Blaster

[robust root]

the vid file is too big , i cant upload it here. but you have to use the repeated tap function from bluestacks

preset, mp>mp>weave/bob

Press and hold the preset

[signal summit]

I think using autotap function on bluestacks can get u banned

As it qualifies as macro

[torpid cloak]

Can someone share perfect trio nodes please?

[robust root]

Not auto tap, repeated tap. U will still need to tap

[torpid cloak]

Also I’ll glad to know which hyper passive should I lvl up.

[robust root]

Magnum punch, double blast, revolving cannon. Hammer smash, bunker buster and shotgun punch

[torpid cloak]

Wow, a lot of nodes 😅

Thank you!

[robust root]

Actually it is quite good as compared to other classes. Only 2 perfect trios

[torpid cloak]

Just checked the other classes trio and you right

[fallow hill]

We’ve just received word that NxK is aware of the issues that Blasters are facing and they are working to fix the problems as soon as possible

[signal summit]

Thanks for your help @fallow hill

[robust root]

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

[fallow hill]

it was really @astral inlet pushing for yall behind the scenes consistently! it may have gone quiet in here in between official announcements/statements but she's been focused on getting it heard during those lulls. i'm happy to see it come full circle!

[signal summit]

Thanks @astral inlet we appreciate you 🙂

[torpid cloak]

Is this still correct?

[signal summit]

thats what i have

[torpid cloak]

Thanks!

[astral inlet]

it was supposed to be a secret

[astral inlet]

aww yw!
thank you to all the blaster players for continually giving me evidence and feedback to send in my reports~

i understand that it's been a frustrating situation for you all and i'm sorry i haven't been more vocal

[somber hull]

I'm so stoked blaster is getting fixed Thank you so much Tsukki!

[empty charm]

Amazing actually, well done, thank you!

[plain bear]

thank you @astral inlet

[red inlet]

is it me or the
sticker floor previously can ignore damage reflect, now no more?

what kind of bug we still have in blaster ah?

@peak ocean

[marble token]

If you're talking about hammer smash the damage over time ignores dr. The initial damage when you first use it is not. It was a stupid change by the devs they intentionally made a patch or two ago

[signal summit]

Class dead go next

[silk rivet]

dead class next go

[marble token]

Dead class. I heard pally is the go to reroll

[peak ocean]

[visual patio]

If I gotta re roll I’ll just be rolling up off this game lmao

[somber hull]

Facts lol. They said they're fixing blaster, so i'm stayin.

[marble token]

"They" being the same ppl who said Blaster is working as intended? Think about that for a second.

[visual patio]

@astral inlet got us

[somber hull]

Yeah but KMS is proof they acted on a fix

[marble token]

I don't think you understand the timeline here. We told them Blaster was broken for literally months and told them about the kmsm publication and they still said they already looked into it and the class was working as intended.

[velvet dock]

Let's not let anger cloud your judgment, Tsukki relayed the devs' response to the blaster issues on Jan 30th as you can see here ⁠#msm-bug-report message
KMSM announced the blaster patch on Feb 5th (https://forum.nexon.com/maplestorym/board_view?board=1215&thread=2489561), the date after devs' response to GMSM blaster feedbacks and bug reports. What the devs decided afterward was not within Tsukki's control, and she had also been transparent with what she is allowed to reveal. Not to mention she has honored and reported all sentiments following the devs' response to push for re-investigation.
We understand that you've been frustrated for a while but we'd like to ask that you provide your feedback, including criticisms based on this information.

[marble token]

It doesn't take a dev to realize 12k lines as a dps class is not "working as intended"

[torpid cloak]

Which emblem is the best on the SW?

[signal summit]

Blaster Eos

So bad

[robust root]

Anyone knows if blaster’s fix will be included in march’s patch?

[dense monolith]

noone knows, TECHNICALLY in terms of content features we are actually able to get the same stuff as kmsm, its just that our release timeline is different

theres been cases of some features shipped to kmsm and msm on the same month

if we get fixed this coming patch i would be happy

[silk rivet]

https://youtu.be/sOMsFgfZzDY?si=y3hvoie_XOWjUxE9

No fix announced

[signal summit]

I find they generally dont announce bug fixes or small rebalances in these but idk

Just being hopeful

[silk rivet]

Moment of truth??

[zinc marten]

Blasters got their fix

Congrats!

[marble token]

Should test drive it after patch before you celebrate. You never know. The patch notes looks good but what matters is how many lines we can do after patch.

Hoping our high dps blasters didn't sell all their gear yet.

[dense monolith]

well Evola is gone to paladin...

[marble token]

He will probably do better as Pal because it's so OP right now

[dense monolith]

new preset to be MP>DB>Hammer?

[marble token]

Hammer has a cool down so maybe not

[dense monolith]

provided we dont exceed 3 sets of MP>DB in 1.5s

[marble token]

We'll figure it out after patch. There's a lot of changes. Looks like we got another iframe from hyper mag punch

[dense monolith]

it was an iframe, only during the charging up portion

[marble token]

I should rephrase, more usable*

[robust root]

But we gotta thank tsukki for this

[empty charm]

I already rr so sad 😭

[marble token]

We don't even know if it's a fix yet. It could be a nerf from what Blasters dps/lines from a year ago.

[faint zinc]

From what I understood, this is supposed to make your overall lines consistent and no longer bound to latency issue and others

It will be a buff not a nerf

[signal summit]

Should be positive for most. Improved response + lots of increased lines on out abilities

Hoping for a big jump. Going to record pre and post gfb for fun lol

[somber hull]

😈 we're back in business

[marble token]

Same, gonna do some fog runs and see what changes

[peak ocean]

Sorry guys I wasn't as patient

But really happy to see a fix finally come

[dense monolith]

its ok

[silk rivet]

It will be worse than Pally still so you made the right move

[peak ocean]

The rr was all so I could do hard damien

[marble token]

Working as intended.

[dense monolith]

i tested it and it doesnt feel good

tried MP>DB>Hammer preset to have perma Charge atk spd bonus, you still run out of ammo

[marble token]

mp/db combo is actually worse than before LOL

I'm trying to find a decent combo but nothing is working. Bob/weave now insta cast so you can't chain that unless you want to skate around the map

[dense monolith]

MP>Bob>DB>Weave is highest aspd i seen but you look like a f-ing clown

[marble token]

@peak ocean Glad you rr bro. This update is dog water.

[somber hull]

Working as intended

[dense monolith]

LOL i have no words

[signal summit]

Lol so it doesnt even work?

[somber hull]

I haven’t found any combos that work yet

[dense monolith]

even with advance charge atk spd buff, im p sure u are slower than yesterday

[somber hull]

This may be the end for me, I can finally go touch grass

[marble token]

I told yall this morning man. Wait til after the patch to formulate an opinion

[dense monolith]

only way this "best" combo works if you are standing on some tiny platform

[somber hull]

I was promised Valhalla Tsukki…. Why have you forsaken me?!

[marble token]

GG dead class. Rr or uninstall the game.

