TBS breastplate has healing focus, Scratched Hide has no focus.  As far as pets go, mages have always had better pets.  I like the increase we get, and i know my pet is doing just fine by me.  I wouldn't complain about any increases, but he is in better shape than in the past

Devs don't read this board that we know of so post on EQLive forums.  And there's no way in hell a dev will respond to a post that makes as little sense as yours does.  Dropping the combative attitude, and presenting real facts would certainly help too.

There also is no one developer who works on any specific class....it just doesn't work that way.

Everquest was not designed for PvP and doesn't do PvP well.

ARE we  not the master of the pet class?

Not really.  Mages have always claimed that title.

Beastlords have gotten quite a few improvements in the last few expansions.  DPS has gone up tremendously, pets just got some much needed tweaks, SoF AAs are particularly good.

My only major complaint is the short duration of the group haste recourse.  Since SoF came out, it seems like bsts have been getting tapped as the slower for groups with greater frequency which generally means dealing haste also.  The recourse is certainly better than casting individual buffs, but gawd that duration sucks.

Either way you put this rant, its nothing then a misguided rant at best, there is no one singular dev on any one class, all share responsibilities and certain duties.  Nodyin for instance is the AA dev currently, as parthun is the spell dev, they deal with all of everquest, including content.

Bst are the best pvp class in the game atm, if you know what to use and how to use it.  There is only 1 class with a reasonable track record of beating bst.  Anyone care to guess?

[Inphared]

Paladin, Monk, Berserker, in that order.

[laissez]

Berserker is correct, i can beat monks and pal better geared and aa'd than my self every time with having over 60mana left.  Zerker's can out dps my healing, which makes it extremely hard to kill them. Well if there on your gear and aa level.  Infact monks dont even come close i actually ran my box clr out of mana healing a better geared monk during a dual.

[Inphared]

I'm not sure what kind of Paladins you duel, but it is infinitely harder to kill a Monk or Paladin compared to a Berserker. You can outrun the berserker during his disciplines and somewhat try and save yourself, but they can snare and stun you and that makes it very difficult.

Monks are infuriating because of their epic and mend. They can basically heal 60% of their hitpoints every three minutes while dancing around and knocking you around to interrupt your spells. They also have very decent DPS for a PVP setting so that makes them more difficult than a Berserker.

Paladins are the most infuriating to a Beastlord because our hits just don't par up to their AC, mitigation, and Ward of Tunare procs. You can do damage, but they can turn right around and heal it, while still slashing you or your pet for 1500 a hit.

[laissez]

Pal dps is extremely weak and doesn't even come close to the healing we can put out.  Monks- make them burn mend and epic, then burn.  Sure ive been beaten by monks but only TR monks.  You know how well there geared, and its only cause they can out dps my healing.

[Inphared]

Paladin DPS isn't famous, but healing is. The simple fact that a Beastlord cannot outheal a Paladin for any length of time makes them win.

Go duel Drayron and tell me how well you do.

[laissez]

I have a feeling he's not even close to being on par with my gear.  Being as hes a full 3 tiers ahead of me, i dunno but hes out there..  There is no doubt that a pal has worlds of better healing than a bst, but healing isn't the only deciding factor in dueling.  But basically pal dps+healing<bst dps+healing.
