As a rocket league player, I love the depth of mechanical skill that comes with blink compared to the other movement abilities. Considering that you are teleporting, you gotta think quick.
That's exactly why I love it. Blink offers a challenge and a higher ask to your quick response time than any other movement option. And that challenge is what gives me enjoyment of the game.
Using Blink hunter in GMs is so much fun
As a blink main when you said Bungie hates warlocks, I felt that.
Sad but true...
I've really been enjoying blink hunter even though the blink itself feels like I'm wearing size 3 kid's shoes compared to Astrocyte. While there is no way to get the same handling bonus coming out of a blink, or the same travel distance, the hunter kit has so much freaking utility. Gemini Jesters allow you to yoink radars and be aggressive from crazy angles, Foetracer gives you wallhacks after shooting someone and allows you to position your blinks accordingly, and Frostees gives you passive ability cooldown which stacks with Spark of Focus to get your dodge back faster (making it such that you don't have to run 100 mobility) and gives you a sprint speed bonus after you dodge. Dragon's Shadow is my top pick for aggressive sniping since you can get to a lane faster than most, get a pick, dodge back behind cover, and then rechallenge with max handling on all of your weapons. Lucky Raspberry has been tons of fun in 6s because of the improved chaining and grenade regen. But one of the most broken combinations is Radiant Dance Machines alongside the Flow State aspect which allows you to repeatedly dodge on top of a Witherhoard or a Vortex Nova Bomb without dying. Needless to say, I'm loving Blinkter and I'm excited to keep using it.
Hey panky! I'm happy to hear you have been enjoying blink hunter! I have been loving it too, there are obvious downsides that you mentioned going from blinklock to hunter but there are so many great parts as you said as well. I'm just happy to have blink somewhere new and not have to have astro on 24/7 anymore! Thanks for all the exotic recommendations too I will have to check them all out.
@@RogerBlinks Absolutely! I feel like there is so much to discover, but all of the fundamentals of Blink, like you said in your video, are still there. I told a friend of mine yesterday that there are going to be a lot of people trying out blink this season, but the skill gap remains. Blink in D2 has never been an instant win button; it's still one of the hardest things to master. In fact.... if you want to combine two of the hardest components in D2 combine blink with Flux grenades (lowest aim assist grenade that one shots when direct hit). I irritated the shit out of my teammate last night in a private match when we were testing stuff out lol. I'm happy that we get some variety too! Keep up the great content brother!
@@CrankyPanky I'll give em a try soon. And I'll be here with a new video (or 2) every day!
I just started playing again and I've been running arc with blink, foetracer, nameless midnight, and Riskrunner 😂😂
Melting a group of 4 people shooting at you just because one of them is shooting you with an arc weapon is just unbelievable fun
Goddamn I havnt watched for a while since vacation but your videos have a lot higher quality now and it shows as your growing massively growing in subs, congrats man!
Well I'm happy to see you back. And thank you very much for saying that, I do my best to make everything to the highest quality I can!
Bro ty for these last two vids they really help me out a lot
I'm happy to hear it! You were talking about needing help controlling your blink so I wanted to put something together to help you and any other new blink hunters!
@@RogerBlinks yessir and I really liked how you explained the angle on how to do a horizontal blink instead of a vertical blink
@@A_Spiffy I've had some good practice over the months!
@@RogerBlinks do you like hunter or warlock better?
@@A_Spiffy Well it is very early on but I think warlock will always have my heart!
Don't forget tapping jump vs holding makes you jump higher or lower depending on How you jump so if your going with a horizontal blink tap jump just barely
Yep that's true.
Great video. I played blink hunter exclusively all through my time in d1 and just started playing d2 a couple weeks ago. Gonna check your other stuff. Gonna join ya discord too
Good luck with your D2 blink journey and I hope my content can help you out!
Nice video and have a good day
Thank you!
They should make blight ranger the blink exotic for hunter
I'd be down for that but I don't know if they will make a blink exotic for hunter. If they were going to it would have made the most sense to launch it with arc 3.0.
