Blaster

[autumn egret]

so weird

Throwing bullet blast with no down button

2nd pic holding down

so holding down is bad

lol

then whats the point of holding it down???

[robust root]

The burst is faster when u hold it down

But gotta test the overall line count

[autumn egret]

i went in practice Will

the result was bad

[dense monolith]

unless Rocket Punch is proc on Bullet Blast's bullet consumed

[autumn egret]

i can barely do 14:30s left on p1-1

[dense monolith]

maybe its a bug and we need to report it

[robust root]

I think u didnt do it properly for this

[autumn egret]

i just throw v1234

[autumn egret]

and then stop the run after all lines done

[robust root]

U should get this number

[autumn egret]

eh?

ok let me try again

[robust root]

U gotta press and hold v3 until all 5 bullets are consume

[dense monolith]

idk rocket punch hit count for v2+v3 seems kinda inconsistent

[cursive lichen]

it seems like we get more than 1000+line count numbers/2 mins in this update?

[dense monolith]

whatever Rocket Punch numbers then -180 lines due to nerf

[robust root]

It’s quite consistent , for gatting , it’s 450 lines . For bullet blast , it’s 0 lines if u press the down arrow , 286 lines if hold v3

But it’s kinda annoying to hold the v3 down coz it will dash forward

Then u gotta turn back and cast Gatling

[cursive lichen]

yeah

[robust root]

Hmmm

Yup that’s it

[autumn egret]

yeah but this update my timing for Will is taking 13s longer than before patch

and i dont get why stacking v23 on a preset sometimes the order will change randomly

sometimes i start the Will fight my v2 is infront of v3 .... ?

when i put v3 then v2

so weird

[dense monolith]

so overall for instant v3 scenarios its like a net ~350 linecount gain for a 2min

counting the +1 from magnum

[cursive lichen]

oh wait, this only triggers during the duration of the V1 buff, so it does not 1000+/2mins

[dense monolith]

yes its setup specific, and V3 usage specific as well

[robust root]

Yea , u gotta bob/weave to change the order back

[robust root]

Think 350 is not counting the magnum buff

We can cast about 170 magnum punches in 2 mins

So overall line count increase is about 522 per 2 mins

[autumn egret]

so we just have more sustain than burst

[dense monolith]

well gain is gain, with many ** behind the gain part

[robust root]

I tested our line count pre patch . It’s about 15.5k per 2 mins

It should bring us to 16k with the rebalance

[dense monolith]

hope our MP/DB gets a massive upgrade in 6th job

[robust root]

Heh don’t expect too much

But I think our 6th job skill is one of the better ones

5k lines in a very short window

[dense monolith]

you need to perform lower than rest of pande so nexon can buff us

[dense monolith]

it also procs RP fyi

[robust root]

Yea

But u gotta face the boss when u cast the 6 th job skill

[dense monolith]

its a full screen aoe i believe

all origin skills are

[robust root]

Yea but if u want the RP to hit, u gotta be close and facing the boss

At least that is what I understand from PC

[dense monolith]

thankful for blaster have few buff skills cuz now you can equip all decent skills

[faint zinc]

Technically you should be able to equip all decent and Erda skills assuming you don’t use too much slots for boost skills

[robust root]

Actually I just realised that erda skills doesn’t give PA % Rip

[dense monolith]

Kaiser, Lynn begs to differ

[open cosmos]

is this from holding v3

[autumn egret]

press and hold v3

now we cannot hold down button unless boss fight is easy

[mossy fern]

Have u tested new line count

[robust root]

Not really , probably later

[marble token]

https://tenor.com/view/plankton-eating-popcorn-popcorn-plankton-meme-plankton-yes-gif-18251234252356731757

Did we get ninja nerfed?

[signal summit]

So new meta is hold skill or quick cast bullet blast?

[cursive lichen]

hold it when you have V1 buff

[marble token]

Do we think it's a bug? Anyone gonna post their findings in #msm-bug-report

[velvet sinew]

Is rocket punch game changing for mobbing or i save it for other nodes

[dense monolith]

Posted #msm-bug-report message

[velvet sinew]

Even the discord bot is bugged🤦

[velvet sinew]

Does decent skills passive buff stack

[autumn egret]

no idea just put becos i got nothing else to fill anyway

[velvet sinew]

Does rocket punch, magnum punch nodes, or decent nodes increases blaster mobbing ability even more? I at sf158

[robust root]

It was indeed a bug

Just tested , around 166 lines for instant activation

As compared to 284 lines if u hold it down . I’ll take the 166 lines

[dense monolith]

Got 165 lines so it tallies

[dense monolith]

Push further and ask why the secondary explosion doesnt trigger RP

[robust root]

Tbh I got no idea how they do the math for this

166 lines will mean 7 RP attacks

[dense monolith]

Same as gatling punch, it was consistently 450 RP lines correct?

[robust root]

Yea

For gattling it’s 19 RP attacks

[dense monolith]

might be the entire damage sequence + RP cooldown?

like RP procs per 0.1s or something

[robust root]

Can’t be 0.1 . Afterimage shock is 0.15 . RP should have a higher count

But yea I think that’s probably it

Number of secs divide by reactivation coolddown

[marble token]

Just tell them give us back our cancel animation mechanic

Putting down hammer smash kills our mobility and dps

It used to be bob/weave to keep up the stacks because it cancels the animation when you use it with mp/db

[mossy fern]

I’m looking for 2 min line count along with battle analysis results. Please let me know your best number!

