PUP Overpowered a little?

[Wolfe]

Puppetmasters, the only job that has never been taken seriously is now getting buffed up like a roid-raging wrestler. I have never seen a job so able to kite a mob that can wipe an entire alliance before. And guess what, I have seen it! After an entire alliance wiped, including the PUP, I witnessed the PUP get up, call his walking trash can (I can not honestly call Lobo, my automaton, anything but a walking trash can), and kite the mob while everyone in the party got raised AND unweakened. While repeatedly sacrificing his automaton, he was able to buy the alliance time to readjust ourselves. I sure wish a PLD could do that, like their job description denotes. I wonder how broken the game would be if everyone realized this little flaw.

Not to mention, how badly would the job get nerfed?

I admit, PUP is VERY understated. But that falls on people not equipping the automaton. And not even improperly, just not at all.

While the job is not one of my favorites, it is incredibly overpowered and getting more so with every update. Which amazes me that there are not more PUP out there.

And no, I am not knocking the job. You just have to be honest, PUP is pretty overpowered (finally?) and it is only getting worse with each update.

A BST or SMN gets claim on the mob. This claim will get the master killed if it was like AV.

Because you really think that a pup can kite AV while an ally unweak ?

To be fair, the DDA glitch allows PUP or any job with PUP as a subjob to hold AV indefinately without ever dying since his despawn timer is 3 minutes, he has 0 aggro range, and no "active" party hate. He'll regen during that time, but since AV is a zerg fight now, that fact is irrelevant.

DDA is the only uniquely useful thing about PUP, and AV + Jailer of Temperance are the only places I've seen it used. And it was a whm/pup doing the holding, not the mythical pup of doom that the OP is whining about. He clearly has yet to hear about the 64,000+ damage wildfires that corsairs are capable of.

Jesus titty friggen Christ? are there that many Fire MAB atmas out there?

With 3 PUP you can Deploy Deactivate ever 20 secounds to keep pop without a sacraficer to keep getting killed.

Anyone with or without Movementspeed gear. and /or /NIN sub can easy kite a mob around something. And dont forgett if only Automaton performs a action on a mob it stays yellow and is able to be stolen by anyone. PUP is underpowered.

[Dfoley]

1) An automaton can lock a mob, it wont stay yellow so I am not sure what awezomeos is talking about.
2) BSt and SMN can do the same thing, with smn being the best imho since their pets with ducal guard take next to no damage and bst with gear can get to -100pdt, neither of which is true about pup
