yessir!!

This is actually so game changing tbh

Please please make a full guide video on keybindings, combos, etc. Just started blaster with some friends

So im just trying blaster for the first time. it seems that when i hold down magnum punch the assigned key switches between magnum punch and double blast...all videos i watch dont seem to mention that..? also is it better to use jump key to cancel rather than having action custumization to press the key again to cancel?

After some testing on my end, I’ve just decided I’m going to stay with the original macros. I don’t know what’s going on under the hood, but I swear something’s off. When I swapped the macro keys for the regular MP and DB, the timing was completely different and really wonky, especially with linking MP and DB. It’s weird because I distinctly remember that this wasn’t the case before(although you’d always do macros anyway). Now it does and I’m pretty sure there’s unintentional involved. I’d love to hear if this is happening for anyone else. For the macro mentioned in the video, I’ve found it works a lot better. My hands are just too used to the rhythm of four-key NRL to change off. My hand’s will survive, I’m sure. As long as it works for people who want to use it, I’m happy. This should be huge for mains more than people who use it as a bossing mule like me, assuming they can make the shift. I’d imagine you’d still have to key MP somewhere for the optimal BB uses during Cannon Overdrive, but that’s definitely not an issue.

I've heard that using magnum / double without it being slotted into an in-game macro causes the timing to be tight for some reason in the blaster discord, but using the macros will fix it (you don't need revolving to be added to the macro so just magnum in 1 macro, double in another). It definitely has something to do with the way in-game macros are queued up, because some other classes also benefit from slotting a single skill into a macro e.g. cadena's maelstrom comes out faster when using a macro with maelstrom vs maelstrom alone! As for 4-key vs 3-key, definitely stick with what you're more comfortable with! At the end of the day, they're both the same so honestly glad that maple is giving people the options to use either the new 3-key macro setup or stick with the old 4-key macro setup. For reference, I'm still getting used to the 3-key setup after a few hours and weekly bosses and have a ghost key where my double blast used to be in case i lose my rhythm or fall back to old habits 😅 WRT bunkers + overdrive, SMAG (the combo used to get the most bunkers out) actually works with the new macro as well without the need to have a separate key for magnum so we're good :) holding down the magnum + double macro after releasing hammer will still cancel hammer with magnum, and then you can release bob/weave to cancel back into NRL. If you take too long to cancel, double blast will come out but the timing is pretty lenient there

@@HeapBoi Good to know it isn’t just with me. It seems like there’s really no reason to swap off the macros if you’re still going 4-key. It’s pretty weird to think a lot could break if the macro thing ever gets fixed for a lot of classes. I kind of figured SMAG would still work, since it’s just a matter of releasing HS in the middle of it. Was just worried about the time window since the MP -> DB link is pretty fast and a tight window could be pretty iffy when bossing. Guess not, so that’s good for people doing 3-key nrl. Also I totally knew that Maelstrom thing as a Cadena main myself. Totally did. And I will definitely not be changing my keybinds to accommodate(at least this is for something tertiary instead of main combo stuff. I duck like an idiot messing up the timing every so often so this’ll help.)

heyo thanks for this video! i was trying to find out what the difference is since savi had hit SEA recently. wanted to ask if this affects the way we attack + skate at the same time? ive been practicing blaster every now and then but i dont seem to be able to skate + attack with the new mag + double macro

@HeapBoi

skate should be unimpacted by this macro, i've been using the new mag+double macro and haven't had any issues with any existing tech

As someone whos never played blaster before besides leveling it for legion. Would you say this change has made the combo easier to learn and do more consistently? When i was leveling a blaster, i tried to learn the combo but gave up and decided it wasnt worth the headache and hand pains. But ill give blaster another go if this change made it a little easier to do and easier on the hands.

@HeapBoi

It’s a bit easier imo, though some players still struggle with it since the timing is very important. If you have a lvl 140 blaster, you should just try it out and see how you’re feeling

Honestly i wish they did more stuff like this. Love blaster as a character but honestly hitting the combo is just way to difficult for me to do reliably so ive just gone to another class.

@HeapBoi

imo it's def hard to balance making blaster accessible to as many people as possible while maintaining what makes the class unique

Is that HEAPBOI? Cool we can macro magnum and double now. Edit: I've been using the macro for magnum->double. Every like 7th time it won't do magnum punch and will only use double blast. Thinking there might be a bug or probably server lag. Plus I think there's some sort of mental rhythm connection from hearing my keyboard click 4 times per combo instead of 3. Either way i think this will be much easier for new blasters to pick up NRL combo

@HeapBoi

ahh i tried that out and noticed it as well - occurs primarily when i'm holding down NRL, but seems to happen a lot less often when it's part of the bob/weave cancel. i'll keep an eye out though and post here again if i find anything different!

Hi since bob/weave can be right click toggled to cancel it, is it possible to macro the bob/weave again after MP+DB to eliminate the need to jump cancel?

@HeapBoi

Жыл бұрын

just scoped this out and you can't bind bob/weave to an in-game macro so doesn't seem like this is a possibility

dude, i honestly cannot do this and i cant figure out why, im doing the exact same thing but i cant do it event with max combo training am i missing a tempo or a skill or something?

Hello i am trying to stasrt with blaster but i think ping is not letting me do the no reload combo and is only casting magnum punch, does anyone know how to fix it?

@HeapBoi

Жыл бұрын

comboing itself should be client-sided from my understanding, but bullet gauge is server-sided. If you're using the new macro with magnum punch + double blast, I've noticed the issue where only magnum punch gets casted is typically due to release bob/weave too early (before double blast has gone off). Try slowing down your combo and seeing if you still run into that issue. If not, then it's definitely a user error with cancelling too early

Is this Attack Speed reliant? I can't get it to work at all, I either just cancel only Magnum Punch or Bobbing/ weaving doesn't even go off at all

if you're talking about green pot, then nah you don't need it - just lvl 140 for maxed advanced charge mastery + max combo stacks + booster. are you using the 3-key or 4-key NRL? Does it work when you go at a slower tempo? If it does, then more than likely user input error

@HeapBoi

Жыл бұрын

it's very possible that you're comboing too fast and releasing bob/weave before the animation is complete. If you're able to do the combo at a slower tempo, that i'd wager that it's because of that

Even with these changes, blaster is still the hardest class 😂

Seems pretty similar to Shadower's weaving now, isn't it?

@HeapBoi

Жыл бұрын

imo shadower’s weaving is much easier to do since it’s just 2 key inputs with key presses! blaster has a mix of key press, key holds, and key releases as well as some more complex combos that you use during burst which make it more difficult
