Killer Instinct: The Beastmaster Compendium

Just to follow up on that, MNK counterstance ,which is super hard to maintain for the same reason even with 80% counter rate and MNK huge HP pool, is -50% def. So yeah..

As weird as it is, BST is actually on quite a few HTH weapons including Karambit from Ambu. I guess SE thinks BST/MNK is viable for something lol.

By the way, what kind of numbers can BST put out using Fernagu with R15 Aymur Primal Rend or R15 Farsha Cloudsplitter and BiS MAB gear as well as no other buffs? Obviously those WSs won't be useful everywhere, but given that an Idris GEO can nearly double magic WS damage with Malaise it might honestly perform better in party settings than Decimation/Mistral/Calamity even with Rage+Frailty because of the PDIF cap and lack of abilities and traits that jobs like WAR have. And you won't risk dying as easily from the -60% Defense.

Of course, it'd be kind of a shame to waste the buffs from your pets, but at least you aren't reliant on Charmer's Merlin anymore and you can melee to your heart's content while firing off Ready moves every 10s.

Is there a new simple lua for beastmaster (like the one beaztmaster made)? Since ready is now instant, I haven't been able to adjust the old lua. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Okay so messing around with Waterwall its either bugged or Falkirks testing was off cause I've had Waterwall last over 8 minutes but the duration seems...wierd, almost like TP doesn't matter or its choosing it randomly.

Edit- Had it last from anywhere from 2-8 minutes all with random amounts of TP.

Anyways, question about monster correlation: does it not affect pet magic damage bonus vs the appropriate predation? I ask because i was trying out Patrick last night vs vermin and beasts and noticed the same damage. Even using empyrean+1 mask net the same damage. Or does monster ecosystem correlation only affect intimidation and damage is not included?

Thanks, but what about just normal correlation? Shouldn't lizard fire damage deal more vs vermin than beasts? Or magic damage exempt from the calculation. According to the empyrean, it may very well be just physical but I wanted to be sure.

Thanks

As of the January adjustments, gear swapping cannot keep up when used after “/pet” commands. This isn’t limited to just beastmaster, but rather tied to equipment that apply effects at a specific timing. Even if a particular macro functions correctly, (for instance, equip recast reduction gear, then execute a command, then swapping to another gear are all executed) it doesn’t go as far as to guarantee the activation of equipment effects. However, in this case there were some pet abilities where there was enough time to change equipment, which currently don’t function as they had before. This particular change wasn’t intended and will be addressed.

Next is the question of determining the activation time.
“/equipset” has always been a command that takes time between execution and actually applying the equipment. Changing the activation time to match this would mean a delay of 75 frames, which would be the same as summoner.
However, this would make the overall activation time slower than before, and would result negatively for players who don’t change equipment.

On the other hand, “/equip” command executes in 60 frames and is considerably faster than “/equipset”. There have been many abilities that were 60 frames, and so this would probably feel similar to how it was previously.

This time we’re planning to make adjustments using the latter idea. Should we receive a large amount of feedback that gear swapping doesn’t work or players who prefer to use /equipset instead, we’ll consider changing it to be the same as summoner, at 75 frames. Please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Regarding ability ranges, as we’ve mentioned multiple times in the past, we are not considering making changes. The January 2020 adjustments are meant to encourage beastmasters themselves to fight on the frontline, so we’d like you to find a way to work together with your pets.

The editors does an amazing job keeping that page up to date.

EDIT: I did just think of a workaround though. But it's a little weird.
So if the vanilla player makes their ready move damage set as normal, but has Desultor Tassets in the leg slot...
Code
1
2
3
/equipset [damage+Tassets set] echo <wait 0>
/pet [readymovecommand] <me> <wait 0>
/equip legs [the damage pants]

Then that should function within the parameters of the 60s delay come February update in ~2wks.

The macro you suggested is exactly what I would have had in mind when I get around to making it (non GS user here), but may I ask why you are including <wait 0> and how does that function? It should fire off after the proposed changes to 60fps without that wait 0 included, but I just want to know what is the difference between <wait 0> and no wait (for my own personal knowledge, please).

Thanks Fae

wait 0s are "immediate when finished" cues
