Tested and approved. This is the way puppetmaster should have been from the beginning... some observations from a few hours of testing:

ValorEdge (Head/Body) tanked extremely well. Barely took any damage, most of the hits were "0" using Analyzer, Armor I/II, BarrierModule and Equalizer
It appears the best combination to solo with is the Stormwaker, believe it or not... that frame/head combination gives the Master (Stoneskin,Phalanx, Protect, Shell, and Haste), as well as casts Tier IV spells (I believe it also casts Thunder V)
Haven't experience this yet but the Spiritweaver Head/Harly body casts Dreadspikes, but only on itself, not the Master.
Whitemage frame doesn't appear to cast stoneskin on the master--but as usual it can cast up to Cure VI and Addle.

Still have to experiment with the Sharpshot frame and even more w/ Spiritweaver.

So far... all WIN....

Possible issue: Harly head/Harly Body doesn't appear to cast spells "AT ALL"... could be wrong but this may need to be revisited.
