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 a smn cant kite a mob while an ally unweak ? first news here...
Are they overpowered ? not really, like pup

[Awezomeos]

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.

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

If only the automaton performs an action on a mob. It stays yellow.
Like when your Alliance wipes to a mean dragon and the mob goes unclaimed, you cant claim it back with your pet only.

if it hits melee it doesnt stay yellow. if you are talking about flash or provoke, yes.
or if dad to nuke only.

Ah ok i dindt know that , i thought even with meleeing the mob stays yellow.
Anyway i still would like be able to claim mobs with ranger automaton. or even Flashbulb.

[Lushipur]

yes ranged hits should be able too and provoke, damn its provoke!!! how can i claim a nm if it stay yellow.

however, even if yellow it have some kind of hate. so, in order to be stealed, it necessary an amount of enmity superior of the one produced by the automaton (ok, its supereasy to steal it lol).

Thats the problem you can, so I am not sure what you are talking about. Im pretty sure nuking, ranged attacks, and melee will all lock a mob as long as you aren't deactivating as soon the spell/attack hits.

Spells like dia wont 'claim' a mob, and automaton voke wont either but pretty much everything else does

Last time I checked none of the auto's spells, abilities or ranged attacks claimed a mob ONLY it walking up to a NM and poking it does, and when it does so to a NM it kinda goes splat.