[signal summit]

Wow i cant believe this

Gonna go home and test myself now

Maybe they will hot fix?

[marble token]

You mean the devs that left Blasters broken for a year is gonna hot fix something in a day?

[dense monolith]

theres nothing to hotfix, you need another "remaster"

only thing that MAY improve is probably removing Hammer cooldown

like whats the point of 1.5s cd, we still run out of ammo

[marble token]

No, the only way they can fix it is to look at bob/weave and make it do what it's supposed to do. Cancel the animation and speed up the atk without dashing.

[dense monolith]

true, put a toggle on it say, you need to have direction key pressed + bob then it will dash

[marble token]

Using mp/db/hammer combo without using bunker buster I can hit around 80 uses in 1 min. This is down from 145 yesterday using mp/db/bob

[somber hull]

14,510 is my line count for 3:00 fog using MP > DB > HS

[dense monolith]

hammer basically carried the lines now since you got perma area

[somber hull]

Hammer only provided like 700 total, it was trash

[dense monolith]

at least we got a better stationary attack preset now?

[vernal gust]

Still not what it's supposed to be?

[somber hull]

We should be in the 18k range is what I read from that kms sheet

[dense monolith]

maybe just double MP DB skills linecount and call it a day

[marble token]

Bruh, if you're not doing 18k lines as a pure dps class, don't expect to do Ark without hard carry. Don't even think about Lotus, Damien, and Lucid

Why would anyone roll a dps class when it doesn't even dps. Jazzy had the foresight to rr and he was right.

[vernal gust]

People like different things

I'm kaiser main I do like 14k+ lines

[somber hull]

But you probably don’t have to press as many buttons as we do lol

[vernal gust]

They say kaiser reaches 15k but I haven't yet lol

[fresh ferry]

tbf not many pure dps classes are doing 18k lines

[signal summit]

Mercedes

Lots of cygnus now >18k

If not all

Pali is a support and does way more

Blaster is actually useless besides dps lol

Worst AB in the game

[vernal gust]

Kinda sucks that they ruined blaster

[signal summit]

No party buff

No heal

[fresh ferry]

[signal summit]

No nothing

[dense monolith]

like we r juz asking to feel good/do good on a basic combo

we arent even asking for our V3 which is butchered

[fresh ferry]

The ppl who macro ruined the class too

[vernal gust]

But you guys were getting 18k lines on the emulator right. Not in mobile phone that's what I heard

Before this mess

[sharp hollow]

I mean for what is worth

There are classes who are not 18k

[signal summit]

This is the right answer

[sharp hollow]

But are dominating bossing

[signal summit]

Pc emulation forced nexons hand

[signal summit]

Yes but blaster slides across the map and dies lol

[dense monolith]

dunno maybe we can throw this into feedback section

[signal summit]

Like its not even playable

[dense monolith]

here we go again bois

[vernal gust]

Nexon does some weird stuff.for no reason I get it. I saw there was a mesos nerf now

Or that arcane meso bug that I didn't know off

[signal summit]

Releasing lucid now is a crazy choice lol

[sharp hollow]

Lucid is clearable

[dense monolith]

A1 cleared lucid already

[vernal gust]

Did anyone even know about that meso bug?

[sharp hollow]

For Damien teams

[signal summit]

Wtf…

[vernal gust]

Bruh they gotta do the story line lol

[sharp hollow]

Basically teams that are clearing Hard Damien comfortably

Can clear Lucid

[signal summit]

Lolololol

[vernal gust]

No story line for lucid?

[sharp hollow]

No

[vernal gust]

Sweet

[sharp hollow]

Just go in and do

Damien is alot harder than Lucid lmao

[vernal gust]

So lucid lotus difficulty you think?

[dense monolith]

cuz your AF gives you more MDC against Lucid

[sharp hollow]

But its fair ngl

[dense monolith]

it gatekeeps low level mains

[signal summit]

Well no blasters can even damien lol

[sharp hollow]

Lucid gives you a belt that has the same stats as an Absolab cape

[dense monolith]

660 AF to start off so you gotta be lvl230 and above minimum

[sharp hollow]

So technically

You are farming Lucid for a single piece of gear

Vs Damien you are farming weapon and 2 x armor

[dense monolith]

yes

Dreamy belt should be BiS following PC, unless Nexon wants to create higher rank belt assets for some reason

or mess with the boss difficulty

[sharp hollow]

Its funny because they made Lucid belt the same as Absolab cape

Like nothing unique about it other than having Absolab stats

[dense monolith]

it provides the boss set effect

[sharp hollow]

200k mdc only

Its a joke

I think for the 1st time, we have a boss that wont be as big of deal clearing as compared to the challenges faced when teams tried to clear Lotus and Damien for the 1st time

[dense monolith]

its just a break-in phase, the rewards for Luwill arent that impt. They will likely have a release-Lotus tier difficulty for Arcaneshade gears

Chaos Lucid or whatever they want to call it

[signal summit]

Well i just hit necro

So im staying

[vernal gust]

Wow just now?

[vernal gust]

Congrats

[visual patio]

Congrats! I hit one too but this feels so bad to play right now 😂

[signal summit]

yeah nexon is gifting blasters necro to keep them around lol

what meta is everyone using

[visual patio]

I think I’ll take pre patch back over this

[signal summit]

same lol

[visual patio]

Idek what to do 😂

Feels gross

[signal summit]

same

im trying all different combo

all feels bad

hopefully someone works it out

anyone have the kmsm meta??

[peak ocean]

It's still the same?!?

what's fog looking like for everyone

[signal summit]

Just got 16k but it feels clunky af

[marble token]

Are you on phone or pc

[somber hull]

16k is decent

[signal summit]

phone

[somber hull]

What’s the secret?

[signal summit]

Im spamming db/mb with hammer smash

And trying to weave in bb

Its super clunky

And hammer smash does no dps so the lines kinda suck lol

[marble token]

Wait, how are you getting 235 use counts for mp/db wtf?

Oh wait thats 3 min

Derp

[dense monolith]

its blastover

[marble token]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

Don't worry guys devs can now say Blaster is working as intended and mean it.

[signal summit]

So whatr we rr to

[peak ocean]

join me

[dense monolith]

at this rate im joining the "touch grass" class

[empty charm]

I don't have gattlin punch or infantry

But I managed to do 5,5k+ in 1 min

Without em

[marble token]

Do 3 min. There's a big difference between a 3 min run and 1 min run

[empty charm]

Also note all my nodes are lvl 1

Don't know if you reduce

Duration for some skills at higher levels that equals more lines

[lethal mist]

16k is still very mid

[faint zinc]

DS is also 16k+

😂

[lethal mist]

I mean

By no means is it bad

But it very much is still pretty much in the middle of all classes

And considering its not the easiest to play that feels meh

[marble token]

Fall of one of the best dps class

Nexon did Blaster dirty

[robust root]

I thought they buffed bullet blast? Pre patch it was hitting 333 lines

Did u hold down before casting?

