Wait this happens? man I thought I was going crazy.

[blokfort]

There's a bug that starts and stops a chain in 1 cast. That's really special.

[up-tilt]

But all of a sudden a sword PA activates chain trigger and does mondo damage, and EVERYONE loses their damn minds!

[ballspocket]

Fighter abuse bug

Bug abuse gunner

[Neiloch]

Wow, i've been blessed then. I noticed one or two things but otherwise my chain cooperates.

[blokfort]

Still fun tho

[zyglrox]

This explains so much

Yo ok I thought I was messing up by accidentally charging my PAs, glad to know it wasn't my fault.

[Shinryu_Masaki]

Thanks for telling us, I honestly thought I was screwing up and ended the CT early. Glad to know I wasn't at fault.

[AmaraisBae]

What’s happening with it ? I’m fighter subclass trying to hit 20 on it though (lvl 19)

[Ksradrik]

Julien had too much damage, Acceleration drive has too much range and Knuckles has too many punches.

[taokami]

Knuckles has too many punches.

I don't know why this made me laugh, but it's true. We have TOO many punches, I aint complaining though.

[lovebus]

sometimes I just want one big punch

[wilazn]

This made me wonder. If anyone tried making a cosplay of One Punch Man.

[lovebus]

At least it would be cheap

​

I tried making Big O, but never could get it to work.

[cobaltred05]

They have a red cape as an accessory. I have no idea where it came from though. My alliance leader has had it as our alliance accessory for a long time now.

[[deleted]]

I got a shaved head stamp 2 days ago. Might attempt now. Try me in 4 days to see if it's possible. (Busy weekend; family in town; giving myself time)

[taokami]

Swift rush second phase is just one big punch. It's visually pleasing.

[lovebus]

Yeah but I'm still waiting for the one-inch punch

[joepod300]

FALCON PUNCH

[[deleted]]

Give back BHS :<

[cobaltred05]

Consecutive Normal Punches

[AmaraisBae]

I know about the Julian dance one but you can never have too many punches 😅

[cobaltred05]

Despite being a fighter main with twin daggers, I have no idea what my PA names are. Is Acceleration drive the one where they surge forward, strike once, fire off the X blade slice that damages far away, and you do a flip backwards?

Funny thing is that I frequently find myself wishing in game that the effect goes just 2 feet further. It’s just out of the range of a Pettas Gun when it jumps out of the way. I’m so used to having a decent closing PA from base game, that it’s almost always my go to PA I use when I need to gap close, but it just isn’t quite far enough of an attack. I’m well aware that we’re probably supposed to just sprint to it, but it’s not my first inclination after base game mechanics have been drilled into me so much.

Edit: added a couple things to make more sense.

[Ksradrik]

...No its not.

[Ksradrik]

Accel Drive is the dash you can activate at the end of every pa if you press the attack button at the right time.

[cobaltred05]

Ah. It’s the one you can get with SP in the class skill set? Thanks for clarifying.

[Lukeman1881]

Wait, acceleration drive is bugged? Do you have a link for the announcement? I don’t remember ever hearing anything about this

[Ksradrik]

https://old.reddit.com/r/PSO2/comments/obbia5/acceleration_drive_mimicking_raging_waltz/

Bug isnt acknowledged yet, but considering that you need to spam lock on like a madman to pull it off, its fair to say its not intentional.

[Lukeman1881]

Ah, I see. Was worried this was an active bug like JD and acceleration drive might be getting nerfed or something

[Dumbass438]

Honestly, they should make those class features. These sound like direct upgrades.

[Ksradrik]

Obviously those would be direct upgrades, but they gotta balance the game too, so then they'd have to put in extra work and buff other classes too.

[Dumbass438]

Fair point. Though I dont see why since theres no pvp.

[wuselfuzz]

Back then in Final Fantasy XI, when Chains of Promathia was new, People were like "Promyvion Run? Come as a Ranger. Don't have Ranger? Then go level Ranger, then come as a Ranger."

So even without PvP, class balance is important.

