idk about the direct translation, but it sounds as if armor plates will be straight -DT? not just mdt or pdt? or aditional magic damage taken, reduced physical dmg taken.. like a jelly ring. that'd balance it out with mana jammers.
i'm hoping its the former, but it's probably the latter.

10-15-2011 08:14 AM #3Howdy!
Our puppetmaster adjustments are being finalized, so I would like to make an announcement before we implement these adjustments to the test server.
Usually we make these kinds of announcements at the same time as the changes are implemented in the test server, but it’s going to take us a little bit longer to implement our adjustments, so we decided to make the announcement first.
- Attachments
- Increased the effect boost based on number of maneuvers for the following attachments
Strobe/Inhibitor/Flame Holder/Steam Jacket/Auto-Repair Kit II
- Lowered the required capacity from 2 to 1 for the following attachments
Reactive Shield/Scope/Schurzen/Volt Gun
- Attachment adjustments as follows
Attachment Adjustments Reactive Shield Added a bonus to the amount of spike damage dealt based on the frame’s skill level Mana Booster Effect changed from shortening recast times to that of a fast cast effect Drum Magazine Lessened the negative impact to accuracy Replicator Increased the number of shadows based on the number of wind maneuvers used Shock Absorber Bonus added to the amount of damage absorbed based on the frame’s skill level and the number of earth maneuvers used Armor Plate
Armor Plate IIEffect changed from increasing defense to decreasing the amount of physical damage taken Analyzer Tripled the amount of damage that can be mitigated Hammermill Shield Bash will be 100% accurate when Hammermill is equipped Volt Gun Removed the level dependence and added a bonus to additional damage based on the frame’s skill level and the number of thunder maneuvers used Heatsink The decrease in the probability of overload will be based on all maneuvers instead of just fire maneuvers Damage Gauge Shortened the recast time for cure spells Eraser Changed so that only light maneuvers are consumed to fix multiple status ailments
- Increased the effect boost based on number of maneuvers for the following attachments
Automatons- Re-examine automaton logic
- Add/adjust spells
- Recast times for spells will be set up independently for each category (such as enhancing/enfeebling magic)
*Cure, regen, status ailment recovery spells will each have their own recast times
- The following spells will be added
Protect (I-V)/Shell (I-V)/Stoneskin/Haste/Phalanx/Erase/Absorb-Attri/Dispel/Dread Spikes/Addle/Regen IV
*Phalanx and Stoneskin will only be used on the master
*Protect, Shell, and Haste will only be used on the master and party members
- Tier IV elemental spells will be added to Stormwaker Y-700
- Cure IV or Cure V will be chosen based on remaining HP
- Recast times for spells will be set up independently for each category (such as enhancing/enfeebling magic)
- Weapon skill adjustments
- Magic Mortar will have a set amount for its minimum amount of damage
- Sharpshot automaton adjustments
- Distance adjustments will be removed for ranged attacks
- Puppetmasters
- A job ability that removes automaton status ailments will be added (Lv30 recast time: 1 minute)
- Uses automaton oil to fix automaton status ailments (those that can be recovered by erase)
- The number of status ailments fixed will depend on the type of automaton oil used, and a maximum of 4 status ailments can be removed at once
*Automaton oil+3 (Lv80+) will also be added.
- A job ability that removes automaton status ailments will be added (Lv30 recast time: 1 minute)
These changes will be implemented in the test server in a while, and we plan on making final adjustments based on feedback once these changes are implemented in the test server. Thank you!(31)Devin "Camate" Casadey - Community Team

I really hope the automaton doesn't spam these over nukes once implemented. I already have enough trouble with it spamming aspir with 900+ mp and drain if it takes any dmg whatsoever.

I will mention this again. This maybe a stretch but think guys. We have been wanting harly to be part of the action again for some time, so take a look at those spells. Do they fit VE or SS? No, they have no mp. Do they fight rdm, whm, blm puppet? No, those spells are to help with melee damage. What other frame do we have that does melee dmg but has mp? Harly.

