Puppetmaster Suggestions regarding Animators and Ammo

[jake3614]

I love this, especially the "plug-in" idea of the OP. A couple things:
1, Making an Animator a KI would be harder than it sounds. KI's are used by all jobs and I know of no case where a specific KI is used for a specific job. Titles, ticketts for gear storage, quests, etc do not count as theyre not used by one job only. This opens up a harder challenge in programming. Also, if multiple animators, which one takes priority? Since we dont fully know all the hidden effects, maybe one animator is better than another for specific situations.
2, Klimaform. It is the ODDEST af of any in the game. Just think about that and how SCH gets nothing better, though the spell is great, for the rest of the game. That is its af weapon. Im not disagreeing at all with you, but lets not forget that SE has done some wonky things to some of the jobs. This is just a "thing to make ya go Hmmmm."
Plug-ins. BRILLS! I love it!

Damn seems i was stealing motenten's idea, made a thread earlier about extending maneuver duration in either case great idea!~

I love the idea..

This would force people to work to obtain different animators and for the bonus's each provide would be acceptable.

Also, if they don't want to go through the work with multiple animators. Make the damn thing a KI and give us a PUP ammo slot.

Currently I macro (Xbox player) Ctrl+1 to place my animator and oils on, Alt+1 to switch to ammo item.

It would be nice to have the duration extended but please not through pointless activities like VW or Einherjar.
While Einherjar is an event where you can get what you want by simply attending, VW is a time sink that is a 100% luck based event so you can have it on your first attemp or never.

I would like to see the maneuverdurations extended and it's possible to integrate this idea into the idea of the OP.

I also agree that the duration extension is excellent as reflected in the tiered way based on the quality of the animator; I do not agree with the statement that the activities (Einherjar and VoidWatch) are pointless; I would suggest keeping the acquisition of the items the same, in an effort not to negate the work other Puppetmasters have undertaken in order to secure the items.

So instead of a "Slap in the face" maneuver and changing the way the animators are acquired, I would recommend adjusting the events somewhat to allow an easier way to acquire the items (easier, not necessarily...effortless or effort-free)... therefore you maintain some level of continuity without upsetting a player base that came before and undertook the events (in some instances multiple times---ie. Voidwatch) in order to finally get their hands on their elusive prize (deluxe animator).

Thx!

Just convert the animators to ammo slot, easiest and quickest solution I can think of.
