If you do get invited into a party, it's the usual melee subs. Bismarck.Ruizutatakau

Ramuh.Laffter said: The thing about PUP is that it's not difficult to gear well for DD AND gear for the automaton. PUP only ever stands back if the mob is resistant to physical damage. So gear up like you're a misplaced MNK or something. Ramuh.Laffter said: xD Gear for DD. Simple. I was unsure until I checked Wiki, which said essentially the same thing. You're just a bit limited in that PUP only wears mage-y gear. PUP has great gear for leveling up. You should obtain pieces like Empress Hairpin, Aega's doublet, Battle Gloves, Herder's subligar and such. Attack earrings, DEX and STR rings, Eva back piece. Starting off is alot easier then it was years ago when PUP was introduced. Your H2H skill doesn't suck now and you have good pieces of gear at early lvs now, no need to gear it like a WHM. I think what he meant was PUP uses doublet and such a lot which i guess is kinda mage-y lol.

THFs, DNCs, MNKs, NINs, PUPs, DRGs etc use doublets so I disagree.

My only concern is that I'm like.. not used to using pet increasing gear on DRG unless it's HB macroing. So I don't really know what should be full timed or not :o Bismarck.Ruizutatakau said: THFs, DNCs, MNKs, NINs, PUPs, DRGs etc use doublets so I disagree. I guess but it can't use Chainmail/plate/harness type gear ^^ cept for the few exceptions. Okay, lemme rephrase it.
PUPs don't use anything above cloth gear and the odd "All Jobs" stuff. :/ Which, according to nearly every game known to man, is most usually equipped by mages. So no. Not wrong. And also, I would like to point you to the wiki, a valuable source of information, which does indeed have guides for gearing up for DD as PUP. They resemble gearing up MNK, so not wrong there either. I may not have it leveled, but I don't talk out my ***. EDIT: Of course, you do need to include the pet-beneficial gears as well, since you're working with a pet. Bismarck.Ruizutatakau

You mention a WHM-specific piece of heavy armor. That totally helps your argument.
For the level he is at currently, he's going to gear for DD since you can't do fancy stuff on PUP yet.

They resemble gearing up MNK, so not wrong there either. I may not have it leveled, but I don't talk out my ***. MNK shares a line of gear with SAM and NIN and compared to PUP is significantly different enough to not compare it to MNK. In the end MNK and PUP like all other jobs focus on almost all of the similar stats that any job would. You can compare PUP to THF if you wanted since a lot of the gear they can use is similar while a lot is different, i.e. Scorpion Harness and Antares Harness. Also as for Subjobs which Glaciont asked about earlier, DRG, WAR and NIN are all viable with all of them having their places. For General PUPpery, /WAR is best for DoT. /DRG gives you acc and attk and 5% haste in ear slot which at the level you can get that is pretty bad A. NIN is mostly for soloing or group situations where you need shadows and that's it. /SCH is a special situational sub for Sleep Nuking, which requires it's own build. Don't worry about SCH unless you really want to invest into PUP post 80. I used MNK as it's the closest comparable job to PUP. But yes, I thought it was insinuated that you would gear for melee.
As for /sch, I admit I don't know all that much about it, but the few career PUPs I know swear by it even for soloing. Bismarck.Ruizutatakau

I did /MNK till 25 (When you get your own Martial Arts trait) then I did /DRG till about 50 when you get DBL ATT and Berserk from /WAR, SCH is a really fun solo sub but not much use in pts.
Pandemonium.Spicyryan said: Lakshmi.Glaciont said: Thinking about taking up PUP as a hobby job. Anyone got any tips, suggestions or just things to know :o? Suggest 1: DO NOT LEVEL PUP! Suggestion 2: Realize PUP is lol level what you like and remember people who lol probably have less about them than your automaton :) Carbuncle.Ronson said: with the right attachement setup if you skill chain off backhand blow and daze you can hit 1200+dmg(player ws excluded) with x3 fire manys up...i persoanly have hit about 700 because i dont have certain attachments but i have witnessed other pups doing 1200+ rng dmg at lvl 55 :) how in god's name can you use Daze with 3x fire maneuver, when fire maneuvers force Arcuballista.....? I'm smelling some BS... PUP may be a joke, but it's a good one. Enjoy it!
Lakshmi.Glaciont said: So basically, I should focus on gear that helps the Auto and not the Master? So stuff like Usukane and Juogi is useless? How should I prioritize gear like that x.x? Ah right, haste+3 for you and the auto. Good call.
new Shaolin Belt isn't bad either..has auto haste+3 and "enhances martial arts"

That DEX and STR rings better be you saying rajas. A PUP had a problem with my bazaar saying PUP is a *** joke and then went on to say he had a spinel ring for TPing. Oh, I just enjoy a good laugh. Eva cape? See, I kick PUPs who do that in a pt. That or tell them to go pull and then kick them. Lower levels before 55 get a pass though since there is a lack of DD capes.

You were doing great, until, Bismarck.Cordareo said: You can compare PUP to THF if you wanted since a lot of the gear they can use is similar while a lot is different, i.e. Scorpion Harness and Antares Harness. What the *** is wrong with all of you!? Cordareo you can not say that about gear for MNK and PUP and then say that about gear for THF and PUP. ***. So anyways Spicy, Ruiz was implying Rajas and another ring for weaponskilling since we don't get acc rings until later. Also, I'm sure he wasn't meaning to use an EVA cape post BMantle. :) Also, when I said what I did about comparing PUP and THF I was making an example of how you can compare it to other jobs but it still doesn't compare simply because each job has a different focus, but a lot share gear. This was done because Laffter was saying to gear it like a MNK, which isn't possible since MNK gets massive haste gear at it's disposel along with A+ H2H giving it unmatched DoT with H2H. I wasn't comparing THF and PUP to show that it's closer then MNK and PUP. Sorry, but you just spent probably 15 mins writing out that huge reply to everything in this thread wasting your time since you did nothing but make yourself look like a moron who really just tries to make others look dumb. Please, if you are going to attempt to treat others like crap, have a better reason.

Automaton Attachment:Inhibitor When master is below 90% TP: The automaton will spam weaponskills freely. The weaponskill used will be based upon which maneuvers are active, as normal. When master is above 90% TP: This attachment will force your automaton to save TP until a party member uses a weaponskill it can skillchain with. The automaton will ignore all maneuvers when attempting to skillchain. It will prioritize the highest weaponskill it has, that will still cause a skillchain i rest my case Pup is cool, it's sad it can never be taken seriously :(
If I could be bothered with FFXI anymore, I'd level PUP as a hobby/solo job.
