The "or wet" condition is really easy to fulfill
desert light
oh, armor caps got raised? didn't realize that
Yup!
brave hazel
Stand in a puddle? Wet. Rained on? Wet. I think even Waterblight fulfills the condition.
Unrelated, what do we think of this fit, yay or nay
brave hazel
Aye, gives a really rugged vibe
brave hazel
Soulseer is packaged as part of base Mizu
For... some reason
Also, there's apparently an Ancient Wyvern Coin at this spot in the hub
amber frost
temepered mizu got hands, still no carts to it but damage is insanely high
desert light
SO SOULSEER IS IN THE GAME THEN TECHNICALLY
Mizu has it's normal rage, but also a second enrage now where one eye bursts into flame soulseer style and it gains the flaming bubbles. This seems to be permanent? Or not linked to it's normal rage, I'm fuzzy on details
daring current
To be fair wounding it's head makes it look soulseer-y
desert light
It may actually be connected to the head wound, it seems very easy to break this game
amber frost
My notes from having fought a few so far
Not connected to the head wounding, it was able to trigger it just fine without, dunno if its that easy to break i know the first break is easy but that second break can take some effort sometimes
It doesnt seem to need its intial enrage, ive noticed it go from exhausted to normal to instant soulseer so it cant seem to IMMEDIATELY go from exhausted to soul seer but, close enough frankly
i think its almost more akin to damage dealt to it that seems to trigger it?
atleast against tempered i notice it going into soulseer often.
brave hazel
...I thought that looked funky, then I realized it was two folks standing atop each others' model and not a guy that inexplicably had an HBG and an SnS shield lmfao
amber frost
Also wanna note for damage, i was rocking fully upgraded arkveld armour, and a minor defense boost due to my dragon res, and its full body slam was giving me the "this hit WILL kill you" warning each time
Im so glad it got the fuckass body slam
amber frost
Also wanna note for damage, i was rocking fully upgraded arkveld armour, and a m...
(dragon res the skill, not the stat)
brave hazel
I've found those tend to not actually be "This WILL kill you" and more often are just "This WILL hit like a fucking truck"
amber frost
Shrug, iver only ever had it kill if it hits me raw (no blocking, no divine intervention like blessing/defender)
course i usually just
block it
frank epoch
what warning is that?
amber frost
But yeah, outside of maybe missing certain things, namely like the drifting waterbeam (seriously, it was one of the only ways water beam felt like a threat) new mizu is perfect beyond my usual issues with the armour
amber frost
what warning is that?
If a monster's attack is capable of killing you in my experience, you'll get red scoutflies to guide your attention to the attack+some warning from your cat or alma to get the fuck outta there
well technically they guide you to the monster who usually is the originator of the attack
visual lava
your health bar will go crazy
verbal copper
yeah the vibe check moment
I've had some people in the zoh fight who are very professional, and some people who got bodied by that insta-kill attack
verbal copper
Usually it's just "hey, big damage and your health isn't looking great" warning
So I just turned off my computer but uh... is the black marrow or whatever it's called from zoh just a very rare drop? Or do I need to smash something in particular?
Also I need one of those damn orbs for my weapon
brave hazel
Good to see the arena quest gear is still garbage lmao
Has it always been that way, actually? Arena quest loadouts being weirdly terrible to subpar? Or is that a newer thing?
amber frost
I cant really think of a game where arena gear was explictly top tier
brave hazel
World had that one Zinogre arena quest that inexplicably gave you full Velkhana kit and a Velk longsword
Max level too, it was the GOOD shit
amber frost
Jeez, fair
thats definetly the outlier then, no offense
the majority of arena quests ive done which
is more than i'd like to admit
tend to just give you vaguely acceptable weapons
brave hazel
Yeah it ranges from "Subpar" to "Actively bad"
twin ibex
So did they add a Misu variant with the update?
twin ibex
Ah.
amber frost
which i guess is a variant? but also not
twin ibex
I thought I saw ||him do the Soulseer fire eye.||
brave hazel
He gets to Soulseer as part of his base kit
empty raft
For some reason
brave hazel
It's weird yeah
amber frost
As the prior said, yeah
brave hazel
...tbh I hope they add Violet Mizu
amber frost
i dont mind it but it does make me a little sad cause it does mean soulseer's armour is truly gone
amber frost
...tbh I hope they add Violet Mizu
If they do i hope the armour gets another pass cause it being just a recolour of the base was
dissapointing
I will say, violet mizu with soulseer mode would be SO FUCKED
brave hazel
He phase transitions into the Soulseer form and you just hear fucking Megalovania start playing
amber frost
I will say though
wilds ABSOLUTELY has my favorite version of the mizu theme
tardy grotto
He phase transitions into the Soulseer form and you just hear fucking Megalovani...
Orchestral Megalovania
With choral backing
In Latin
frank epoch
i'm just hoping they put grimclaw tigrex in so i can go back to the comfortable numbness of suffering through 15 hunts for the grimclaw gong
amber frost
With the way they did mizu, i dont think we're gonna get any of the deviants sadly just deviant aspects added to the monster
Kinda like how dreadking's meteor attack and some other bits were added to rathalos
frank epoch
they should just port over zenith monsters from frontier
"you thought the game was too easy? alright, fuck you."
amber frost
Would be funny
But yeah, iunno
im EXTREMELY happy deviants are being acknowledged in some manner, im just sad it means we wont ever get their gear back
Seemingly atleast
we do still have a good few TUs and a whole expansion to go
brave hazel

