Killer Instinct: The Beastmaster Compendium

It just despawns when released apparently unfortunately

Vyre's a galka?

/t Rooks take his mod status away

He says Apollyon & Temenos, but i saw nothing but beastmen in Temenos?

Hi iv been playing Bst for a few weeks now and I played way back when and I'm lost on what to even focus on everything has changed since then I'm not even sure if I should try to do damage at this point or just let my pet do it.
I think iv got a fairly decent starter gear but I'm stuck on what I should be aiming for do I focus on master gear like stp,ta,da all that stuff but I'm finding im stuck doing 5k while my pets do way more atm, tag buffet is dealing 14k to 17k while master is only doing 3 to 5k even with kaja axe from ambu, iv got jse armour to +1 and some ambu gear to +2 as i thought that would be a good starting point but after ambu iv lost track of what I can do without trying to make millions of gill to +2 my af jse trying to save for that at the moment, any help would be greatly appreciated

What content are you trying to do? what level of job points and master levels do you have?

at the very least you can get 2 mil gil per week selling off sparks and prize powders.
Otherwise selling off ambuscade loot is profitable also.

On lower level content your pet will be much more powerful, so if you need to complete missions, just pet is usually more than enough, but once the level gets higher, the pet does not scale as well.
You should definitely gear out master for tp and weaponskill sets.
Having pet open skillchain for master is one of the simplest and easiest ways to up your damage, as is taking advantage of killer instinct.

Domain invasion and Geas Fete can be used to cheaply fill in gear gaps w/ augmented stuff from oseem. Otherwise you can also get pieces from Alluvion Skirmish for taeon pet gear if Valorous is still too challenging. Unity is also a great source of gear and accessories.

you should fill in mostly WSD pieces for greater master weaponskill damage. Artifact hand, relic head, empyrean body, and various accessories.

It works for primal rend, cloudsplitter, calamity and mistral axe. Decimation is more of a multi-hit build. can use alot of Ambuscade gear for that, such as tali'ah body, Meghanada legs, and other multi-hit + attack pieces you can find.

Thanks for the information I'm sitting about 250jp total at the moment, content wise I'm doing odyssey, omen, vagary, geas fate stuff and sortie but I need to catch up on missions to do that.

Iv managed to unlock primal rend and merited runiator working on unlocking cloudsplitter at the moment, il start working on more master tp stuff and wsd iv got Val chest at this point from di and a few acc stuff for pet and master tp, other then the kaja axe are there any others i should aim for, i also have kumba for off hand I have two for pet tp bonus.

Once again thanks for the assistance.

Your biggest damage increase will come from getting Master BST (2100 Job Points). That explains why your damage is so low. From there it's all the other things mentioned which will make you stronger.

Odyssey and Sortie are significantly higher level content than Omen. Omen and Geas Fete are significantly higher level content than Vagary. Omen came out around the time JP level increased to 2100.

I was able to complete Omen successfully with a single pet party even at JP100 level, but I was on the weaker side of the group. (I was pup tanking quite a bit, or bst dd as it was a pet party setup) and Omen itself was a mild source of jp progress at the time. so I didn't stay 100 JP for long

Leveling up is going to be one of the biggest helps you can do. Getting into the master levels will be a HUGE boost. Just finishing your Job points will be a HUGE boost especially to your pet.

I recommend going thru all the missions for all the expansions. Some of the rewards for Seekers of Adoulin rings and Voracious Resurgence Rings are incredible. The neckpieces from each nation in TVR are also fantastic pieces for all jobs.

If you are doing sortie you should be able to get Reforged Empyrean armor +2 before too long. That is a HUGE boost from where you are, but not really specific to filling out the sets.

If you farm Malignance Armor set from Lilith fight on VE, its a long trudging process where you fight the Random number generator for drops, but not a big challenge and VE and the Malignance armor is your best option for tp set w/ fantastic evasion, magic evasion, and damage reduction. It makes a big world of master and melee open up.

These are tasks you should be able to approach currently which will see the biggest improvement in gear. Its hard to say if whether to chase levels or gear first, because each helps you gain the other more efficiently. When you get to master levels, and fill out master tp and wsd sets at least, it opens you for all the highest level content (though odc bosses and sortie basement are already highest level content)

I'm a big proponent of filling out the utility sets for my jobs.
Almost every job needs a fast cast set despite not being mages. (sub mage sub ninja, trusts) And an emergency Damage reduction set. Every set which makes your abilities more potent and/or efficient is a huge boon. It can easily make a difference in what you can accomplish.
MOST of the utility pieces will come from geas fete nm's or Unity NMs. Some are much more niche and you just have to dig till you find them.