[marble token]

https://www.youtube.com/live/6JtFyrsvSuY?si=04pB-Y6Z0Uu_-6GB

[dense monolith]

3min linecount snapshot sounds kinda weird

[velvet sinew]

Does rocket punch activate itself without the buff on or

[autumn egret]

becos of last time

180s skills

for most

overtime we get 2mins or 1min skill

3mins is cool tbh this kind of dmg test the longer the duration the better the sample size

16.7k

not bad

[velvet sinew]

So rocket punch nodes or decent nodes is better

[marble token]

You should have plenty of space for all of them now

[robust root]

I would take these claims of line count with a pinch of salt

Some are inflated due to clone lines / small lines . Gotta see the capped lines. I think that will be a better indicator of which classes are good

[autumn egret]

https://youtu.be/sIiyYyGjw_A

a friend of mine duo with me to try try haha

[edgy rapids]

What would be the best node trio for blaster

[velvet sinew]

Is aftershock and pen body skill passively activated or must be active

[mossy fern]

Checking back in case u have done a 2 min line test in fog

[robust root]

Hmm have not done a 2 min test

[velvet sinew]

Another guy(echo) not convinced blaster is OP for casual and new

[velvet sinew]

Trying out removing shotgun punch and magnum blast to die less in sf158

[velvet sinew]

Class keep dyin. Skip

[signal summit]

Bad class go next

[autumn egret]

Blaster not for the weak pls move on

[signal summit]

Only stay if you real

[velvet sinew]

At least it has teleport skill and is among the resistance

[autumn egret]

hmm

im 75.5m now

i tried to solo Will but at p3 still not able to burst it down

real sad

[velvet sinew]

They just need to buff blaster lines

I m grateful for the passive dmg increase nodes for this class, as most of such nodes are mage exclusive and not all uses magic guard

[dense monolith]

just tried a very non-serious fog run, got abt 9.8k for 1min, 16.1k for 2min. I'm nt rly tryhard in this aspect but its a bit lesser than Echo's source

this is incl Will skill

[robust root]

I did around 16.6k lines . I’m not too sure how did the Monarch guy do 17k lines in 2mins

Is the Monarch guy in this chat ? Any screenshot of the 17k line count?

[dense monolith]

yea i didnt bother with minmaxxing bunker buster so this seems alright

[dense monolith]

lowkey what if u buffed V1 V4 like 20 seconds before fog start, so that the last 20 seconds you get them back

[mossy fern]

I chatted w him. He did it on pc

He got 180 cast of mp and 180 of db and 32 of bunker

2363- bunker. 2123 db. 1964 mp = 6450
Mok: 2180 bunker. 2053 db. 1882 mp = 6115

His rocket punch is also 2172 vs 2090 of mok

His bullet blast was 1169 vs 1021 of mok

Bullet blast is interesting. Testing usually show 510-520 line on it

[velvet sinew]

Did you guys got jahalin or something esle as burning weapon when this class came out??? Was the weapon very expensive back then when blaster came with grow with blaster event

[dense monolith]

its just a matter of charging it esp for the start of fog

[mossy fern]

What do u mean?

[dense monolith]

bullet blast can be charged, it gives more lines per bullet used, you can start time and then charge it up, its 30lines per bullet but tracker is abit inconsistent

[mossy fern]

But you can’t do it before boss spawn, can u?

Or do u mean just hold bullet blast while after boss spawn to use the bullets, which reduces time to spam magnum punch. I tested insta cast vs 6 bullet casts, makes no difference

[dense monolith]

hold bullet blast before boss spawns

2-3s before

its just a technicality cuz idt we even charge it max in actual bossing

usually its just down+V3 to insta cast it

[mossy fern]

Hmm lemme test if I hold before boss spawn

[dense monolith]

Rocket Punch feels semi cheesed, like i said above you can cast V1V4, wait for 15-20s before starting fog

[mossy fern]

I got confirmation from him he didn’t cheese rocket punch

[dense monolith]

yea but if you casted X seconds before start of fog, you have them up at X seconds before end of fog for 2min tests

as long as u know wad it means its fine

it might be a PC advantage i guess, cuz refreshing hammer smash doesnt really give you the proper feedback on mobile

[mossy fern]

Yea I asked n he said he didn’t do that

Coz Thatd be consider cheesing to me that cant be replicated in bossing. U can precast anything that doesn’t give u an extra cast before thr end of 2 min

[robust root]

That bullet blast and rocket punch line count is definitely cheesed

He precasted before the boss spawns

Unless he got a video to show that he is not precasting those

[robust root]

It’s not a PC advantage coz I’m also using a PC 😬

[mossy fern]

Those affect a few. But he does get more mp/db and bunker out

[robust root]

Hmm , I think he is using bobbing/weaving to maintain the combo stacks instead of hammer smash . What is his hammer smash use count ?

[mossy fern]

12

So he does keep it up. I checked

Just seem like he was able to squeeze more in somehow

[robust root]

Oh I used 22 times , that makes sense then. The extra 10 uses that I used for hammer smash I can be a db/mp

The bulk of the line count difference (228 lines) is from v skills

Pretty sure he got more lines from afterimage shock as well

[dense monolith]

Poor me i did it on mobile

[robust root]

Blaster is one of the few classes that you can’t play on mobile

[dense monolith]

My nexon acct is in GMS so it sucks to off my vpn just for msm

[cerulean imp]

Hello

Would I be able to ask questions about blasters here?

[velvet sinew]

I enjoy blaster in mobile more than pc

So i gonna fund it

[dense monolith]

wad issue? its p straight forward unless your bossing with shotgun punch or sth

[cerulean imp]

Is bobbing and weaving really necessary for bossing?

[dense monolith]

no, its purely movement now. i personally dont use it

[cerulean imp]

Oh thank goodness, I found that it kinda got in the way but I wasn’t sure

[cerulean imp]

Thank you

[dense monolith]

you refresh bullets with hammer smash now

[cerulean imp]

Thank you

May I ask about perfect trios, skill presets for bossing and AB

[cerulean imp]

The bobbing and weaving was also a little annoying

[dense monolith]

uh im a bit more technical than the others, imo
perfect trio: MP/DB/Bunker
3 nodes: revolving cannon/hammer smash/ballistic hurricane/shotgun punch

AB shotgun punch if you can oneshot else MP/DB

[cerulean imp]

Thank you thank you 🙏

[cerulean imp]

What would you do if you run out of room for skills on your pet?

[velvet sinew]

@cerulean imp for bossing you can use it to move forward and backwards, aside from that, once you get stronger, i just use it like teleport in mages, although i think blaster lacks a horizontal jump skill without rope lift

[cerulean imp]

I’ve always just used detonate to move around. I always thought bobbing and weaving boosted dmg

?

