What are you wielding?

[Etrigan]

Just curious as to what my fellow Puppetmasters are wielding these days.

I have been running around with Burattinaios even post-Regain gimp and ofc the Taipan Fangs +3 for when I nuke.

I have started working on Verethagna but intend to use it primarily on my MNK.

Outside of that do we have any PUPs that have Kenkonken these days?

[Anza]

Fire Taipan +3 for me. Ice would still be great for nuking situations. I still keep Burts on the off chance I needed them for a rare automaton-only situation.

Vereth should be FAR more common than Kenkonken, since it's very difficult these days to do the tasks asked to get a Mythic (especially b/c of Alexandrite supply, need for Einherjar credits, people to help do the needed ZNM/Assault portions).

I use Revenant Fists +2 for DD, and ice path Taipan Fangs +2 (still farming geodes for +3) for my BLM puppet.

fire, wind, ice taipan +3 working on emp.

[Hayward]

Afflictors for me (you'd be surprised how often Kick Attacks occur without a natural JT). I have WS Bonus Barracudas +3 for MNK, but I'm not sure about switching.

[Dawezy]

Taipan Fangs +3 STR VIT AGI, use AGI most the time for when I'm soloing.. VIT when I know I'm gonna take a beating.

Occasionally play with the Barraccudas +3 / WS DMG+10%.

No plans to get the Empy, way too much involved.

Except the ice path, nobody do a weapon for the maton ? There a ton of pup on my server who did a PDT weapon for their automaton (earth path), i know it's a situational gear but i'm surprised that noone here did it. Same for the fire path, long time ago i see a ton of pet : att/ranged att weapon but they seem to have disappeared.

I'm using Verethragna, but if Burattinaios still had their old 10tp/tic bonus I'd probably be using them.
Don't have any Pet: weapon (yeah I know... I'm lazy), when I use BLM automaton and I don't melee myself I usually equip Marotte Claws for the refresh/regen.
Inside of Abyssea I'd have no doubt about getting the Pet: MAB Taipans. Outside of Abyssea... I dunno, I'd be in serious doubt between those and the Pet: Macc ones.
You do have Tranquilizer as an option (expensive option! :P 3 mils on my server), but someone might prefer to equip something else in its place and put macc on the weapon.

Dunno, tbh it's not like the majority of people is gonna use Spiritreaver Automaton on stuff that actually need Macc, and the rest of the mobs are so easy that you don't need macc on them so you might as well stack more damage with Mab.
Really, I'm a very undecided-kind of person, guess it shows right?

Wonder if Pet: PDT has a cap, and wonder if and how it will stack with the new PDT earth attachments.
I guess PDT taipans look much less hot nowadays (compared to what they did a long time ago) because of several atma options and because of the new incoming earth PDT attachments, but they're still a very good option.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the "let pet do everything" style of play. When I want to play that way I just go BST, not PUP. When I'm on PUP I like to play together with my Automaton, and for that kind of style -PDT is not really as necessary as it is otherwise, I guess.

I agree with what you said (i dont use my pet as tank myself), but it was just curious for me that many pup of bismark started (idk if they have the +3 now) the PDT H2H for the automaton and noone mention it here ^^
