Is it worthy to make a beast master? Aren't rangers more effective with bow attacks osth?
So if anyone knows some good Beastmaster builds and/or have some tricks & tips for new beastmaster, please post them here.

I have a nice ranger with 2 nice work beastmaster builds. One of them, you basically do nothing, in the other you fight. The better fighting one is called Bunny Thumper. Search it on PvX Wiki.

Essentially, a Beastmaster is a 'fun' or 'gimmick' build. Pets smiply suck too hard to seriously compare with Broad Head Arrow, Splinter Volley or Cripshot.

So if anyone knows some good Beastmaster builds and/or have some tricks & tips for new beastmaster, please post them here. The 'best' beastmaster builds run a weapon mastery alongside their pet - they use attack buffs from the BM lines and the pet is, essentially, supplementary damage to the ranger.

A lot of degen and disruption.

C-space stuff, kill stuff, make sure to have a zealous hammer for the needed energy (RaO is horribly expensive)

okay... you can make good BM builds without going interrupting... or being a bunny thumper either for that matter.

I've never had problems making some that work very well... Two words: Be Creative! (or you can always pm me, I might have one lingering around in my templates)
