Ok so I'm looking at the Beast Master to try and help my player.
And this can't be right. My power output is significantly better if I attack and just use the beast as a flanking stump.
I have a base 18 Str, so I have a +4 str mod and a Longsword which is a d10.
The Wolf has a 14 Str and a d8 claw
My basic attack: +4 vs AC
My damage: 1d10 + 4
Wolf basic attack: +3 vs AC
Wolf Damage: 1d8 + 3 or +5 if flanking.
As I progress, my attacks still stay significantly better than the Wolf's. All the powers that use the are worse than the ones that allow me to just use my [W]. So can someone please explain to me why I'm even using a beast ranger when a melee or ranged Ranger does things so much better?
Granted the fact that I get a beast is better than Defensive Mobility and Prime Shot (since that seems to happen so very little), but not a single power in here seems worth it.
(Ignore roleplaying)