[velvet sinew]

It does combo with your skills for a short while aft the bob weave buff is up

[robust root]

Bob to move around . Detonate to “fly” for gloom , Damien and vhilla

[autumn egret]

i tried without bobbing to upkeep the 10stacks buff with hammer smash together

my dmg drops quite abit

[dense monolith]

Wdym? U alternate bob weave instead?

[autumn egret]

oh i mean just bob

to trigger the stack buff

i was trying how much dmg would i lose by not moving

and damn thats about 4-6% dmg loss

[dense monolith]

Hammer smash refreshes it?

[autumn egret]

without that too

usually i use them so wanted to see how much at my current state would be the dmg loss

[mossy fern]

Not refreshing hammer smash is also a bit of line reduction

So it’s better to refresh w hs rather than bob

[mossy fern]

I’m waiting for my friend to do test coz I’m so lazy

But it seems when we hold v3 while v1+4 is up, it Actuallg results in more dps coz more v1 and 4 trigger

But for second rotation, insta fast v3 since we don’t have v1+4 anymore

This is monarch result when tested

But gotta see if this means 1-2 less cast of bunker

[marble token]

Shouldn't you always cast in place since channeling takes up mp/db and bb time?

[dense monolith]

Yea thats why take the line count test setup with a pinch of salt. None of the classes is going to output those lines on actual bossing.

[velvet sinew]

I alr maxed out my hammer smash

Does anyone uses muzzle flash , magnum blast and another attacking skill that move char forward in sf150+ maps

[robust root]

Yea in high level bossing , it’s just not feasible to channel v3

Eg in vhilla, u can’t afford to move forward once the v3 channeling ends

And in some cases, the boss becomes invulnerable

The lines must be condensed at the shortest time frame possible

[marble token]

Yea, it's a really bad mechanic. Same thing for keeping up stacks with bob/weave or hammer smash. You have bosses with cutscenes that will make you lose stacks or bosses that forces you to either stand still and NOT dps or fly for extended periods in the air causing you to lose your stacks. They really need to adjust that mechanic. Like make it 20-30 seconds before you lose your stacks, put it as a pet buff etc.

I'd also like to see custom cooldowns for presets. Like a self imposed 8 second cooldown on hammer smash so if your presets looks like HS/MP/MP then you can only hammer smash every 8 seconds to keep those stacks up and you can maximize your magnum punch time

Or make it so magnum punch cancels the hammer smash animation because that animation takes way too long (this is what it used to do)

[signal summit]

this would make blaster very easy

[marble token]

Yea, my fingers would be very happy. I'm jelly of the classes that can just walk around and do dmg or press 1 button and do dmg

[signal summit]

part of the fun of blaster is the challenge of mechanics, which i find enjoyable

the complexity allows for great counterplay given the number of iframes and movement abilities

but i agree the dps output could probably be slightly streamlined

[marble token]

The complexity and dps output of Blaster definitely aren't inline with each other lol.

[signal summit]

lines seem good based on that chart no?

[marble token]

Lines are inflated. You'll never be standing still long enough to even hit those numbers while bossing

And Blaster range is so short you're moving half the time to get into position

They introduced movement mechanics starting at Damien on up and if you can't dps while moving then you're not hitting your lines. You can't just stand there and dps anymore

[velvet sinew]

Finally blaster doing alright with rocket rush and muzzle flash

Movement skills

Detonate okok, shotgun punch is OP

[dense monolith]

NL/NW singing payphone while we spamming bunker rotations

[marble token]

Or Sia walking around dodging everything while do full dps

Worst part of our mechanic is we have to be attacking to use our "passive". All other classes arrows or missiles or swords just fly off and attack by themselves

[velvet sinew]

What you mean

Anyway what skills dmg does revolving cannon increases

[autumn egret]

sdw

[autumn egret]

https://tenor.com/view/payphone-gif-26452606

[autumn egret]

but look at adele

crap

most people rerolled out of it

rare class like a blaster in high level content

back then was so hyped about adele being easy to use most skills auto hit

but look at blaster now, i consume lesser PEs than adele would have been hahaha

[velvet sinew]

Adele is good for monster collection

I guess ppl make blaster because mobile is auto battle and no one plays blaster for very long in pc for one sitting

[autumn egret]

i feel adele was clunky with the 4th job skill animation spam and easy to lose out dmg when boss moves around except during v2 whole screen hit hahaha

so i said good bye to it

[velvet sinew]

Yea adele was missing lines

[signal summit]

you mean just to AB?

or sit in map AFK with passive on lol

[velvet sinew]

Anything since it can afk in ladders in maps with no safe spot and still mob

I think adele excels in pc mobbing and blaster for mobile depends on which you prefer

But adele is my ab and mc mvp

[signal summit]

Blaster mobbing is awful on mobile?

Minimal AoE or bounce abilities

[autumn egret]

blaster is crap dont play

[velvet sinew]

All resistance classes have tele to edelstein skill so i guess rank the resistances classes among themselves

[drowsy timber]

Pls upload more blaster content

Very interesting class

Make guides and showcases

Its like a rare gem to find blaster videos in msm yt

I thought the class is very cool since im a big hand to hand/martial art fan boy

[dense monolith]

reroll to mo xuan

[drowsy timber]

Only blaster bucc be punching

[drowsy timber]

I already main Hero 😂

Animation so good

Every time i burst on hero its like dopamine maxxing

[dense monolith]

raging blow looks better on 6th job

[velvet sinew]

Resistance classes are hybrid and prob least played class up to debate. Wh is mounted archer until recent. Blaster is like pirates. Mechanic is sair with a machine. Battlemage is int melee warror

The rest are special classes, demon, xenon, dk about kinesis

If battlemge and wh is meh then i guess only mechanic and blaster left

[drowsy timber]

Yeah

It look okay on 4th job

But raging blow + instictual combo 5th job skill make its so good

6th job raging blow is gonna make it even cooler

[autumn egret]

tb

[autumn egret]

bam more like inting

🤣

now blaster has the best iframe

aside from dk

[autumn egret]

need more time to go vhilla

i gotta save $ to buy house irl first

[drowsy timber]

