The fact still remains, in terms of overall damage, PUP can out parse a Dark Knight easily. The fact that a DRK can do that with Kraken Club is not important because that is once every 2 hours and needs much help.

Puppetmasters using Magic Motar is very easy too. Even with the AoE puppetmaster can work well around it. All we have to do it drain the MP and let the automaton get hit by the AoE to drain its HP, weapon skill, and repair.

With that said, PUP still remains an incredible damage dealer and can be done even bare handed. I tried doing this with no attachments exept inhibitor. The magic motar still did 1.8k damage and a 1.8k light.

Now that is very cheap in gil to make that steady damage. With about 50k more into the job you can breach 3k in damage and 3k in the skillchain.

Puppetmaster most likely will -Not- get nerfed because of the extensive amount of work it takes to set it up. Yes, once it is set up, it is absolutely amazing. The factor in the matter is the time it takes to do it.

I just love puppetmasters and all the puppetmaster fans on FFXI. Stay true to your job and help prove puppetmasters can do great along the side of other jobs.

P.S. - Edit - Even without Magic Motar, with the new Ranger Automaton weapon skill, the ranger automaton can parse even higher then it did before! I have hit up to a 2.3k WS on the automaton. No, that was not on a Greater Colibri, that was on a Hilltroll Warrior.

Puppetmasters still have the ability to spam hateless Blizzard IV's for massive damage as well.

Cast -> Deactivate -> Activate -> Cast and so on. With the good attachments PUPs can get, I have been able to over nuke a good black mage with great equips on. Blizzard IV with even 2 Ice Manuevers up makes it on par with an actual black mage. With 3 Ice Manuevers it is overkill.

Yes, the puppetmaster is as good as the player. No one should judge an entire job on how some players play the job. I have seen many paladins play to 75 and get full relic and do many amazing things, but the paladin was not even the greatest of tanks. Every job has a bad point and not just PUP. This is the fact I am trying to prove.

Thanks for reading everyone. I really want to help motivate all the players to give PUP a chance more often if they see one seeking.
