Are we there yet?

Re: Are we there yet?

From the Alla E3 2007 interview:
From POL, March 2006 Pre-ToA:
Remove EXP penalties for charming.
Make all jug pets uncapped.
No Timer on Jug Pet duration.
New Synthesis Recipies for existing high level HQ Jugs.
A reasonable drop rate for the jug materials.
Melee Job Traits.
Aside from the job trait desires, what could possibly need to be considered to adjust BST against another job class? Most of this stuff doens't even pertain to the other jobs.
DRG, PUP and SMN can keep thier pets out indefinately, we can't. They can control what their pets do to a degree that we can't. Two of the three struggle for invites along with BST. One is loved at endgame and the other two are unwanted along with BST.
If you're going to balance BST at all, balance it against DRG and PUP and improve all three together. There should be no waiting for adjustments on BST otherwise, not for this long. And not for WotG, not unless SE has yet another pet class in mind, which would be a terrible idea seeing how much of an afterthought BST is.
It really burns me that this job is not only made to wait behind all the others, its made to wait behind jobs that haven't even been added yet.

I read this on Ki a week or so ago. An it got me a little fumed. Bst was promised a tweak to make up for the way they changed the game play of Bst. An yet all i have seen them do is make popular endgame jobs even more popular.

Everything you mentioned OMGWTF is exactly what i was looking for from the Bst update. Hell i would have been happy if the only fix they did was loss of claim on pet swaps. But alas another year will pass we will see nothing. Then every other job will be tweaked, and then the new jobs an bst will be put off for another expansion.

You know WoW might be a boring ass shitty game. But Blizz atleast makes an effort to try an balance jobs, An they have it allot harder because they have PvP, PvE, Norm, an RP servers. So balancing a job for one server makes it stronger in another servers version. Not to mention they have to try an keep them balanced in the 10-19 lvl, 20-29 lvls an so on til 70.
