Right now, if you use Acid Bomb and immediately drop the kit, you cancel the jump and drop straight down where you cancelled.

I’m trying to see if I can fit 4 blasts in one turret water field by going detonate->Magnetic Shield->Acid Bomb->Rocket Boots

You can only do this by dropping the kit, swapping doesn’t work.

Never tried it, but I get 5 (rare: 6) blasts off and I use Rifle instead of P/S.

Order of splosions (not placements):
1. Detonate Healing Turret
2. Rumble
3. Thumper Turret Overcharge
4. Thumper Turret Detonate
5. Big Ole Bomb (placed first)
6. Rocket Boots (screaming ROCKET MAN! when you get all 6!).

OR… I use Mine instead of Thumper (in WvW) and get 5 blasts (same as above except Detonate Mine instead of Thumpers and throw in a Supply Drop) 1 leap (Rifle #5).

Same thing is also good for stealth from Bombs #4 (smoke bomb) or Might stacking from Bombs #2 (fire bomb).

I can’t get Supply Crate off on the first scenario to get 7 blasts, so I save it for HT’s utility water field or (easier) Detonate Mine in it, Mine also comes back up fast.

6. Rocket Boots (screaming ROCKET MAN! when you get all 6!).

Not to nitpick, but shouldn’t Rumble go after Thumper Turret Detonate? Just makes much more sense to double-tap the turret, then double-tap the toolbelt for Detonate → Rumble.

Depends on preference I guess, I kept dbl tapping it too fast and going on to next, missing it. I can roll my fingers in this pattern at the right times for the gcd to come back up.
