    Xiozen, you seem to be way over estimating this:

    Fire Attachment sounds like:
    Consumes 1 fire maneuver to add 10 tp on deploy
    Consumes 2 fire maneuvers to add 25 tp on deploy
    Consumes 3 fire maneuvers to add 50 tp on deply

    All of which are rather pointless since you will be giving up wind maneuvers for barrage or dark/lightning maneuvers for cannibal blade, and if you have burts your going to have 100 tp by the time you get 3 fire maneuvers up anyways.

    Verdict: Total fail
    Suggestion: Change to regain
    0 - 3 fire maneuvers adjusts regain from 1 to 10

    Power cooler
    Only viable for blm, and i cant stress how pointless that is. The blm is typically used for deploying with 3 ice up to nuke then deactivating, at best you use 2 nukes before you peel agro and have to deactivate before getting hit. If you use this with whm it will prioritize spells other then heals which you dont want, and cure vi would benefit far more for this then the blm does.

    Verdict: Partial fail
    Suggestion: Should have been a light attachment.

    Barrage
    No comment
    Verdict: Total win, stacks with other wind based maneuvers to enhance Sharpshooter. Only thing better would be if it didnt consume maneuvers

    Galvanizer
    Only really good VE since you typically use SS with wind and VE for melee. That being said, it is a welcome tanking attachment and will go well with burts.
    Verdict: Partial win
    Suggestion: Only thing better would be if we could control pet WS, aka this with cannibal blade would be complete win

    String Shredder
    Great in theory.
    Verdict: Depends, see suggestion
    Suggestion: Since Fire, Light, Thunder, and Dark already trigger ws this will be Ice, water, or wind. All of which make me so very sad since it will be harder to trigger since none of those are used with VE. I cant stress how badly we need the ability to pick ws.

    armor shatter
    Seems to have potential. Wind maneuver is still free as a trigger, which would completely rock as the trigger, and at 4 hits were looking at 3-4k since armor piercer is already 2k.
    Verdict: Potential for complete win
    Suggestion: Will have to see how defense down compares to ignores defense, but again this will depend on the maneuver to trigger, again we totally need the ability to choose triggers for ws.

    Then conversely you are grossly underestimating it...

    Where in the update are you getting the tp consumption for the fire maneuver... are you saying this is how it is now? Or did they release updates to the update explaining exactly how the new fire attachment will function? You mention it "sounds like"... this is your opinion... and as such I suggest waiting until post-update... less chance of being disappointed...since you wouldn't have set your expectations unreasonably high.

    Your opinions about the other attachments are great since that's how you play... hate to point out the obvious, but not all puppetmasters play the job the same way dude... so, making suggestions like what you've mentioned sorta boxes folks into Dfoley's way to play the job...which is abit obtuse.

    The jobs greatest asset is it's ability to customize... and be creative with how to play the job... bandwagoning this job is not the best way to play or tell someone to play--because its very flexible.

    Open your mind a bit and wait til the update is released to see how these things are implemented... only then can I suggest you state your opinion based on what YOU EXPERIENCE with regards to the update... cause it'll make much more sense.
