I'm trying to master this deactivate >> activate solo nuke strategy for pup....and its just getting the best of me. I can't seem to easily do this on pup/nin... I have hermes sandals, and I'm trying to solo Groundskeepers in sky, to perhaps solo Despot...I pull with hojo for initial hate, I use thunder 4 (not quite up to stone v yet) and deac or ventriloquy the instant the mob's hp bar goes down...here are the problems I'm running into:
1) after that initial nuke I seem to gain way too much ground for my puppet to nuke them ever again unless I take a ton of hits...
2) Even after using Ventri off a big nuke, I find myself losing hate after the puppet does a 2nd nuke (even if it was deactivated to clear all hate).. and my puppet ends up dying a lot....
3)I have to stand close enough for the puppet to land the nuke and just eat hits with shadows, which makes me wind up taking too much dmg and I can't heal myself..
Somebody plz tell me what I'm doing wrong here..this is driving me nuts...
