DIABLOS!! That's pretty badass.
Also, I like DRG new 2 hour. I'm sure that RNGs, DRK/WARs and BLMs worldwide is gonna like it too ^^.

Too bad that stopped the disengage trick supposedly with this patch.

I'm sorry but I hate this. SE is nerfing the solo-capability of bsts. I took up bst because I was sick of LFG, and dealing with parties. Now it looks like BST will be forced to dealing with that crap.

BST was the only saving grace for me in-game. If this update is as bad as others think it will be, then I'm done with this ****, plain and simple. I'm tired of SE ******* up the job system, and I'm tired of SoE and their GM *********

/end rant

uh.... no. they did not "nerf" bsts in any way. all they did was make them a little better in a party situation. you can still solo allll you want. this just gives us bsts another option as far as lvling goes

Yeah, but I don't care about alternatives. It's very possible that the leave ability has been nerfed due to the MPK countermeasures. If what everyone is saying comes true, then you can't leave a pet, let it regen, and charm it again to fight another mob.

Wonder when SE is going to give Thief a spot in the spotlight...

Our AF2+1 is complete garbage...

Upgrading the entire set gives you +1 dex +1 agi and +10 enmity.

Now you can hit 1/2 as strong for 2x the hate -_-.

In other words, you transfer just as much hate as you normally would, but you do **** damage to the mob.

I'm still going to get the upgraded set if its free though because it'll make newbs go crazy...

I'm sorry Taku. I hear that Leave despawns the mob. I tell ya, on FFXI, no job is safe from a nerf AKA adjustment. What job is next?

Well that does it, I have reached my limit with SE and SoE. I'm going to WoW.

WoW = fail. played it for a month and got disgusted. you reach the lvl cap in a month if you play it nearly as much as most people play FF. the graphics are goofy and cartoony. and the jumping around **** makes PVP fighting look ridiculous. but its your decision i guess =(

Meh, on second thought I don't think I'll be playing WoW either. I'll wait till .hack online comes out. It already has good things going for it. SE isn't involved, lol.

SE's problem is "fixing" things that ain't broken. And breaking things that ain't fixed.

Yes, SE is notorious for being lazy when it comes to resolving in-game issues. Instead of surgically solving the problem of MPK, they utilize a blanket solution that creates just as many problems as it solves. Also, it pisses off a segment of the FFXI community as well(BST).

Same thing could be said about 3rd party programs. Instead of SE trying to create countermeasure for hacks, they just break the windower instead.

i think the problem with SE is that there "development team" is just a lot of dumbasses. All the suggestions we send them for improvements must be translated badly or some crap.

SE sucks balls. I played the game for almost 2 years. They only started to pay attention to its users when lots moved to WOW. SE doesnt give a ****. Blizzard seems like a nice company just they have a **** product =/

Making Bst's get 100% xp from a called pet I think is a wonderful idea. It will give people an advantage of being in a party if they chose to be.

The disadvantages of that is that now a person can get BST to 75 without ever having to truely learn how the job works. Nothing teaches you more about linking and hate then being knee deep in a group of 6 aggro/linking mobs and being able to fight your way out or grabbing only the pet you want without getting your *** handed to them.

It's also going to bring a whole new way of doing bsts. You've hated Mana burn parties, you've hated Arrow Burn parties, now look out, you're going to have Jug Burn parties. :p

That being said the whole leave/mob vanishing mess up just sucks.

oh **** nuke i never even thought of that. 6bsts + 6 jug pets = absolute ownage. that could quite possible be the fastest xp ever lol

You guys should read Spinshark's thread on the BST situation, in the Main forum. The whole pt bst thing isn't really that great. I think SE screwed themselves royal.