Oh yeah and tb

But she be throwing sharks 🦈

[autumn egret]

but still punching

with thunder

[drowsy timber]

https://tenor.com/view/sharpedo-pokemon-eat-you-died-pov-gif-27016557

[autumn egret]

go sharpedo

kek

[drowsy timber]

HAHAHA

[autumn egret]

if they gonna release mo xuan they should do it around dec

becos its just nice period after lynn

[drowsy timber]

Still so many classes unreleased

Mihile kain

[autumn egret]

i feel iel is coming out instead

[drowsy timber]

Collecting dust

Ya lol

[autumn egret]

mihile and kain forgotten class

[drowsy timber]

Confirm IEL priority

And shade aran remaster

[autumn egret]

those 2 dont bother

just make free legion 220 give up

[dense monolith]

if iel isnt coming then that means dec 26

[drowsy timber]

At this point they gotta push iel up

Since its original exclusive class

I think they will delay shade and aran since its not in demand

Maybe next class is kain this december

[velvet sinew]

Yea i made blaster since my server hve full of Cygnus

Tb i just look the cosmetic, i think some skills need to combo to activate

Cygnus no teleport to ereve skill and ereve have no mr kim

Recently there should be an event they gave away fish mace for those who missed cygnus remaster

Aftshock image got a bit of shock effects it should be alright except it is not blue

Aftshock image may aggro monster, gonna be careful past sf150

Shotgun punch/blaster rush too

Both escape from their magic attack but still luck dependent

I guess blaster skills have issue surviving sf165 with tanky mobs that attack when aggro

Hammer smash stain also aggro

[drowsy timber]

U main blaster?

[velvet sinew]

My next fav class because it is less popular

[drowsy timber]

I see

You should main it

I see you talk about blaster alot

[velvet sinew]

Also forced to play during erel burning as idk any class details, before mobbing and other on the field data

[drowsy timber]

What level now?

[velvet sinew]

209

[drowsy timber]

Not bad what

[velvet sinew]

One lvl to free arcane force

[drowsy timber]

Yeah

How is the auto battle?

Do you have video?

[velvet sinew]

Doing gd in sf158

[drowsy timber]

Icic

[velvet sinew]

Ya so with af++ it gonna stay there very long

[drowsy timber]

My hero also stay in sf158 until lvl215

Since I follow meso rate

Now im at af170

[velvet sinew]

147/144<158<165<168<180 the climb is steep

[drowsy timber]

158 can stop liao

[velvet sinew]

Ya hero is the prob less pop warrior now

[drowsy timber]

No need go higher sf map because sf158 highest meso rate

7.3m per hour

[velvet sinew]

Kk

[drowsy timber]

Hows ur item?

[velvet sinew]

Aran and hero of maplers got free chair cosmetic so only lumi and phanto are impt for me

Gears exalted and no need to upgrade further

[drowsy timber]

Wow

[velvet sinew]

Just dk to refine

[drowsy timber]

Not bad then

Refine need empress stone

[velvet sinew]

I keeping Cygnus for kain and other char so for now, theres no cygnus run

Yea

[drowsy timber]

Oh then what boss are you running everyday?

[velvet sinew]

Horntail

[drowsy timber]

Horntail?

Ah icic

[velvet sinew]

Yea then the other boss acc are unique and higher for high sf maps

So no point trading

[night dock]

What is technically the correct burst for Blaster? Just pop all V skills and punch?

[signal summit]

Yes

And bunker blast ofcourse

[velvet sinew]

Sf165 for short fast meso, comparable to sf168/171, while sf158 blaster is pretty good if ab for hours without opening the phone

Sf158 is catching up

[marble token]

Shouldn't you be focusing on AF. You're gimping your growth if you stick in SF

Late game is gate kept by AF levels

[dense monolith]

its not his main, up to you to entertain his ramblings

[marble token]

Oh makes sense

[velvet sinew]

AF i gonna frm a bit more on mesos first because theres discount coupon usually

[velvet sinew]

Hows your blaster now

[velvet sinew]

What af maps are blasters better at

[velvet sinew]

Is aftershock image even that useful for alternates farming blasters?

Should i go for revolving cannon, hyper magnum punch, shotgun punch, bunker explosion, ballistic, erda explosion or decent skills if i am one shotting mobs without equiping aft shock image

Is there any huge difference in exp gain from af90 to 160?

[marble token]

You have to ask someone that's in those field. They've revamped those like 8 times since I've been there

[velvet sinew]

@blissful moon @marble token is impenetrable skin，aftershock image, bullet blast or gattling punch better for general use dps???

@robust root

And ps i thought bole and @autumn egret same guy

[autumn egret]

???

Because the name start with bo

Just saving data for pre-6th job

Magnum Punch and Double Blast

Magnum Punch Skill Damage: 60% (Base) + 40% (Bobbing) + 60% (Weaving) + 70% (Muzzle Flash) = 230%
Double Blast Skill Damage: 75% (Base) + 80% (Hammer Smash) + 80% (Shotgun Punch) = 235%

--

To-do list for 6th job (and in the future):

1. Max boost for Magnum Punch, Double Blast, Bunker Buster, Revolving Cannon, Hammer Smash, Shotgun Punch, Ballistic Hurricane.
   7 skills to max so we need 5 trios, ideally 1 set of Perfect Trio of (Magnum Punch/Double Blast/Bunker Buster) and 3 trios boosting the remaining 4 skills.

2. Max levels for V skills
   Need them to be 25+5 in order to boost them.

--

We will get our:

a. Origin Skill
b. M1 (HEXA Magnum Punch + HEXA Double Blast)
c. 4 Boost slots for V Skills
d. HEXA Stat I.

Origin skill will be unlocked by default, you got to spend Sol Erda Energy and Sol Erda Fragments to unlock everything else. Unless line counts for M1 HEXA MP + DB is huge, most likely 1st priority will go into HEXA Stat I. There is no confirmed data atm about HEXA Stat I's stats but going by KMSM we should have MDC, DIR/IED and FD for your main stat/secondary stat priority.

