    Is there a reason why charged skills aren't allowed to start charging in mid air? i.e. while jumping. Big Bang, Monster Magnet, Corkscrew Blow (CSB), and Piercing Arrow are all skills that can be used while in mid-air, so it makes no sense to me why it can't start the charge in mid air.

    I can't speak for mages, warriors, and marksmen, but as a buccaneer I find that I often try to use it uncharged and a knock-back or jump prevents me from using the skill. It's a small thing change that would probably require little effort from developers with a meaningful QoL benefit.

    I'd love to get input from mages, warriors, marksmen, and other buccs.

    Charging Monster Magnet mid-air would be a pretty good QoL improvement! Especially when you're dropping down from HT heads to do some wyvern control. It makes sense that you would be able to because you can start also start charging while being in the ground and you jump off a platform, it continues charging up mid-air.

    I can't think of any specific use for BigBang to be chargeable mid air but it wouldn't hurt to be able to

    Mid-air rushing for warriors would be nice.

    You can go one-step more and ask: Why can't every skill be used while in mid-air

    This is for skills that can already be used in the air but just can't start charging in the air.

    Wouldnt midair csb allow you to effectively have stance if you react in time? I forget if our pushback disables the rush forward

    Are you saying like if we get knocked back to the right, you csb to the left and get back in position? If it is, you would probably csb into the body of whatever you're hitting and take touch damage (or if you're at the edge of a platform, you would deal the small damage and not move forward), and csb has a 630ms cast time so you would lose more by csb'ing after every KB than you would gain.

    The equivalent would be asking shads if they use Assaulter to reposition every time they get knockedback on a flat map.

    Bump. Is it possible to have some feedback from staff whether or not this is possible or why we shouldn't have this?

    I don't think we're likely to hear from staff about suggestions, with my random guess being because of something to do with High School Economics.

    The best we can hope for are special colored names in the "Users Who Have Read This Thread"

    I looked this up and mid-air charging is and was possible in GMS. Also here's a brawler in GMS Scania jump charging multiple times around 1:28



    So big yes from me

    Am I stupid or does this brawler not actually start charging in mid-air? They're just jumping after the charge has already started, which is also possible in Legends if my memory serves me right

    You're correct, this is exactly how it is in legends since they changed that

    regardless, it'd be a nice QoL change if it were possible with small niche usage

    thats how the skill works as of now in legends tho they didnt use the jump cast around 1:28. They started using it from 1:52 to 1:54, see when they channeled the skill from the ground, jumped, then released the skill and they moved on to the left platform

    what is being proposed is that when ur already in mid air u can channel the skill