And revolving blast and hyper magnum punch is not used for dps

[faint zinc]

I remember these 2 skills are annoying to use

When I was playing my Blaster mule

Revolving blast stuns the monster and locks you onto it if I recall

Hyper magnum punch will force your character forward after charging is finish

[old cobalt]

What’s everyone’s skill wheels for training? Could I see a skill wheel + pre sets.

[robust root]

yea its very situational and quite useless imo

[torpid cloak]

Replace magnum punch if you can kill mobs 1-2 hits with shotgun.

[old cobalt]

Thank you.

[somber hull]

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[torpid cloak]

Is the fix is so bad? I’m still nub so I don’t really see big difference

[somber hull]

It’s bad when you’ve spent a lot of money and time on a class that’s subpar

[visual patio]

16,695

Might be able to hit 17k

[signal summit]

Method? @visual patio

[visual patio]

Hammer smash gives 10 seconds of attack speed. Put it on its own button and rotate it in accordingly

Not using any presets

[signal summit]

Interesting

[visual patio]

It’s something!

Gonna try solo lotus this week since I won’t be skating into lasers

[robust root]

Yea I’m consistently hitting 17k lines for this . A 10 percent improvement in overall dmg

But gotta preset hammer smash with mp

3 mp followed by hammer smash for max efficiency

[fresh ferry]

gratsss

[robust root]

Overall is a win for blasters. And the mobility is insane . The bobbing skill delay is very short .

[visual patio]

I’ll try it out after work today! Thanks 😊

[robust root]

But I’m still testing out, see if can hit 18k

17k is without gattlin

But the hammer smash skill delay is too darn long. Gotta feedback that 🙂

[visual patio]

That’s the problem and why I had it on separately

[fresh ferry]

Love to hear this a long overdue

[visual patio]

I was trying to mix in Gatling when overdrive was on cooldown for the start up lines

[robust root]

Yea definitely use it when overdrive and v2 is on cd

[signal summit]

this seems different to what @visual patio is doing?

@visual patio has no presets and is tapping hammer smash manually every ~10 sec to reset attack speed buff

[signal summit]

@visual patio do u find u use vitality shield? I dont even have it equipped. Whats the use condition

[robust root]

Yup , that requires too much management . And there are not enough buttons on the skill wheel, esp for Damien when u need blink as well

[signal summit]

i think u would lose a significant amount of lines by using hammer smash every 2 seconds on the preset

i would imagine reyquaza method preferred

but will test to make sure

[robust root]

Ok that’s quite true if your character is not stacked

Coz hammer smash skill dmg is kinda low

[visual patio]

I do like vitality shield but maybe I’m just noob 😂 instant full hp and I frame when I take damage. Find it helpful when I got aggro

[signal summit]

hammer smash damage is HORRIBLE

mine only lvl 30 boost node but still

i cant imagine its ever good

[robust root]

But if u can cap hammer smash

[signal summit]

do u cap hammer smash?

[robust root]

I think I can

[signal summit]

its 80% skill damage

that would be insane

[robust root]

I haven’t boss with it haha

[signal summit]

i dont think you can tbh

i dont think anyone can lol

[robust root]

U gotta use the hammer smash hyper too

Increased lines

[signal summit]

there is no hammer smash hyper?

[visual patio]

I got lvl 50 boost node for it that I don’t really use

[robust root]

There is

[visual patio]

Add 2 lines to hammer smash

[signal summit]

oh

shockwave punch

idk man

this doesnt sound like the right path

but lmk if u can get close to capping @robust root

[visual patio]

Yee I was gonna play around with it

[signal summit]

can i see ur gear? @robust root

u seem OP if u talking damien lol

im chasing but only 20m MDC currently

my HP is good

[visual patio]

I find vitality shield is like a clutch button if I’m close to death. I’m usually holding aggro with my friends I play with

[robust root]

Hammer smash is capping on Damien

[signal summit]

interesting

send ur v matrix pls @robust root

[visual patio]

Lvl 60 nodes @robust root

[robust root]

Actually no ,50 nodes

For hammer smash

[signal summit]

even full capping tho

[robust root]

But there are some uncapped lines

[signal summit]

it doesnt do much dmg?

[visual patio]

I wanna see what your matrix is like aswell!

Idk how to fit everything in

[signal summit]

Heres mine

I need to max v3

[robust root]

Here’s mine. But I’m prolly gonna swap hammer smash tri core into the level 5 slots and see

[signal summit]

No v3?

[robust root]

On top

[visual patio]

I lose SI and CO if I run this

[robust root]

Tbh on a side note , hammer smash is not a bad skill, 13 hit counts if u add the hyper. It’s just not chaining seamlessly with magnum punch and double blast.

It got a weird animation at the end. So guys , gotta feedback!

[visual patio]

Did you try it on its own button yet?

I found it pretty smooth. It’s the double blast I found not super smooth

[robust root]

I tried

I find the pressing of an additional button to be annoying

Hahah

But well I’ll do more testing over the weekend

[signal summit]

yes we will figure this meta out

slowly but surely

have u cleared damien @robust root

mdc? hp?

[robust root]

Nope I haven’t but pretty close to clearing normal

About 280k hp with Dhb and 34m mdc

[robust root]

Yea we gotta remain united 🙂

[signal summit]

Wtfff 280k hp????

Lol i was 185k and i thought i was good

[peak ocean]

[visual patio]

Pressing that extra button is a hassle LOL we need like a 10 box preset to have middle ground here

Cos hammer smash every 4th attack doesn’t feel great

Let’s keep playing around with it and see what we find. I’m stuck just under 17k lines running presets and manual Hammer smash

16.9 is my most so far

[robust root]

Yea man hahah

10 box preset is a good idea

[robust root]

Another way is to preset bunker buster with hammer smash

The results are about the same

Going for an unkillable build

[visual patio]

Show me the way king

[visual patio]

You might be onto something here

[robust root]

That feels ok, the only issue is when overdrive is on cd , gotta manage abit

[visual patio]

I was just thinking how to put it into my presets and still manage HS on the same button as bunker

17,283

No presets but if you hammer smash after every second bunker blaster it mixes well and maintains bonuses

I dropped improved BB for hammer smash hyper

Idk if that’s the right play

[robust root]

Shockwaves final damage should stay

[visual patio]

Which 5 u running?

[robust root]

Ok my bad

[visual patio]

Yeah that’s what I’m running rn too

[robust root]

Yea I think this is the most optimal

[robust root]

Did u try with gattlin?

[visual patio]

Not with the whole duration of Gatling hit count was low

[robust root]

They buffed gattling thou

Hahah

[sturdy basin]

Did 17.4K lines almost 17.5k.

Full Gatling during off cycle

Anyway I sold my armours so the cap is low

Just illustrating lines

[fresh ferry]

nice

[signal summit]

What method @sturdy basin

[visual patio]

Looks like HS MPx3

[robust root]

I think there’s a chance to hit 18k lines with gattling. I did 17.3k without gattling. Looks promising

[past cosmos]

Just a small sample.
#1 manually spam DP/MP, HS only for the spd buff.

