Automaton Functionality Change Suggestions:
-Issue where when Harlequin Head is equipped with Harlequin Frame or Stormwaker Frame no longer cast magic.
-Issue where Valoredge Shield Bashes less often and too slow to stop spellcasting/monster special attacks.
-Issue where when Valoredge Head is equipped with Harlequin Frame or Stormwaker Frame no longer casting healing magic.
-Issue where Soulsoother prioritizes Erase/-na over Cure, when masters HP is red.
-Issue where Soulsoother continually cast Erase in an attempt to remove Sleep status effect (which does not work) or to remove "Aura" type status ailments.
-Issue where Stormwaker prioritizes Stoneskin over Cure, when masters HP is red.
-Issue where Soulsoother and Stormwaker continually cast Silence on mobs (with MP) that do not cast magic.
-Issue where Spiritreaver uses Absorb-Attri to absorb and override one of his enhancements for a (usually weaker) enhancement (i.e. Casts Dreadspikes => Casts Absorb-Attri => Gains Blaze Spikes [10-15 dmg spikes])
-Making it so that Stormwaker ONLY cast elemental magic while under the effect of Ice Maneuver (for the sake of MP conservation and hate control).
Attachment Related Change Suggestions:
-Increasing the amount of recast time given to Damage Guage, so that at least with two-three light maneuvers the Automaton will Cure -> Cure instead of Cure -> Enhancement or Enfeeble -> Cure or making the automaton use healing magic exclusively while under the effect of 2-3 light maneuvers. (As of current, even with three maneuvers the Automaton will Cure -> Enhancement/Enfeeble -> Cure, which is the same result if you don't have Damage Gauge equipped, meaning it is better off not being used.)
-Giving Strobe a recast reduction proportionate to the number of fire maneuvers active(like Barrier Module -> Shield Bash)
-Extending the current effect of equalizer to Magical Damage, recalculate the current effect of equalizer, or repurposing Equalizer all together, so it isn't completely overshadowed by Armor Plate I/II
Additional (but not dire) Suggestions:
-Adding Dark Magic (Dread Spikes/Drain/Aspir) and/or ranged attacks to Harlequin Frame and or revamping him in a way that makes him a inticing option (like the Onion Knight Frame aka Universal Frame).
-Providing another means of prioritizing Automaton TP Abilities outside of Elemental Maneuvers (Possibly Non-Elemental Maneuvers to influence Pet Weapon Skills [Offensive/Defensive Maneuver], or a TP ability setting menu.
-Strengthening Cannibal Blade, adding an occasional "Drain" effect to Shield Bash while equpped with the "Hammermill" attachment instead of Slow effect and/or 100% Shield Bash Accuracy, or buyable/stackable Healing Salve I outside of Abyssea/Voidwatch? (In general, any alternative means to heal Valoredge Frame [Current Options: Cannibal Blade, Repair, and Role Reversal).
