Suggestion : Linkpearl Animator

[Kristal]

Goblins have a linkpearl embedded in their ear, allowing them to communicate with other goblins anywhere.

Could this be applied to Puppetmaster too? Players would obtain a key item "Linkpearl Animator", allowing them direct communication with their automaton. It would allow PUPs to use maneuvers without an animator and equip stat ammo items such as the Demonry Core. This feature would only be possible on main job PUPs of lvl 50+.

* Linkpearl Animator

This linkpearl was embedded in your skull by the fabled goblin surgeon Franken Steinox. It allows you to relay orders to your automaton directly.
You think you hear voices sometimes as well...

As a hidden feature, you would occasionally hear stray thoughts of nearby goblins or other linkshell chatter. Be warned...

Like wifi puppet.

LMAO that's funny....

Nah but in all seriousness I like the idea, they are mocking us by giving us a cool item for pup but we can't use it 'cause we gotta wear a stupid animator.

Not to mention we can actually use our very high throwing skills. Granted, it'll be difficult hitting the target since we're trained NOT to hit it... but we must have the 2nd best throwing skill in the game for a reason!

I like the idea but... where would you equip the linkshell animator? In which slot? Don't think it's gonna happen.
Plus in all honesty it's not like there are any gamebreaking ammo pieces equippable by PUP, wouldn't really change things from night to day, would it?

While your idea is really nice tbh I'd rather have them release better animators. You ear me SE? BETTER animators, not stuff like Deluxe Animator >_______>

Key Item.

It wouldn't prevent equipping an animator still, but you could choose between [DEX+4 Automaton: HP&MP Bonus] and [DEX+4 Pet:Accuracy+4] without it locking maneuvers.

Quest giving a Key Item... hmm I like that
Still doubt it will happen, but I find it a very nice idea ^^

Last time I checked it was the better animator... =D

If you leveled PUP when the max level was still 75, you could get Animator +1 (DEX+4 Automaton:HP&MP Bonus) by doing a number of einherjar runs for therion ichor, which is superior over the Deluxe Animator (DEX+6). Unless ofcourse there's an as-of-yet-secret effect on the Deluxe Animator that beats A+1.

Unfortunately, like the mythic weapons, the animator +1 is now a thing of the past (unless you pre-ordered it.)

Or, just give us the ability to turn our animator into the key item, but you can only have 1 at a time.

1) You want to use pup as a sub? trade in the regular animator and all jobs can use the key item
2) want to use that pimp +1? Trade it in and it gives you the regular animator back
3) SE adds an actually relevent animator? Trade it in, get your animator +1 back etc. etc.

Personally I will take dex +6 over dex +4 , hp +10~50 or w/e animator +1 adds. Neither is that spectacular or noticably more efficent/affective of a choice.
