It was simply to illustrate what is possible.

Look, try to wrap your head around this: No one's saying that the blm puppet is there specifically to replace a black mage. It still pumps out respectable numbers that other players must put forth effort in order to achieve. It is there for utility and flexibility, two traits you don't seem to comprehend. There are mobs out there that you don't want to get close to. And before you say "just go BLM" not everyone wants to play BLM. The automaton can also do things players can't, like cast while moving, which is extremely useful. No one is here trying to say that DDing on pup is bad and BLM puppet is just flat out better. No one is saying this. It does, however, have its uses. Crap is situational.

Generally, MAB adds more damage than INT. unless your INT is so low that you're recieving a penalty to damage.

You're darn right you're a troll. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I guess your "I am a jerk" signature should have clued me in. Time to ignorelist you and find someone worthy of discussing with.
yeah every blm cast less than 1 spell a min ............................................................................................................... and the Troll is you not me troll.

just because smn can pop out heavinly strike for alot every min doesnt make them any less useless because its NOT enough damage if you really think a blm will die from going bam bam bam youve never seen how much 1 BAM takes out of the mobs HP.. doesnt take long to kill things and mana wall and enmity douse are things.


i also wasnt telling you that pup cant drop a good number here and there im here to inform you that in all situations a blm WILL beat a pup+blm pet.