#2 Preset DP/MP x3 + 1 HS spam.

[sturdy basin]

Yeah preset MP x 3 + HS. Probably can optimise abit more. My test is Gatling actually does more in the full 6seconds so worth to do full Gatling.

[signal summit]

going to post a youtube video with this new combo change. I plan on using the @visual patio method with manual hammer smash every 10 sec to reset speed buff

also planning on including our new and improved mobility

[torpid cloak]

Thanks mate, do you plan also to check the DP/MPx3 + HS preset?

I like to see if the diff on dmg worth to manually use HS

[signal summit]

Sure i can do a comparison

[silk rivet]

Poggers

[visual patio]

Post the link! 🔗

[signal summit]

Kk this will be done over the weekend thanks for the support. Anything else you would all like to see in the video?

I was going to demonstrate new and amazing mobility + compare the 2 combo methods

And i recorded necro belt hit so that will go in too Lol

[visual patio]

Looking forward to it

How’s everyone liking the patch so far?

[signal summit]

Growing on me. I definitely feel stronger

[silk rivet]

Bobbing/weaving bugged now? U can’t use it to cross lasers in lotus

[robust root]

Hmm haven’t tried before. But if u get your rotations correctly, don’t need bobbing and weaving to cross lasers

We have 4x iframes, plus bunker blaster iframes,

[robust root]

Yup it’s so good, the best thing for me is that there is no random movement from bobbing weaving now.

But how i wish we can do arnd 18k lines haha

[fresh ferry]

love the positive feedback for Blaster long overdue

[peak ocean]

rip evol

[fresh ferry]

FR WE NOW ONLY HAVE JAZZY GOD

[silk rivet]

Can if you tap faster

600 apm required

[visual patio]

Yeah man trying not to slide out of certain situations when it mattered most was so frustrating 😂

[visual patio]

I like that our stun is way better now

[robust root]

after extensive testing 17544 lines was my best for 3mins

[signal summit]

New v matrix. Probably a little inefficient because using 4 lvl 5 slots for boost nodes

But i get lvl 60 hammer smash and lvl 30 shotgun punch for AB

[marble token]

Is level 30 shotgun enough to 1-2 shot in af170?

I just run 5 nodes when I AB, I replace impenetrable skin with the 5th node

[dense monolith]

i boosted hurricane instead of shotgun cuz my FP members aoes so much better than me

[past cosmos]

Good morning everyone. Has anyone uploaded video of adjusted Blaster for bossing yet?

[signal summit]

uploading tonight

[signal summit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpaEer4zWAc

[past cosmos]

Nice vid! Are u able to share with me your full stats and is your MDC 19.7m?

[past cosmos]

Wow not bad! Might have a chance against Dawn Warrior

[burnt vine]

op

[cinder barn]

its better than DW now lol

[past cosmos]

Haven't seen a bossing video of Blaster after the changes yet. DW's burst is still insane. Not sure about Blaster

[dense monolith]

My only gripe is charge mastery buff lasting 10 seconds. This is 2021 Kaiser FD buff PTSD flashbacks

[signal summit]

It seems to hold stacks for me

Just need to be diligent with hammer smash every 2-3 bunker blasts

I have the top buff bar showing to keep an eye on it too

[robust root]

I think it will be fine once we get used it

[dense monolith]

Yeah but eventually Kaiser got the buff skill improved to 30 seconds duration or sth.
Just trying out both presets out on bossing. I would like lazy mode 3x MP + Hammer but I realized hammer's delay sometimes cucks you during Lotus Lazer P1 when you are trying to BBE iframe it.

[signal summit]

https://youtu.be/6yBwke_mUO8?si=H7Kii2rKOH8by9Jl

Nice dmg, what are the EQs of #1 & 2?

[dense monolith]

https://youtu.be/GD_l5M7YOCc?si=lfIqMqOEVNL9lJKn&t=584

this kmsm blaster seems to use 2 presets and bob/weave instead of using hammer at all

but obv unviable for lotus P1

[signal summit]

Lol this looks so cringe

Ark or tb

[torpid cloak]

Funded char - Ark or TB
F2P - Shade

[burnt vine]

Shade will get u into bosses

But y ask ab a pirate in a warrior channel

[visual patio]

Got my first clear today! It was solo but I’m happy with the progress

[marble token]

Dam, so stronk

[burnt vine]

op

[past cosmos]

Do you have dmg list?

[past cosmos]

Thank you! Are you okay to share your Nodes and Equipment's?

[past cosmos]

Just hit 200. My lines are hitting a max of 4mil only. Why? My PA is 33k

[signal summit]

Mdc?

[past cosmos]

My MDC is at 16.5m but my lines are hitting so low. Is my PA too low still?

[empty charm]

What's your cd%, phy dmg%, ba% and fd%?

[torpid cloak]

No one use rope on his node slots?

[signal summit]

Are u talking about buffed or unbuffed? Barely anyone caps unbuffed

Try full buff and see

[signal summit]

Only during AB

[dense monolith]

hope all blaster mains are still alive

[torpid cloak]

Echo put us on the bottom of his tier class ranking, again

@signal summit I hope you’ll do the podcast with him to show the real power of blasters 🔥

[signal summit]

Blasters r alive and well

[marble token]

All 5 of us

[signal summit]

Im actually happy with where the class is at

Back to a top 10 dps class

[marble token]

Could have been top 3 tho

But in all seriousness we're in an ok spot. Just wish someone would sell me necro 50s for cheap now so I can test how hard I can carry.

[robust root]

Hahaha , but I would think we will need more dps as a pure dps class. We got nth to offer in a party

[marble token]

I agree. A pure dps class should not be out dps'd by a non pure dps class otherwise we would have zero utility but tell that to the brain dead devs at Nexon.

[robust root]

We shld be at around 18 to 19k line count

[signal summit]

What r we at

Like 17.5?

[robust root]

Yup 17.5

[signal summit]

Still top 10 with best iframes in the game

I dont think we can complain anymore

[marble token]

Are yall using bluestacks or control to get 17.5?

[robust root]

Bluestacks

[robust root]

That is true. We have the best survivability in the game as long as the boss doesn’t 1 hit you

Vitality shield is seriously underrated

[robust root]

https://youtu.be/pABSA98kyYo?si=lr1sAr3Ww9iBKhL5

Anyone know Korean here haha

[somber hull]

it's been a long hard battle for me to even get a necro in general

[marble token]

@peak ocean is selling his necro 50 weapon. Just saying.

[somber hull]

Scania?

[peak ocean]

inosys

[visual patio]

More lines on v3 would be dope but I’m not complaining

Mobility and iframes go crazy

[dense monolith]

nothing much the streamer was just using MP>Hammer preset and spamming it

his conclusion was its a bit easier to play this class now, nothing groundbreaking here really

[dense monolith]

V3 is such an iconic burst skill in PC but over here everyone's normal bossing out dps it

[visual patio]

Is hammer smash worth it? Replacing decent sharp eyes and what not for those 2 node slots as well as a hyper skill point for it. What do you guys think?

