Method 2: AP4+OFI+II+Light&Earth Maneuver = -37.5% PDT (need 28.5% for cap) Method 1: AP4+OFI+II+Light Maneuver = -30% PDT (need 36% for cap) I'll make the correction right away.ĮDIT: Corrected! Fixed values for tanking methods. I see now in my original draft where I made this error, my original values for AP4 were slightly off. Not bashing the guide or anything, it's actually amazing, I just want to know if there's something I'm missing.Īhhh! you are absolutely correct, thanks for pointing this out. Stout servant + VE should be ~21.5, AP IV + OF I/II + light should be ( ~21.5 + ~30 ) = ~51.5, leaving 36 % to cap in gear, then rounding down on all counts requires me to equip ~39%. I did my own tests using 1K needles method, and because of gear rounding I'm actually having to equip closer to -39% DT gear to cap instead of the stated -21% in the guide. How did the sources that calculated pet -DT %'s test their finds? The guide states that VE frame with AP IV, both OFs and 1 light maneuver is -45% PDT, shouldn't it be -30%? Maybe Onionknight on Shiva might have one. I think Trulusia had one, but I think he's since quit FFXI. While I know there are issues with Gearswap detecting and swapping to Pet WS gear in time, I'm wondering if it's possible to make Gearswap automatically switch to Pet-WS set when your Automaton is above 1000 TP, then switch back to Pet Store-TP set afterward. I'll be updating the guide later this week and keeping you guys posted when I do!ĮDIT: That reminds me - Does anyone have a PUP Gearswap LUA that they would like to share? It's been a frequently asked question from me since the guide went up, and honestly my LUA is really a mess, and I'm not exactly savvy when it comes to GS. Like you mentioned, along with personal testing, it showed Dispersal was definitely an improvement over Visucius's for a WS like Arcuballista. I've been toiling away on some updated Pet WS sets and talking to some other PUP's. So escha h2h or gnafrons should both be fine for pet ws h2h
Strings theory still string full#
That, Karagoz capello and then full pet skill+ gear.(Karagoz hands, Karagoz legs, Naga feet, pitre+3 body) Don't worry about augmenting herc, try out skill + gear and see how you like it.Īlso, on that note, I haven't looked at it, but does anyone know how much skill+ gnafrons give? Probably an easy test,and I'm currently using that, but escha zitah h2h give 20 skill (don't have them yet) so I haven't bothered to look at itĬan't get on game for a bit, but this question is itching meĮdit: gnafrons give 20 skill. Sorry I forgot to respond to the ws sets. Though maybe all the +Attack/R.Attack on Reforged Relic hat and body makes it worth considering over herc? I'm not even sure if the TP-Bonus from an Augmented dispersal mantle is worth losing the Automaton Lv+1 and Acc/Attack from Visucius's mantle, does anyone know off-hand? I've not tested it yet personally. It's honestly really unfortunate that pretty much the only gearing options for Pet WS is augmented Herculean along with karagoz capello +1 (for FTP reliant WS's). I think this is highly necessary.ĭefinitely, I'd like to add some Pet WS sets, but have honestly not had enough testing with them to make a strong judgement call. If you frequently do stuff like PUP duos where the puppets are tanking and DDing with Overdrive, you might prioritize differently and use it more often.Ģ things i would just think about adding (looking at this at first glance) is a pet WS set and that tanking Taeon might also be acc/att/double attack/dtĪ pet WS set does add a whole lotta damage to weaponskills. So for my applications I really don't care about acc/DA - I'm not very interested in trying to make my 1.2% of the parse go up to 1.3% to shave 2 seconds off a fight - would rather feed less TP, interrupt less SCs, and maybe get a couple resists on spells or annoying enfeebles.Īgain though, somewhat YMMV and I definitely have no issue suggesting Pet: DT/DA/Acc Taeon as a viable option (I have 3 pieces myself, that I use rarely). I typically use PUP tank for defense only, and other players do the damage.


I don't really say Meva is that great, but it's better to me than the other fairly irrelevant options for the majority of tanking that I ever do on PUP. VD Ambuscade Poroggo is the only thing that comes to mind that I've done like this in the past ~year, but that's just me.

YMMV depending on how often you actually do that kind of stuff, but if you want to solo/duo some dangerous NMs it's viable. While someone like capuchin says how great taeon with magic eva is, I think that the acc and double attack sets are much more usuable for every day gameplay pup.įair enough if you're doing lowman/solo stuff where the puppet is both your tank and a primary damage source.