Alright thank you for the help, il probably end up doing a mix of the two, by bringing my bst along to jp and events with the ls im in when i can and my corsairs not being asked for.
still though i greatly appreciate the assistance, thank you

This is probably already known/tested, but just stopping by to comment that Limbus Grace bonuses affect Jug Pets:



Currently on this server:
Accuracy/Magic Accuracy+10
Base Stats (STR/DEX/etc)+5 (adds 2~3 Accuracy/Attack/Evasion, ~7~8 Defense)
Max HP+250 (More potent Wild Carrot/Metallic Body)

I've had a bst in my back pocket for a while now, waiting for the time to start learning the in and outs of it while I solo it to master(at 950~ jp atm) and recently I started dabbling in dw vs fencer, but with bonanza shield being added, I committed to the fencer build. I've ran the sim and added some other gear options which helps, but it's typically a mix of malig and TA/QA gear, best I can run is bst/sam for just over 11sec for tp to ws. I tried Limbus the other day and it felt dreadfully slow as bst/war. I was looking around trying to find a way to boost my tp speed without just adding a cor in the mix and I saw this comment from a bit ago.


The best I can come up with is this(without adding valorous head or DM augs), but I'm at a loss for the last bit.The 8regain and 21% crit help me assume it was with r30 gleti and this set is 60% DA(including /war at sj55) and 13%15% TA, but I can't figure out where the other 5% DA and 3%1% TA can come from. I feel like I'm over looking some gear or stats hidden in augment paths.
ItemSet 399926

Gleti R30, Valorous DA+5 aug, Mantle DA+10

My goal is to reliably 3step solo with capped haste but, without a cor. Rn I feel like I'm even struggling to get the 2step. I tried to do some Cloudsplitter > Cloudsplitter in Apollyon Sw just to test bursting with bredo for fun but, it didn't go as expected.
(I don't have gleti r30, I'm just trying to figure out what the perfect build is and work backwards from there!)

Edit: After staring at the set I realized I did not math the TA right, is it just using Paeapua in the ammo, Shulmanu collar and a DA+5 aug'd valorous helm?

I made this set for DWing as a multi attack option, but it's kind of jank and has practically no defense and lacks a good bit of STP. I only used it to mess around and see how fast it could get TP on trash. (I have a QA+3 Valorous feet that I never tried out, forgot those had STP+5 on them). It was for my Ikenga/Barbarity+1 build

ItemSet 399533

Using your set as a base, you can use Malignance Chapeau for added tankiness and STP, or Skormoth Mask (or Crepuscular Helm if you have it) for TA. I wouldn't bother using that pebble for TA, Coiste is better. Sroda Earring/Gleti's Gauntlets are a good combo, but Malignance gloves have higher STP. Anu > Shulmanu. I prefer Null Shawl over Artio's, but I also don't prioritize max DA either.

Yea I agree with Coiste over the pebble. I'll mess around with Malig and Skormoth(No Crep yet) see which one feels better, same for the hands. The sim was pushing for Null so I plan to use that.

GenerousArthur was like if i'm going down
Your coming with me

ItemSet 389386

That was me.
The only difference (aside from what Buuki said already) is Fickblix ring, if you have it.
I'd love to use taliah manteel, cause its alot of TA, but multihit builds already have little survivability, so gleti wins.

For /war i just change hands with gleti and earring with sroda

Sim tends to favour STP when sam roll is not an option for most jobs and most subs, unless the piece has substantial MA and sub has no native MA.

MA only becomes more relevant when SAM roll is active in most cases.

Even with no DT parameters set, bst/war with agwu axe and aspis, no sam roll, this comes out on top.

Going to be honest I mainly use 5/5 Malignance or use 4/5 malignance with the Ambu +2 body.

Ideally I will use Gleti's Body/Legs once I get the RP/clears.

Pretty much a hybrid set

ItemSet 399705

Path B Axe - +50% Follow Up Attack
Cape is STP/Acc/Dex/-PDT

YMMV based on the weapon you use however. More or less it is an AM3 TP set.

Technically I don't really need the belt for haste. But it did turn out to have better for TP gain than say, wind buffet +1.

I desperately need Gleti's clears/RP lol.

Thank you for the reply! I didn't even consider that you'd be using Fickblix! That makes a lot more sense now.

And ty for the replies, I've tried the mixed DA/TA, higher focus on stp with 5/5 malig, mix and matching the gears. And I even tried to do an actual 5hit(+ws tp return) build as bst/dnc with haste samba. Maybe I'm just unlucky but I still keep running into instances of if I go a whole attack round without a multi-hit the chain breaks. I was doing Calamity > Bora Axe to just test how far I can chain, some I could get up to 5-7 sc and even failed the initial 2 step a few times lol (it's frustrating that axe ws tp return is so low..)

