*Metal Gear Exclamation Point Sound Effect!*

So I opened up the version update details and searched Puppetmaster to find the line in question and began flailing with excitement at my desk.

I know its not that big of a deal, but seriously -- its about damn time. This makes me happy out of general principle.

It's really too late. Asuran fists would have been great to have when the level cap was 75, but now it's not really relevant anymore.

And ironically still stands as the best h2h WS in the game (with 99 Kenkonken)

Kenkonken /drool

One day maybe, if enough ppl would actually stick together long enough to actually work toward mythics

asuran fist. yes it a bit late but it still good to have for the newer pups. you guys forgot it lot harder to get people into doing old nyzul isle now & days also pup was the only one that didn have a 70+ WS Trial. even the newer jobs geo rune got some WS trial

I was going to mention that as well. Puppetmaster can unlock Asuran Fists at level 74. I know some puppetmasters who still don't have stringing pummel due to not having the runic key. Granted, Shijin Spiral is a better option (weaponskill space permitted) than Asuran but at least it gives newer puppermasters more options. While I may have Stringing Pummel, Shijin Spiral, and Victory Smite, I wouldn't write PUP getting Asuran off as useless.

If Asuran fists was Distortion rather than Gravitation, it would be a bit of a different story, though (Tactical Switch of Asuran Fists -> Stringing Pummel = Darkness were that the case). One can dream.

In all honesty I have two characters. 1 that's a lvl 99 PUP with stringing pummel, the other is lvl 30. I have no plans really to unlock asuran fists on either unless I get people asking me for blu procs. That's it. I went years without the skill before, I can go more years without it now. Not saying it's useless, just saying it's not really needed.

Yeah I know, that's likely the only reason we got it -- because it doesn't matter now.

Doesn't stop me from feeling good about it on general principle, though. It's like finish a complete set of AF1 even when you already have Empy +2 finished. Irrelevant, but feels good bro.

Now... I don't have MNK and thus never did the WS quest. Did they merely add the WS to the job, or can PUP actually undertake the quest as well?

Knuckles Of Trials are PUP/MNK now, so they can indeed quest it.

Nah, I just never think to.
