BST role in Divine Might

[UnnamedGalka]

I helped out with yet another Divine Might run the other day (first time doing it as a BLM...very fun), and I realized something - I've seen every job go through DM except for BST.

So I was wondering...any BST out there who's done DM? What was your role and which jug pet did you use and why? I also wonder if a BST is capable of kiting an Angel.

Curious minds want to know! ^_^

Of course. Go Bst/Whm. Normally it takes at least 2 Bsts to do this BC.

Load up on pet food and enhance reward gear.
Use high defense jugs. Best would be Panzer or CC.

Bst's duty is to hold/kite AA PLD. 2 Bsts can hold and kite EV AA back and forth from stairs to BC entrance for a long enough time for the rest of the alliance to take out the remaining 4 AAs.

Just remember to 'Heel' pet out of detection range or EV AA is going to come after you instead.

Hmm...it's interesting that a duo BST can hold EV while her buddies are killed by the rest of the alliance. I've always been amazed with their unique kiting ability.

But what if your pet gets Spirits Within'd? Just summon another one, I'm guessing? And when does Familiar come into play, if at all?

I've never run into situations where pets get hit with spirits within. While kiting, EV tends to do other skills and JA, which is why I believe spirits only happens when you're actively trying to kill her.

If it does happen, you still have your partner to hold EV with their pet while you summon (or wait for timer) another pet. Remember to bring a lot of +reward items.

As for using familiar on a jug pet...it's useless. It's more useful on charmed pets. But I guess if you want to 2hr your jug pet when everything has been stabilized and everyone is focused on killing EV, then go for it.
