I understand that Puppetmaster might not be the greatest DD in the world, but with Oatixur, good gear, and Divinator it can be respectable. Except in any new content.

Keeping an automaton alive is a great deal of work, when a single WS can take it down 50%-75% and with only repair and items to keep it alive, and role reversal to keep it alive.

Maybe something to allow our pet to mitigate more damage, maybe changing replicator to no longer be when your HP is low, and having shock absorber be more potent.. And more native PDT.

It's just tedious having your automaton dead more often than it is alive.
