Thoughts on Blaster
I haven't seen any recent posts discussing Blaster yet, so I was wondering what you all think about the newest warrior class?
Personally, I couldn't get past level 63. The skills were so slow and clunky that I couldn't do it. In addition, all the different linking skills just boggled my mind and I ended up dropping the class altogether. But after reviewing some of the skills more and finally finding out that you have to animation cancel to play the class properly, I'm up for giving it another shot. Boxing and explosions sounds like an awesome concept that I just couldn't execute properly.

i like it and considering some funding put into it because it is fun but i don't think i'm doing it right.
i don't use bobbing/weaving a lot simply because i don't know where to put them
as for the animation cancel, wow that hurts! def not doing them since i need my hands for work, so i don't do it also because my character just flies around (again, i don't think i'm doing it right)
i have to admit, i didn't figure out how to activate bunker blaster until well into my 140's sigh
Bumping this thread with some of my own thoughts now that I've revisited the class:
It is 100% worth checking out again if anyone decided to drop it before reaching 4th job. Until then, it's mostly spamming Magnum Punch + Double Blast + Revolving Cannon with Bunker Buster Explosion peppered on top. You might use Bobbing here and there for the extra mobility, but it really does feel repetitive. But come 4th job, oh boy are you in for a treat: With access to Shotgun Punch, you have to learn how to animation cancel with Bobbing + Jump + Shotgun Punch for the most damage. And it can get VERY ridiculous. The class's skill ceiling rises very quickly from 3rd job to 4th job; if you can animation cancel, you will definitely notice the difference in how you clear mobs.
Overall, a very strong class if you can manage the combo well, and it only gets better the more skilled you get.
P.S. Get ready to break your fingers. Aran? Meh. Demon Slayer? Nah. Kaiser? Hardly.
Blaster? Oh heck yes.
As a Blaster main I can personally say it's definitely worth continuing learning the class. I started out just as confused as you were and thought the same about the clunkiness, but come late game they have so much potential. They also do surprising amounts of damage thanks to combo link once it's fully stacked.
