I think SE screwed up pup, by breaking Strobe. I went to do ENM, i entered my puppet voked the man i soloed the automaton, by that time my auto had voked twice. i popped a few hi pots (havnt hit the guy yet) andtook hate, after another 2 vokes and a cannible blade, i die because my auto cant take hate. Also a friend of mine said he went out soloing and his auto voked and flashed a mob, then when he hit it he took hate. Any other pups experiencing problems with Strobe? ; ; ugh this is so retarded im mad /fume
 
Maybe they broke it?

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't nerf PUP because <insert sarcastic comment on how PUP is already gimped>.
 
is there enough pups to testify? lol(jk)
 
I read on KI they might have nerfed it cause of ventriloquy and us being able to sub /nin and use strobe > vent. or even /war and strobe > vent. > voke with a Curebot set up and tank...still works just not as powerful. please dont hate i just read something like that but it makes sense
 
Not saying Pup should tank but I did it when i was Lvl 45ish and i t worked well....might be able too but i dont wanna be one to try
 
In close to 64 levels of Puppetmaster I can't say I found Strobe useful before or after the update, hope this helps
 
Well, good news is SE is acknowledging there's a problem with Strobe
Since the implementation of the latest version update on Jun. 5, 2007, we have confirmed the following issues. Investigation and recovery work is currently underway.

- Immediately following Level 8 Besieged, the status of enemy forces is displayed as "Preparing."

- Amount of damage inflicted by the weapon skill "Catastrophe" has decreased, and does not drain target's HP.

- The "Provoke" effect from the automaton attachment Strobe has weakened.

- Corsair's ability "Loaded Deck" may miss even though there are two abilities waiting on recast.

- Unable to lock on to targets when a sub-target is selected.

- An NPC named "e" appears on the Wide Scan in Wajaom Woodlands.

-If your system is set to "12 hour time", the Vana'diel time will display 10 minutes fast in event messages.
*Vana'diel time will show up correctly in all other messages.

- Certain area names are abbreviated when using the auto-translate function.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

So hopefully they'll get it fixed soon.
 
>.<;

This makes it harder to screw with all the big-head NIN who lolPUP me.

Classic to just do your thing, have your NIN tank lolPUP, swap frames and have it pull hate off him-midfight just to screw w/his ego... *COUGH* ILU STEVEDIZZLE.

Good to know it's not just me noticing this problem...

Thought I was going crazy...

They nerfed a relic weapon skill by accident? That's...Sad.

This one is funny. I checked it. The is a NPC on widescan near the "leypoint" and the new chocogirl. It appears as "e" on widescan but as "." when you target. The funny part is that when you target it, it appears to be under the ground ..

True, but IIRC that's the DRK relic so I'm sure the 7 people who felt throwing coins at that piece was a worthwhile investment can cope for another week

Going back to this, why the hell would you go VE frame and have it tank the ENM when evasion + curebot can tank all 4 possible frames and not have to worry about things like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AaY14zbubo for my last ENM fight, but I've tanked everything but Stormwaker so far without any issues (and let's be honest, SW is the easiest of the four possible spawns.)

Why use Howling Fist? Raging Fists blows it out of the water.

Minimal accuracy gear + no accuracy food. In this fight I'll take the all but guaranteed 1 hit over the chance at a slightly more damaging Raging Fists that might also hit 1-2/5 and deal double digits. I had to beat the daylight hours for that fight and didn't have any gear swap macros. Raging is better when you can stack a little over 30 accuracy onto it, but with +8 Howling works as well or better.
 
me and my friend are duoing pup, she has the DD shooter and i have the tank one, lvl 19 :P its like strobe/provoke was just some kinda light show and not a real /Ja

usealy my pup never loses hate with all 4 of us beating on the mob, but lost it instantly every time
it wasn't even fun, and we had to quit early :(
