I personally say Puppetry or Puppet Mastery. I facepalm everytime I see someone use terms like "Puppeteering". No, there is a real term for it, don't make up words now. And I get really angry when I see people explain to newbies "Oh, it's a thing called 'Puppeteering'". The way you phrase it makes it sound like it's official, don't teach newbies that crappy term please!
I like how you think, haha. xD

I say puppetry when referring to the skillsets, and marionette when referring to Colossus/Pierrot.

They make for a good tank -unless the mob is a magic/alchemy user-. It's also really good for CC and do quite a bit of AOE when it comes to lord/elite. I really can't say its a primary skill though because its mechanics are clunky, and lacks any kind of survivability for both the puppet and the user, and the position lag it induces can make me rage at times.

Please, as we're all aware puppets are going to be nerfed into oblivion with this update just like they were with the heavy stander update.

Climatic Crash > a whole group of monsters that don't have Melee ping.
Raising Action still a hyper-windmill.
Marionette Crisis ... Does damage at least? maybe it'll still have a larger radius then the "hopper" with the crisis reforge.
Another thing, the you cannot control where the pet will spawn, to where as you can carefully position the puppet, and then again, we won't truly know the diameter until tomorrow.

While it may not kill the talent itself, i feel this new pet will basically make its utility almost non existant.....

I 100% agree with this sentiment. Puppets are officially nerfed to hell. Start NPCing your control bars, you won't be needing them anymore.
