Questions for the Community Rep Moogles

yeah need to see some testing, but i somehow think it might not be enough, i mean i still see the puppet getting one shotted on several occasions and by simple analysis of the information given, i would wager it not being enough. In particular when you compare it to the sweet buff wyverns got last update. Had my wyvern tanking an NM for a bit while i waited for back up lol.

[Chamaan]

Think you could tell us straight out if we get dread spikes too or if the puppet only casts it on itself? It'd settle a few bar bets.

And yeah, we need to see just how much the -pdt on attachments will be. What I'd actually like to see is an Occasionally Annuls Damage attachment. Something that activates at like 5% with no maneuvers would make a fantastic dark slot attachment for non-casting jobs that wouldn't get dread spikes anyway. 20% null damage with three darkness up isn't completely OP for Valoredge or Sharpshot, considering you lose all the buffs from your other maneuvers for a 1/5 chance of dmg negation.

Or more realistically, something for severe damage that eats a dark maneuver.

It's going to be an earth maneuver for that, more likely than not, since all of the spells that handle "severe damage" are Earth element.

Schurzen already does something very similar, and it is indeed an Earth attachment. Doesn't work on magic damage though.

Did they say anything about the Sharpshot frames Ranged attacks being able to critical hit after this latest pupdate?

No, and that's likely never going to happen because it would be too much of a hassle for them to do it.
Basically ranged attacks cannot crit because they are considered TP moves, not real Ranged Attacks.
TP moves cannot crit, hence Sharpshoot's ranged attacks cannot crit either.

I have no clue why they had to code Sharp's ranged attacks that way. Why didn't they code them as "Ranged attacks" from the beginning? I wonder what the real problem was...

I'm surprised no one has said "Let us deploy on players that we want the automaton to cure" in this thread yet.

(i know it's not related to deploying the puppet to cure but still >.>)
I see a bad picture coming with that...

THIS JUST IN!
RAGE OF THE PUPPET(master?)!

Today we've received word that puppets around the world are turning against the humans! Who is to be blamed for this sudden onset of slaughter? Why it's our fellow colleges the Puppetmaster! Here's a puppetmaster now!

Puppetmaster, What made you throw your puppet at that poor thief?
<Puppetmaster> "He called me Lolpup!"

But doesn't everyone call "pup" Lol?
<Puppetmaster> "Yes. It's why they should watch their backs!"

You heard it here first folks don't call puppetmasters "lolpup" or you're liable to wind up with a puppet attached to your ankles!

Now that I think about it, it would be fun to throw my puppet at people who say lolpup...

It's almost "the end of next week". Can we get an update on if we can try this stuff out over the weekend? I'd like to know so I can clear my Saturday to just spend some quality time with Sancho.

[xbobx]

You should know by now that when SE says" try by end of the week" you should add another 2 weeks on that.
