    1. Given the autonomous nature of the puppet, we still are considered Puppet 'Master', would it be so out of place that we could actually command when and what weapon skill is used?
    We can. It's just not done through a menu.

    You can control which WS with maneuvers. You can control whether it does them to skillchain or as soon as possible. If you need to time it at a specific moment, retrieve as the puppet meets its WS conditions, and deploy and it will do the WS instantly.



    5. Magic Mortar: Please, I'm begging the development team to finally do address this. Or at least explain to players some secret we don't know about it if there is one.
    What's not to understand, the damage is based on the pet's missing HP. The closer to 1, the higher the damage. Unless something's changed...?

    I've given it plenty of testing about two months ago. What's not to understand about it is why it's trash whether the automaton has 100 HP or 3k HP. The difference in damage is so minimal, you may as well have the automaton at full HP every time. Therefore, the weaponskill needs an update...a change in its mechanics perhaps.

    It was nerfed into the ground in a patch because it was very exploitable in its original state (long as you could get its HP to 1, it did massive damage in certain circumstances). In other words, it's just a garbage WS now.