whats new about hammer
brave hazel
oh i should give it a try
It's infinitely more fun than the standard charge slash combo
vapid quartz
im interested in the new zoshia hammer its very funny
brave hazel
I like how all the other Zoh Shia weapons are these grandiose fancy pants transforming works of art and then the hammer is just
"Steve Mined Craft is going to beat the everloving shit out of you"

desert light
Jinny's just a great fight
tardy grotto
Also, what's the difference between Rise, World, and Wilds?
outer heron
they're extremely different games in every way
tardy grotto
Weapon loadouts?
outer heron
the monster rosters differ
tardy grotto
Rathalos
outer heron
the speed differs
the weapons' movesets differ
the methodology of hunting differs
rise and wilds have mounts
tardy grotto
If you could give a one paragraph sellsheet for each, I would be much obliged
outer heron
rise is arcadey
it's the fast, simple, and easy one
world is the slowest and most demanding of the three, although much faster and smoother than older games
it's the bigger of the two finished games, and demands competent positioning
tardy grotto
Demanding in what sense?
outer heron
all of them
you have less leeway
with your own moves and with enemies'
overextensions are punished harder
your actions are slower and you don't have get-out-of-jail-free cards or nearly as many powerful counter-moves or ways to skip through your weapon's rotation
tardy grotto
So it's more a "learn the game, noob" experience?
outer heron
and it's a larger game, so it's also more demanding on your hardware
(larger and with a more graphically intensive visual design)
they also have entirely different core mechanics available
as supplements for standard weapon mechanics
world has a slingshot, which also turns into a grappling hook if you have the DLC
tardy grotto
Wilds has that too, right?
outer heron
only the first half
rise has wirebugs, which act as a resource for super moves and super dodge rolls
as well as palamutes
and much smaller, more condensed maps
tardy grotto
I see
outer heron
wilds is between the two in most respects
world's visual design, world's map design, rise's very generous defensive and movement options
no wirebugs
slinger, no clutch claw (grappling hook)
extra moves on every weapon
most of them new to the series
tardy grotto
Rey Dau ( 💛)
outer heron
wilds is also incomplete
because of how monster hunter games are designed
they're released with most of their content, but content updates bring new difficult monsters and difficult versions of monsters
and then ultimate version/dlc hits with G/master-rank
outer heron
i would suggest rise if you're new to the series entirely
master rank is hard mode
there are two parts of each game
low rank and high rank
low is almost always tutorial
or at least most of it is tutorial
it introduces you to easy monsters
lets you get comfortable with mechanics while doing early story
and then high rank makes the monsters tougher and adds more complex/difficult monsters
G-rank, known as master rank in world, is this but again
adds more monsters, the existing monsters get more dangerous with new attacks, higher speed, new mechanics, and better gear
tardy grotto
I see, I see
outer heron
base Rise is the easiest, and also the fastest to get into/learn
although base wilds isn't very difficult either
tardy grotto
I like slower paced games though, lol
outer heron
in rise it's more that you're faster
you're more mobile and have easier/more generous ways to react
against monsters that are about as fast as normal
sunbreak, its master rank DLC, pushes that to higher difficulty levels
but world vs rise depends more on how loose you want to be able to play
