Puppetmaster Gear

[Pic0o]

I just dinged 10 on my Puppetmaster and now I can go for one of the new Automation Attachments Parts. I bought quite a few, and need to go back to farm again. :o

 

For Gear, the Wiki has a nice Item list for the job. I am lovin the No Recast time if you fully heal Puppet before release. I have my Automation Body and Head Upgrades running some of the Attachments too. A detailed post with info on each Body piece can be found @ the link.

 

I see Maneuver use is the trigger for activating those enhancements from Automation Parts. I will tinker with this when I level from 10+. Your limit on the amount of Maneuvers is based on your chances of Overloading.

 

Overload is a negative status effect which removes all maneuvers and prevents their use for a period of time. The automaton will also receive the effect of weight while overloaded.

The threshold can hold about 96-99 seconds of burden-time. This means you can apply two maneuvers without overloading, if your stats are above the automaton's (45+45=90 seconds of burden-time). The third maneuver would then be safe to apply, 45 seconds after the initial maneuver. The AF gloves add about 12-15 seconds of burden-time to the threshold.

 

This info on Overload comes from the below Alla Link.

If you have used any particular element's maneuver too frequently you run the risk of Overload. When this happens all your manevers will be erased and you will be unable to recast new ones until the overload status fades. Unproven but commonly accepted ways to avoid this status include using maneuvers of the opposite element to counteract the effect, or not using the same maneuver again within a 60 second time frame. More testing is required to separate fact from fiction regarding Overload.

 

Also of note, is a cap of 3 Active Maneuvers at a time. Info from This Alla Topic

 

I got most ingredients for the Melee, but I'd like to do RNG first. Done and scored RNG Puppet. ;)

 

Items Needed for RNG Puppet

 

* 1x Rosewood Lumber

* 1x Karakul Cloth

* 1x Karakul Leather

* 1x Repeating Crossbow

 

Yay, New Frame @ JST midnight (~11am EST). RNG Pup is Go, and I'm broke. :P Farmin til bed while watchin STNG on Sci Fi. ;)

 

I'll picked up my RNG Puppet Body and Head over lunch here in the office.

 

I also have a dump from Alla on PUP Gear available. The guide selects the premium gear for your level ranges, but if you want a list with standard gear, the link will do ya.

 

Here is a list of worthwhile Items for the 10-30 range that I don't have currently. I notice that + EVA seems to be my friend, as like BST, your Pet is the master of your fighting. I noticed I only tend to melee when I'm leeching up EP's, but I'm also only level 10 PUP. :P

 

Equipment (Red = Acquired gear)

10 - 19

Brass Bagnakhs - Weapon @ 11

Brais - Legs @ 11

Light Soleas - Feet @ 13

Battle Gloves - Hands @ 14. These are on my mule.

Bird Whistle - Neck @ 15. On my mule.

Hope Ring - Rings @ 14. I might pick these up, or just use my Dex or Str Rings.

 

20 - 29

Martial Slacks - Legs @ 24

Lynx Baghnakhs - Weapon @ 24

Empress Hairpin - Head @ 24. To camp again. :lol: I just hope less BS since Rare/Ex.

Various Earrings and such from Mules

 

30+

Merc Captain Headgear - Head @ 30

Merc Captain Doublet - Body @ 30

Merc Captain Belt - Belt @ 30

Sarcenet Cape - Back @ 30

 

Merc Captain Gear. Most I have on mules.

 

Hmm, CHR seems to thwart overloading a bit, good thing I still have some ~20 range +CHR gear.

 

Of note, these two Macros need to get rolled into my PUP Macros, so I can gauge things cleaner.

<pettp> = Puppet TP<pethpp> = Puppet HP%

 

If the 40's and 50, I can Quest for the Soulsoother Head and Spiritreaver Head. At level 20, I will unlock the Valoregde Head and Body, then the Melee body @ 30. I currently have the Rng Automation Sharpshot Frame and Head.

 

Also of note, I can start using Automation Oil @ 15 to be my Pup HP fixers. :P Bless Repair @ 15.

 

If you grow weary of bad XP parties, you do have the power to solo, and you can find feedback here on where to XP.

Level Sync'd some Worms and shit to 17 or 18 :^^: Mad fun, and I forgot most of this stuff. :P Chr Help for sure, rarely an Overload. :)