[robust root]

I think we will not get IED. Probably MDC , crit dmg and FD

[dense monolith]

I based it off the stats shown here: (link w timestamp)

https://youtu.be/cu6_HxZS8Bs?si=QIdrWSci6BiP_SHW&t=738

help to verify lol

There's a list of stats to choose from, 6 if im not wrong.

So at the end of the day all 6 of them will have their chance to be main stat once and secondary stat twice. Right now PC only has up to HEXA Stat III only.

[robust root]

Oh yea it does say ignore enemy defense

Tbh with the MDC gains we have , I’m not too sure if MDC will be the main stat for every single person . Capping is insanely hard right now

[dense monolith]

Just go with the flow, nexon swings between expanding MDC values and introducing more stat creep systems alobg the way.

Like KMSM now have a constellation system? to add more stats. Also we are getting Decent Holy Fountain and Decent Alchiba so that helps i guess

[dense monolith]

about 4k lines for Origin

hexa MP DB lines kinda funky - 15.89 and 11.86 per cast, maybe low acc missed some

[robust root]

Lines are abit on a low end

[robust root]

But our double blast is only a 12 hit count

[dense monolith]

lowest origin

[robust root]

Extra lines from hexa ?

[dense monolith]

By right yes it should increase linecount and skill dmg %

[robust root]

Dang

But there are different types of origin , gotta compare with those burst type origin

[dense monolith]

#msm-general message for comparison

But its just a showcase, not necessary they know everything

[robust root]

Pretty sure the burst type origin skills are better than dot type origin skills. We can pair it with DS4 and split , meaning 4K lines within the duration of split and DS

So the lines are not indicative of how strong the origin is

But well , let’s see after the patch

[dense monolith]

its also not indicative of skill dmg%, like cannoneer has a ton of lines, but its boosted by buckshot buff

i just put salty title cuz someone else will be like NEXONN

[robust root]

Hopefully we see the “liner” , “rocket punch and after image shock triggers when we use final destroyer, charges are not consumed “ in the patch notes , similar to our v2 and v3

[dense monolith]

Nothing much to learn, lets see tmr aft game is up!

[autumn egret]

the update is so kusoyaro for us blaster

we got no skill upgrades - Job Balance Adjustment

[visual patio]

They hate us

[dense monolith]

I mean they arent gonna put additional mech description in patch notes so just chill ig

[visual patio]

Yeah I’m chillin

Saw shadower getting more lines 😅

[robust root]

I mean blaster is kinda strong now, probably around hayato level . Make sense not to buff us

But post 6th job , hard to say

[signal summit]

im nervous...

[robust root]

From the show case, it seems that hexa mp/db has some line count increase

[robust root]

16 and 12 lines

Origin activates rocket punch!!

thats insane

without consuming charges

[dense monolith]

AIS too correct? Cant test gotta send to AB 🥲

[dense monolith]

You activated M1? From sol erda pass?

[robust root]

yea

[robust root]

whats AIS

[dense monolith]

Afterimage shock

V4

[robust root]

not after image shock

hahaa

that will be too OP brruh

[signal summit]

The 6th job skill feels amazing lol

[visual patio]

That makes such a big difference then with that activation lol

[robust root]

yea

but i cant even cap my origin with buffs

LOL

[signal summit]

So what do i focus on for hexa

[robust root]

hmm i unlocked the mpdb hexa

i think thats the priority ?

not too sure thou

im just going by feel

[dense monolith]

think depends on what skills you cant cap, but Hexa skill lvl 1 probably is 1st priority

for the extra lines in MPDB

[dense monolith]

Tested V4 doesnt proc on origin

[robust root]

Maybe it’s a bug

Like previously when our v1 doesn’t trigger

[visual patio]

What’s the play here? 👀

[dense monolith]

Mdc should be main stat, swap it if you lowrolled

[visual patio]

Are we supposed to keep rolling if we get something trash?

I rolled once with FD as prime cos my min lines are trash

[dense monolith]

The probability odds are listed there, select what stat you need the most ig

[robust root]

It doesn’t matter . You can swap it as and when . Essentially , you are just enhancing the slots , not the stats .

[visual patio]

Okok ty

Is this accurate?

[dense monolith]

No thats maple PC. They dont have cap

[visual patio]

Also I have to put MP/DB into a preset cos it doesn’t chain anymore with hexastat

[dense monolith]

Work on whats the weakest for you

[visual patio]

Ok thanks bro

[marble token]

Figured this out the hard way too

[visual patio]

U mid boss too? 😅

[marble token]

Was wondering why I was not seeing double blast lol

[signal summit]

So once i unlock hexa i need preset?

Does it change mechanics at all? Still smooth?

[dense monolith]

yea just go back to MP DB preset

[empty snow]

Im new to blaster, what do you guys use for AB wheel?

[signal summit]

MP/DB preset feels so clunky or just me???

[dense monolith]

feels normal no change

anyways for hexa matrix i think atm the norm is lacking energy, probably progression is just unlock M1, hexa stat, then stat upgrades if no energy, else origin/v skills if you have energy

[autumn egret]

lacking sol erda hahaha

[dense monolith]

Check your questline rewards there should be 1 energy from cetera questline

[autumn egret]

i took that

for now i havent fought any bosses

tues-wed

[drowsy timber]

need that new blaster vid

for the bon fans

[delicate mountain]

Ya blaster top players moving on

They gonna buff blaster that annoying aft shock and hammer smash so annoying in sf maps aggroing mobs

[faint zinc]

Blasters are very op. Just that it’s not everyone cup of tea when it comes to gameplay mechanics

[marble token]

Anyone know how much FD hexa boost node gives upon unlocking level 1?

[robust root]

11% fd

[delicate mountain]

Finally my blaster dying less aft I got trio nodes over decent thx

So decent nodes not for all

[autumn egret]

I scrub

[robust root]

New blaster vid upcoming

[delicate mountain]

yea

[peak bobcat]

Hi guys, any advice on blaster hyper passives?

[delicate mountain]

Is it normal for blaster to use a lot of hp pots in mobbing? My dmg is good enough, just the gear doesn't come with set bonus until I refine my gears.

