LOLPUP.... there's no LOL about it.  
So, I've never been one to say lolpup or loldrg (unless I'm leveling drg :P) I've never invited a pup simply cause I was I had no clue what pup was and where to put them in a pt. A few nights ago me and my wife were building a pt, me on PLD and her on RDM. Found a WHM, SAM and WAR. was looking around and the only thing left with seek up was another SAM and a PUP. So i sent a tell to the pup asking them to join. I figured we were set on enhancing/healing and damage so this would be a good chance to check out what pup can do.

OMG!

So, pup shows up with there auto in RNG attire. They asked what job for their auto. I simply said, "I have no clue what a pup does, so whatever works best for you."

I'm really glad I grabbed the pup for two reasons. 1) they were incredibly nice. and 2) We lucked out and got a pup that understood his job very well. (which is good, cause I didn't lol)

The pup was easily out-DDing the SAM and WAR. The Auto itself was putting out close to RNG numbers. Adding in the pup's WS's and I'm sure it was about even to a RNG w/o Barrage.

PT went on for a long while and everyone got enough levels to get out of Adyeewa.

Next evening the pup was soloing on VT lesser colibris with seek up. Yes soloing VTs. So me and my wife went out to trio cause no one was responding to tells. PUP had WHM auto out. PUP was level 60 at the time, we were 61 and 62. So exp dropped off a bit for the pup, but were were chaining to 5 and just messing around. Then we got aggro from a fomor. And the oddest thing happened.

I got regen II cast on me.

My wife had only regen. then Cure V lands on me...

o.O The auto then erased the drown I had on me from the fomor.

I'm sold. PUP is awesome.

Finished off the night doing the PUP AF head piece fight.

When I came home yesterday I found a PUP solo guide open on my computer. Shin has picked his automaton up again! I hope he enjoys it, he is not the kind to have patience soloing. H's tried BST multiple times with no avail.

luckily for him he has two things working to his advantage.

1) I'm now convinced that PUP is extremely overpowered.

2) The bulk of the ffxi population has a lolpup mentality, so I doubt SE will weaken pup's natural kickassness!

Will Mamby be picking PUP up as well?

She's leaning more towards BLU, but wants to level both BLU and PUP to 37 and then go with w/e she likes more.

She wanted a play around job that was lower on the thinking scale, but after she read up on BLU she realized that its a thinking job as well. She already knew PUP was, so now it's up to which she likes better.

I'm thinking she'll go BLU since she had already planned on meriting sword for RDM.

She may go DRK later on down the road as well ^^

Yeah, PUP in the right hands is a killing machine! I think the lolpup mentality won't go away though, there's few reasons to that:
It's damn complicated job to master, maybe a bit too complicated for the general playerbase..It's so easy to suck on that job.
And it's expensive as heck! Master needs some DD gear so they're not whiffing all the time, and automaton attachments cost a fortune..and automaton oils of course, are expensive too.

Sounds like your PUP knew what he was doing though, that's great. It really is great job until merit level at least, one example would be that I'd never take my Monk to Sacrarium to farm subligar/swift belt if I could come PUP, it absolutely destroys everything there. But the players going PUP/WHM to heal while their whm frame is meleeing will keep the job "lol" for a while ;(.
