These are special characteristics of beastmaster and puppetmaster, and as such we do not want to take this away from them and change this system.

In regards to puppetmaster DPS, we will be adding new high-tier versions of attachments for automatons in the future, so please hang tight for this adjustment.
I understand that about wyverns.....but: I was not implying anything like wyverns. What I am suggesting is a job ability that makes the automaton auto-link to me when I hit something. On top of that, the automaton would still be able to be set to fight another target even after it engages something I hit, via /ja Deploy <t>. We can currently do this withn avatars (well, all of the time), so....why not with automatons, and even I guess BST pets?
