But that said, one of the big factors in PUP being able to compete is the impact of JA delay, and they need to realize that this hurts the job more than they seem to think it does, and certainly more than any perceived benefit from making us more actively control our puppets.
I think the bigger reason is players being so uptight over 2-3seconds of delay, "killing" their DPS.

Anyway, I think increasing the elemental cap on automations would be a nice boost, esp for mage ones.
But I think we need a physical high DD automation. Valoredge is nice but a better tank then DD, though, doesn't keep hate very well at 99, but from the sounds of it, part of a FFXI system problem.

Wish we could get a DRK frame/head, or maybe samurai.
Either one would be really cool^^ Might be rather sweet looking too.
