Happy for the Puppetmaster skill increase ^>^
Skills won't increase, just the physical/magical accuracy for pets ilvl 100+

Well, in my defense, when I saw Puppetmaster, I automatically assumed Automation since the Master mostly stands around and lets the automation do the work...

Or really, the Master is a gimp MNK.

I wonder if you can engage out of range, get a Daken proc, and still attack the mob.

It might be the first truly automated ranged attack that's not a pet

A Puppetmaster unable to fight alongside his automaton is not a Puppetmaster I wish to meet. We're not BSTs, and in the few instances where we pretend we are, I'm sorely disappointed. :/

pup however think they are special and this great gift to any party.
Anyone who does this is severely annoying and more often than not the PUPs who actually believe this are often terrible at the job themselves. Obviously there are exceptions but the point still stands PUPs, well honestly anyone, should never think of themselves as some great gift upon a group. Everyone can be replaced.

Funny you mention this. When I read over the details, I actually thought this would be a cool idea to have as a job ability (similar to MNK footwork) where for a specific amount of time, it converts all melee hits into really fast shuriken throws. The Daken+1 I almost read it as "Double Shot", as in, you can fire two shurikens on one attack round.

@_@ at the step recast changes.
I'm surprised at that since it has significant effect on dynamis JA staggering speed with steps if you can do it 3x faster.
Also being able to climactic rudra's more frequently + stronger dagger skill will be nice.

Not to mention that FM generation should be quick enough to get around the Reverse-vs.-literally-anything-else problem.

This really is going to have a dramatic effect on Dynamis, and thus the economy as a whole. 800-currency runs are not out of the question if you have no competition.

AF3 most likely. I love the BLU adjustments, I hope there are more to come. I think the Atomos is interesting.

So will taking skill from A to A+ make much of a difference? I would assume no?

Months of waiting for something to equalize War with mnk/Sam and they give us a 5% increase to berserk. What game are they playing?

I have really mixed feelings on fast step recast for non main dancer, that's just broken in the hands of thf main for dyna. Most camps barely support 1 person already.

THF already get a free pass to D/VD battlefields because of TH and if they can get away with /dnc instead of /nin, they bring super fast step building to the table now even if it caps lower.

This was my immediate thought as well. Should be dnc-main only for step lowering.

Leveling throwing isn't too bad, mine is still pretty low but I've been casually levelling it by using any excuse to throw my boomerang on thf, if I actually tried to skill it up I'd just bring out the moogle trust and have a /ra script on a reive.

Play something else and keep peeking over to see that the reive is still up/I'm not dead, job done.

For quite some time? Since before the devs announced they would be looking for a way to make wars attack power on par with that of a mnk?

It's only like 7 skill, so not really.

Dancer's getting 20 skill out of this, though.

Berserk needs like job haste. 30% + merits and JP augments are nice but war is kind of slow compared to mnks and sams.

In general i've had pretty positive experiences with WAR DD, they tend to be very well geared and have ukon/rag for weapon, and match serious sam dps.
Need a heavy dd and shout for a sam, but there's a good war available? just take the war.

Really nice to see skill increases for many jobs; however, the DD mage in me is definitely disappointed lol

Was just hoping for a dagger increase on Brd (B- to B+), a sword increase on Rdm (B to A-), and perhaps staff increases for Smn, Blm, and Sch (up to B+ probably). Now that I look at them, is there even an A- skill rating? Seems like there's only jumps from B+ to A.

Oh well, isn't a big deal at all anyways.

If red mage got a sword increase and corsair didn't get anything, I may have had a serious meltdown.

Right!! Was going to mention that job too, but focused only on mage jobs.

Edit: As a side note on Cor, I've always been disturbed as to how they have higher Dagger skill than Marksmanship...

That's the issue with having a super powerful, but slower delay weapons.

But capped haste? WAR is more powerful than SAMs and MNKs, especially those who are 5 hit WARs with Conqueror.

No doubt, corsair should have top marksmanship skill. They still don't think cor can shoot

But Conqueror wars aren't all that common nor do they keep up with Koga Sams.

I'll need to poke some crap with Koga SAMs then.

Problem is, I doubt CCL would want to do anything with me lol.

Could it be their survivablility why people look at war with the side eye?
