Is it disabled for this last part of the beta? I thought it was implemented already, where you could change the weapon of the commander (or even the race of the spiritmaster pet). Unless I got some bad info and it was never implemented.

you have to recast it

I think those commands came later, along with the Taunt command. To get those back it'd have to be a taboo custom change which probably won't happen for years.

The BD pets feel very lackluster - rarely use any styles, pathetic damage, the enemy can essentially ignore them.

The tip I've got from a more experienced BD player than me, he tested BD a lot in this beta, was to recast my commander until I get a 2Handed one

Guess I was mis-remembering it then. Thanks.

My main was a BD back in the day. I had MCL purely because every time i'd go through a bar of power recasting my pets until i got the 2H hammer pet. That was always and the only one I went for in RvR because he had a rear positional style for those casters who would try and run away from my pet.

I recal jumping off the boat in albland and my small man teams would bet on how many casts it would take Theshepard to get his 2H hammer pet.

Fun times.

Any memory on how often that pet would use its 2 hand style? Feels like I'm seeing a style once every dozen fights

iirc it wasn't too often, however it was the only rear positional style weapon so it was better than none. I think the 2H sword has a side positional style but good luck getting that one off in rvr.

I was going to roll alb, but highly considering going back to my bd.