After all that I'm going to try a more focus'd DA build and maybe go back to bst/war and actually am considering exchanging my ephramad ring for fickblix lol

Stp with an oat OH is probably your best middle ground for tp gain, something like blurred knife+1 or ridill

Are you soloing as soloing with no trusts?
Because if that's the case, forget about the DA build, it is extremely inconsistent.
If you are using trusts instead, haste 2 from either koh or koru moru + marches for joachim/ulmia should be enough to keep you in the sc window.
Assuming you don't need any tank, add qultada in the mix, and it's almost impossible not chaining like a truck (he uses war roll for extra DA).
With koh, ulmia, sylvie, qultada and monberaux i stopped counting after 36 steps lol.
You can also try maya for 5/5 haste samba, but that fabulous cu*t interrupts SC.

I am using trusts, only 3 during limbus or 4-5 elsewhere. I do have a pocket geo I could easily use to cap haste with or use trusts to cap haste and go offensive bubbles(which I would prefer). But sometimes I also like to just single box.

I was thinking about Qultada's war roll today that might help me, do we know what is roll+ bonus is? I don't see it listed on the wiki, not sure if anyone has ever cared to test it tbh lol

Obviously I could go bst/nin or /dnc and offhand my blurred knife +1, the reason I bought it for since axe delay is so slow, but with the recent bonanza giveaway I took the Diamond Aspis, so I'm going the route of 1hand+shield Fencer and trying to make it work as best as possible without Aymur AM3 or Pangu Path B. Eventually I'll be making prime axe so my desire is to be able to reliably 3step the sc and have the option of using arthur or another pet as bursts/support rather than a sc partner. Hence why I'm looking into a MA/stp hybrid or going heavy into DA for example and trying to hit ~80% (with qultada).


I am very curious what your main hand was for this. I assume this was with your above posted Tplol set? I tried a similar set, but I can't mimic the gleti gear specifically as I don't have the upper Veng unlocks. With my testing though, the furthest I got the chain was like 7 tping at exactly 1k tp. I didn't have qultada giving me extra DA though and was also /dnc. I'll go back out tmr and try as /war with qultada.

Edit: I'll also give Maya a try, I forgot about him.

+0 cor

Damn SE couldn't even give him a Merirosvo ring? unlucky

He gets winning streak and has relic hat bonus chance. But yeah no innate +roll

I always use Farsha cause i have a lot of fun with it and always sub war.
Sometimes i use Guttler on bats in KRT so i can do Onslaught > Ruinator > Onslaught and they're dead, while with Farsha opening with Cloudsplitter takes me one more step to kill them.
Aymur is...weird, despite the AM3 I don't see any improvement in DA and i don't know why.
This is all solo though, in party i always go bst/nin and use Naegling/Fernagu.
I havent got enough RP on Ikenga...hopefully one day I'll find a group that farm RP.
And yes, the set is the same but hands and earring cause obviously as /war i don't need dw.
To be honest, I'm using gleti's gauntlets but I'd be probably better using malignance hands....which i haven't got.
I like using Gleti because of the pet stats, after all we're Beastmasters!

I really really want to try Tri-Edge/Ikenga for Calamity and see how much dmg i can do, but i have other weapons to finish first.

Absolutely!

You mention Farsha which has a 276delay and Guttler having a 280delay, while I'm currently using Agwu which is 288delay, now I may be reaching here, but it might be the weapon choice that is giving me such different results with that 8~12 longer delay per hit, over the course of 5-7 hits to get 1k tp?

I'll see if I have access to a lower delay axe, match the stp of your set and as close as I can of the MA and try it again.

I do like the idea of gleti though, the regain I'm sure can be nice too and I plan to work on arranging a v15 clear for my bst character at least for the body; can maybe get a v20 in not too much time. But, it will be a long time before I can do hands/legs tho.

Also I did briefly try Maya, but he didn't seem to like to maintain haste samba also took him forever to even use it for the first time, there any tricks to work with that?

Needs to have a good hit rate to start off with, after that he tends to focus on stepping initially then will shift into haste samba once he's done, once he gets it going once he tends to get it re-upped quickly though again this relies on him having a good TP generation, otherwise he'll just keep trying to step

Even if it takes some time for him to use Haste Samba, he always opens with Saber Dance, so you get another boost to your DA!
But at that point you don't need to go /war cause saber dance over writes the job trait, so you might want to go /sam or /drg.

Saber dance is self only
