so what makes DRK > PUP? You DRKs end up face down in the dirt (well most of the time, great job I still invite DRKs if I dont tank) where as We pups can hide like cowards and let our Automaton fight (Karou a coward? I could be a mage and I'd still melee x:D )

Because Drk's should'nt be dumb enough to go after your pet. You kill the pet, it's master summons it right back. Kill the master, the pet dies. Drk's have bind, and sleep. Not to mention a bunch of other helpful debuffs, *blind, poison etc etc.* And buffs, to make us that much stronger. Im not saying it would be an easy fight at all. But's It's not like I said DRK > PUP's. In fact, I don't believe anyone has.

Secondly where is all this BS about drk's ending face up in the dirt? Im a lvl 41 Dark Knight Now. Ive only died 3 times so far. *The third one really doesn't count seeing as I got aggro as soon as I got a friggin raise. * Maybe back in the day when Drk wen't "Look at this everyone. Souleater, Beserk, Last Resort, Spinning Slash. w00t look at my dmg. But I think ill leave all three job abilities on. Who cares if im draining health evertime I hit, and Im taking more dmg from a mob that currently has hate on me. I did 1k+ dmg!!"

Not in my case, I'm the one doing all the damage it seems. I;ve never had my auto do anything above 70 dmg even with expensive attachments. Compare that to my 200+ raging fists and the auto looks kinda weak.

From what I've seen Automatons will pass around 9% (about double a Wyvern) and Raging Fists can be anywhere from 50-300 considering it relies on accuracy and you have a C skill
Even still Master+Automaton < Any DD that isn't asleep half the time but it's not by nearly as much as a lot of people seem to think.

Parser results were from an experienced PUP in the PUP forums.

Can't wait for them to finish Pup. Anyways, yeah, if you're fighting a pet job, they can only resummon them once if their timer is up. (If it isn't up, they can't resummon at all. So while the pet is weaker, the master is alot weaker without the pet then with the pet. So it just depends on how quickly you can take out the pet.

As a Drg/Mage, I run away like a little girl if I have no wyvern and I'm doing 1v1.

I don't use a parser, I just eyeball it. I like to think I'm pretty accurate at that but still open to human error.

Plus I'm too lazy to get a parser.

raging fists tonight for me varried 190-400 why? cuz im /war and i used acc food boosting str and unlike most pups I dont suck

Think most PUPs on Bahamut are pretty good at what they do, it's only the hardcore dedicated ones still left

There's only 10 good pups on Hades and I'm in the top 5. If that's not hardcore I dont know what is. Last night after pulling 43 and 44, i spent 5 hours soloing off Ep to finish off to 45

Wouldn't it have been quicker to get another party?

Soloing while lfp ftw. (^.^)b Common strategy for us. And by us, I mean jobs that can solo EP-T effectively, unlike lolwar or lolmnk.

I wasnt LFP, I was trying to finish off my 1k tnl w/o getting a pt

But you spent 5 hours doing it

I just choose not to solo, if I want exp that bad I'll make a pt or level another pet job, seeing as I'm addicted to em.

I spent 5 hours beating up EP w/o an empress band whose exp was 15 a peice, in battalia, I did it becuase frankly, At 3am, I dont want to waste time LFP or a better exp zone. I died once I was 30 tnl and raise set me back to 500 tnl. I then swore off Evil Weapons and Focused on Kiting Gobbies with my Automaton...

Basically Aurore Engages in her Ranger Body. I sneak around And raging fists from behind.... massive damage
