Guild Wars 2

Call it dumb, or call it redundant, but why not have a Puppet-master type profession in Guild Wars 2? Unlike the Necromancer who just summon and casts the spells of the minion, the Puppetmaster has a single minion that has his own gear in addition to the character himself and have him either be controlled on autopilot as like an AI controlled partner in combat like minions OR control him manually.

Not sure where a thread like this would be the best one, but either way, I’d like to know what you guys think of the idea. Okay?

An interesting idea on paper, but I’m not sure how it would actually work in game. The way you describe it, and the more I think on it, it sounds a lot like a ranger but a lot harder to work with.

I got the idea from the Puppetmaster job class in FF-XI, but my take on it would be that rather than go for different types of pets, the Puppet would be just one pet that can be modified by parts and chassis. He can have the puppet move at a much greater range from the puppetmaster compared to pets and minions assuming he is controlled manually. As for the Puppetmaster himself, I’d picture him to be more of a bard type character rather than a summoner (Necro) or a hunter (Ranger).

Still, I hope the devs assuming they read this thread, take this into account when they make new content. Though I am always welcome for ideas on how to make this profession kick kitten .

They aren’t going to make new professions, this is pointless.

need a new heavy, 3 light 3 med 3 heavy just nice

maybe a heavy that can summon a robotic suit so that he can don it and go into battle
