I was told there would be an annual Bonanza Weapon giveaway! WTF!

At least Morimar is a WAR/BST now instead of BST/WAR, I guess...

IIRC, last year it just appeared in inventory on a random day at JP midnight? Was not tied to an update and also was not announced prior. Maybe we are still getting one? Fingers crossed.

Same. If they announce it then maybe I'll use the first kupon I got? I dunno... So much analysis-paralysis when choosing those weapons.

The number of ways that SE just screws Beastmaster is staggering (i.e. Beastmaster inherently weaker front-line DD than WAR). So rather than improve one-handed Axe or Beastmaster or actual human players, just make the Beastmaster Trust -> Warrior main. Jesus-Tap-Dancing-Christ. :(

There is no chance this is related to job balance; it's because as a BST main he has no g.axe skill. Since they made his ws dependent on g.axe skill, he had to become a WAR.

I respectfully disagree. Give Beastmaster's access to Bravura. Problem solved. Otherwise, this is Beastmaster Erasure. :|

The bigger win was the Mastery Rank up from it, the trust primers are insignificant in the grander scheme.
