I'm a bit conflicted about BM, since on the one hand I think it has some issues but on the other hand the fact that so many people hate it compels me to reevaluate that opinion just on the basis of statistics alone.

The thing that I'm most interested in for Beast Mastery is which character or enemy group will also get it?

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

Please do that then. Reppu already broke it down in pretty good detail. I use actual leveling and in game seat time with the set to make my posts about it and mid 40's it is still anemic and needs the work Reppu outlined.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

but I would hope warriors and carnies
carnies because animals fit thematically
warriors because they are so boring they really need something, and the natural animal allies would fit

Woodsman could use it - or they could revive Shadowhunter.

I keep reading the thread title as "Beat Mastery". I was thinking... what, a rhythm based set? How does that even work?
I didn't get enough sleep last night.

Nevertheless, judging powersets based on the level of complaint about them would have led you to the incorrect conclusion almost always.

Actually, Devoured animals would be a nice touch for the DE. A warped "wolf" with face tentacles, say.

WHY DID SOMEONE SAY MY NAME IN A BEAST MASTERY THREAD AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Yeah you know the drill. I want to love this set, I can't mechanically.

I mentioned you because someone was implying the reaction to BM was an overreaction. I was just pointing out that you have already broken the numbers down, which matched the in game lack of performance of the set overall.
