    A tiny bit off topic, but still about the update. I hope these changes can change some peoples views, and end the hatred and bashing on how "bad" pup is. Alot of complaint i hear is the not so smart AI of the whm, and now that is its improved, I hope people will accept pup more now.

    Im very excited about the changes, and cant wait for the update to go live in the real servers

    It's looking nice for small parties, so far.
    Wouldn't really rely on that for end-game events though, of course. Can always play DD there, and would be awesome to mess around with sharpshoot if only they gave us a higher deploy range.

    Excellent post. I laughed quite hard at that.

    Messing around with it a bit, a few things I noticed, please correct me when I'm wrong:

    1) It still keeps on casting Silence on mobs that cast no spells (for instance, buffaloes in Aby-uleg)
    2) It only uses Cure5 and Cure6 like today's update reports, no trace of Cure4 like the post we got some weeks ago. Only time I saw it cast Cure3 it's because it was out of mp
    3) It uses C5 and C6 in a kinda random way. Never saw it use C6 when I was missing only a bit of HP (and this is good) but it happened a few times I was missing a good chunk of HP, automaton has lot of MP, and he still decided to use C5 instead of C6. Odd...


    Need some testing of Harlequin and Stormwaker now

    1: the devs seemed pretty happy with "equip the scanner" as an acceptable answer for that problem, even though it really isn't. I doubt they changed that.
    2: I haven't seen cure IV since I got cure VI, outside of low MP cures. My puppet just kept randomly doing what it did with Cure IV before, but did it with Cure V, so again, I doubt that's changed.
    3: I'm assuming you're testing in abyssea? Don't forget that abyssea cruor buffs, specifically the HP buff, fucks with HP% triggers something awful.

    But more importantly, DOES IT @%@#%!#!$ing PRIORITIZE CURES OVER NAS?!

    the cure 4 I think was a typo, just like I believe the new ability, their notes say 90 sec i think but its 2 mins.

    Please try harly, I still have a funny suspicion that harly is the one that casts dread spikes and absorb spells,

    Harli was the first puppet I tried, I couldn't get it to cast spells at all. All it does is Auto-Attack.

    The cure 4 thing was a typo, the original jap comment said cure 5/6.

    Uhm I must have misread Camate's follow up, because the way I got it he just forgot to add Cure VI, and not mistakengly putting 4 in place of 6.
    Wouldn't it have been better if the automaton were able to cast C4 OR 5 OR 6? Altough I guess we can't complain, having it use C5 situationally is still better than C6 spam as we had before.

    Oh and the C5 in place of C6 mixup I described earlier happens more often than I thought, altough it might be because of cruor buff like someone already said. Should try outside I guess.
