Puppetmaster Merits
I noticed this evening that while Otto is still gaining Magic Skill Ups, Automaton Magic Skill seems to hard cap at 444 skill. (Otto should be at 447 and rising at the moment.) so I am left positing a question to my Puppetmaster brethren, are all skills for the Automaton hard capped in this manner? as skills continue to approach cap, am I better off redoing my Tier 1 merits, or is this a known issue that SE is going to address?

Should do 5/5 Melee 5/5 Ranged whether it's hard capped or not.
no rngd merit!... 5/5 melee and 5/5 magic ALWAYS!

The black mage is too reliant on deactivate activate to double nuke. As for rng, well rng just keeps going. And can do some nice self sc with your pet.
I seem to have been misunderstood. if Otto's Magic skill before merits is 429, after gear and merits, it should be 449. (10 Skill from Cirque Pantoloni +2, and 10 from 5/5 Magic skill merits.) however, in the Equipment menu for the Automaton, it states that his skill is 444/444. is this "working as intended" or is there some sort of fix on the way? do Cirque Pantoloni +2 really render Cat. 1 merits moot at capped skill levels?
I am indeed using percolator, even without water maneuvers, the punch it has given my skill up rates has been noticeable.
Rng frame, though it is a very good for dmg, its not the best...
Ok so melee merits for one, you put into them because simply every frame can melee... secondly... there are 3 mage frames... not counting harly... so putting merits into magic makes sense... I can see your point.. but only if you are using rng frame more than 50% of the time... if you arent, its not worth it How long have you tried to skillup? ANd if you think that's the case, just drop off the merits and the legs for skilling up.
The only reason people ever meritted magic before was to learn blizzard 4. There is no reason to put merits into magic anymore.

this has gone far beyond the OP's original question... so i wish you all good luck and good night

You're already at cap for magic. Ramuh.Austar said: » 444 is cap. A+ is 424 skill, +10 from merits, and +10 from pants. Nothing is wrong, and you should merit ranged skill anyways. |
