Questions for the Community Rep Moogles

I meant more like stay the command..as in it will remain still till commanded to engage or retrieve., it would still move into range when deployed to atk, this should result in their natural max distance for atk <ranger and mage> but will ease pet positioning as well i think...but you actually make a great point on one thing, having to deploy is another bit that could be mounted onto it, where in this "stay" command it will still cast buffs/na/cures...that actually would be supreme for when you dont want your whm bot in range i think. i mean i know it isnt perfect or anything but i think it would be great if at the very least positioning , as in when the mobs attention moves the battle to point b and your pet ends up meleeing its face which in tern makes it eat breath spells, and the only way then to reposition would be to move yourself back retieve and redeploy or dance with the mob and spin it.

..i hope that made sense lol

I would love to see it so if you deploy, no matter what, it goes in to melee range.

With the stipulation that they add specialized deploys:
level 20: Deploy at range (For SS, forces it to stay at max range)
Level 50: Deploy on party (For whm/rdm, allows for beneficial spells to be cast outside of combat/without a BT)

Oooh that would be a cool idea, but it's sooo not going to happen :P

they said the same thing about spells being on their own cast timer and about puppet casting the correct cure and about haste and dispel...u get the point ;p

any chance we are seeing this changes this year? anyone knows?

[Dfoley]

I was thinking it was gonna hit test late this week/next week, then prolly live by december. But with the new update schedule its hard to tell.

[Kayn]

they mention thf war and scholar updates, but there's no mention of puppetmaster updates, not even on the roadmap or on the text on the post, i think we need some kind of clarification from one of the mods.

[Zhronne]

I always assumed it would have gone live with the next big patch (i.e. the level 99 cap).
January?

[Kayn]

according to the road map, November.

according to the road map, November.

The road map is for the test server. So the actual update would most likely be a month or so later.
