In HNMLS situations a BST will more often times than not be more useful playing the role of Link Control for the surrounding mobs then as Damage Dealer. This role can be fulfilled by other jobs such as BRD, HOWEVER, all other jobs use Sleep and Bind tactics for that link control. Or they will use an outside PT to simply kill them. For charmable mobs, CHARM is far more effective and Dependable than sleep and bind. In many areas, however, it is easier and more practical to have one or two BST traveling the area and charming then leaving the linked mobs. Perfect example of this is in Dragons Aery, when one VT fly attacks/aggroes, the rest of the flies link. A properly equipped BST can control all of the flys on his own by charming one, and setting it to attacking the other flies. As each pet

This role can be fulfilled by other jobs such as BRD, HOWEVER, all other jobs use Sleep and Bind tactics for that link control. Or they will use an outside PT to simply kill them. For charmable mobs, CHARM is far more effective and Dependable than sleep and bind. In many areas, however, it is easier and more practical to have one or two BST traveling the area and charming then leaving the linked mobs. Perfect example of this is in Dragons Aery, when one VT fly attacks/aggroes, the rest of the flies link. A properly equipped BST can control all of the flys on his own by charming one, and setting it to attacking the other flies. As each pet dies you charm the one that will attack you (the original that you sicked your pet on) before it has the opportunity to link with the rest of the flies and continue the process until one fly remains. Feel free to FAMILIAR the last fly, and if you can position it on the dragons feet properly, feel free to allow it to participate in the DD process (unless sleep is planned to be used to regain some MP, in such case, be prepared to heel you pet) They CON VT but live less then 1 or 2 minutes and with enough CHARM + gear it will not uncharm. Repeating this process clears the area of linkable mobs so that your BLMs can use their higher tier NUKEs and -ga spells, and creates more breathing room for your LS members fighting the main mob. Most players will not trust a BST to perform these tasks due to unreliable performance of other BSTs in past experiences. Link control of higher tier mobs with the use of CHARM takes a VERY high level of skill. However, it can and has been done before. Go with your game face and best CHR gear available.
