Smn can nerf enemy TP
PuP kind of bypasses enemy mechanics and enmity by standing far out of range
Why not let BST be able to disable enemy abilities? >_>
If they choose to make BST a one trick pony instead of giving it the extensive rework it needs. Then that’s at least better then a just a re-skinned Mandragora and Ladybug.
Would be nice if they make every mob charmable.
For erinys charm all the boobs and have them kill Erin.
Charm all albumen adds and have them kill him etc.
I know I'm talking nonsense but it would be interesting.
Longer Amnesia working on everything would be totally broken. If you use mewing you still need to limit tp feed. With Amesia you could put 10 DDs on the mob and zerg it without limits.
Well, the digest states that the Mandragora is just a skin and otherwise identical and the Lucani, from the sounds of it, has identical TP moves to the Ladybug.
So unless they've got good stats neither seems to be doing much
Edit:
Just looked at the mandy pet, can confirm that it seems to be identical to Hermes, except it's defense is even lower.
Looks like my BST stays retired. Shame, really. SE killed the job with the distance nerf, much to the joy of a certain Blue Mage originally from Leviathan who now resides on Asura.

They went and gave us another joke pet. At least Brave Hero Glenn won't be lonely!
Thank you for your hardwork Falkirk. For anyone negatively impacted by this awfully deceptive Beastmaster "adjustment", please take a moment to Like this post and say so in the FFXI November Digest thread. It's currently at 15 likes. Here's to hoping that SE responds with some humility and an ernest attempt at properly adjusting Beastmaster:
I find it hilarious how they consider this a “job adjustment” for Beastmaster. If that’s the case, anytime new gear is added to the game that Beastmaster can equip it should be considered a “job adjustment”.
Deals physical damage to enemies within a fan-shaped area originating from pet. Additional effect: Accuracy Down. (Accuracy-50 for 30 seconds.) Damage varies with TP.
Impaction

Deals physical damage. Additional effect: Stun. (Sacrifices a certain % of pet's HP.) Damage varies with TP.
Fusion
Impaction
Damage types for melee attacks and Ready moves are identical to their Ladybug counterparts.
However, for skillchain properties:
Disembowel is Impaction, and
Extirpating Salvo is Fusion/Impaction.
Confirmed with Contagion Shield that the Accuracy Down effect is Accuracy-50 which lasts for 30 seconds.
It could be intentional, but... I think they got the MaxHP modifiers backwards. The NQ Weevil has more HP than the HQ version:
