xbobx, Ive done abyssea on PUP, and yes, the fast-paced, kill kill kill nature of it does make things abit more difficult in the way of controlling the automaton. I personally switched my automaton to blm or whm to focus on that, only switching to valoredge when we needed ws kills, and took my automaton's tp away with tactical switch, and leaving sharpshot out altogether. and, if my automaton built near 100% tp, I'd sideline him until I can tactical switch its tp to myself.
