Hey guys,
here is something neat i discovered. Maybe you already know it. There is a melee keybind in the options at the bottom of the list which is unbound by default i believe, bind it to whatever you like (i dont recommend left click, see below paragraph). bind your plasma caster to 1 for example. select your claws. use your new melee keybind then immediately press 1 to cancel into plasma caster. you will interrupt the combo stun and you can keep moving and even complete a wristblade combo while on the move. Buttons could probably be swapped on a controller to make it work too.
This is how combos should have always been IMO. fluid and being able to hit multiple huddled targets in one combo. The combo animation stun feels dated, clunky and the 3rd slash can be a pain to land. With this you can do 1 - 2 cancel -move forward 3 cancel (cancel the wind down on the 3rd hit at all times). Who knows maybe you will scare some ft who like to jump back and shoot while you whiffed your combo.
it is only using in game options and key binds no out of game stuff. enjoy!
reason not to rebind melee to left click:
"ya you will melee with left click by default. but there is a seperate melee button near the bottom of the list in the bindings which will use your claws and leave your claws out if you have plasma selected (so selecting your claws at the same time as performing a melee hit). if you have another melee weapon it will just attack with that weapon.
so if you have plasma and you just left click you will melee but plasma stays selected.
if you use the melee bind in the options with plasma selected it will melee but leave claws selected after.
thats why the cancel works because you can cancel the melee animation by selecting plasma again as soon as the hit lands and it cuts the melee animation short and selects your plasma.
for this reason i would not actually rebind that to left click as then everytime you melee with plasma selected it will select your wristblades, play with it and you will see what i mean. so use E or any other key as an alternate melee for this cancel trick and leave normal left click alone. I am going to edit the thread with this."
even if you are doing straight wristblade combos i would recommend the 3rd hit to always be done this way to get out of the animation lock at the end.
