    I loved BST. Took it to cap as my second job after rdm. And it was not at all because of the guide haha. Just a great job to solo. After lvl 30, I always made sure my weapon was between 5 and 10 levels lower than I was to help prevent stealing hate from my pet. And I used jug pets and healing food all the time. I was a cook so it was cost effective to craft and sell extras to fund my adventuring. Also, I think the guide listed /brd because people may have considered it so much thinking the chr boost would be a great idea. Awesome video man! Thanks for the memories.

    I was a Galka BST and a Tarutaru BST across retail and private servers. While it was significantly easier to charm things on Taru, Galka BST just felt right. It's kinda like how Tauren are Druids in WoW. When duoing it was almost always /WHM or /NIN. The best thing about BST was how many BCNMs you could easily solo and sell drops for profit.

    Pet used to reduce exp for a pt/solo, so if u/leave pet before the kill u whouldnt recive exp penalty. Fix where mobs whould dispawn was made to prevent MPK because after pet was released it whould slowly walk back to its original spawn point, I personally killed few parties who envaded my camp while exping.

  • @askask1157
    @askask1157 3 года назад +6

    I was a Galka Bst/Whm before DNC existed for a sub. I feel like every time I charmed something it built up this hate. Because I would have so many failures. We would do duos and trios sometimes. If you didn’t drop your pet quick enough the xp penalty sucked. Soloing I deleveled several times as Galka. Just the misfires were so costly and before despawning it was a blood bath lol. We used Tuna Sushi+1 for charm boost especially for 2-houring. You wanted to grab an IT to Familiar that was our best chance. I heard Rdm was the better sub then and some of my friends did /Nin. I only did /whm. See you live Huntin! -Frozendragon77

  • @rotho4959
    @rotho4959 3 года назад +3

    How beastmaster affected XP in parties or solo back in the day. There were two things to consider, the level of the charmed pet relative to the highest leveled character in the party (or BST if solo) and whether or not the pet was still charmed when the target was defeated. If the pet was higher level than the highest member of the party, you would get XP based on the pets level, even if the pet was no longer charmed when the target died. This was rarely an issue because most of the time you wouldn't use a Tough or higher level mob as a pet due to charm duration issues. The second issue was the more important one. If the pet was still charmed when the target died, it would count the pet as an extra party member and the XP would be adjusted down because of it. The Leave ability fixed that issue so even in classic FFXI the pet would not affect a parties XP as long as the BST left the pet before the target died. This is also why solo BST would hold their TP until the target was almost dead because they would need to leave their pet just before the target died to get full XP. The weaponskill was intended to be the finishing move and missed or a subpar damage WS could often lead to death. It's also why using sound aggressive pets was typically more dangerous than sight aggressive pets. It was easier to position yourself to avoid 'Leaved' pet aggro by smart positioning with sight aggro pets. It's also why it was a risky idea to use the same type of pet as the target prey if it used the link mechanic.

  • @cmanmaxwell
    @cmanmaxwell Год назад

    BST was the knight in shining armor in my days. I remember the first time I saw SE's mass RMT ban of 20k+ player accounts. It was a huge announcement and it started the trend for Bst's camping RMT fishers in Quifim.
    They were also like a restaurant "Chef", basically if you pissed them off they could; for lack of better term, "spit in your food". They would drop monsters they knew were VT+ on top of parties, it was a crazy time but after the despawn patch came out, Bst finally found some stable footing for their reputation.
    Then there was the legenday BST only Linkshell, KillerInstinct.
    These guys were what every Bst main wanted to be, a guild full of only Beastmasters, and a couple WHM and PLD for support. FFXI truly had some amazing events made by the players using the tools given to them.

    It has its ups and downs and I've seen the floor more times then I can count but it will always be a super fun job to play and I got to experience a few really fun BST parties.

    The part about BST being a bad subjob is actually not true. I remember the charm success rate actually still went through depending on the max level of your BST even subbed. My friend and I spent a lot of time duoing as DNC/BST when WotG came out and it worked out really well.

  • @hiflyer000
    @hiflyer000 3 года назад

    I loved BST, it was my favorite job in FFXI by far.
    I leveled it to 75 on 4 different characters, each a different race and using a different leveling path to get there. My first 75 BST happened before ToAU came out, and was far and away the toughest to max out. I did my second after ToAU was released and the path from 62-75 was exponentially easier thanks to exp/Sanction bonuses and great camps. My 3rd I leveled as much as I could in WoTG, which was quite challenging but a great experience nonetheless. My final one I just used all the best/favorite camps still in existence after they raised the level cap and adjusted mobs in many zones.
    One thing I really miss was being able to solo/farm things that most other jobs needed a full party for. Soloing stuff like Despot, and Ancient Goobue, duoing Hakutaku, taking down Jormy with a pet alliance. So many fun times I'll never be able to experience again.

    I remember that originally, Mob AOEs would hit other players. This was real fun in places like Garbage Shitadel when fighting Bombs.
    Boom! multiple parties wiped out by a single BST... good times, good times. (note, I'm NOT talking about MPK. No matter how far from everyone else you pulled the Bomb, eventually a party or two or three would camp right on top of you).
    I also remember that /BST was totally broken. after dinging 75 BST solo, I decided to solo WHM/BST and to my delight, at 75, WHM/BST was basically 75WHM/75BST.
    Edit: I was a Galka BST. It had it's ups and downs. On the upside, in a duo/trio/party "wipe", my Galka arse would often be the only man left standing.
    On the downside, solo, it often went "Mis-charm....mis-charm...mis-DEAD.

      @@CodyRockLee13 sorry for my wall of text but wanted to give my full take. I didn’t like the directions the server was going. For a short back story Eden used to be called kupo but the person running that made a decision in the dead of night to stop running the server so someone called godmode took over. When godmode was running the server it was 100% fine he left after a year and a half. The people running the server in my opinion have left the toua era vision and Eden is now a custom server. At one point they implemented a era committee but would not release who was on it. Many people suspected that at the time it was people that was in a ruling endgame shell had been on this committee. The reason is something was deemed era by them and then after a few months once they exploited what was deemed era leveling jobs and alts quickly it was all the sudden no longer era and removed. A large backlash did happen and the committee was disbanded but in my mind the damage was done. I have know idea if money changed hands but to me it showed the people running the server can be bought for the right price. On top of that at the time all the GMs where all in the same ruling end game shell so the whole higher upper management seemed corrupted. It may have changed and gotten better but I have no idea I just went back to retail if Square opens a 75 era server I’ll play on that other wise eden put a bad taste in my mouth with the political side of servers

    Having 75BST made leveling from 5 - 18 (MNK is better sub from 1 - 4 for the H2H skill) on other jobs much more enjoyable with the ability to charm just as well as a BST main. What I mean by this is my level 12 NIN could charm the same mobs as my level 12 BST, and I was soloing VT - IT all the way up to 20 and skip the dunes. It's a really unique aspect of the job and RDM/BST or WHM/BST is a viable combo at 75 because of this mechanic, not to mention the amount of CHR+ gear for mages.

    Pets only lowered the parties exp if you charmed a wild monster and attacked your exp monster with it. Brady butchered the explanation on this. If you charmed an even match or lower monster, the party took no hit. If the Beast master only used a jug pet, the party took no exp hit.
    Once more for the people in the back: BEAST MASTERS DID NOT LOWER THE PARTIES EXP EVER IF THEY USED A JUG PET OR A EVEN MATCHED OR LOWER PET!
    Because of this guide, one of the best dps/puller jobs was left out of the party system.
