PSA about Blaster
There's a method of nearly tripling your Shotgun Punch attack speed in 4th job. I've seen a good amount of people who don't know that this is a thing, so I'd like to explain here.
Shotgun Punch can combo into both Weaving and Ducking. Weaving and Ducking can both be canceled by a jump. So considering this, could somebody theoretically combo Shotgun Punch into Weaving/Ducking, then cancel Weaving/Ducking with a jump into Shotgun Punch? Yeah actually, you can, and the result is ridiculous.
This is what the procedure looks like:
Shotgun Punch -> Jump -> Weaving/Ducking

Try it out yourself. Note that this does trigger Combo Training II, so you can maintain a full 10 stack while dealing obscene DPM.

@liftconcept:
Is is meant to be made like that. This is why Blaster is one of top 5 DPMs.
People get bored because they have no idea how the skills work.
People are too used to one skill spamming pattern. They only spam one skill over and over, not combining other skills.
I never thought I would say this but it really hurts my fingers.
@ecyz:
insane!
but too technical for me. i have trouble just telecasting as a bam
@littletlk: No, but you can use Ducking instead of Weaving to move forward and close the gap.
@domingo: The only other one I've seen is way more complicated:ÂÂ ÂÂ

Yo there is other link skill possibilities and i still cant find the best one for bossing ;-; this is harder than i thought.
that looks really cool, but is there a way to do it and stand in place?
@liftconcept: Hasn't been patched in KMS yet. https://youtu.be/JVggIkKbAb0?t=470
At most Nexon will probably balance Blaster's damage around this combo. Similar to how Night Walker's damage got nerfed because of their jump-attacking, rather than jump-attacking being removed entirely. I'd expect the same thing to happen to Blasters in future.

Really cool stuff.
@liftconcept: It's not patched in KMS.
This is going to get patched.