Those spells I will bet will be for harly only, and will be probably over lvl 75 or so. They are giving us another option for a melee fighter that can absorb, dread spikes and cure itself. At least that is my take, because it makes sense.(1)

Took only 5+ years of constant complaints by anyone seriously trying to play PUP. Looks like PUP will be more useful especially in low-man situations with this.

My opinions on your post, Camate
That's good news, altough I was hoping for a couple more reductions. Lately we got so many good attachments that we can't combine because of the total limit on frame.

Ehr... this would have sucked with the old system, but since we now have separate cooldowns I guess this is actually a welcome change.Mana Booster: Effect changed from shortening recast times to that of a fast cast effect
Everything else was awesome but I was expecting some due fix to those attachments that you can get from ENM or Ob like "Attuner" or "Target Marker". These work only on enemies that are "Even Match" or higher, and sometimes they do not work at all. It's a shame. This limit should be removed imho.
Also, it's also a shame there is no word of fix concerning the 8 "The Ashu Talif" attachments.
More options to obtain them? Higher drop rate from the BC itself?
Ease up the pre-requisite to enter the BC so that you can more easily let friends help you out? Allow you to enter with 2 people instead of the 3 people limit? Things like that.
Some of those 8 attachments are still the best there's out there, and the prices are still incredibly retarded.
This is AWESOME.Re-examine automaton logic
It's all we've been asking for, I can't express in words how much I'm happy about it
Only thing I'm concerned atm is that with all those timers our automatons will cast a lot more spells. This could potentially create issues to mana? I dunno, guess we'll have to try out. Mana is definitely NOT an issue at all atm, but with that many spells cast it could become one.
I noticed a couple of strange things among those added in the list though. Dispel and Erase spells? Wow... what about the two attachments Eraser and Disruptor?
Guess they won't be that useful anymore, at least on mage frames.
Due adjustments.Weapon skill adjustments
Too bad you aren't fixing the "select by maneuver" system... guess you're happy with that. I still find it retarded but oh well, no big deal I suppose.
I noticed you fixed the Distance issue for Sharpshoot, but you did not increase the distance at which Sharpshoot and the mage frame can cast spells, which is very short, putting them within the range of dangerous AoE from Enemies.
Would it not be possible to increase it a bit? At least over 15 yalms, a lot of AoE have 15 or less range, at least the automatons could be safe from those and be hit only by AoE with range higher than 15 yalms.
And what about the fact that Sharpshoot's ranged attacks are considered a Job Ability and, hence, cannot become a Critical Hit?
Any chance this will stack up to 99? It's a big inventory issue to keep several stacks of Automaton Oil when you could just keep one if they stacked up to 99.Automaton oil+3 (Lv80+) will also be added.
I'm a bit confused by the new JA that removes status effect though
With Erase, Eraser and the enhanced Repair with PUP AF1 feet, did we really need a JA to remove several status effect from our automaton wasting an oil, when that same oil could be used to give him a very strong regen and still cure it? Dunno, sounds a bit like a useless ability to me.
Now if it didn't consume an Oil it would be fine, but with an oil consumed I'd rather use just Repair with Puppetry Babuches.(1)And the autumn of life has finally come
with the promise of winter thaw.
10-22-2011 09:11 AM #9I got to admit, this all looks pretty sweet, especially the fix to rdm auto, my personal pet peeve. But a word of caution to the pups and those about to bandwagon: THIS IS THE TEST SERVER! There is nothing to say how much of this will actually make it to the real game. Reading a few of the entries I'm skeptical of them reaching, or at least without a significant nerf from the current description.

HOLY...
AFK, DYING OF SUPREME BLISS
Wow, just... wow. The amount of win in these adjustments is so much that I feel like I won first prize in the California lottery. The only thing off the top of my head that isn't on here is making it so you can deploy automatons at 21 yalms so that magic bots can start casting out of range, adjusting sharpshot so it fires shots much quicker when its out of melee range, letting us get a real ranger bot when melee isn't an option, and having it so magic and ranger automatons don't run in to melee when deployed at max range. (though that would be prefered only if you did the other two adjustments I suggested)
Everything else is... Well, 3 years late, but incredibly welcomed by the community! Tell the dev team we love them now. Go ahead, Camate, give them a kiss for us! \/
