Here is a question... If you could change the 2hr .. what would you have it do?

[Pyrobunny]

wait we have 2hr?

all jokes aside i like mizu's idea in it boosting the attachemnts along with the no overload

i think it should also give it a small regain maybe and boost the fast cast

maybe give each frame a 2hr?
VE: mightystrikes?
SS: EES?
SR: manafont?
Soulsoother: Benediction?
stormwalker: chainspell?

I was logging in just so i could type this exact suggestion.
I think our 2-hr should be based on our automaton. After all, 80% of what we do is through our auto's.

Essentially, this is what Overdrive does at the moment. Well, for Valoredge and Sharpshot, anyway. Depending on what maneuvers you have active, the fact that you can't overload and can keep them up constantly while overdrive is active gives pup access to several mini-2hours; they aren't nearly as potent as the real deal, but they are potent if used properly.

Examples:
Fifty Fists: +25% increase to puppet melee attack speed, on top of 3x wind maneuvers and Turbo Charger, is already about 80% of hundred fists' potency (it reduces your attack delay to the absolute floor of 20% without affecting your TP gain). Once you get a few pieces of pet: haste gear this basically becomes hundred fists, just with a slower start up and if timed right, a slightly longer duration.

Smiddy Strikes: maintaining 3x Thunder with dynamo equipped is a pretty vicious crit rate boost. Even more warrior-like with coiler added for double attack spammage.

Semi-perfect Dodge: 3x Wind with both Accelerators on can put the puppet pretty close to the evasion cap, depending on what you're fighting.

Almost-invincible: 3x Earth with Equalizer/Schurzen can make the puppet pretty hard to scratch, especially VE if you have pet DT- gear.

And of course, all of this is coupled with the fealty-esque enfeeble resistance.

The biggest problem with overdrive is that it's totally impractical to pull any one of these off when you need it (you have to know you're going to need it before hand to make sure you the right attachments fit), and it does absolutely nothing for the mage puppets aside from making them live for 30-40 seconds longer to cast blindna or aspir another time before they go splat, if you knew it would happen ahead of time and wasted attachment slots on defense.

If it didn't take 20-30 seconds to set up a useful combo, it'd be a bit stronger, but as it is, it really just ain't strong enough to be a "2hour", when you consider that the pet getting the above buffs either A: has almost no use for them (mages), or B: doesn't have the punch to back up the boost (again, Mages, and also VE most of the time, abyssea excluded).
