Job Idea: Puppetmaster

[Mimilu]

I think the last time someone asked YoshiP about whether PUP was in consideration they got a flat "no" answer.

He said the team hadn't thought about adding it, at that time.
Do I think that it's going to be the second job in 4.0? Probably not.
That doesn't mean it can't be on the table for other expansions.
And even if it isn't, that doesn't mean people can't brainstorm about how it could fit in the game.

All right then, I suppose I can contribute that much. I'd much rather they moved away from the hideous Mammet Automaton designs from XI (and already found lingering about in this game) to something that can be taken more seriously, like some freaky mannequins or dolls. Additionally, I'd say they would be best served by dramatically reducing if not eliminating the damage output of the player, and shift instead to being primarily about remotely controlling the puppet.

This game comes to mind whenever anyone suggests PUP make a return, because the last thing I'd want would be another job with an extremely passive pet.
