Bee familiar (can i have it?)

[pearlsea]

This idea was kind of inspired from the highest pet damage thread, would adding a Bee familiar make us better for partying? A final sting every once in a while would boost our damage alot and would make us better on god fights without the cactus pets, If the ingredients were a few beehive chips or if they want to make a set of ToAU jugs they can make it the new type of beehive chips i can easaly see this replacing carrie for 65+ beastmasters.

By and large, I LOVE it when I get to use bees as pets. The only problem I have with them (and the idea of a bee jug) is that sometimes a bee will use Final Sting when the still have like 85% of their life left. This might do massive damage to the mob we're fighting, but not enough to where we can just melee it down.

A jug bee that uses Final Sting @ 75% health would SUCK due to the fact that you could (conceivably) go through a stack of jugs in no time flat.

This just goes back to my dreaming of being able to control which TP move a pet performs. Probably never gonna happen, but it's a pretty dream.

And then, when you actually want them to do Final Sting, they just keep using Pollen. Oh boy, my pet bee got some HP back mere seconds before I was going to be Leaving it anyway

Eeeeeeeeeeexactly. Pollen is nice and all when you're starting the fight, and would love for your pet to stick around for a while. But towards the end, Final Sting, {Yes, please.}

It'd be really nice if they could add something along the lines of after a certain % of HP, the pet has a chance to use Final Sting...like, after 40%, then Final Sting actually goes into the options of a ws, and before hand, it's not even in the mix...that'd be cool :D

lol what >.>; the whole point of the bee familiar is to do a 100% hp final sting on a HNM or in a merit party, not solo.

Well I'm still new to BST, but I think an even better asset would be if they allowed us to SC with Sic. I mean they already made alot of the monster ws SC-able with the introduction of BLU, I don't see why they couldn't let us do it with BST except for maybe the randomness to Sic.

I totally agree, this is one of the things i really wanted ever since i did a self skillchain with pup a few days after the job was added, and i really hope they add it in the next update because there has been a lot of talk about this in the beastmaster community, and combined with selective sic (with timer changed to 1 minute) and you have a DD combo that can rival non riddle war if you have 3/3 beast affinity with monster gloves using fungy pets, and equipping a temperance axe and most of the standard DD gear.

I think they should leave the Sic timer the same, but make Sic so that you can select which TP ability to use. Also, make trait or ability (Sic Affinity? at lvl 40 for BST only) that allows PC's to SC with the pet.

Sic is still on a long timer so we can't spam pet abilities like BLU can.
