So uh blunderbuss sucks now

thanks alot ags for a change no one asked for. Put refreshing move back and fix it instead of just removing it from the weapon. What a joke. RIP BLUNDER

It was deemed too strong, for which I agree.

blunderbuss is plenty strong without refreshing move. It still deletes people in opr if you play it right. I too am annoyed that refreshing move got taken off especially since I grinded for Pirates piece, got it then the next day they annonced they were changing it. That truely blows imo, but blunderbuss doesnt suck. you just need to manage your cd’s better now.

If your entire enjoyment of a weapon was predicated on one perk that was deemed OP then maybe you’re using the wrong weapon.

Yeah Im sure refreshing was the reason it is op. Its not like I just got oneshotted 3 times in a row by a SnS+BB player after he finally landed a leaping strike.

timmay i know you of all people arent complaining cause BB got ref move removed, you know it was too strong and its not needed for 1 shot spartan build

If your shield has Refreshing Move, it still works LOL

But most people running Round Shield to stay Light and get another Enchanted, Keenly Empowered, and Refreshing. Lol…

It’s not intended, it will be fixed, and man did the Devs do it right when they named the new PvP currency “Salt”. :rofl:

A lot of the cooldowns a pretty long compared to other weapons. I only use it in PvE and I am half way tempted to just run one ability with it outside of slotting mortar for invasions.

your right the cds are a bit long but atm you have to build around that with refreshing perks on your gear and if you want refreshing move a kite shield will do the same thing as what it used to do in BB. pve I dont have much input for you as I dont use it i for dungeons as there are better options for all dungeons. Maybe they could give it a pve buff to mak the dps more inline with other thrust options for pve.

The cooldowns on BB are not that long considering that it’s a ranged weapon and you get 2 auto attacks without having to reload as well.

Musket cooldowns are just as long and you have to stand there like a dingus loading them.

When I’m running BB/GA I don’t feel like I’m ever short of blunder skills. I’d only run out of uptime on it if I were to use ONLY the blunderbuss and not use my secondary weapon ever.
There’s nothing in the game other than some janky spear combos that can have 100% uptime on skills and never have to switch to secondary.

but the autos hit like a wet noodle…

If you aim they all hit a lot more consistently and I get almost constant crits with BB.
Toss on empower on crit and they’re not bad.

Usually in the 4-500 damage per hit x however many shots hit just in my messing around build. I haven’t even worked on minmaxing it or using it with the light armor bonus. That’s not terrible damage and it’s ranged and both shots can be rapidly unloaded on someone.

I run refreshing and it doesn’t help that much. Blast Shot rend is only worth using with refreshing move. My expedition setup literally only has two skill in it. Instead of getting a third skill I just take an extra passive. I do slot Mortar for Invasions in order to compete with bows, but I don’t use it for general PvE.

Blunderbuss is my main PvE weapon I use it extensively.
