A New Animator

[Izunagi]

Added a new animator or magians animator would be something I'd like to see.

Maybe add an extra maneuver with the magians animator or something would be cool too.

[Harnao]

I'm still not clear what the difference is between the curent Animators in the game, to be honest.

[Tetsujin]

The normal animator has no bonus to your stats,
Turbo Animator gives you +2 DEX, which is pretty nice.
I believe the Animator +1 gives your puppet HP/MP increases but I'm not sure.

A new animator would be interesting indeed. We'll see what they hit us with.

turbo animator makes manuvers register faster with AI

Animator +1 also gives hidden +4 DEX to master.

In lines with OP's topic, would be nice to see an animator. Could be possible SE will add an empyrean one in eventually, I mean they did plunk in Shield and Harp after no other types of trials akin to the item types. We'll have to wait and see though...

Harlequin frame: 50 HP and MP
Valoredge frame: 60 HP
Sharpshot frame: 45 HP
Stormwalker frame: 40 HP and 60 MP

already someone else said something like this.

i still need to see some evidence of this.

i tryed animator, turboo and +1 and never see a difference in the behavior of the automaton.

There is no difference in maneuvers or puppet AI between the animators.

Only differences are that Turbo Animator adds DEX+2, and Animator +1 adds DEX+4 and automaton HP/MP (amount varies by frame as Ahtos described above).

[Garota]

And your Animator+1 doesn't even have a white border on it as all other +1 items do... It's obviously a counterfeit!

[Glamdring]

A new animator would be nice. there are several proposal threads on this already.

[Lushipur]

new animator:

Deluxe Animator Rare Exclusive
None
An improved version of the animator.
Boasts vastly simplified operation
over the standard model.
Lv87 PUP

lets hope ^^

[Miera]

Cirque Animator, Yes, please.

[Kayn]

hope it does something worth while.

[Amerlyn]

Animators should have a built in "Overload" reduction rate. Like the Cirque body. 66PUP atm, love my pup. I've heard the Cirque bd is awesome for reducing Overloads. As far as Emp ideas for an animator. I'd like to see an Animator that gives the Automaton (depending on class) a new TP move.

[Lazus]

maybe the new Animator had regain on it <can hope> or at least improve the maneuvers problem.

[Xanaduu]

i just wanna know where we get the new 1 @.@

[Dragkon]

I like the regain idea, since they NERFED Burts, yeah fuck you SE!, must be all that radiation or something because Burts were perfectly fine, so this new Animator better have regain to cause a massive nerf like that. Personally though I am thinking 4 maneuvers... or maybe add more ele so you can add more costly attachments...
Still all I can think about is the nerfing up Burts.... it is like say for war Widowmaker "yeah double dmg for you double attack, now lets nerf warrior's job trait double attack to .0001%!" It is beyond me...

[Lushipur]

probably will add 8 dex and a bunch of hp/mp based on frame...like an animator+1 with bigger bonus...

and obviously will be a rare drop from tier4 void nm...

[Stigmar]

Ok lets clear this up a bit this is exactly what each animator does:

Animator Recast time: 12 secs All jobs can use this version
Tubo Animator Recast time 7 secs DEX+2 for auto
Animator +1 Recast 10 secs DEX+4 and automaton HP/MP (amount varies by frame as Ahtos described above).

Hope that clears up the difference in the animators

[Gael]

The DEX bonus is always for the master, not for the automaton.

The recast thing is a pure myth for that i know (based on Jkun's tests, posted on BG : he tested the recast with a turbo animator and an animator +1. At the end, his conclusion was that there was no difference between the 2 animators in term of recast.)

[Lushipur]

recast time of what? O_o

[Gael]

Spells and ja (flash, voke, eraser, ...) but it doesnt work like that xD
