It's the long awaited Gunner Update! Everyone is flipping their tables! The guns look cool! The new armor looks cool! The new armor will generally confuse everyone! No one can quite honestly tell them apart from their counterparts! The updates will make the guns even more powerful!
But then, hark! Flaws arise, and then the people get disappointed. Blitz becomes overpowered? Polaris has been nerfed to the GROUND, it's so unusable? Switching becomes too hard to even perform, s-somehow! */cough* The populace will criticize, strangely more-so than praise. Christmas cometh, and all is forgotten.

And then. Silence. Listen! The storm rises. First a murmur. Then, an anger. A cry, a plea, a shout toward the abyss. All want one thing. A means to an end, a way to save the very face of Cradle. They want...

...bombs.

eehhh...

I don't see a lot of flaws. Alchemer switching was never a strategy intended to be used, it was technically cheating. I still find Blitz the same, you can still miss, you just have a little more time to get away, but you can still get punished if you miss. The polaris nerf was actually not a nerf, it was a buff to the PvE side of things.

Only thing I think of a flaw is that the new gunner armors have complicated names.

Alchemer switching is legit.

Alchemer switching is legit. Just break it into components:

1) Is switching your weapon cheating?
2) Is shielding cheating?
3) is switching weapons while shielding cheating?
4) is shield cnancelling cheating?
5) Is weapon binding cheating?

Since the answer to these questions is obviously "no", then alchemer switching is perfectly legit.

The ONLY potential point that is questionable is shield cancelling, but thats been part of the game since forever.

You would have to find a post where a GM SPECIFICALLY states that shield cancelling is a bug. Additionally, you would have to remove the ability to quickly change weapons for ALL weapons, not just alchemers.

Basically, people who whine about alchemer switcing don't know enough about the game. Once you've played enough, youll realize that:

-switching between FF/GF,
-Switching between FF and BTB,
-switching between FF/Valiance,
-switching between Acheron and itself
-you get the point

When using a shield to eliminate cooldown from ANY attack is, essentially, alchemer switching

OOO already knows how the game works since they made it (herp de derp), so calling out a single tactic that is based off of a more generally used tactic is simply ignorance with respect to the game. And with ignorance comes ensurance that gunners who took the time to learn the alchemer switching technique will always be able to use it.