although rise is also faster and less dense in other respects too, so if you do want the game to be slower, base World probably would be the place to start
tardy grotto
Cool, twas my thoughts, but wanted to make an informed decision
Now, to wait for a sale
outer heron
wilds is also very easy, but in ways that are mostly made apparent if you're already comfortable with the game's systems
although it's also very good
but so are the other two
tardy grotto
So playing with just base, and then buying DLC, it wouldn't break the save?
outer heron
correct, it would just be like playing through the dlc of any dark souls game
desert light
Also, what's the difference between Rise, World, and Wilds?
Of the three, Worlds is the oldest. It is the first game in the 5th generation of monster hunter games.
It focuseso n a big, belivable ecosystem and exploring that, and expasnion pack Iceborne, builds on that. it features many, many quality of life changes from the prior generations.
Rise the second game in the fifth generation. It's by a diferent team. while it builds on what World did, it has it's own roster, and is a lot more arcadey - less focus on the ecosystem, more focus on FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. a common complaint is that rise is too fast, it's also probably the most complicated.
Wilds is the latest game, and the first in Gen six. it's by the same team who did World/Iceborne. It's very harsh on your pc to run, but actually has a story, and a lot of mechanicnal depth and lessons learned from both rise and world
I Would personally recommend Wilds or World first
Rise is great, but it's much more series veteran aimed
and is liable to be overwhelming if you're new
tardy grotto
correct, it would just be like playing through the dlc of any dark souls game
Excellent. I haven't actually played any Soulsbornes, either...
tardy grotto
Rise is great, but it's much more series veteran aimed
Also, lol at the totally different advice re Rise
desert light
Topple and i dont see eye to eye often
Hoenstly, i'd look for a sale
and grab worlds/iceborne on that
sicne they tend to go on sale cheap and often
then yo ucan figure out if you wanna invest in Wilds (it's expensive)
OR if you think the more arcadey combat of Rise might be your thing
both have stupidhuge amounts of content
Wilds is of course the new hotness, and it's very good
outer heron
rise was very much designed to grab a new audience (the switch audience)
and i think that the faster arcadey style lends itself to that
desert light
but given it's demands on pc perfomance and it's pricepoint ,i dont think it's as good an entry point to reocmmend
tardy grotto
I have base Worlds and Wilds on Steam Family, so...
desert light
Well, there you go then
outer heron
steam family solves that pretty easily
desert light
I'd leap into Wilds at that point then
and if you have perofamcne isuses, just boot up World
outer heron
might as well play the ones you've already got
tardy grotto
Was more thinking should I start with Rise, wait for a sale for Iceborne, or get going on World
tardy grotto
Cause if IB broke saves....
outer heron
and it's for people who have finished world
and want it to be harder
i also can't think of any dlc for games in the last like
10, 15 years that "break" basegame saves
it's really not something you have to worry about much anymore
tardy grotto
Literally every Paradox one, lol
outer heron
oh
tardy grotto
Though that's more every DLC comes with a major content patch
outer heron
paradox games don't really register as anything other than paycheck shredders to me
considering how much dlc they have, and how expensive it is
but fair, if that's your starting framework
tardy grotto
Good to know
Also a few smaller games I've played, that wipe your saves on an update
Soon™️, then

