So I finally had time to sit down with the beastmaster job and try it out last night. So far it's one heck of a "love/hate relationship". Let me explain!!
Love
I find it amazing that I can charm a tough and use it to fight other toughs for me. What a great way of getting Xp. Also knowing the Beast Strenght Chart really helps, but not only that, trying out different mobs on mobs helps as well. For instance, charming a Giant Bee in East Sarutabaruta was ftw last night. I took out crawler after crawler after gob after crawler I learned very quickly though to keep my target on the bee at all times in case he became uncharmed. This allowed me a quick macro charm to keep him on my side.
It's also very thrilling to use beastmaster. It's not worth it really to charm anything that's a decent or below, because lets face it, I want to fight toughs and they just aien't tough enough. Its so heart pounding to tell your crawler to attack another crawler, then in the process lose the charm, try to recharm and it fail. This results in both crawlers linking together to attack you. As I was running, I waited for the cool down time of charm and BAM!!! recharmed my crawler. Survived so many times last night by the just a little bit.
Hate
There is only two things I hate about this job. One is the xp is kinda slow. Its to be expected though. This is one of the "solo" jobs, so I didn't expect it to be a sinch getting from 1 to 75. But seriously even with the new updates on EP and DC mob Xp, it still took me like 4 hours to go from lvl 1 to lvl 9 last night.
The other thing I hate is the dying, which correlates back to the first thing I hate. I died more times last night than I've ever died in this game...period. It's ridiculous how much I died.
So all in all, I give Beastmaster a 8/10 rating for a job based on first impression. This may change down the road, but we'll see. So far it's looking for the better :D
