I would also suggest that avatars shorten the charge time when a BP is used. Other than that, I absolutely love this ability.
PUP - I'm going to split this up into the ones that I've tested so far. Although I do love seeing the 2 hour effect on the automatons when the ability is used. There are a couple of general issues I would like to note. The first thing I noticed is that when the automaton uses a 2 hr ability, the log reads "<pet> uses .." It appears that the ability name has been replaced by a "." The other thing that I noticed is that for abilities that have an effect, there is no indication in the log that the effect has worn off. This might be significant for abilities like Manafont and Chainspell.
Eagle Eye Strike - Feels too weak, especially for a level 99 2 hour ability. For comparison, Armor Shatter does about 2600 points of damage against weak EXP enemies, while PUP Eagle Eye Shot, using the same settings, equipment, and enemy, does 2100. Eagle Eye Strike, I feel, should do significantly more damage, at least 3000 or even 3500, considering that this is a level 99 2 hour ability.
Manafont - This ability is really good. I like how the puppet keeps casting until the effect wears off. I wouldn't change a thing with this ability.
Chainspell - It works like normal, but the one thing that I noticed is that the automaton seems to focus on enhancing spells more than anything. For example, I has a triple ice maneuver up, and I used the PUP 2hr to trigger Chainspell. The automaton started with casting Protect/Shell/Phalanx/Haste before casting the nukes. Outside of that, it seems to be working fine.
Mighty Strikes - I tried it out, and I don't like it. It doesn't mesh well with my automaton, even how I would use it. I would suggest replacing Mighty Strikes with Hundred Fists.
I'll look into the other 2 hours later.
