New job adjustmentsFollow

New attachments:

Upgrades to current Basics ones from high end group content, rare / ex:
Stuff like loudspeaker III, tension spring III, Armor plate III

Advanced forms of current ones/new ones from HNM type mobs (also rare/ex):
Turbo charger II, drum magazine II (no -acc, even more -dly). icemaker II

New ones from void watch (most likely tradeable):
most likely unique ones like weve been getting recently where the pokemon player in us wants to catch em all but can figure out why

One direction that that could be shooting for is turning Valoredge into a true "tank" puppet. Assuming they've realized that Sharpshot can handle the physical DD role, they could be trying to add more tools to let us use Valoredge as an actual tank.

They've finally let Valor use the shield for shield blocking, so that's one step towards it. A second healing ability would compliment it as well, I'm thinking a "Repair" type ability with no regen, but on a shorter timer, hopefully not using a consumable, but either way... They could also make attachments that further the idea as well, maybe another enmity attachment, stuff in that vein... and more Stout Servant would be nice too...

There's also evidence that they're trying to match the puppet frames to their PC-job counterparts further and further. We recently got a "Barrage" attachment, and Cure Potency as well, so something like s "Elemental Celerity" attachment for Spiritreaver isn't out of the question. I'd also like to see a Mana Booster 2, and a new Drum Magazine (without the accuracy down, of course.)

And let's not forget the most important attachment prospect of all... Tactical Processor 2. We need even faster "decision-making time."

Mine where just guesses.

For the most part pup attachments have always been available at level 1 and have been all tradeable. The only way to make it so some pups are better then others, is to introduce attachments that either have a required level or are rare/ex from group/hnm content.

Turbo Charger 2 is a prime example, if it had a required level of 99 to equip on the pet, was rare/ex, and came from HNM mobs, i think it would be totally balanced if it was double the current turbo chargers haste values.

Well currently its 5/15/20/25

so something like 10/30/40/50 for a level 99 required attachment from an HNM drop seems fair. It would clearly make the pups who raid/do end game content stand out from regular pups who just buy all the attachments.

Well, I have an attachment idea (less of a suggestion, more of a prediction). Either earth or fire based, reduces enmity loss from taking damage. They're giving pld enough abilities/gear with that effect, I forsee them giving automatons likewise.

Also, while I doubt this is what they have in mind, I have this idea that I think would be an interesting direction to take pup in. Specifically, a sort of scavenge-like ability that gives temp items. The most basic version would be on use gives a stack of temporary 'Deluxe Automaton Oil'. This would help with out inventory issues and I think not be too imbalanced at all.

This idea though, I feel could be expanded upon. See, there are two things I think of when I think pup: A sort of mime/trickster class, obviously, but it also makes me think of a class almost sort of like chemist from ff tactics. And further abilities to grant temporary items might possibly grant the job a sort of pseudo-minor support role. Not ever gonna happen, but I think it's an interesting idea, personally.

I am hoping they add more attachments that not only upgrade what we have but also make each from more unique. One wonders about higher level attachments and their play on elemental capacity. Shield block and damage taken attachments would be nice for valor of course. I would also like to see one that guards against most status effects for the auto.

Thanks for saving me the trouble! I don't know PUP well, so I wanted to double check wiki before I translated the abilities. Thanks :)

And the part at the top basically says that as mentioned in the Job Manifesto PUP is a highly versatile job that requires a lot of skill to operate the automation. You have to use the attachments as to not overload your pal but it is difficult to confirm the exact effects so he/she will provide you with some details now.

The only really off ones were the +atk and +def ones. The rest seem pretty spot on

I don't know any Japanese, but for those that do, how about posting a question on the jp thread about tactical processor? Pleeeeeeeease?

Edit: Also, thanks for the find and the translations. This is nice data ^^

Much thanks! I haven't even made an account on the forums lol. Mostly because I never bring my SE token to work, so I can't post there anyway. I appreciate it ^^

I know its late on my part, but the jp already asked that.

They asked mocchi to list the effects off all attachments with specific emphasis given to attachments like the scanner, tactical processor etc.

From the looks of it, they only listed attachments with easy to explain, functions.


Atk +20 25 30 35 is a lot easier then

"This does stuff, and the more maneuvers you add... it changes, but you will only notice under a full moon on fire day, while using fire maneuvers that your overload goes down by 4%

"Decreases decision-making time"

Isn't it obvious? It decreases the automaton's decision-making time. Whereas normally the puppet sometimes has trouble making tough decisions, with the Tactical Processor he responds in record time.

Just the other day, my puppet and I went to the store and he immediately asked for plastic.

you sir, get +1 internets.
