Master! Master!

I eventually did stop samurai-ing. Yes, it happened. And by "it" I mean "retards".

Retards happened. All over my samurai.

As soon as everyone jumped on the s-train, I got off at the next station: Beastmaster.

And I fucking loved it.

Not only could I control the forces of nature itself, forcing animals to fight their own family probably, but I had an axe.

Anyone even semi-informed on the history of Vikings knows that an axe is right good at shit murdering.

So, axe + pet = shit murdering +1

Of course, like any new job, it took some learning to master even the basics. And beastmaster had a lot of basics. And a lot of dying from mischarms.

Now, beastmaster is basically a solo job. But there were times when I would party. Naturally, people were hesitant. The Brady guide taught us that a beastmaster's pet can lower the party's exp. Oh no!

However, that was only for charmed pets at a higher level than the beastmaster himself, which I had to convince people was the truth, and not just some ploy to hemorrhage exp from their necks . Man, people blindly follow Brady like a Jeebus.

And what they didn't know was that summoned jug pets had no effect on party exp.

There was a lot of teaching to do.

But every party I was in as a beastmaster went awesomely. Even if my pet did use a random AoE skill and die horribly. They eventually fixed that with a patch, which was nice for us. Thank you, SE.

At higher levels, I was soloing murdering shit that other jobs would see and fall into the corner, sobbing and urinating uncontrollably.

Even high level NMs I could solo. Some harder NMs I would duo or trio with other beastmasters.

When my friend Luni became a puppetmaster, we murdered shit together a lot. Very, very effectively.

Eventually, people started jumping on the beastmaster train as well, however this job had an even steeper learning curve than samurai, and the retards were ousted all over the place. There was much rejoicing.

My beastmaster was 99 when I quit, and had a right good double axes for shit murdering, along with some nifty looking AF from the Abyssea areas.

If they add beastmaster to XIV, I'm going to jump on that train and ride it all the way to Awesomeville.

Population: Me.

And you too, I guess.
