Continuation post of Return of Jett and Chase (Beast Tamer):
Guardian Leap:
This skill only applies when an animal has yet to be selected, all animals will gain their own unique mobility skill(s) with Snow Leopard and Cat not even having a flash jump at all.
Beastly Resolve:
Adjusted: This skill now gains a charge every 150 seconds, up to 2 charges held at one time.
(Beast Tamer will not acquire Will of Erda.)
Bear Mode:
Revealed and Acquired at Level 10:
Bear Leap:
NEW SKILL: Passive: After jumping, do a further jump to the right, left, or upwards depending on what directional key was being held when you jump again.
Paw Strikes / Furious Strikes:
Quality of Life Improvement: While using this skill, you can use the new skill "Bear Leap" without disrupting the key down nature of the skill.
Quality of Life Improvement: Is no longer affected by attack speed increasing affects (this means, it always attacks at its fastest rate without the need of green potion and the like).
Deep Breath / Really Deep Breath:
Function Change: Turn this into a toggle skill. While active, attacking with Furious Strikes will periodically pull in applicable monsters near you outside of your attack range into your attack range.
Really Deep Breath turns into a passive that further enhances Deep Breath once it is unlocked.
Majestic Trumpet:
Skill Rework: Changed into a Hold Down Skill: Fort the Bear does a powerful fart, causing self and himself to rocket forward along the ground, leaving behind flames on the ground for up to 15 seconds to periodically deal damage to monsters within.
This skill can be used while performing Furious Strikes.
Billowing Trumpet will be a passive skill that further enhances the flames' damage and increases their duration to 30 seconds.
Fishy Slaps:
Adjustments: Damage is greatly increased, max key down duration is lowered to 5 seconds, cooldown is increased to 60 seconds.
Table Flip:
Mini Rework: The action delay should be removed and now does a snappy flipping of the table animation, dealing damage to a large amount of monsters in a large area, and stunning them for 6 seconds, including boss monsters, and the same monster cannot be stunned by this for the next 45 seconds.
Cooldown: Increased to 60 seconds.

Adjustment: Only one trail can be active at a time, creating a new one deletes the previous one.
Party Time:
Adjustments: Damage is greatly increased and the cooldown is increased to 60 seconds.
Quality of Life: Remove the action delay entirely for a smoother gameplay feel.
Hawk Mode:
Revealed and Acquired at Level 30:
Formation Attack:
Improvement: No longer is affected by attack increasing effects (meaning, this skill always attacks at its fastest rate without the need of green potion and the like).
Slight Function Change: Instead of reducing Fly's cooldown by 0.5 second, instead grants 2 charges of Fly every time you attack at least 1 monster with Formation Attack.
Added Function: Killing a monster with Formation Attack will grant 2 charges of Fly.
Fly:
Adjusted Change: While flying, consume 1 charge every second. When your flight metre is empty, you exit flight. You need at least 10 charges to enter flight.

Cat Mode:
Revealed and Acquired at Level 60:
Cat Mode is the one that needs an updated rework, but not in what it does, rather in how it plays and in its usability.
The main focus for Cat Mode should be on the support skills and turning Arby into a complimentary animal mode that you swap to and from between him and your core animal mode gameplay constantly to supply the support skills (healing, defense, buffs, etc.) rather than be a mode intended to stay in the entire time (unless you want to be a full on support that does almost no damage).

Rework: Active: Applies the Meow Card buff to self and party members for 120 seconds [increases with buff duration] that cycles between Blue Card, Red Card, and Green Card randomly every 20 seconds. The same card can be applied again.

Red Card: Grants 10% Final Damage.
Green Card: Grants 50% increased healing for skills and potions. All healing from Beast Tamer ignores anti-healing effects.

(Meow Card and Gold Card will now be two separate effects entirely, making Gold Card become its own separate active and no longer replaces Meow Card.
What card each party member and self has will always be directly above the character. With each character randomly into their own card colour, not everyone in the party will have the same colour at the same time {though still possible since it is a true random outcome}.)
