Ok, 2 more runs and we're now getting at least 1/2 wins pretty easy.

No, I don't think anyone was parsing. Just from "eyeballing", the pet accuracy was kinda crappy for everyone. Maybe around 50-60% accuracy. Luckily, it was enough for the BST pets to keep attention away from the SMNs each time they ran in to use BP.

IMHO, a COR would have really come in handy, especially for the Taru. As for the other fights, probably a GEO would really help.

I definitely see the value in having a GEO, but with Taru warping around constantly, it seems like it would be a Luopan nightmare.

Indeed, that's why I said for TT, COR would be the better option. Now, if GEO got a new Indi spell that enhanced Pet Accuracy for the masters within it's effect......that would be freaking epic.

Makes me want to switch servers. SMN and BST are my favourite jobs.

That's awesome. I haven't had very much solo time though lately due to constantly doing Delve and AA's (and now more Chapters), etc, but I absolutely love BST. It will be the first job I gear up with Reforged Relic. I got my Ankusa Gaiters last night and have everything I need for the hands, but I'm going to hold off until SE fixes the typo on the HQ. I can't seem to shake the OCD in me regarding that.


I just wish they would of added acc/att to reforged bst stuff also.

Well hopefully this will help when fixed on accuracy:

Greetings,

In the event you've been using the /checkparam command to check on the amount of pet accuracy, you may have noticed that pet accuracy from equipment caps out at 30. We've confirmed that this is in fact a bug. We apologize for the inconvenience and this will be addressed in the March version update.

Ment for the bst themselves and not their pet.

I am talking pet accuracy. I can put together a ton of accuracy for my bst wear gear that should give my pet higher hit rate that is capped at 30 which is an issue.

Last night, due to an epic fail by one of the members of the party, we had to 5-man AA Hume on Normal. Won in 21 minutes with a 2 BST, 3 SMN setup.

Mijin Gakure nearly got us though! Close, but a win is a win.

Both BSTs were able to summon Lv. 119 pets. Their accuracy seemed a little better, but they were still whiffing a bit.

Also, since Hume's evasion is a bit higher, the SMNs were using magic based BP Rage. Specifically, Garuda's Wind Blade. Gib wasn't though, since he can summon Lv. 121 Avatar, he kept using Ifrit's Flaming Crush for large amounts of damage.

The only problem that arose was the SMNs slowly kept building up hate. AA Hume finally broke off of the BST pets, whacked down the SMNs, then re-focused on the BST pets. So for the last 40% of the fight, all 3 SMNs were weakened. It was still enough to get the win though.

If there is a way for SMN to create either an -enmity set, or something to dump enmity (maybe use merit points for -enmity) that would help tremendously.

Did they stay at max BP range? I never had trouble with hate on my smn unless I got to close weird on the hate unless they was curing or doing dot damage as well.

I haven't heard about level 121 Avatars. How does he do this?

Quoted for truth. It's actually Lv. 119 Nirvana + Seraphicaller (Lv. 119 SMN Satchet) combo that enables a SMN to summon Lv. 121 avatars.

No, we had to run into range to use the BP Rage JA, then pull back. I'm not 100% sure, but just simply using the job ability generates a small bit of enmity. You could see it happening after a while. We'd run in, use JA (BP Rage) and AA Hume would start to move toward the SMN that used the JA, but stop.

Eventually it got to the point the SMN's enmity was greater than the enmity from the 2 BST pets. SMN would get two-shotted, then AA Hume would be right back onto the BST pets.