vocal haven
getting the should I frames right is just such an amazing feeling
brave hazel
What's even better is getting the offset right
Still trying to figure that out
I know it's "Connect your sword blade with the monster's attack" but it's weirdly finnicky
visual lava
the window is pretty generous
but you need to actually "set" and start charging to do the offset (even lv 0 charge)
if you just do the normal uppercut, it can't offset
brave hazel
Right
heady stone
it's the fast, simple, and easy one
Least until endgame. Sunbreak endgame is intense apparently
heady stone
It is
Oh if you're starting Greatsword I can link some really good advanced tutorials if you want
outer heron
Least until endgame. Sunbreak endgame is intense apparently
all of sunbreak is definitely harder
i'd say sunbreak starts like

Does CB have some like, hidden mechanic of the monsters aggroing on you more often?
near bane
do you fell its hard or do you fell its repetitive ?
there is a armor skill that gives you agro
its on arkveld
brave hazel
Only Arkveld set I'm wearing is the layered one
I noticed it with a tempered Nu Udra too, it was weird
Just kept hyperfocusing on me
Maybe it's because I kept dealing a lot of instances of damage?
brave hazel
I don't think I have any Diversion pieces is the thing
visual lava
might just be bad luck then
I haven't had that issue with CB vs Zoh Shia
honestly might have been a bonus actually, to get SA mode easier
brave hazel
Like I said, I might've kept drawing aggro because I kept dealing a bunch of instances of damage

other ppl kept eating all the wounds

With the whole "Sword strike + phial damage + sometimes an extra hit from the Zoh Shia weapon skill"

brave hazel
...god I wish you got more end of quest rewards
Mostly so you don't end up spending a bunch of time just farming claws or some such
empty raft
I think u don’t get as many as world because of the wound breaks
brave hazel
Yeah, true, you're definitely meant to supplement your rewards with wounds, but wounds only give you the most basic stuff
Tbh it'd be nice if the end of quest rewards were the more uncommon drops almost exclusively since wounds already give you bucketloads of common materials
teal halo
Yeah, true, you're definitely meant to supplement your rewards with wounds, but ...
are rubbery hides basic drops on nerscylla? cause if not then i have to disagree with this statement.
amber frost
Wounds have seperate drop chances, they're admittedly far from just basic stuff but that does make the majority of chance
Im indifferent to the new system since i run a set with flayer and healing off of wound destroying so the loot is secondary but it does feel a bit blegh at times how little drops you have on the end quest screen
jagged oak
I think that it would be nice if they showed you all of the monster parts you received throughout your entire hunt, that way you can really see just how much you get from wounds/ part breaks.
verbal copper
I will say they seem pretty free with lucky tickets this time around, and there are certain meals that give you a chance of gathering more stuff from carves, and another that gives more stuff from captures.
You need to use a meal ticket for it but it's good if you're real desperate to farm out something fast
One thing I did get annoyed at however was Guardian Scales+
Because you can only get them from like two monsters and they HAVE to be a reward from wound breaking
graceful snow
Yea and there's kind of easy ways to get meal tickets as well
Becuase you can get them from both Arenas and Bowling

Not even because it's bad, it's just nobody stops wailing on the monster and they just immediately wake it up so all that effort to put it to bed feels wasted
At least it makes a big opening when it's falling asleep

it's also kind of just worse than para
same thing but the damage extension it gives you is more limited
brave hazel
Yeah
visual lava
I also already run Para on CB, and there's nothing else I'd have a reason to use sleep with, so I figure why not go with something different.
void narwhal
I like Sleep on a bowgun because it's not like The Main Event, just a lil bonus for Mega Barrel Bomb Time
also nice to get that 'breather' instead of EVERYONE MAXIMUM DPS that paralyze makes y'wanna do

I have it on my Artian HBG bc the other HBG I use has Para already, so basically the same reason

the other day i put a Rathalos to sleep with a single rapid-fire volley from the Gravios LBG

balmy swan
i'm having awful trouble with GS wakeups on sleeping monsters, though. i keep landing the first hit of the TCS, not the second
visual lava
You can change the direction mid TCS using focus mode in case you didn't know
balmy swan
i did
i should probably work on that tbh
i've gotten so used to the careful wakeup spacing from World so it's just kind of my default

it's pretty easy imo, easier than measuring the proper spacing
you can just be right next to the monster but facing away

