I'm starting to write up a guide about jug pets and end game for Beastmasters.

This has been an interest to me since I was level 50~60ish. I think we have a poor reputation for end game events:
Dynamis
Limbus
Sky
Salvage
Nyzul
Assault
beseiged
Einherjar
Campaign

It seems to me that in alot of end game content Beastmaster are dependent upon pet familiars. (there is nothing to charm, or not enough).

The recent changes to beastmaster, (ready, HQ jug availablity improvement, and snarl) all seem to help in some limited ways. However I am interested in hearing about really good, specific uses for the different jug pets for missions, quests, and mostly end game content. I hope some of the more experienced beastmasters have some things to share.

There are plenty of testimonials and strategies for Beastmasters when it comes to Notorious Monster Hunting, but not much detail about quests, missions and other endgame content. SE recently announced their shift in development focus to tweaking each job with regards to roles in end-game rather than party dynamics. I love playing Beastmaster. I want to be effective in most any situation as a beastmaster.

I have only started with Salvage, Nyzul Ilse, and Sky and a flurry of all the missions. What has worked well for you?

I want to add just a few experiences and ideas of what I've done that follow the lines I'm looking at.

I do think Beastmasters excel in crowd control.
Mission 5.1 being a good example. I love helping other on this mission. Going in as BST/BLU I can hold and kill everything except the main baddie or my pet can tank the main baddie. I am fairly confident BST could duo this fight quite effectively.

Sheep song + BST in CHR gear can sleep everything in the Battle. Funguar Pet can Kill Both Sorcerers or TAnk the main sorcerer. I've also found you can position your pet in front of the gate to intercept and kill all the little peon skeletons that come in.
this is not an end game example, but it is a battle I find BST excels.

I also want to attempt the Windurst 6-2 mission as BST/BLU solo using Voracious Audrey and Zoolater's Hat to sleep most the Yagudo.

I'm still trying to Workout a Full BST approach to the ACP final Fight: Ode to Life Bestowing. I think Pet Damage reduction gear is a must for this, but i need to get more before I can test more. BST Ode to Life Bestowing

usually I find the only role anyone knows for us in endgame is "another DD" but that doesnt' seem to fit how we work (though we can quite well)
