tested new set on Kyou, didn't perform any better, though wasn't sure to expect on him with Shell V up. rolanberry daifuku +1 with the set below, only thing I can think of missing is puppet roll.

when I have more time I'll try to post pet INT, MAB and MACC totals and maybe compare with a sch or blm. Gotta figure in the attachments and all.

ItemSet 396010

ML 40 pet INT 134 + 152 with triple ice = 286
347 gear MACC + 80 food = 427
188 gear MAB + (160x2) from ice maker + loudspeaker IV = 508

attachments (resister and mana jammer can be changed):
ice maker
amplifier 1 and 2
loudspeaker 4
arcanoclutch 1
resister 2
mana jammer 4
optic fiber 1 and 2
economizer
mana tank 3 and 4

not currently using either mana channeler and wiki doesn't have data for them.

if any mage could compare those stats I'd be grateful

now check that chart again for monster int and you'll see that even V0 Ongo you are way behind. I'd love to see your numbers on E boss, just to compare.

I was under the assumption that puppet only got +1 skill, some hp and acc/macc/etc, no base stats per ML

You can partially bridge this with emp+3 boots and aug'd herc but thats some hefty mab/macc in exchange and still falls behind a real nuker in total int.

That said i think you could probably do well on E though im also skeptical and would love numbers. The nms in sortie/vagary tend to have 1 ele weakness so if puppets hitting that then i could see it doing alright.

I also remember blm puppet default to casting water on A/E so you'd have to be deploying only during SC windows. hope I was doing something wrong but I tried it several times.

Yeah the automaton assumes absorbs is the lowest resistance so it would cast accordingly unfortunately. Its shitty how it functions but that is just how it is.

You would have to create specifically scission or gravitation and deploy only on sc to ensure stone was cast and then call it off until next window.

Puppet lacks macc unfortunately when you maximize MAB and vice versa. So on anything difficult you tend to see a lot of resists. Trash mobs like locus stuff though you can hit capped bursts easily not even using overdrive.