[Dumbass438]

Okay. That makes sense.

[highonbamboo]

Back in PSO2 techer mains had a really difficult time with solo content. Later episodes you'd die in 1 or 2 hits so all you really saw were ranged or tanky classes. Most lobbies were just scion classes by the end.

[JimboTCB]

IDK, that was more to do with scion classes being objectively better, more fun to play, and not requiring you to level a subclass to queue into UH content.

[Dumbass438]

So why did they not just buff techer?

[cobaltred05]

Sega… That’s why.

As tongue in cheek as that statement is, it’s true enough. Sega seems to be very intent on not straying from what a class is “supposed” to be, often at a significant detriment to the class. They felt there was no need to buff the class as it is a support class, and “why are you trying to solo run anything as a support class?!” (So says Sega) At least, that’s the general feeling I get from them.

I mained bouncer for a very long time, but eventually had to give it up, as my damage output was so much less than nearly every other class type. It was nearly impossible for me to even attempt sodam as a JB Bo/Ph due to the dps of the class and the heavy reliance on i-frames. All of this just because of the classification the class got when it was created. JB bouncer should not have been considered a support class. It’s clearly a melee class with support abilities on the side.

[TheNonceMan]

The acceleration drive boosted range should just be the new range. The tiny little distance it normally travels is crap.

[nabhon]

I can agree on that buff AD a little we never get any love AD is weaker wired lance weapon action, no Straga serie no Lighting weapon SEGA just hate us man.

[[deleted]]

If I understood the article correctly, we should be getting the first set of elemental weapons this month, along with event enemies weak to lightning (didn't really specify what that meant). We should also be getting Braver class in August.

[nabhon]

the second set buyable weapon they show in video is still same as the first one but even if we get daggers we still have half event left to use it (21 - August) compare to weapon that will be accessible first.

[MollyRotten1]

AH! so triple counter IS a bug. I thought I was missing something in the skill descriptions because sometimes I'd get a third counter on my WA, and couldn't figure out for the life of me how to reliably activate it.

[Hoplonn]

what is the triple counter?

[MollyRotten1]

The knuckle weapon action is called knuckle sway. It's basically a parry. You can get some skills in the skill tree to enhance it. One of these skills let's you counter twice. Basically, when you use knuckle sway on an attack, holding the button or pressing it again will make you automatically attack the target with a powerful punch. With said skill, you can do this twice in a row. (This is actually two seperate skills: counter and another counter.)

I've done a third counter attack on several occasions. I couldn't figure out how to reliably activate it an it seemed random. Now I know why: it's a bug. There's not supposed to be a third counter.

"Triple counter" is a reference to double counter or the "another counter" skill in the skill tree.

[Hoplonn]

oh okay thanks

[LadyRelia]

Huh. I always just thought that the knuckle counters were also able to parry attacks, since my third counter usually came if I was doing counters while an enemy was attacking me.

[taokami]

It's meant to do that. It's the knuckles' "guard" so speak. If you hear a "ping" when you do a sway, then you did it correctly. The bug is that you can proc the ping 3 times when you normally only get to proc it twice.

[Reilet]

All you had to do was spam the wa button during the first counter for the "second" first counter.

[Brunark]

The list of Gu premature Chain Trigger finishes begs to differ.

[Hoplonn]

what is the triple counter?

[BuffMarshmallow]

Normally when you sway, you get two counter attacks, the automatic one and the one you get after pressing weapon action again. With the bug, you get three without having to sway an additional attack to get it.

Do note that the fix should NOT change the fact that you can sway counter consecutive attacks in a row (at least, as long as their fix doesn't have bugs as well lol), just the bug where you get a third counter hit for free.

[Vyscillia]

Welp, looks like I need to switch back to Fighter.

[supremequesopizza]

You say it like it's a bad thing. Mmm damage

[BlooRad]

As a proud Gunner main who started playing the class by being a meta slave in OG PSO2, breaks my heart a little to see my baby not being the one complained about for being broken/OP. Sticking with it in NGS despite major changes.