[signal summit]

I think im quitting

[torpid cloak]

Change class or quit msm?

[signal summit]

Msm

[torpid cloak]

That sucks, I like your blaster videos.

[marble token]

You don't like being OP with 25m mdc??

[signal summit]

Only 20m hahah

Im just sick and tired of the grind tbh

Maybe i just take a break and decide

[marble token]

Let me borrow your gear during your break

[robust root]

U can do that if u are not capping out your lines

[robust root]

U gotta wait for v4 man

[signal summit]

Im 20m cap 190k hp. Damien still far. Too lazy to log all my cdd alts every day

[robust root]

U can do normal Damien with those stats

[dense monolith]

part of the daily grind. tbh unless msm introduces 1/more side-progression systems, its gonna be a long af grind

[marble token]

Game slows down a lot once you cleared level 40 inherit/necro. The grind is real going to 50. I can't even begin to fathom getting to 60.

[somber hull]

What's our thoughts on the shadow partner-esque v4 skill for blaster?

[torpid cloak]

For me it’s looks like the Shade fox summons, I hope that skill will help on farm and bossing

[peak ocean]

looks like a great mobbing skill

[torpid cloak]

Anyone know the CD of that skill?

[peak ocean]

might be 2min

[torpid cloak]

Oh… well better than nothing I guess

[somber hull]

I think it looks like a great hybrid bossing/mobbing skill. If it’s doubling our attacks like shadow partner does, I wonder if it mirrors bullet blast

[robust root]

It does not mimic our attacks. It hits 18 lines per sec and it last for 60 secs with a cd of 60 secs. So in total about 1k lines for a min

In terms of line count per min, it’s abit weaker than our v2

But for sure better than our v3

[somber hull]

Now I’m not excited anymore

[dense monolith]

shared kmsm v4 info from back then

#1059997593507221555 message

its a bit complicated to indicate as there a passive DPS effect when not active as well

assuming you can insta proc all 60 triggers on skill activation, this would mean 9 seconds of active buff and 111 seconds of down time (2min CD).

that would be (18 * 60) + (4 * 111/3) = 1228 lines in 2mins

its still on a weaker? side of things IMO considering classes like DW gets a 48 line 8 second cd passive skill for v4 that simply procs on any damage

im just pasting chinese text sent by another guildie below which may have extracted data from the v4 video above/made assumptions. yall can translate it (i will try to TL class names)

Blaster should be rank 26

[robust root]

Skill cd is 60 secs. They will probably change our v2 to 60 secs uptime and 60 secs downtime as well

[dense monolith]

It has a cd of 2mins, uptime of 60 seconds but a max trigger of 60 times

V2 is gatling punch. The only change i know of is 3min cd V skills are adjusted to 2min cd.

[robust root]

Ok my bad, I’m referring to the downtime of 60 secs , not cd

[late leaf]

Anyone got an AB skill wheel i can follow?

[faint zinc]

Looks like we meet again for ghb

[torpid cloak]

That what I was using before lvl 200

You can try shotgun and hurricane if you can kill mobs with 1-2 hit

[plain bear]

op

[torpid cloak]

My bad 😅

[marble token]

I got the ban hammer this morning. Not sure for what. If it's permanent it's been nice playing with yall

[peak ocean]

NO WAY

[marble token]

If yall want to support me just go into msm feedback and thumbs up my post. I don't know any other way to get my account back.

[dense monolith]

oof o7

[marble token]

Was able to sign in this morning. Zero explanation on ban. Chalk another one up to the false bans?

[marble token]

Just fyi, response close to 3 days later

[somber hull]

Hey guys i'm looking to buy a necro warrior glove and i have 5 CD emblem pieces right now. The one I have available to me is BA emblem. I was curious if you guys built full CD or if blaster benefits from a sprinkle of BA

[robust root]

Getting some BA pieces is good

[visual patio]

I’m 5 cd and 2 ba currently trying to roll my belt I’m cool with either or

[dense monolith]

im on 2ba/6cd. i think anywhere from 3/5 is fine

[somber hull]

I thought I'd get some better DPS playing on the macbook app but I'm getting the same. Anyone have different results?

[visual patio]

How many lines u hitting on fog training 3 mins?

Anyone able to hit over 17.5k?

[somber hull]

15.5k

[visual patio]

You should be aiming for 17k+

[somber hull]

I’ve been trying

[visual patio]

Maybe if you’re on hammer smash, MP, MP, MP preset it’s lower

[somber hull]

I use green preset

Are you saying If I use yellow and manually tap hammer smash I should get 17k?

[visual patio]

You should put hammer smash first so it procs attack speed for the MP

But I manually use hammer smash

[visual patio]

You can try it. It just eliminates HS during one rotation. So you should be able to ~ HS>MP until Bunker> Bunker> MP until Bunker> Bunker> HS and repeat

[somber hull]

Oooo okie I will try this thank you

[dense monolith]

kinda having this issue where my Hammer still isnt up by then i finished my 2nd bunker, is it just better to go slower?

[visual patio]

Do you have it on a preset?

[dense monolith]

no Hammer is on a separate button, its just Bunker > Hammer > MP DB x3 > Bunker > (Hammer still on CD)

[visual patio]

That’s weird man I swear it’s only like a 3 second cooldown

[visual patio]

Maybe even less

[dense monolith]

its 1.5s cd but i sometimes hit this issue. its even worse when the hyper buff skill Cannon Overdrive is down so you dont Bunker for ~3-4 rotations

unless the concept for Hammer is to maintain aspd and not have 100% ammo up

[visual patio]

I legit use it for attack speed purposes only

You can bob/weave for ammo if you need. I don’t encounter ammo problems tho

[mossy fern]

Hi hi. New blaster here

[mossy fern]

I tested preset with mp x3 and bobbing, mpx3 and hs, and manually adding hs every 10s to keep up attack speed buff

And doing it manually gives me the most line

And use count mp

I think in preset u lose 1 mp cast when u spam hs so it’s not worth

What’s the burst rotation like for blaster? What preset or how do u manage cooldown on your burst?

[visual patio]

Have bunker loaded>drop HS and Infantry(I keep them on a preset together)> when boss starts use bunker>V3 and then do the MP bunker rotation I mentioned above

We don’t have much burst just when V3 is up we just have good constant damage all fight

[mossy fern]

I see

So not a bursty class but basically use all buff, and just spam our combo. Throw in the punching v skill when off cd. And just manage overdrive and v skill buff duration?

W the hyper passive, do blaster basically do bunker explosion every 4-5s or so, and it’ll be a 1s iframe after casting bunker?

