And yet some people seem to know everything about the mechanics of the job system that has been just slightly touched upon in conversations. Funny.
Anyway, to the people who think PUP was a cop out, screeeeew you. (Kidding, sorta). Puppetmaster was my favorite job.
Anyway, yes. I do believe the Lamia race were indeed necromancers for all intensive purposes. I suppose they might have been hard to add in ffxi, but the skies the limit with 14. I could totally see them maybe adding in(if they do indeed start requiring more than 1 class for certain jobs) THM and perhaps a pet-based job that will come in the future creating Necromancer.
...I..really don't care now, I just want Puppetmaster again! /cry
