Hmm, very interesting, kind of like Whats-her-face from FF10, the one that uses moogles... Very interesting indeed. Ill give you my opinion once you add more on the background and other sections.

Tomorrow or Later I'll add more this and that^^.
Untill I am able to add all of the 1st Batch
I'll ad the Premise, etc

I like the idea so far. It would be cool to be able to design your toys... give them hairstyles, faces, clothes, etc. I also would like to be able to name them. I can see alot of farming possibilites with this build though... Anet would probably freak.

Anyway, I love the idea so far. Come up with a good backstory.

i really really don't like this.
this is making a heap of lvl 20's to aid you.
a necro has lvl 18 but this they use skills!!!....

I was thinking of giving them 1 or 2 skill each then the Dress Sphere attribute would buff and support them also give new skills^^!

Skills Changed^^!..

Transformed Puppet Spells to Maintaned Spells^^!..

First of all I think this should be Lyssa, she counts as the goddess of theater.
I don't thing the god of justice and death plays with dolls, then again could be wrong.

Another point is that theres nothing but puppet and doll skills.
When all the puppets are dead the foe just beats the puppeteer because there is nothing the puppeteer can do except try to rezz the puppets.
They should at least have some skills unrelated to puppets so that they are not completely helpless against a foe with 10% health left and the puppeteer at 100% but his puppets dead.

Nothing too fancy of course, your puppets getting wiped would spell DOOM for a puppeteer, but not that they can't try to do anything about it.

Puppets have durations, then what are these durations?
I assume this includes dolls as well, what are their durations.

You start out with 3 toys per area, you can of course get less if some die and you don't rezz them.
Can you get more? if so what is the limit, should be much lower than 10, other wise this would be very over powered opposed to necro's.
It says 'at least' would that mean there is a way to start out PvP matches with more than the average amount of toys?

Soo, no matter how much points you pump into Doll manipulation it can never be as powerful as Puppet manipulation?
Correct me if I'm wrong but there has to be something wrong with that.

Oh and you numbered both II


All in all I like this a lot, it might even be better at giving that MP play style than the class I'm making especially for the MP feel.
If the max limit of toys would be 3 wouldn't that make it balanced to have all of them allowed to be dolls?
Or perhaps lock skills so you can't make another mage if you already have a mage up.

If I had more than 3 toys to take care of, I know I'd run out of skill slots for skills to support them all.

oh 1 last thing
Would sound better if it was 'repair doll', or 'Stitchings and Strings' cuz they aren't really alive so can't be revived.

Well, I have been thinking of body controling skills but I think that'll be overpowered, controlling players what a skill^^!

Sorry haven't ixed the primary for the while, The puppets had durations before.

What I meant was at max^^.

So...steal phrases from Final Fantasy (Dress Sphere? FFX-2, prolly others, havnt played em all), then make a ranger with 3 pets...yeah...no.

This is, no offense, dumb. What we have here is an overpowered BM ranger.

Well maybe not direct control, but how bout a hex that causes a foes AoE attacks to strike his allies as well.
sorta "You are partially under my control and I'm making you hurt your friends, muhahahaha."
Come again?

If you mixed this class with a necro....god. You'd have so many things helping you at the same time. Magna do you mind if I steal about 1/10 of this concept and make my own puppeteer class? This one can just be abused in so many ways.

It's a good concept, though you need to develop non-puppets (or dolls) skills.
But I saw something strange...
"Knight[Elite]
-Spell, 20e|-1p|5c|25r : While Maintaining, Transform your Puppet into a Lvl.(10-20) Puppet-Knight. The Knight's Equiped Skills are Signet of Stamina 1-12, "Watch Yourself!" 1-12."

"Crusader[Elite]
-Enchantment Spell, 10e|2c|35r : For 5-25 seconds, Transform your Puppet-Knight into a Puppet-Crusader. The Puppet gains Defy Pain 1-12 and +25-80 AL."

You can't have two elites in your skillbar unless using Arcane mimicry so there's an obvious problem. Make one of the skills non-elite, or change the description to "Transform target Puppet Knight ally..." so you can use it on other Puppeters' Knights.

I didn't think this through^^.
Sorry.
And the reason why I use is Grenth cause the Puppeteer, Actual Main Ability is to Summon Spirits of other Profession.
They just use these Puppets as Medium, for the Spirits.
And they wuld have to worship Grenth to borrow these Spirits from the Netherworld.

Still can I steal about 1/10 of it?

If you promise I may steal from you too^^.

Alright you can steal from me too xD

It's got a few nice ideas but in the end you're just using existing skills in a new context. You definitely need some non-borrowed skills

Just bored wanna show how I wish the puppeteer would fight like^^.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OYSR94eWV...elated&search=
BTW, I'll be fixing the Puppeteer tomorrow or later^^.

Nerfing it.

Done you can post now^^!

I had to steal the Ideas for my future Mechanist but nvm^^!

Well the added puppet command skills are pretty balanced, the dolls however are very over powered.
aside from the in understandable conditional, that is way better than guiding light which is a monk elite!
why would level 1 characters get to run around with level 7 pets?
Skills that scale incorrect to low levels are fine, but Anet has made them all elite or PvE only skills.
This is because even though you might not be able to get them till level 8, your heroes can use them whenever you have them unlocked.
All summons (currently) start at level 0 or 1.

Asside form that it has lost most of it's magical flair, perhaps you should even rename the puppet skills to craft of build puppet instead of summon ...

Having lost it's magic affecting puppets and the puppet evolution system, it's far less original, the summons are just summons now.

Also the puppets seem to be summoned independently now, I hope that doesn't mean that you can have as many puppets as you can cram the skills for into your bar; even without their current overpoweredness that would be disrupting.

Also you still don't have any skills that work when all the puppets are dead.
The puppet summons lock now, what if for some reason your puppets are killed shortly after summoned, then none of a puppeteers skills would be usable(that seems like a sure fire way to deal with puppeteer bosses, or Perhaps PvP players without a secondary profession)

PS
You misspelled the attribute names in at the skill examples.

Thanks I'll fix that^^!

It still has same effect maximum of 3 only.
I have already gotten my Mechanist Idea now I gotta get my Warlocks Demon Skills = (.
Do you think it's a Wise Idea ending the Work of my Warlock just for the Puppeteer.
I might aswell end all my other CCs and adding them to my other CCs^^(Not Sarcastic).
Something like:
Warlock+Mechanist+Puppeteer+Weaver= New Puppeteer
Mediator+Cabalist+Templar+Berserker= New Mediator
Judge+Sephiroth+Zealot+Sealer+Warlock+Cleric= Priest
Vanguard+Shaman+Berserker= New Shaman
What do you think, But some of my works would have to close^^?
I am quite confused right now, Will I go for the Crafter or Puppet Master = (.
I Really like the Idea of Asking Grenth for Souls to Possess my Puppets and acting them as my Minions.
But I like too, Controlling Puppets like my Mechanist Controling Armor and Engine Cores = (.
The Crafter uses Puppets as another Body, While they can't Fight cause they are too weak for hand-to-hand combat they would use the Puppet.
While the Puppet Master, Like a MM they would keep on mobbing and causing havok but the Puppet Master seems a little overpowered back then.
But I'll be bringing back the Transformation Spells^^.
BTW, their is no Monk Elite called Guiding Light^^.
