I am a master PUP now. I run to Doh Gates often to test and parse the automaton's BLM build often in hopes of finding the best attachment/gear setup to get the most out of it. Consistency as long been a debate on this subject and I'm proud to say 79k-max is the norm with the right build. 65-75k was common before I had a gear build, update and job master.

Even at 75, I saw a few good pups (there were so few) dropping bombs bigger than BLM numbers on occasion.
The job got its universal stigma (nobody wanted them for anything) because it's so easy to just be awful, especially at 75 when many people playing it couldn't actually afford to play it.
I've never played pup, not sure it's even 99 but good ones are strong ones.