[visual patio]

Yeah v2 Gatling punch is good for I frame but I try not to use it when v1 is up unless I have to

[mossy fern]

Would u mind sharing your skillwheel and preset? Or a quick short video of what u do as u enter boss

[visual patio]

V1 is our bread and butter

When I do bosses that last longer than 1.5mins I get on my mount and equip my 4 damage buffs. They won’t activate until I get off my mount and they will automatically reactivate when cool down is done. So you don’t have to worry about managing them

Pretty much roll up to boss before he starts. Drop my HS and infantry. Ready up my bunker and then just punch his lights out until the fight is over

[dense monolith]

i dont even consider our v3 a burst lol, other classes are dealing 1k lines on their v3

[visual patio]

Yeah exactly it’s not bursty

It’s just good lines when it’s up

And an Iframe

But we got consistent damage all fight 🤷🏽

So I usually outdps bursty classes in the longer fights like ark and lotus

Yeah DK can 1 tap for over 1k lines

It’s wild

[dense monolith]

Yeah im just trying to maximize ammo up like the old days

[visual patio]

Tbh I don’t even pay attention to ammo 😂

It reloads so fast now

[cursive lichen]

v2 is worse than v3. We already have too many iframes, and I would prefer to replace v2's iframe with more hit lines.

[dense monolith]

kind of true. i played blaster on PC and v2 v3 skills were glorious (dmg n sound effects)

IMO i can accept us as a high dpm class but would need a couple buffs to MP DB and Rocket Punch

[visual patio]

Failed some radiant exalts today and exalted reduction scrolls but ended up hitting this atleast

[mossy fern]

Niceee

[visual patio]

Yeah if we can get back to to 18.5k lines that would be dope hahaha

[mossy fern]

What’s our current line count with v skills max?

And how’s v4 looking for blaster? Still lots of line or just average

[robust root]

17.5k lines now. According to kmsm , we will be able to hit 20k lines with v4.

[dense monolith]

v4 is kinda nice, line count is avg but its a buff skill that activates along with our main MP DB combo so dont get sucked into obsessing the line count debate

i did earlier posts on all classes v4 line counts here as well as a short snippet of blaster v4 video

can search those up

[visual patio]

We got enough buttons haha I’m cool with some steady passive lines

[mossy fern]

Found it

[visual patio]

Looks like we get passive lines while attacking even when our v4 is down which is cool

Excited to see how it plays

[marble token]

I'll take free passive lines

I got 330 nodes lined up to open

[visual patio]

Gotta see what prices are saying when it releases! Idk if I want the meso or try and max the skill

[robust root]

This skill is bread and butter for blaster with our v1. Hopefully they don’t screw this up. They should realign all our cool downs as well.

[visual patio]

https://tenor.com/view/sha-definitely-no-gif-18380924

I didn’t know about the passive lines while it’s down tho that’s sweet. Wondering how often they trigger 🤔

[dense monolith]

#1059997593507221555 message

every 3 seconds but its 4 lines, so dont get too excited over it

still a very good add on to passive mobbing abilities, best part is leaving the buff on manual cast benefits your autobattle

[dense monolith]

i got 300 nodes and 35 condensed nodes prepared

[marble token]

https://tenor.com/view/you-birthday-gif-12730948874656646349

[dense monolith]

biggest change is how Rocket Punch works, max trigger of 60 times at lvl30

Referencing this post #1059997593507221555 message Rocket Punch was 3626 lines in a 3min test

Going by 2 procs of new Rocket Punch, max lines will be 27 * 60 * 2 = 3240 lines

[robust root]

but now its by activation chance, which means that all the attacks will land

as oppose to last time , when the boss goes invincible , dps is lost

[marble token]

Doesn't matter what atk activates it if it's capped

[dense monolith]

Depends, we didnt really have a proper dummy test post new Blaster kit. Tofu's post I believe was in the era of bob>magnum preset combo where you would have unlimited ammo at all times

I remembered jay6 used to do a run post rework

In here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpaEer4zWAc , he clocked 3541/3676 lines for Rocket Punch

im not so convinced, feels like a slight nerf while being propped up by V2 V3 line counts and the new V4 skill

[marble token]

We'll know in like 10 hours

Get them fog training ss done

[cursive lichen]

V1 is nerf by this.

[marble token]

We don't bob/weave anymore tho?

I thought that was replaced by hammer smash?

[cursive lichen]

just use magnum + MP after update

and HS

[dense monolith]

we didnt bob/weave>MP due to it activating too fast

#1059997593507221555 message this was the one whr she was doing MP>bob>MP>weave

[marble token]

Yea that's way too much dashing around

Wish they gave us a toggle to dash in place

[dense monolith]

MP>MP>MP>HS preset should be better now. The cooldown is 1second so you should be able to cast HS every cycle and the delay is reduced too

[robust root]

it is not a nerf for top tier boss content like damien and lucid for now

just for reference, our v1 is hitting about 5.7k lines for a 8 min fight for damien

with the new change , we will be hitting 6.4k lines

[faint zinc]

Quite interested to see how high you will hit in ghb @robust root

[robust root]

shiet the GOAT is here

[dense monolith]

@robust root a2z player?

[robust root]

yea

[dense monolith]

wait ur the other blaster main LOL

[faint zinc]

He is the only one that can trouble Tazo and me

You should know which blaster la

[dense monolith]

theres only 2 of us lolll

[faint zinc]

Hahaha

[robust root]

still a far cry..

[dense monolith]

See Ultradobby or JohnnySinXL rmb to full buff and punish them for me

[robust root]

haha @faint zinc 2 trillion in ghb tmr?

[dense monolith]

any reason why he locked MP?

[faint zinc]

I dont know lol, i hope the Demon Bane is good

[cursive lichen]

It can be faster.

[visual patio]

Kinda sad by the shortening of our cannon overdrive active status

For stuff like ghb and guild dungeon

I feel like it’s gonna be a lot more micro managing our skill buffs now instead of having them on pets

In order to maximize our hit count

Don’t think we gonna want v1 going the same time as cannon overdrive. Probably be a good fill while v1 is down to then spam bunker buster

[dense monolith]

it cant be helped, the whole changes was to basically sync up everyone to be a 1min/2min cd class

[dense monolith]

check out the tech video fallstar posted, we might be back to bob/weave>MP preset again

[visual patio]

I saw that ish looks nutty?

!!!*

I do like the animation for MP to DB tho

That extra animation makes the attacking look cooler haha

[dense monolith]

yeah, lets test it out after patch

[visual patio]

I can’t wait anymore lmao

[silk rivet]

V1 nerfed, max 60 activation count meme

any other classes skills get nerfed?