@@RogerBlinks Not necessarily. They often wait to release class specific exotics to boost its relevancy in a new meta. Ie Releasing Gyrfalcons during Arc 3.0.
Great videos. How does the revamped Blink compare to astrocyte blink and ophidian blink timewise for weapon readiness out of blink? Would be interested in a direct comparison.
Generally speaking, from years of experience, even with the verse, there is roughly a .75sec amount of time when you exit blink and your weapon is ready to use. It can be challenging to close the distance too as many people back up or jump up and you’re left disoriented. In order to actually get a blink shotgun, you have to be close to them and blink behind them. Along with that, I’m fairly certain blinking also has a hidden negative damage falloff as I’ve seen with blink shotgunning, my shotguns only do 75-80% of their original damage while blinking vs if I slide or unless I’m 1 foot away from them
I will look into testing all that out and see about putting a video together!
@@ForkOperator I’ve felt this, shotguns feel like they’re firing blanks.
I feel weapon ready speed was faster with verse before but currently, without verse I can’t feel much difference in regards to weapon ready speed especially when running with ophidians. Could be wrong of course.
I'd love to see some testing on this! Warlock (and hunter) both have great pvp exotics, and it would be lovely to be able to use some things other than astro
@@RogerBlinks Yeah so from my experience with blink, from both D1 and D2, as well as both Dishonoreds, I find that currently blink has a few issues still unaddressed.
1: The slide cancel. That bug has been in the game for 5 years and it blows my mind that Bungie has ignored it this long
2: Weapon handling out of blink. I understand Bungie doesn't want blink shotgunning back, as that is OP. However, I've noticed that coming out of blink in close quarter combat, I am virtually incapable for roughly .5/.75secs of doing any damage with any form of a weapon, regardless if it's a shotgun or the handling level on the weapon. I would understand if they made a hidden value for shotguns specifically so you can't just pop up and shoot, but for other weapons it's insane trying to blink behind, not able to shoot for a period of time and then get killed
3: Hidden blink weapon debuff. The amount of times I've come out of blink, started sliding to someone and doing damage and, mostly with a shotgun, same distance with more range/impact, my weapon would only do half as much to a 75% damage is baffling. I find I use my melee more than my own weapons which is definitely annoying.
4: Speed. If you compare the speed of blink from year 1 destiny to post-year 1 and now in D2, you'll notice it's a lot slower. The input when you close your hand, you are only then traveling to your destination and in a linear motion. With D1Y1, the second you closed your hand (like in dishonored), you were already at the position you were meant to be. The animation for the blink was a lot faster, reducing the time to hit your invisible hitbox
It would be nice if Bungie addressed these issues and polished up on them, but who knows. If they reworked some of it with 3.0ARC, maybe there's still some hope left. Do some testing and I'll be vigilant to see if you make a video about this
Whats the bottom to do this on pc i cant do it
Thank you bro
Happy to help my man!
Underrated channel
Maybe one day the people will know of me, but for now I am happy blinking for those of you already here!
I sure hope one day people will know of you! Just keep putting out the great content!
@@FoundHarpy438 Will do!
Also, thoughts and feelings on transversive steps instead of astrocyte verse?
Astrocyte is the only thing that is going to actually increase the distance of a blink. Not to mention it gives you max handling when exiting a blink, you keep your radar through a blink, and you can blink more often. When you are doing something like blink shotgunning astrocyte in my opinions is always going to be the best and most effective choice. However you can find success with T-steps and if they feel better to you then by all means use them!
They should have made blight ranger an exotic that improves blink hunter
Great video
Thanks!
How do you blink three times? Do you run for a short bit of time? I only have two in my experience
Astrocyte will give you a third blink without needing the cooldown to fully reset. If you don't have that however then you will have to wait a bit longer.
