Petition: Alternate Weapon/Magic Cancels

I'm pretty sure this is correct. It's also what I rely on to ensure I get consistent magic cancels during b1 and b2. Essentially if you get a wc, there are occasions where scar will stop attacking after applying a cancel. What I normally do during b1 and b2 is not touch scar after a wc and let it walk around, then once wc goes off I immediately attack it. I have always managed to immediately get a mc right after this and it's consistent magic cancels all the way as the next wc normally happens a good 20s into the mc meaning by the time mc is off, wc will be on cd.

Doesn't work in 3rd body when the boss will keep attacking u no matter what, but if you've done b1 and b2 right you should have plenty of time for b3 anyway.

EDIT: Post below just RIP'd this strat.

 

I have just checked the code and that might seems to be the case.
Though, I will dig more on it to ensure that is the problem. If it is, it will be fixed in next upcoming patch~

 

Honestly I feel what also needs to happen is to extent the cd's on mc/wc so it doesn't get spammed non-stop. Right now there's a c.10s window between when a cancel ends and the start of the next cancel which is far too short when compared to zak/HT.

 

It's easiest to observe on the Preheads in Horntail. I always grumble when I see the prehead cast magic cancel when weapon cancel is up as it's a lot more in your face about it. It let's you know you're about to lose significant time.
EDIT:
Just watched a quality Selquin HT run on Youtube. I marked all the cancels and if they went through:
prehead 1:
m can :15 (happened)
w can 1:46 (happened)
m can 1:53
w can 4:13 (happened)
m can 4:57
m can 6:14 (happened)
w can 6:19
m can 7:43 (happened)

prehead 2:
w can 12:11 (happened)
m can 13:15 (happened)
w can 13:38
w can 15:05 (happened)
m can 17:30 (happened)
w can 18:58 (happened)
m can 19:16
w can 20:43 (happened)

I didn't catch any deathloops of cancels, but it came close at a couple points.

 

If any change is made, please make sure that the total time spent in cancels doesn't change!
