Question on Beast masters

[Neotetro]

I was considering switching on over to beast master and I wanted to know if they were getting a nerf or buff in the future? Or maybe some plans you may have? Any advice from BM is appreciated, thanks

They recently got nerfed with the change of wolf summon to a 5 minute cooldown. However, with axes, bows, wolves, and the ability to root, they are very strong if you can get close to your target to root and tag them.

However, the wolves themselves die pretty quick unless you have the level 50 skill that heals them.

While we rework the AI and other things, Beastmasters will be relying on more than just wolves to strike them down.
In fact, we sorta want them to be pack leader and have a method to buff their animals but not solely rely on them.

ahh sounds pretty awesome! Two more questions. Will BM's keep bows? And do bow kills give exp?
