Man, Auto Repair kit IV. III is already a ton of regen it's gonna be hard to kill Valoredge with IV.

I was kinda joking in our LS earlier today that PUP is going to be the new OP bandwagon job. Maybe I was right??

Familiar Phys. Atk. and Def. Bonus Increases familiar physical attack, ranged attack, and physical defense by 30. 980
Familiar Phys. Acc. and Eva. Bonus Increases familiar physical accuracy, ranged accuracy, and evasion by 20. 1050

First gift is literally 10 spur JP now, lol.

Weapon Skill Damage Bonus Increases weapon skill damage by 5%. 1200

NIN 1200 gift is nice. DRG completely misses the point as usual. SMN looks nice. COR completely misses the point. SCH gets helix IIs, fucking nice and GEO gets -raIII.

Welp. Color me pleased. Dead game, etc, but fuck am I excited and happy.

I had one of our PLDs level PUP and spend about 50m in augments just in case.

[Tarage]

Again, it really depends on how the SMN gift works. I could easily see them being retarded and making it so that it never breaks the 30 second cap, thus making the gift useless.

[Yeager]

Well shit, if PUPs with PLD puppets are able to tank high end NMs & crap, then yeah I'm all for it. My PUP just needs a few decent-ish pieces and it's ready to go.

I am kinda okay with stealing FFXIV's FATE system for Escha? Honestly it sounds like they're taking WKR, putting it in Escha-Ru'Aun, and making it with old school HNMS.

Most of our early T3 Escha kills were with either BST or PUP tank. PUP already does perfectly well against 135 content if geared properly.

[Yeager]

What's your definition of "geared properly" though?

[The Assman]

Ranged pld puppet for dual kite tanking! Wait I thought some of those already stayed at a distance unless you brought them closer

If the mob is out of ranged attack or spellcasting distance, it will run all the way to melee range. I'm assuming this is supposed to make it stop at a ranged distance no matter what.

[Toth]

1200 JP...the thought alone makes my stomach turn. Especially for multiple jobs...

[BerenTebogo]

"Can my gear be better that it currently is" "Not really, no."

You are now geared properly.

[Gokulo]

Ugh I hate this, just starting work and can't keep my eyes off the forum lol

[Yeager]

That's my guess. For RNG puppet it'll stand at the "Sweet Spot" for ranged attacks, much like RNG players. And I'm guessing for mage puppets, max casting distance. Again, that's just a guess.

[Yeager]

"Can my gear be better that it currently is" "Not really, no."

LOL! Well ok then!

my dog just pissed on my bed because i woke him up laughing so hard. partly my fault for being so tired, but fuck you!

[BerenTebogo]

LOL! Well ok then!

Really, I don't know a lot about PUP. But for PUP tanking if it's anything other than "max out DT- possible, cap repair potency (?) and recast-, somethingsomething maneuvers" I'd be surprised.

[stamos]

Might not even need to repair if the regen from AR IV is significant

[Yeager]

IMHO, Repair Potency is irrelevant for the most part. With a good amount of Pet: PDT augments on Taeon gear + Pet: DT gear from other sources + Regen from the Repair Kits the PLD puppet is pretty tough to take down. Depending on how potent this new T4 Auto-Repair Kit, that may just make the PLD puppet nearly invincible.

[stamos]

Yeah, I am missing a total of 2% of Pet DT on taeon. Have two pieces with +3 instead of +4. And my retard gets hit for like 10-20 at most

[Tarage]

Considering how hard it's been to find PLD these days, I welcome our new PUP PLD overlords.

A reason to play long term! But man my MCN is almost 56 ><
