Duration of Maneuvers & New Animators!

[Svens]

I just don't get it... I can't be the only person to have noticed an improvement over the Turbo Animator... honestly, if there's no noticeable difference, then just go back to using your Turbo... right? I mean everyone has an opinion, and I appreciate hearing others' take on the issue--but I can't help but wonder... is it easier to say you don't see something (such as an improvement to your automaton's overall performance by using a higher-quality item) primarily because you "want" the devs to make a new animator?... I too "would" love a new animator IF I felt it was necessary... as I previously mentioned... I don't think it's necessary.

If SE feels a new animator is needed because the current ones are just not performing as intended.... then so be it. However, as a pup (and I've been playing the job since its inception)....having had experience with all 3 animators, I can say... it's not the animator that's the issue... if you don't have a +1...get it. If you do and you still want a new animator, then perhaps the issue lies somewhere else. I'm just sayin'.

Define what improvements you are seeing between turbo and +1 and provide the tests and data to prove it. Otherwise, the only difference between the two are an additional +2 Dex for the master and +HP/MP for the automaton. Thus, the only improvements you should see are +1% acc (if uncapped), +crit rate, and your automaton not dropping below the hp/mp threshold to cast drain/aspir as often.

As for the OP, I am in favor of increasing maneuver duration and at least one more new animator. Would not mind an animator +2 with blue box to complement WoE+2 and AF3+2.
