least this isn't as bad as the stuff on ffxiah...
ect.
I don't see that kind of bs here.
Quote: As Camate recently posted in the Test Server thread regarding SMN bloodpacts, we are aware of the issue and are escalating it to the dev. team. I understand the frustration about not being able to check out the new content immediately, and we apologize for the trouble caused, however this is simply the result of an unintended issue.
That said, I will be locking this thread as there are numerous inappropriate comments being made. As I mentioned, I understand the frustration but please try and keep the tone and content of the comments constructive.

first of all i cant believe ppl are QQing about the Hippogryphs not having dispel or Jetattura. its a very powerful high evasive pet with very nice abilities /fast attacking pet as well.. unlike yuli.., don't pretend to have everything in 1 single pet.. or else all pets will be useless,'
QQing about Adamantoise not having headbutt srly? hardened shell is enough for me. toad pet being summoned on towns JUST NO, that will lag too much specially on port jeuno and now with the bandwagon bsts wearing pearle /twilight gear full time all over

Aqua breath on the adamantoise did 1100, and it hits pretty damn hard from what a friend's told me, and from what I could tell watching him, it didn't appear to be very slow either.

If you don't have a set of axes for pet tanking, and a set for str8 DD'ing do the world a favor.. use Run Wild on yourself
At least then you'll be gone in 10 minutes...

A: if you're pulling hate off dedicated tanks they suck.
B: You're not standing around DD'ing. You run in to proc then gtfo. Only DD's standing around full time tp'ing are a few select heavy DD's.
C: Sounds like you need to do some more of that seeing/experiencing you mentioned.

bst do take off hate from any dedicated pld on vw by just sending pet away and dding for 1-2 mins i seen this tons of times with good plds from my server
