We definitely need a Puppetmaster Job in this game!

Puppetmaster

Pupp in FFXI was a melee damage character with hand2hand weapons just like Monk.


My Suggestion:
Pugilist class

1. Job: Monk (h2h damage dealer)
2. Job: Puppetmaster (h2h petclass)

PUPP could be the second job for the Pugilist class. Just like the ACN has two jobs (SMN & SCH).
He uses the same weapons just like monk.

- reduced damage by 40% in comparison to MNK and PUG
- customizable pet - the ,,automaton": equip your pet with different skills/attachements;

some attachments examples of FFXI:
Turbo Charger II - A wind-based automaton attachment. Functionality: Decreases melee physical attack delay.
Vivi-Valve II - A light-based automaton attachment. Functionality: Increases "Cure" potency
- 4 different types of ,,automaton frames": BLM , WHM , PLD , RNG

Types of automaton frames:
Basic Automaton


,,Stormwaker" frame (RDM)

in FFXI: ,,The Stormwaker frame's melee attacks deal blunt damage. The Stormwaker has low defense, low evasion, low HP, and high MP.
With the Stormwaker head, it is often referred to as the Red Mage Puppet. It has curing magic, enfeebles, and elemental nukes. It will only cure the Master and itself."

,,Spiritweaver" (BLM) frame


,,Soulsoother" frame (WHM)


,,Sharpshot" (RNG) frame

abillities in FFXI:
- Daze is a one-hit piercing attack with a stun effect
- one-hit piercing attack that (possibly) ignores the target's defense.
- Armor Shatterer Delivers a fourfold attack with a additional effect that Weakens defense, the additional effect duration varies with TP

,,Valoredge" frame (PLD)


So PUPP cant have all these ullities at once, only some of them if he has the specific pet out with the specific attachments.

Lastly a video of PUPP automaton frames:
