Since when has the way a jobs gear looked changed the way it preforms? what the *** game are you playing? Phoenix.Degs said: » Im saying when the job came out, people looked at it and LOLPUP crap.... The problem back then was that not many people understood how to play it properly. Then the few that did chose other jobs that could preform better without the high amount of tp feed. Am I being wooshed? Are we talking about aesthetics changing the way a job preforms? PUP also had crappy gear to use.

The job is quantifiable worse than mnk, automatons lack basic accuracy, buffs and other essentials, and the master alone is worse than a monk in comparable gear. I love pup, but pet jobs have been screwed over a lot by SE, the only thing that could redeem them is allowing Temps to hit both master and pet and to let outside buffs affect automatons, even then it's debatable how much that'd help. As it stands, pup cannot compete in VW, and it's difficult to even proc correctly. I'd take a mnk everytime. That being said, there's absolutely no reason to not take one for City Tiers I didn't say it was ideal, I said it could perform well, but the player would be better off on a different job. If an exceptional player is set on coming PUP because they ...god knows why, it's possible to contribute just fine (for most fights). I'll repeat though, how often are you willing to bet that random PUP is 95th percentile or above? That was more aimed at Zangada, I agree with you that PUP can perform ok as long as they're extremely well geared, yet I think that in that situation they'd probably have other well geared jobs.

My samurai SHREDS people in parses, and I give 0 f***s. Some days I just want to punch stuff and use pummel. Shiva.Galbir said: » dnc Odin.Ryuotas said: » Siren.Kalilla said: » reject a pup from joining your group, your next 10 white proc's are all pup That actually happened to me once. Some of my LS mates were in the same VW, and some blm D2'd me before we disbanded to reform the parties for the actual fight. He said "bring a useful job". Then my LS told me they got both a 3 and 5 proc (HQ and extreme), that were pup in only 4 kills of Pil. They were pretty upset actually because I didn't return to the fight. I just stepped out and let them go and do their thing. I like pup af, it looks cute on hume f and elvaan m

PUP with maxed out atmacites and a good pummel set can easily go toe to toe with any DD as well as outdo any DD. now, granted most of the PUPs these days are bandwagon Dynamis-Farm PUPs but a career PUP who knows what they are doing is very valuable from a DD standpoint. also, it is kind of bad that the only thing we have that affects pets is the healing salve and the clear salves. If we even get those...might be confusing with eazy buton abyzea it's not the puppetmaster, it's the puppet. they're freaky
I have to agree with the OP. Many ppl look down on PUP and ignores it's value, not only in VW but also in many other end game and non end game events. I go PUP to most if not all VW shouts in my server and only had one person rejecting me cause of me being PUP. I thank my server for trusting me. Even in my ls events I go PUP/MNK and i take care of the H2H, MNK, PUP and puppet procs since there is no MNK when i go. And i have found that i have outdmg most DDs. Only the top tier DDs with awesome gear i can't outdmg them. And even is not all about outdmging, is about surviving. I don't usually use a melee puppet since it will die fast and requires more attention. I use WHM puppet cause it will keep me alive and help the alliance whms heal the ppl in my group. Believe me, is a very reliable and fast response heal, removing enfebles and doing regen IVs to whoever is tanking it.
So i recomend PUPs everywhere to use their WHM puppets instead of the others for that reasson. And for the procs don't even worry too much, u can do puppets abilities with whm puppet with the corresponding attachemnt on. And unless is an EX proc, don't see a reasson to stop dding to set the puppet for a proc. And yes, PUP/MNK have more procs than MNK alone. To those non-PUP friendly guys out there, give PUPs everywhere a try for VW, they can perform fine and get the job done. And for God's sake...... DON'T FREAKIN PLAY PUP AS A BST!!! SE gave u H2H, use them!!! >< Carbuncle.Enuyasha said: » the excuse that PUP "cant DD or Zerg" is outrageous.

The reason people are so hesitant to invite a pup is due to all the gimp pos out there wearing af or aurore gear. Every job has players that are complete derps but its but for some reason you hardly ever see a rly pimped out pup. Unfortunately it takes a skilled player to unlock the full potential of pup... which the pup community seems to lack D= Offline

I see nothing wrong with pups af pupetmaster would be like an entertainer of sorts so their AF fits since jesters or fools were entertainers for kings and queens anyways i'm going to level a pup cause I have vere :D my monk loves it but now I can be like you want pup or monk so I can always be using my vere
Never thought I'd see the terms "PUP" and "Bandwagon" adjacent to each other.
It's not like I invite monks to vw cause I think they're the best DDs, so to me pup or monk is the same. However it's so true that many random pup you meet are...weird. Last time I partied with one he was just standing there throwing the puppet at the mob and getting close only when h2h was called and doing 1 ws at a time, waiting on regain...but then again I've also partied with a mythic pup who actually fought alongside his pets and made other dds look pathetic in comparison.
So random noobs can be met on any job so it's not like pup is a special case. On Phoenix we have an awesome Ragnarok drk who parses fights as high as a whm. Good or bad players exist for every job, that being said, pup wouldn't be my first pick when shouting either. The difference between PUP and "top DD" is that PUP is much weaker naturally, so there's absolutely no room for error.
Yes, you can push the job to its limits and come out competitively, but if you can do that, you would have, most likely, done better on another job. Most PUPs floating around aren't pushing the job to its limits. Lets face it: the intersection of "pet job enthusiasts" and "excellent players" is pretty small comparative to the size of either of the two groups. Offline