[robust root]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO30XYmN_Qo

[silk rivet]

Gyat dam

[autumn egret]

u cannot beat the stupidity of the Auto battle AI that walks u into mobs everywhere

[sharp quartz]

I just saw this, I wouldn’t have ever known 😂

[autumn egret]

huehue

[delicate mountain]

2nd dps 🔥

[delicate mountain]

Sorry to ask but I never play blaster in pcms, what skills dmg does revolving Cannon enhance aside from shotgun punch?

[autumn egret]

i dont play pcms no idea

[robust root]

i saw the patch notes and immediately did some testing on the hyper passives

our hyper passive power punch 20% FD does not apply to our hexa magnum punch and double blast

i think the crit dmg passive also doesnt apply as well

now its fixed

[fresh ferry]

How did u test it

[robust root]

Tested at fog before the patch . Hit the dummy one time with the hyper passive . Reset the hyper passive (leave the FD hyper passive not skilled) hit the dummy again . The damage numbers are exactly the same for the hexa mastery skill .

After the patch , I pumped the hyper passive and hit the dummy once again , the dmg numbers went up

[delicate mountain]

Blaster is cancel skill buff skill from out of the blue

[visual patio]

I’ll take it

[visual patio]

Hexa mp/db or origin skill levels first?

[dense monolith]

Prob hexa mp if not capping on mp now. More consistent dmg over a long burst skill.

But origin gives extra stats at milestones, lvl10 is nice too

[visual patio]

Yeah that’s what I’m gonna start with mp/db feels so weak when everything is down

[autumn egret]

what does the change stat do

can u swap the mdc to main?

[dense monolith]

Yea you can and itll be a lvl3 mdc

The levels dont move

[autumn egret]

10/x/x seems hard

:<

6-8 seems quite average

[dense monolith]

Either aim for lvl8 main or lvl10 sub realistically

[autumn egret]

i try

[visual patio]

Rng is rng 🤷🏽

[gritty kite]

Blaster ab and bossing skill wheel anyone?

[gritty kite]

Anyone home?lol

[signal summit]

@gritty kite

@gritty kite

[gritty kite]

Life saver appreciate 💪🏾

[visual patio]

I have all my DoT damage on one preset including hammer smash

Is anyone clearing 10k mob an hour in sacred 30 solo?

[signal summit]

i find better drops with duo but i can test for you @visual patio

[visual patio]

I’d love to run duo more but I found big diff

[marble token]

I solo in sac20 for about 11k per hour. Duo is around 6700

Sac30 is too big to solo. You miss frags on the upper platforms because you're on the floor 80% of the time

[visual patio]

Using the same AB wheel from above? I’m just under 10k an hour in sac30 and about 8500 an hour in sac20 🤣 show me ur secret

This with origin, will skill and erda shower on the back page is how I been rolling

[marble token]

I guess currently I'm at 10k ish solo

[visual patio]

Hmmm I’ll give it a shot thanks bro

Also do u find dps down only getting off 1 mp 1 db before hammer smashing again?

U can pop off 2 bunkers before having to reset with hammer smash/bobbing

I have a habit of doing after each bunker

[marble token]

I didn't do before and after test but it looks clunky not manually doing hammer smash

But I'm too dumb to remember to manually hammer smash and lose my stacks all the time

[visual patio]

Try doing it following ur bunker

Cos I even notice the diff between 1 bunker and 2 so doing it after every mp/db is probably big diff

[marble token]

Do you preset bunker + hammer?

[visual patio]

Nope

This my set up now

[marble token]

Dam you manual buff too

Too OP

[visual patio]

Archon and will I find it necessary

Rest of them I keep on pets

[marble token]

I play lazy mode

[visual patio]

Will for sure but I bet archon I can get away with pets now

[marble token]

HArchon is fast now

Will is fast enough too that idc

Unless you're talking about CWill.... That's a different story....

[visual patio]

Will is a garbage boss for our class lmao never get all my procs off unless it’s p3

Vhilla as blaster is great tho

[marble token]

The heal and bunker iframe is clutch

[visual patio]

Perfect for her

[robust root]

At least we have our NRL combo next patch in theory

8 preset slots will mean that we can set hammer smash exactly at the 6 slot to reload all our bullets before our gauge reloads

But then again gotta test it out after the patch

[signal summit]

NRL?

[robust root]

No reload combo

[robust root]

But don’t quote me on it. Gotta test after patch

[marble token]

I think the next patch you get 8 presets not 8 slots in the presets we have now

[robust root]

I thought we will be getting this

And this

[dense monolith]

Gonna be interesting to test presets

[signal summit]

20

8600/60min

[marble token]

Good if duo, sounds low if solo

[marble token]

Sweet. Gonna be nice not hammer smashing every second lol

[signal summit]

Solo sad

[marble token]

I know I screenshotted only 30 min but my rates is 10-11k per hour for solo sac20

I've hit 12 before but that was probably a fluke

Posted the AB wheel that I use too

And your frag rates seems low. Maybe bad rng for the night but I'm getting 1-2 frags per hour avg

[signal summit]

Whats ur drop rate

[marble token]

Native is like 52%

[signal summit]

kk yeah same

[copper raft]

is blaster a dead job ? friends said her weapon is really hard to search in ts

[marble token]

You are not going to find a weapon for Blasters lol

There's like 5 active Blasters in each server

Either make one or wait for a class change event

[drowsy timber]

@radiant perch pin this thanks

how come the pinned section in this class is empty?

