    Neat Puppetmaster Trick

    Basically, this is an experiment where you use PUPs with mage frame to constantly nuke for no hate.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NL_ToS2ZCk

    It's hard to see its true effectiveness since there's barely any PUPs to work with. The general idea is there though.

    Think there are any potential uses for this?

    Or maybe it's just a cool trick with no practical application...

    It works for lvling Pup, but since you lose claim I don't see HNM usefulness

    Dare to try on a BCNM or something?

    Before the ADD nerf, I was doing this to skill up magic/xp on T-VT. Took forever to DoT something to death. This was around level 15 or so. One other thing you need to consider is how easy someone can steal your mob. Some fucker did that after I got a VT dhalmel down to like 15% in Tahrongi Canyon. I've had my share of stolen NM's from soloing BST already, dont think I could stand anything else.

    I noticed the other day actually while soloing war/pup (lol). I deployed Muffin on a lizzie w/ light up, assuming he would cure III me and then I could retreat. He casted slow instead, and was one shotted by the lizard, who then acted like I had done nothing to him.

    Go go gadget Tekken 5 music!

    How would this work against something like Diabolos Prime? Could six PUP's stand on the ledge and repeat this trick until Diabolos dies?

    Probably not. I'm guessing the Draw In would suck up both the Automaton and the master, if not the entire party. There's also the issue of that nasty 30-minute time limit.

    It would be a waste if you're not a SAM, though. =\

    That looks cool, but aside from the monster being able to be stolen at any point, how fast do you think 18 PUPs doing that would really be on some NMs? That 6 man jorm by Poisoned LS took 3 hours with DoTs and some nukes, it seems like this would take even longer than that. It doesn't work for BCNMs either I don't think, due to 15, 30, 1 hour time restriction.
