Seems like it would be the perfect fit, being that SE wants BST to be a front line job, melee'ing with axe and shield. And not only should it have fencer, but it should have -dt for both pet and master.
What do you think?

Why doesn't BST have a fencer shield again?

What do you think? don't forget -5 seconds for ready moves so we don't loose that from not using the axe
We can't ask for too much. Yes, we'll loose -5 ready delay, but we'll make up for in in damage from the additional fencer.

You might wanna check how fencer works, shield is not required.
This is not a post about how fencer works. This is a post asking why bst doesn't have a shield with fencer+ on it. I know the + isn't in the original post, but you should have read between the lines. The other guy got it.
You're being a troll. Your very first comment was an insult without even reading the post properly. If you want to troll this isn't the group for it.
Anyway, bst can use a good shield that focuses on defense for both master and pet, and increased damage in way of fencer+. With capped attack my calamity is hitting 25k and with store tp gear and capped haste, tp doesn't seem to be a problem.

Pet doing more dmg isn't really the point. The point is if SE wasn't blowing complete smoke up all our *** about us being frontline melees then how much we aren't getting more master related melee stuff and why is it still better 99% of the time to ignore the master and do what we've always done albeit on a very short leash?

SE is indeed blowing smoke up BSTs ***, for sure.
Most if not all ilvl content prevents Fencer builds from being viable for BST. Even in a group setting, all this would succeed in, is stressing out the WHM. Offline

I would say that most people don't engage because you need a good healer to stay alive. Perhaps more than 1. Proportionally very few players want to play the healer. Its hard to find a player to be the healer. Will I incur wrath to say its pretty boring? maybe its just an acquired taste... consequently, we use trusts for healers OR develop strategies to work around the lack. BST has been a long time job to work around this lack. Bst has long been a 'solo' job and largely avoids damage by sending just the pet, even though its outfitted to look and act like a warrior with a pet. SE has been trying to encourage bst and perhaps pup to engage more on 1 hand, but they seem to completely miss why players don't engage. clearlyamule said: » Odin.Drakenv said: » clearlyamule said: » Odin.Drakenv said: » clearlyamule said: » Pet doing more dmg isn't really the point.

They should just give bst healer pets. More rabbits with healing carrots!

Is this really a thing now? BST gets no fencer shield?
PUP can use dragon kick, tornado kick, and Victory Smite, which all have a kick attack in it. They don't get Kick Attacks job trait. GIVE PUPS KICK ATTACKS DAT MAKES NO CENTS inb4 somenoe roasts me for trolling: I'm trolling. edit^>: sub drk, use Maliya Sickle/+1, and spam Cross reaper.
