(I posted this under another topic under a large tangential digression regarding game mechanics, so I thought I'd repost it where it might actually be read, since it is a question I get asked a lot by other Puppetmasters, so I hope this is helpful!)
The rule of thumb for interchanging between pets is knowing that:
1) BLM RDM WHM only differ by dark/light elemental capacities
2) PLD RNG only differ by wind and earth (also water (by 2), fire (by 1), and thunder (by 1) slightly, but you can ignore this because this shouldn't be much of an issues as far as what is NEEDED for the pet to perform its role properly)
3) If you want to switch between a melee and mage automaton, say WHM and RNG:
-Gear RNG pet with attachments you'd use for WHM (filling from the bottom)
-Then switch to WHM and add attachments you'd use for RNG
-Leave 1~3 upper left hand attachment slots for attachments that (would upset the balance that would allow head/frame to be switched without changing any attachments) need to be added/removed for quick pet switch.
Hopefully if the delay between adding and removing attachments is removed, switching between any two pets will be even faster, so please like and reply to that post to bring it to the DEVs attention! Thanks! Cheers to all my fellow puppetmasters!
