I recently put a few points into my Puppet skill and tried using it at WS Cavern. The skill works most of the time; I've only disconnected when I was using Arrow Eruption while I had the puppet fairly close to me with mobs in between. I initially had one point in the skill when I first tried using it, and I disconnected with about one out of every five puppets (they each have 500 hp so I used them quickly ). The same thing happened at about the same rate after I put another point in the skill. I'd appreciate if you guys can help, that skill really helps out in the future. I'm not sure if it has to do with the skill level or not but it wouldn't be fun playing sniper/marksman without muh puppets.
Puppet is probably dc'ing you when a monster dies and puppet takes damage at the same time. There have been some suggested fixes, but nothing has worked for me. It's been a known bug for over a year now. Best thing you can do is just level up enough that you change how you're trying to use puppet. Sniper/Marksmen have freeze anyway, so just abuse that, this shouldnt be as hard for you as for bowmen!
Gotcha. I used to use Puppet during 3rd job to get mobs away from me so I could freeze them. I'm just reluctant to use potions even though there's p much an infinite supply lolz. Didn't see the other posts about this topic though, mb.