[velvet sinew]

Welcome back arvin

[drowsy timber]

yo

this class not bad tbh

[velvet sinew]

Iel is really goood but overdue for us, it unlocks the content non gamers people yap for last few months

[drowsy timber]

iel boring la

[velvet sinew]

I use the funds to buff blaster from iel farming

Now my blaster 600k cp

[drowsy timber]

what ign

wanna see ur items

[velvet sinew]

Hold up i screenshot

[drowsy timber]

a2s blaster dry af

i only see Bon and 3 other players

[velvet sinew]

Yea blaster is worth funding because hard to find

Only 5 active per server

[drowsy timber]

im raising a blaster on my alt account to see how he performs, currently 185, while my main acc just farms mesos

if he's fun after 5th job then i'll make one blaster on my main acc

[velvet sinew]

Blaster doesnt heal just take note but it has shield for dmg reduction

[drowsy timber]

yeah lol the word "vitality" sounds like healing haha

[velvet sinew]

Yea meta iel erel lynn and then ultra rare blaster night lord to cover for the boring ness but yea need buff blaster

[drowsy timber]

hows ur item

[velvet sinew]

Vitality shield and buff to rocket rush

[velvet sinew]

Only empress gear route because my blaster had hard time sfing gears to 17 without breaking and now they changed exalt rules(the new shop maybe getting new exalt stone i hope)

So its all refine cycle

[drowsy timber]

Sf18 quite ez tbh

Just a mental game

[velvet sinew]

Breaking is annoying restore or scroll

[drowsy timber]

Wait this ur main or?

[velvet sinew]

Alt

[drowsy timber]

Oh i meant u have to sf18 during unique rank

[velvet sinew]

Yup i end up i sf new gear and replace e gear

I changed my helm once to czak helm as i thought any helm works

[drowsy timber]

u not a2s?

which server u playing?

[velvet sinew]

Union a2

[drowsy timber]

ohhh

[velvet sinew]

My a2s is angelic buster and other bossers

[drowsy timber]

u main blaze wizard right? if im not wrong

[velvet sinew]

Yup

Fund from lynn

[drowsy timber]

how long it took u to find ur main?

[velvet sinew]

Blaze wizard was easier than blaster due to sf rates, but blaze wizard doesnt aggro mobs like blaster aft shock and wind archer triffling wind

A month for reaching sf144

[drowsy timber]

sounds right

i tried also from a fresh account, one month sf144

[velvet sinew]

Another month plus for hitting sf 165++

[drowsy timber]

did u ever imagine urself maining a bw?

[velvet sinew]

That part is dependent on the boss accessories

I didnt, i just enhance my alts i use funding erel

Then i choose which one i think may be better going more

[velvet sinew]

Night walker was originally my plan but i see it is clone dependant

Both are good, bw have invinciblility iframes and dmg to hp reduction node

[drowsy timber]

how ur bw now?

[velvet sinew]

Collecting dust because i on iel, other alts farming meso and lvling some burning char from the packages

[drowsy timber]

wow

u bought the burning pack

lowkey sounds like a good deal

[velvet sinew]

Ystd,When i got time to play, i tested it in sf165 and its still good

12 bucks to speed up this game

And the package is cheaper than the newer ones

[drowsy timber]

is the pack still available?

[velvet sinew]

You can lvl easier with burning without sf gear

Yea its still in shop

[drowsy timber]

i think

no more already

today last day of jan update

[velvet sinew]

Definitely worth in case they nerf af map next like pot drop when classes balances are more important

Oh

Gg

Hope they release someting similar next time soon

[drowsy timber]

does it come with character slots?

or just the burning ticket

cuz all my class rn is 200+

but i only have 15 slots now

[velvet sinew]

It comes with 5 char slots

Burning ticket, meso boost,exp coupon, burning pendant can be used on other existing char

Only downside is the pendant looks like mu lung medal

[drowsy timber]

Ohhh god dang it

[robust root]

We need more lines for our origin . Lowest among all classes btw

[marble token]

Lowest by a long shot

1k lower than the 2nd lowest I believe

Nexon really did Blasters dirty

[copper raft]

I see , class change event means convert weapon to another class?

[copper raft]

I found that the dmg absorb is great , and the tornado is a fun skill as well

[velvet sinew]

The blaster and wind archer looks very similar with their tordano and aggro skills, and late game skills with lack of lines

I like the aftershock, it is a clone skill that blaster just needs to use to dish dmg

Or similar to theives clone

[drowsy timber]

Not fun when you cannot one shot with tornado

Imagine sucking the mobs and you die because the touch dmg is 30k

And btw, the mobs also will deal dmg to your teammates while travelling towards you

[velvet sinew]

Tordano shines in sf158 ish, depends on touch dmg for those dead mine and gateway map mobs, while aftershock is af map since the mob attacks anyway

[copper raft]

can be very hilarious when you see mobs surrounding and kill you with body contact 😂

[drowsy timber]

I can relate to this because im the victim 💀

Absolute BS

[copper raft]

wind archer's vortex sphere suck all enemies on its path as well , but somehow the character loves to sticking with the sphere so every mob will body contact when they get suck into it lol

but at least it dmg is way stronger than blaster's tornado

[robust root]

Feelsbadman

[marble token]

Convert any class equip to another class. We had one event last year

[delicate mountain]

But need pay crystal

Hope they stop making bank/collect dust classes and just improve their non Lynn erel iel bowmaster paladin classes according to the classes weakness

I never stayed so long for a rando game that long trying to buff my chars

[dense monolith]

Kmsm had a same job change event so technology is there

[signal summit]

Any changes with the update?

[autumn egret]

Ngl as blaster when doing hvh im the last few guys alive every run

[delicate mountain]

Nice cape

[weak ferry]

What’s ur ab wheel for sf158?

[olive folio]

Beast

[dense monolith]

Nice, i just all in hexa stat n got substat 10. My mdc doubled now i have to look into damage progression

[autumn egret]

I cant even hit 180m

Rip

I think its time to exalt weapon instead

Fren was suggesting me to up rocket punch in hexa first instead of hexa db/mg

Since most lines and dmg still yet to cap

[velvet sinew]

Yup same issue here with mobbing, i think universal issue with blaster is lacking lines for the skill effects caused by blaster

Anyway with this now blaster is good mobber

Post jewel and preset changes

[velvet sinew]

How we doing so far vs wind archer? They have vortex sphere like ball hurricane, triffling wind like after shock img, hurricane like gattling punch(blaster gb more like pathfinder 170 hyper)?

[signal summit]

Any changes to meta with the preset?