I’ve played hunters and titans in both d1 and d2 for over 9 years and trying to jump up on a warlock it’s a nightmare especially in campaigns like WQ and LF it’s all up up up 😂🤣😂
Hey I was wondering, do stompees affect blink at all? I tried them and it feels like you pop out of blink a little faster but it might just be a placebo affect
Movement speed does not effect blink distance. The only way in the game to increase the distance of your blinks is to use astrocyte verse. But yes you will definitely feel like your blinks are going farther when you are super speedy!
Would like to see a video about why you think Bungie doesn't care about Warlocks. Bc i have to agree. I have many reasons but you'll have the Hunter brigade swear they are the best even though hardly anyone uses them in PVP.
Also if you watched the Lightfall reveal its obvious Warlocks are an afterthought. I mean their super is just nova bomb but green instead. Meanwhile they took the time to create new supers for both Titan & Hunter. They even admitted that strand was only going to be for Hunters.
Yeah I mean it's just super obvious that bungie plays favorites for hunters and then second comes titan and warlock is just the forgotten child. We sat here for years with blink and they never mentioned it a single time and then suddenly they wanna give it to hunters an we get a slew of bug fixes and buffs. Like ok be more obvious that warlocks don't matter to you.
@@RogerBlinks that's facts great content I'm subscribing
@@djkoz78 Thank you, it's much appreciated!
A few corrections
Titan's strand ult is just another fist ult, like stasis and arc. So don't claim it's the same for them
And it's not that hunters were only going to have _strand_ it's that they were only going to have _grapple_
And Warlocks don't seem very afterthought, they have various mechanics all revolving around the threadlings and how you use them
I'm not saying you're wrong, just some thoughts
Watching this during lightfall confused me lol, it's a mantle, not a grapple
Same thing
Ive seen someone double blink, like blink and instant blink again without waiting the 1 or 2 seconds. Any clue how to do it?
Well with astrocyte verse there is a lower amount of time needed to wait between blinks. So maybe you saw an astrocyte warlock. Either that or it was a visual bug because that can happen sometimes.
@@RogerBlinks Might have been a visual bug since I saw a hunter do it, thanks for the reply.
@@Kai-rc6zi Of course!
Not gonna lie buddy I really wanna dare to get triple 100 stats for resilience, recovery, and mobility though I think that’s the hardest thing to do
If you can manage to pull it off then go for it! If I could get my stats to triple 100's then I would.
Ahh i miss d1 blink strike
Im gonna try out blink with Gemini jesters
I have heard that it's a great combo and something I am looking forward to trying myself!
Well… why would they rework Blink if they knew it was coming in Arc 3.0? They need to test it on Hunters anyways before making changes. Nice video though, as a Blink user since early 2015 I enjoyed it. ;)
hah found it! ignore my comment on your more recent video
lmao I actually answered that comment earlier today with a link to this video!
Is this worth using in pve?
I personally don't enjoy blink in PvE but I know of several people who like to challenge themselves and see how well they can do in things like raids and dungeons on blink. So if it's something you wanna try then go for it!
There are only 2 exotic to use with hunter, stompee, wormhusk. Don’t underestimate stompee with blink they will let you have increase slide speed. This in combination with blink speed makes you disappear from rader. “Blink before on radar, exstent slide do get off angle” this will also let you keep you’re blink momenten. While other no movement exotic will push you back to the mobility state strafe speed you have. What between 5/8 mobility is slower then you need to be.
That's reductive. Gemini Jesters do exactly this with just a dodge, but PROPERLY disable radars, Oathkeepers with a good bow lets you basically become a walking two-shot turret with built-in prefiring, Frostees are god tier for ability Regen and proccing anything else you have on, when Classy Restoration was a thing my Frostee5 recharged my dodge so fast I literally never died the entire time I used them unless it was a sniper.
What about dragons shadow??
You can't tell when you are or aren't pulsing on a radar, it lies to you.
Who here after prism
i use blink in pve. yeah i hate life
69 Mobility. Nice
Nice
comment
😘
Just so everyone knows you go further with stompees
The only thing in the game that extends your blink distance is astrocyte. Mobility has no effect on your blink distance.
Lmao at Bungo making blink easier to use because it was given to Hunters
