To be fair unless they changed things it's the lowest priority buff on their list so sometimes you won't see it.

But yea they got Haste II the same update it was released for RDM

If SE would spend more than 30 seconds on the update. They could do a lot for attachments. But giving your puppet some glowy thingy is probably more along the lines of what SE is doing.

Speaking of Nirvana, they need to give Kenkonken the same lvl+ treatment. I don't see why they didn't do this to begin with.

For me it requires way too much inventory space...and if I did have the space it would be very far on my to do list.

If I want to get that PUP feeling I'll just play monk and pretend I have a puppet fighting.

Give us a way to deal with Doom and Curse, make Repair with AF feet or Maintenance remove the status! It's not a huge thing but it would be a nice quality of life addition.

We need more DD-focused adjustments from our pets, whether that means new attachments or changes to old ones. Outside of Overdrive none of our autos do enough damage. Black mage in particular is bad; honestly that head needs a total revamp because it's clunky as hell.

Still, I can't complain too much. I think puppetmaster is in a great place overall. Some adjustments would be nice but I'll be grateful for whatever we get.

* Tank bot is mostly limited by not being able to do hate moves with too long of cooldowns, if they delinked the Strobe provokes, that'd be nice, plus a foil would be slick.

I love this! Foil would be perfect. Hell, if I'm dreaming, let's dream big- a new automaton that is a RUN. High magic evasion, lose shield block, gain Foil and enhancing spells like Phalanx.

I really wish it was easier to isolate skillchains somehow. In my experience a lot of the damage potential from the puppet is in self skill chaining, especially when you're geared/buffed enough to do 4-6 step skillchains. But because party setups tend to contain multiple DDs or the monsters have hard hitting AoE's that the auto simply can't survive if spammed or used before repair is back up it's hard to be able to do that.

i think SE doesn't want pup to be able to do anything against doom, they are already immun to charm, which is one of the main reasons to take a pup tank over a regular one besides the insane HP pool/dmg mitigation.

imho SE uses doom if they don't want pup tanks to be used for that content, like a hard counter.

if they gave pup tanks access to decent hate control and cure status debuffs like doom on top of what they already have then there would be little reason left to take RUN or PLD over PUP.

I'd say PLD and RUN still have their place if only because a tank setup for pup really hurts their damage output where as RUN and PLD still have more ability to do damage while tanking. But maybe I'm wrong.

... how long have you been playing this game?

Since when does SE INTEND anything?

and even moreso, since when does it matter what SE intends and what players DO?
