5k bst stoneskin is decent. Would rather the ability to call 2 pets out but what are you gonna do.

They could just uncap and make hate reduction ability timers much less than they are now, in fact, they could change a lot of things (timer wise) to increase the speed of battles and also allow a tank to, well, tank. I don't think your ideas are really the way to go about it Byrth.

They could make the game much more modern by allowing one person to continuously build their hate, while the DD's continuously work to output as much damage as possible while also not gaining aggro. There would need to be new abilities as well, abilities that could be subbed, or jobs roles redefined (What does WAR tank, and what does PLD tank, etc) You'd also you know, have to have skill to be successful as a DD.

5k? more like 2-2.5k right? it says half of their max HP.

its nice, but i'm not so sure if thats worth a 2hr timer. 100% of their max HP and I'd agree.

yeah 5k. forgive me I don't know where I got the 10k number from. It's an ok 2hr, but I don't really remember the last time i took a large portion of damage. Or enough i couldn't just waltz it away. I was never really hoping for anything amazing for bst anyways, so meh.

knowing them, they'll probably make the merit point category for BSTs new 2hr to raise the % HP converted to Stoneskin.
so if you cap it out, 100% HP or something.

i get the feeling a lot of the 2hrs are toned down just so they can be buffed with merits

**Tarage** · 2012-08-17 00:46

Because really, BSTs are the ones that need the most help right now.

**Chamaan** · 2012-08-17 01:23

Stoneskin's pretty bad considering a Bst is only going to get hit if his pet is dead. And this kills your pet to use it. That's kind of like trading someone your front door for a revolver because you're afraid of burglars.

And before anyone says "Use it when Call Beast is up and call a fresh pet," you KNOW this stoneskin will have a 60 second duration.

they do actually.
they only became gods because 76+ jug pets have great stats and overwhelm 75 content, and that their power is amplified in Abyssea due to atma being bestowed on both pet and master.

BST is useless in Voidwatch. useless in Nyzul Uncharted. useless in neo-Limbus. useless in Legion.

the only things they're useful in is old content. they're not relevant to the new end-game. at all.

and sadly, the new 2hr will do nothing for them in this regard.

Which is a pity, because Ruinator is a complete beast of a WS. No pun intended.

**Taint** · 2012-08-17 09:58

Thats awesome.

**Yukari** · 2012-08-17 11:35

Would sorely consider buying.

**Slycer** · 2012-08-18 02:23

In case you haven't seen it, some anti-wall-o'-text feedback from community team. Told you those guys weren't going to read long posts! Especially considering the thread has exploded and is already 34 pages long... keep it short and sweet.

Heh, not only they need to be told that something is bad/wrong, they also need help how to fix it?

**Apelila** · 2012-08-18 02:40

It helps to fill out why something is broken. If I told you "The electoral college is broken" and nothing else, it leaves out why I have that opinion. Other things don't require this level of detail, like if I told you "My ass is on fire". That should be self explanatory.

**Yugl** · 2012-08-18 05:23

What's wrong with your ass being on fire?

Most of the reports I have seen (at least from BG posters) on the official forums about things that are broken vary between fairly detailed to excruciatingly detailed with multiple examples.