[dense monolith]

not really, we'll have to do a 3min test to find out overall state for blasters

but if you ask me, Sia seems to be hit somewhat

[silk rivet]

It’ll be stronger due to V4 and v2/3 buffs, but it sucks that V1 is now capped

Even less skill expression

V1 used to trigger 300+ times in 120s

Now nerfed to 60 times

[dense monolith]

Yeah im trying to argue that the shorter cooldown and 2.25x lines plus buffed V2/V3 helps to balance things in the long run. They seem to also return us our bob/weave>MP combo.

mrmok thinks its better, we'll see. He has damien bossing experience for this matter after all

[silk rivet]

max activation count limit = lower skill ceiling

V2 and V3 were buffed ya

[visual patio]

Lumi friend says he got nerfed

[visual patio]

I can see it being really close to if not better. Gonna come down to how we rotate all of our skills now

[robust root]

Actually no, on a contrary , our bob weave mp/db chain casting delay is increased

But they buffed hammer smash and reduced the awkward lag animation at the end for smoother chain casting. Not sure how it will affect our line count but I think it will have a slight positive impact

It will be a matter of manual casting hammer smash or preset it with mp/db post patch

[dense monolith]

Lvl30 V4

[robust root]

Better than expected 1260 lines

[dense monolith]

Passive damage is lower than kmsm but activation hit count is 3 more (18>21) than kmsm

[robust root]

Any testers?

[visual patio]

Idk what I’m doing anymore! Haha

[marble token]

I'm seeing 1-1.5k line increase comparing apples to apples

I was hitting 16.5 ish before and I just hit 17.9 lines. Not sure how yall were hitting 17.5 before the patch

But regardless I'm seeing increase of 1-1.5k lines without v4 or the class buff

[robust root]

U using preset?

[marble token]

I used mp/mp preset with manual hs and mp/mp/mp/hs preset

Manual tapping and hold down

The numbers were pretty much the same

[robust root]

Can show the battle analysis ?

I’ll help take a look

[dense monolith]

sorry ill do testing later at night, got work and dinner

[visual patio]

V4 lvl 15 I’m hitting 21.5k lines

So minus 2190 from v4

[robust root]

That’s not too bad

[visual patio]

Db got like 24k I heard

With lvl 30 v4

[robust root]

Gotta remember that we don’t have clone lines

Bulk of our lines are capped at our mdc

[dense monolith]

yup im hitting 20k-21k lines or so, using MP>MP>MP>HS preset and hold down

very scuffed test run outside right now

also this was done pre-hotfix

not sure how this affects us:

1. Improve the delay that occurs when using consecutive key inputs for skills.

[dense monolith]

trying some hold down tests

This is MP>MP>HS
And then

And this is MP>MP>MP>HS

2MP1HS ensures you never run out of ammo, you have lesser MP DB lines but more HS lines
3MP1HS will cause you to hit ammo limit and recharge every other time

[dense monolith]

probably 3MP1HS still the way to go

[robust root]

22046 lines

22,141 lines

i think thats the best

[sand glen]

MP>MP>MP>HS？

or MP>MP>HS？

[dense monolith]

Are you doing manual HS?

[robust root]

manual hs

and dont use the press and hold function

[dense monolith]

Sometimes got to let fingers take a break

[robust root]

haha its currently bugged

[robust root]

no presets , use HS manually

and HS is harder to cap

[dense monolith]

True, back to manual inputs

[robust root]

but i feel that nexon did a pretty good job in balancing the classes

[dense monolith]

Kinda run out of button space

[robust root]

from what i see , every class is hitting around 22k

[dense monolith]

Yah, alot of class have inflated clone lines

[robust root]

if u scale them back down , they will be around 22k as well

[dense monolith]

At least its easier now to calculate real lines for them now

[robust root]

im quite happy with the changes

esp for blaster

now there is no chance to whiff on our v1 and v4 skills

[dense monolith]

You dont whiff v1 if you attack while boss is invul

User issue

Wads ur boss layout @robust root

[robust root]

nope the 60 counts wont decrease

it will only decrease if u land a hit

u can go try and attack air

the 60 counts still remains

[dense monolith]

I see, thanks for the clarification

[robust root]

it takes about 30 secs of non stop attacking to consume the 60 charges

[dense monolith]

Do feedback your damien run thoughts after clearing this week. Im probably gonna be in ndam training next week onwards

[robust root]

ok sure

an interesting to note is that our v4 takes about 20 secs to consume 60 charges

in a way blaster becomes more of a bursty class than a consistent dps class

[dense monolith]

Yea, im only salty our v3 isnt as bursty as in PC

[robust root]

yeaa

and it is not as smooth as PC

it has the awkward animation

[visual patio]

You guys gonna keep everything on pets for boss runs?

I guess when I get my v4 to lvl 30 I’ll pass that 22k mark

[dense monolith]

Im leaving v4 on manual

Else you can put on pet buff in boss room

The aoe dmg helps for normal mobs killing

[visual patio]

Hmmmmmmm yeah I been running CO on manual maybe I’ll switch it up

[visual patio]

Can u use detonate instead of blink for Damien?

[marble token]

I'm hitting 20-21k

I'm on a tablet if that matters

v4 is only lvl 10

[robust root]

Yep theoretically u can. I have used before but it is not as smooth as blink.

I’m still using blink atm .

[robust root]

Are u preseting hs and mpdb?

Shld not preset

[marble token]

I've done both. Same results

[robust root]

And for your gattling cannon, is it maxed?

If it’s maxed, it should yield around 1.7k lines for 3 casts

[marble token]

No, level 16 I think

[robust root]

Ah ok

[marble token]

My bunker buster mp/db counts are lower, not sure why

[robust root]

U are missing some lines from rocket punch as well

[robust root]

Coz u are using preset

[marble token]

I'm manual everything right now. Same results

The only preset I have is hammer smash with resistance infantry because of space

[robust root]

Are u using hold down button?

[marble token]

I tried both, same results

[robust root]

U can try to record a video , I can help take a look

[marble token]

Eh, too much work. I appreciate you trying to trouble shoot tho. I'm only short like 1 maybe 2k lines. Oh well

Some of it is rocket punch and v4 not maxed

[robust root]

Haha no worries

Gotta help a fellow blaster

[marble token]

❤️

[robust root]

Only 5 of us lmfao

[marble token]

Lol

I opened up 380 nodes last night and only got 4 v4

RIP. Nexon hates me.

[robust root]

Yea my rng wasn’t that good too

[robust root]

Soloed multi ark just for the luls.

V4 is very strong

feels good to steal multi ark pin in first 30 seconds

[next pier]

How's blaster now?

[dense monolith]

not bad, V4 is decent n gives a bit of QOL. Better than what we expected for V3

[robust root]

Yea it feels good when v1 and v4 is up

[faint zinc]

Same too lol

I just yolo ed without any concrete strategy lol

[robust root]

Anyway to my fellow blasters , I found a way to have unlimited bullets .

U can use this preset and your gauge will always be refilled before it turns

It is for those who are lazy to manual hs but it’s the better preset to use out of all the presets

[silk rivet]

How many lines in 2 / 3 mins?

[dense monolith]

i did hold down tests for various setups
#1059997593507221555 message

1MP1HS and 2MP1HS has no difference

[silk rivet]

So 13.6k lines in 2 mins? 😢

[dense monolith]

not sure @robust root testing with manual pressing works better

keeping up your MP/DB tempo is more valuable than having ammo perma up, sadly our no reload combo is a dream

[robust root]

Yea manual pressing is still better as of the current meta as it is quite hard to cap hammer smash lines

[autumn egret]

o.o

[visual patio]

Anyone finding the start of MP/DB combo very slow?

