Is this technique legitimate?
As a corsair, I have noticed that our mobbing is fairly lacking. Our best mobbing skills run on 15, 30, and 75 second cooldowns, and our one main mobbing skill is tremendously lacking in any significant reach despite corsairs being a ranged class. One thing that has helped to get past this is a technique that gives corsairs some rather considerable mobility while mobbing, which I have begun referring to as the "rum rocket" technique. It basically works like this:
1: Use a buff skill with little to no cast animation such as dash, quickdraw or the skill that the technique name comes from, Unwearying Rum (Whaler's Potion in GMS)
2: Use Wings. If done correctly (and it's pretty easy to do, then there should be no casting sound when using this skill. This does however also mean you will be incapable of using the skill's gliding, as this technique only applies to the vertical jump of the skill.
3: At any point during the use of wings, you are now able to use any skill you are normally able to jump-cast, such as recoil shot and ELE (which are the primary two skills of interest for this technique)
Since Whaler's Potion has no cast animation, it is able to be used during any other skill including ELE, which effectively allows you to chain other skills into this technique as well. It honestly seems like either Nexon is unaware of this technique, or possibly counts it as a feature considering its general implementation in the use of the 5th job skill, Bullet Shindig (the exact same type of silent-cast of wings seems to be used intentionally during this skill) I posted about this in the bug report forum a while back but never actually seemed to get a response and it is still present in the game. Is this a bug or is it intended?
*Edit*
Clarification added for what a "silent cast" of wings is.
