Beastmasters and Merit parties.. {Hmm...}

[Jojojo]

little off topic but I was seeing more bsts get pts more because of the snarl update, I think they're pretty good for ws > snarl or voke > snarl.

Has bst started getting invites at lower levels?

I dunno about getting invites, but they are a DAMN good DD before merit. Tiger/Funguar pets can parse 10% on their own. At level 66 I outparsed SAMs post-update, when they were strong.

Actually I've tried /war and /nin and I like /nin better. For some reason my rampages are higher, even than with berserk...I think it's because of the extra offhand hit and +4 STR / +1 base damage from mainhand Woodville's.

Though, I didn't parse actual DoT. Dual Wield II and suppa would make things awfully close.

Nevermind, answered by mistake
Delete please!

Yeah, I figured as much I only get to pt with a bst every blue moon and when I do it's pretty great, I was on smn in quicksand caves and we invited a bst that was outside the pt level gap, the pt went from crappy to awesome. Foxgloves was /nin and just using funguar and lullably melodia(not sure how well they parse) just raging axe> snarl, then the nin ni> ichi, tp again for raging axe > snarl, loop, etc. it was pretty good.

I was suprised because before this update people rarely gave bst a chance and I figured it was because of the update this was happening.

I just wish some of the broths like rabbit had a bit more to level left in them, they're pretty strong as well, but since most the prime exp targerts are vermin, aquans, and birds, lizards(doesn't cap at 75), amorphs(don't think we have any?) and birds(none again?) broths would work better right? I'm not really sure if the predator > prey relationship would make up for level or not.

That funguar is awesome, it's a pity he can't be level 75.

i believe the highest it can get (with full Beast Affinity merits and monster gloves) is 70... better then its soft-cap of 65

2 increase per bst affinity, so that's +6, making it 71 without Monster Gloves, then people think that gives an extra "Beast Affinity", so that'd make funguar 73'ish. I've tested it out a lot, and my funguars did actually do way more damage then my CC's could ever do, but had infinitely less HP/Def. So not the best tank, and you know how we used to do things, so that's why we prefered CC, but in this case i'd love to test out Funugars in a merit.

It's a pitty my bst is fully merited and i dont think i've ever merited with it in a regular burn pt XD

Lets see how ya parse sometime!

This isn't actually a merit PT, but I was in a 72-74 PT on Nyzul Mamools with my 73 BST and was doing very well damage wise. I parsed about 20% where LL parsed at 12%, bringing the 2 of us to 32% of the party's damage. The next closest was a SAM parsing at about 25% of the party's damage. It wasn't exactly an optimum PT, no BRD or anything, but I like think I did pretty well for myself.

We should Make a merit party sometime =)