[robust root]

Didn’t notice . Gotta hammer smash first

[visual patio]

I’m using hammer smash first. But the first MP comes out slow and then it speeds up after the first cast. Where as before MP would roll into DB smooth

[visual patio]

Let me know if you see the difference. But I discovered when I hold down MP there’s a slight start up delay compared to when I repeatedly tap MP it chains to DB instantly

[robust root]

Oh I’m not using the hold down function .

[silk rivet]

Yes

Bugged

[dense monolith]

Yes I do experience it, always "warm up" by doing MP/DB while boss loads

[silk rivet]

Can you report it in the bug report section? 🫰

[mossy fern]

So blaster gets a 10s iframe every 45s thru blast shield?

[autumn egret]

wads the ab skill wheel for the revamped blaster?

[autumn egret]

[vernal jacinth]

Mmm

Theres 2 i orefer mp/db -bb and hyper 170

Ill send soon

[vernal jacinth]

Hs mp/db preset

[marble token]

8800-9000 in eos with shotgun punch, bunker buster, hyper magum punch, hurrican, and muzzle flash

[autumn egret]

after the revamp, hyper still add these?

[dense monolith]

Punch is correct, Bunker Buster for mains is definitely 1fd 1line 1invin. If you are just alting either choice is fine.

[autumn egret]

almost 200

[autumn egret]

Finally 200 without burning

Man blaster changed class after 200

Before 200 really cant grind well

[dense monolith]

Yeah V4 aftershock image is godsend

Imagine maining blaster pre-V4

[autumn egret]

[eager birch]

Can some1 Show me a beginner skill Set I should use? I am a beginner at Level 120. and other Tipps / guides für MSM? Thx alot

[eager birch]

Only 4 skills?

[dense monolith]

@robust root grats on the Will run, been running NDam and maybe moving up for HDam/Lucid training. Blaster has been fun in those runs.

[autumn egret]

Anyone has a good perfect trio suggestion? @dense monolith ?

@robust root grats on Will !

[dense monolith]

core 5 skills are: Magnum Punch/Revolving Cannon/Bunker Buster/Double Blast/Hammer Smash

some recommend Rocket Punch but I personally dont use it, i went wif the Ballistic Hurricane (cyclone) skill instead

[autumn egret]

[dense monolith]

Hammer Smash is the least impactful of the 5, focus on the previous 4

[robust root]

Tks man. Yea tbh blaster is pretty fun and has a high skill cap . If u know how to use your iframes properly , you are pretty much unkillable

[autumn egret]

teach pls

[autumn egret]

lotus first try

[dense monolith]

gz on the run, if you got the skillz blaster can walk thru on p1 lasers

[autumn egret]

i tried in solo mode to see how it works

not sure which skill can do it

i weave in and boom dead

[dense monolith]

bunker blast and walk

[autumn egret]

ohhh

oh yeah the hyper 1s iframe

[dense monolith]

the 1s invul from the hyper

[autumn egret]

[dense monolith]

they stopped the invul part on bob/weave when we got "remastered" i believe

[autumn egret]

i think laser does not count as "physical collision"

"magical"

[dense monolith]

you got V2, V3, inpene shield and bunker blast for iframes, and i guess hyper magnum punch but thats abit iffy

[autumn egret]

hmm

then how to optimize the rotations

what skill to remove from pet

entire v1-4 ?

[dense monolith]

nah v1 is always auto buff, v4 is the conditional one

autobuff when bossing, remove when ab

[autumn egret]

i see

i didnt know v1 should be removed when ab

lul

[dense monolith]

the bunker blast iframes is also good on ark runs

v1 always on auto pet buff

[autumn egret]

👍

oh u mean v4

[dense monolith]

if you time it during screen cracks you feel like a god esp on bishop-less runs

[autumn egret]

HAHAHAH

i get what you mean

thanks for the tip! i will try it out tomorrow

only started bossing on blaster earlier

still havent got used to the skills yet

[dense monolith]

you can watch Evola old blaster lotus videos on youtube rip Evola rr to pala

[autumn egret]

hahahah

pala op

i got bored of pala hence came to blaster

[peak ocean]

my blaster will make a comeback

[dense monolith]

gz on the will clear tho

[peak ocean]

Thank youu

[autumn egret]

@dense monolith for bossing use preset better?

[dense monolith]

like magnum/double preset? doesnt make a diff

[autumn egret]

if add in hammer smash ?

any use?

or just focus on magnum/double blast?

[dense monolith]

hgammer smash is seperate button, u nid to time to press every 10s

[autumn egret]

i mean include it in the preset or no good

[dense monolith]

no good for hammer smash in mp/db preset

[sharp quartz]

https://youtu.be/gZLIDCAJbIs?si=nyj3Cepit7-rKkPQ

Some content for y’all if ur bored. My first hdam solo clear. I’m still a noob blaster

[autumn egret]

[dense monolith]

v nice, if only hdam solo also has a chance to drop MEP

if not normal group ndam gives more coins for less trouble

[sharp quartz]

haha yeah, just wanted to do it for fun/content. Wished it dropped MEP for solo

[mossy fern]

Do u have to constantly spam bunker explosion when hyper passive is on?

[mossy fern]

I see u hold gattling punch a few times even tho ds4 is up and there seems to be a good burst window. What’s the thought process behind that?

[sharp quartz]

I honestly didn’t even look up to see when ds4 was up. Everything happening so fast in hdam so I mainly use it to try to iframe his dashes or if I’m cornered from tornado.

[mossy fern]

Gotcha

Debating between blaster n xenon for burning event

[sharp quartz]

wdym by this?

[mossy fern]

I mean overdrive

Sorry didn’t mean to say passive

[sharp quartz]

Yeah I spam it since it’s part of the combo rotation

Or wait for an iframe window to use it

Since it gives 1 second invincibility from the hyper passive

[mossy fern]

It’s pretty spammy still it feels like

I was told HS is hard to cap. So even tho we almost get same line with 3mp+hs preset vs manual HS based on my testing, we get more line from HS n we might not be capping those lines.

So I have 4 button to press constantly. Mp then hs every 10d and bunker every few seconds

That’s a lot of micromanagement

So it seems like for our sanity, preset hs with mp, and spam bunker every few seconds is the best right?

[sharp quartz]

blaster is not for the faint of heart xD. I prefer to mp/hs manually as it feels a bit smoother to me.

[mossy fern]

Haha for sure. I main Evan and sia

So I’m used to more mechanically intensive classes

And blaster feels like it’s up my alley mechanic-wise

[sharp quartz]

Yeah it’s fun for sure

@visual patio is the pro. He can answer your questions better than me.

[mossy fern]

What’s resistance infantry cooldown?

Is reworked v1 like NL v4? It stores a bunch of charges n you just blow thru them as u attack til u run out?

[sharp quartz]

I thinks it’s 60 seconds

[sharp quartz]

It’s by activation count now yeah. Not by duration

[mossy fern]

How does vitality shield work?
