PUP/Automaton combo Weaponskill

I will agree on the 'difficult to implement thing. It seems like anything that requires any form of new code is deemed as 'too hard'.

It's 10 year old code that has been expanded and mutated over and over. Fix a bug, and something else falls over.
So yeah, any changes will have to be well-thought and thoroughly tested, and even then it's impossible to cover ALL of the game.

As far as 'balance'....what game do you play, because in the FFxi i play there is no class balance, you have 5 god classes and 15 others QQing that their class isnt one of the 5.

That must be an alternate dimension version of FFXI, because OUR FFXI has jobs, not classes.

While not crazy about the idea, a way to implement it would be to take the drg/wyvern approach; where after the dragoon uses a ws the wyvern would use a breath consuming whatever tp it has.

So when the master uses <insert thematically appropriate ws name> the auto would use its tp has to boost the damage without needing to be at 100 tp also. It could be a fun way to avoid magic mortar spam when tactical switch is down.

The Cirque +2 set has Set: Attack occ. varies with automaton's HP. Perhaps something like that could be done with TP as well (but without consuming it.) Tactical Switch already allows us to use the automaton TP.

But I am expecting a new weaponskill for the stormwaker frame next update when it will reach 324 melee natively.

And yeah, I'm also looking forward to a new WS to replace Magic Mortar. 0 dmg weaponskills followed by a 0 dmg skillchain and SE doesn't even consider it a bug... hopefully the next WS isn't as gimmicky...

Harlequin has 325 skill natively at 90, and Stormwaker can get it easily with merits and gear. So I doubt 324 skill is the reason there's no new WS for those frames.
