Understanding Puppetmaster Development

[Cyranda]

I still think the OP was pointless as all of it was already stated in other threads before this, sorry to burst your e-bubble.

You must be talking about something else, given that this thread was started about the changes on THE DAY OF the changes and included mention of things that weren't even known until after they were rolled out. I'd find it hard to believe that an inordinate number of people had mentioned, say, the poor damage of AS prior to my post, much less before they had even released it and anyone knew. Even if it were, as unlikely as that is, repeating other threads, reiteration and expounding on issues are common in conversation and completely worthwhile.

I find it hard to say burts does nothing
Its more dmg and less delay then 90% of the trial weapons,

Most of end-result Magian weapons have the same damage and slightly higher delay, and those which people actually use have much better effects than allowing your pet another WS every 5 minutes. It's not like people were going out and getting +CHR Magian weapons. Comparing current-iteration Burats to most of the Magian weapons is like comparing the tastiness of unsweetened baking chocolate to that of a table. Since no one is going to eat the table, it doesn't make a difference what the chocolate tastes like. However, the taste of the baking chocolate, outside of the comparison, is not something anyone is going to enjoy.

It adds 1 regain and for stuff like bcnm / hnm its useful to have full tp on pet, switch to a good weapon, then tactical switch, (for people with verethragna/rev fists)

It takes 5 minutes for the weapon to tick up like that. It'd be a lot more efficient to get an Opo-opo Necklace and some sleeping potions, which is easier, faster and means you don't have to waste time getting a weapon that is otherwise useless.

Best of all, it took no trials, and can be gotten in as little as a single 30 min trip to abyssea.

You can win the lottery in as little as $1, too. Chances are, however, it will take days/weeks depending on how long it takes to change your demilune and get a group together to do it - a group who would be willing to waste their time for you to get what is now a worthless weapon from a T3 monster who people can't be bothered to fight because it doesn't carry anything else that's valuable. It's especially uninviting when anyone could go beat up easy monsters during weather/day for the same potential amount of time and get something much better.
