If Puppetmaster were ever introduced, I'd want it to be the "Monk" of the magical ranged DPS. Your automaton would have some ground target move option and would stay in that position until its cooldown is refreshed so you'd hit positionals for higher potency attacks. These would have cast times so you'd also worry about mechanics as a mage vs. melee DPS. I'm not sure how the new SMN is but maybe this could be the new "DoT" job. I haven't really thought this through but I like the idea of actually "puppeting" something and this kinda plays more to that fantasy.
