Talk:Ventriloquy
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
This ability has some very interesting instant benefits that are worth mentioning.
- The Sharpshot may weaponskill during the beginning of a battle and can put itself in grave risk, the short recast of this ability will help prevent these incidents from killing your Automaton which cannot be cured by other players. You, however, can be cured, when you displace the enmity onto yourself.
- When using a sub job like Ninja, acquiring hate at the start of the match is as simple as having your Automaton pull with Provoke and using Ventriloquy immediately afterwards. I would like to warn however, that the puppet may Provoke a second time if you do not let the Fire Maneuver wear a little bit before using this technique.
Some testing will be needed to answer the following questions
- Can the value be swapped to zero? A way to test this would be to attack a monster without the puppet engaged, use this ability, and then try to do something that requires absolutely zero enmity, such as using a Chocobo Whistle.

The idea of using this ability as a claiming tool (or declaiming tool for that matter) is ridiculous. It wasn't designed for that. Tahngarthortalk-contribs 17:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
