Feedback about changes to Gunner Burst Fire

Yes, BV does double Pve dmg now, but I don't care too much because of its long cd duration.

So lets look at BF since AB is dead for a long time.
According to the translated patch note, the cast speed of burst fire has now increased by 20%.
https://sites.google.com/site/yoshasstuff/class-change-13

What I have tested for my gunner (with around 290~300ms of ping), is that it takes me 6.5 secs to finish my BF with full will power.
Noted that I have already used Razer Synapse for BF Marco.

I have checked many outdated videos on youtube but the duration to deliver BF is normally around or even below 5.0 secs.




Since these videos are made before the patch, I assume BF now takes less than 5 secs.

So, my conclusion of gunner changes is that its bad for players with high ping cuz this class now is more ping dependent (like archer?)

Now I am looking for a solution to improve my BF speed (any marco could help o>_<o)?

    I think cast speed refers to the short animation before you start shooting rather than your burst fire speed.

    Using macros i guess its against ToS. I feel the skill starting animation faster and that's ok. In my case, i've keybinded BF to 2 keys in order to mash them faster. My good ping is horrible too, 220ms at best days.

    It refers to the wind up before you start firing. That got reduced.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I forgot mentioning that my test included the cast time as totally duration of BF (Q_Q).

    I use the Razer Synapse with my Deathadder mouse, so when I pressed a key (5) on my mouse, it spams the burst fire with an interval of certain ms to help me save my left fingers. You can find similar examples in the second and the third video that I posted above. Somehow my marco doesn't work well for the burst rate though.

    You need to include movement keys in the macro for it to work.

    I have tried spam A and D between each burst fire key, and my burst fire seems to shoot a bit quicker.

    Here is my setting of marco, and noted that 4 is the shortcut of burst fire:

    Anything to improve this setting?

    If you can shoot all will power thru in less than 6 seconds, there's nothing to improve.