[velvet sinew]

Blaster still not meta, but wondering about the improvement to blaster funding req

[signal summit]

sorry, i mean with the slot expansion for ability presets

e.g. is it better to stack 6 mp/db with a hs at the end

[visual patio]

I don’t feel like our vskills need that much help if u have good base stats. I’m capping my vskills but my mp/db is not great and when vskills are down the dps really bad lol

[visual patio]

I haven’t played with any presets yet I don’t see it changing much for us except I like having more preset slot options

[marble token]

For the ppl doing manual hammer smash, the meta doesn't change. I haven't done DPS testing with the new presets yet. Right now I have it set as hammer+3x mp/dp

[robust root]

I think manually hammer smash is still the play . Hammer smash is too weak a skill . The buff preset is pretty good . We can group all the 2 min CD buffs and our v1 and v4 tgt

[dense monolith]

Tried preset n went back to manual hammer again. Issue imo is hammer cd, u are like doing NRL every other cycle?

Buff preset and new mdc made me set up proper 2min buffs and pet buff presets lol

[marble token]

I'm not coordinated enough to remember to HS every 10 seconds

[delicate mountain]

Or use pet yea

Yea I add some CD to hammer smash hope it lands crit or cr

[signal summit]

Can u send? Interested to compare

[autumn egret]

245m+ mdc gloom only got me this much dmg done

not sure what direction to go for now

[dense monolith]

Did lvl1 v boost. Probably balance of origin and mastery for now but more on origin to hit lv10

[drowsy timber]

Got my blaster to 200

Mobbing is sooo much better now

[delicate mountain]

Aftershock image dmg becomes better as I near lv 220

Since blaster have less lines than wa

[delicate mountain]

Do you prioritise maxing your aft shock image or stats/other skills first

[delicate mountain]

My skill wheel. Lmk if I put some skills in wrong place

[delicate mountain]

How's your blaster HP pot gains

[dense monolith]

just play with various setups and youll see.
the core issues is hammer 5s cd, you can go through ~2 sets of bunker before its up and bob/weave are not cancellable in msm so yeah NRL combo is impossible

[autumn egret]

hexa skill lv2 -> v1 -> v4 -> v2/3 -> go back hexa skill

i think best to up v skill lv1 each first since its +11% FD huge boost

see my rocket punch lv1, the rest still lv0

[delicate mountain]

Thx, yea this boost is really helpful

[velvet sinew]

@drowsy timber hows blaster hp pot gain

[drowsy timber]

I got it to 5th job

Pot gain not possible unless u one shotted with your clones

And shotgun punch

Ur skill wheel can only put shotgun punch

If you want pot gain blater is not the class

U have to find classes with lifesteal or magic guard

My meso farmer are phantom da

Pot positive

[delicate mountain]

Looks like I will put kerning radiant ring in blaster as bw and wa still hits more lines

[autumn egret]

eh how come origin 8k lines

@dense monolith wut nani!?

[dense monolith]

The secret blaster buff

Idk how u got it tho lol mayb system is bugged

[autumn egret]

[robust root]

I think you got sacro

[autumn egret]

it doubles line?

[robust root]

Yea

It’s basically like a shadow partner

U look at the min lines , its basically from sacro

[dense monolith]

it shows im never the sancro target

[autumn egret]

Hit a new milestone just went past 250m+

Dmg still feels kind of iffy

[dense monolith]

our v skills are fine most of the time, its our hexa mastery n origin that needs to be upgraded

and the frag cost is

[visual patio]

Rough out here. I dropped the hammer smash hyper skill and took the 20% fd for BB shockwave

Hammer smash kinda garbo for what it’s worth idk if it’s better or not

[velvet sinew]

Hammer smash dmg alr meh at 5th job

[dense monolith]

Curious since origin cant be capped that easily, do you guys run V2-origin for the V2 FD buff to maximize dmg? What's yall burst rotation nowadays

[robust root]

If there is shade in your bossing party, it’s always better to cast origin first before your v2-v3 burst . If no shade , then u can do v2-v3 before origin to get the FD buff

[autumn egret]

im doing v3 > v2 > origin regardless of situations at the start. After that i just wait for v1 for the 2nd use

[robust root]

With shade split , some of your v1 procs from origin won’t be able to coincide with the 10 secs shade split

Coz v3 and v2 takes about 6 secs

[quartz vale]

Hi guys, I just started the game not long ago and am planning to main blaster. Currently level 201, and I just want to ask what nodes I should aim for?

[signal summit]

Welcome! Node slots are excessive nowadays so eventually u will have max boost nodes for everything, but early on i would focus on bunker blast, magnum punch, double blast

[quartz vale]

Thank you!

[sharp crag]

would anyone mind sharing bossing and mobbing skill wheels?
and if possible, skills rotation/pressing order for bossing

[dense monolith]

just wanna ask are we somewhat gimped in clucid runs due to the minigame mechs? Everything is fine for p1 then dps just drops in p2

[marble token]

You need to keep your stacks up. When you're dodging dragon, charge, or lasers, throw in a hammer smash or dash to keep the charge up. When you come out of mini game, most of the time you should have your gattling punch up, use that and it will give you full stacks

[dense monolith]

Yeah im doing that. Our burst need like ~20-25s to finish all V1V4 charges, sometimes minigame comes like 10s after. Is that like bad luck/trumpet person fault?

Also since we really want V1V4 up for 2nd origin and 2nd V burst is waiting for clucid mechs to finish on P2, it means things arent really synced for us when 2nd origin is up, how do you go abt tt?

[autumn egret]

just asking for stigmata whats good?

[robust root]

are u guys pressing your V1 and V4 manually ?

[dense monolith]

yeah manual on buff sequence

[robust root]

i almost always cast my V1 V4 after the minigame

[dense monolith]

so like P1 full buff + origin, clear P1

P2 starts, ~2mins later because of minigame etc. you dont buff up on cd

the delay leads to you not having V1V4 buffs for 2nd origin

[robust root]

hmm its a little different for my team. I cast my origin in P2

[dense monolith]

not sure, im just out of sync when 2nd origin is rdy

for others where V skills are just atk skills they are fine, but our V skills buff origin dmg as well