DIABLOS??? WHERE????
Running quests, apparently
brave hazel
Guild's so short-staffed they had to resort to hiring monsters
brave hazel
If only there were not one but two whole games whose gimmicks were training monsters, who despite having a very small audience were nonetheless beloved by many
Shame that, Capcom should really consider the idea
tardy grotto
Oh?
brave hazel
Yeah, they could've called them some really distinctive name to set them apart too
Maybe something like Monster Hunter Stories, make them more narrative based than other MonHuns
brave hazel
That'd make for a great collab honestly
Pokemon collab wherein we get a hammer that's just the world's biggest Pokeball on a stick
tardy grotto
nope
Huh, where?
Also, question
I know World's MP can be.... interesting at times
Does one player just having base, and the other Iceborne, affect anything?
weak gulch
IB unlocks stuff, but can play with Base World up to High Rank fine.
tardy grotto
Gotcha
But I would be able to load into, say, a Bazelgeuse hunt with Rajang gear just fine?
And still be able to grapple around and stuff?
weak gulch
Probably yea
plain gazelle
Huh, where?
https://gg.deals/deals/?onlyHistoricalLow=1&store=4 i just went on here and searched for iceborne

Gotcha

got the new weapon!
the zoh one
cool white guitar
it got a white sworl on the back
brave hazel
Zoh Shia weapons kick ass
stiff dust
zoh shia longsword has a weirdo freak sheathe
stiff dust
Oh? hell yeah
it gets wrapped in weird white threads whenever sheathed
rich valve
also there's this weird lady singing in the hub
apparently you get a buff if you're nearby when she finishes her performance
verbal copper
So I saw Zoh was kinda weak to blast stuff as well? I'm tempted to use my blast horn against them
rich valve
that would make sense given you're blasting bits of its shell off
verbal copper
gonna give it a go
brave hazel
Speaking of Blast, how good is it in Wilds?
I know it was the de facto king of statuses back in World
stiff dust
overshadowed by paralysis but i think for many weapons highest damage if you want to fight monsters that can fight back?
rich valve
if you're comparing blast and poison in terms of damage then without many poison support skills available in the game blast certainly wins out
but paralysis is definitely better
hard to calculate how much damage it actually gets you but it procs pretty reliably and is a great opening
brave hazel
Yeah I've noticed that Paralysis seems a LOT stronger
outer heron
if you're comparing blast and poison in terms of damage then without many poison...
i believe their DPS is actually pretty comparable
teal halo
it gets wrapped in weird white threads whenever sheathed
It is its own sheath
visual lava
for some weapons like longsword where you want the monster to be attacking you, Blast is arguably better
verbal copper
I'd say that one thing for tempered apex monsters is that paralysis can get you a ton of safety on attacks but you can stack that resistance really quickly. So having your second weapon being something like poison or blast or something you can switch to when you need a harder hitter isn't a bad idea.
I managed to offset melody zoh in the face when they were doing the charge attack
catapulted them backwards into the wall. Very fun.
verbal copper
fuuuuuudge you

About the Mizu fight
He only goes soulseer if you break his head
You turn him into a variant MID FIGHT
brave hazel
Huh. Can you do it with two people? I was just doing the fights alone
You can, and you can bring a support hunter along too
empty raft
because soulseers are Mizu’s that have been blinded in combat
brave hazel
You turn him into a variant MID FIGHT
...oh my fucking god you're right
That's a fucking awesome detail

I just thought. What if there was a monhun nemesis system like theres a chance that when I fight ends it escapes you still get rewards but it comes back later its tempered on the wounds you inflicted and has some extra sshit and it remembers you. And its pissed
Might be cooking but I think the concept is broadly copyrighted
Maybe you get to name it too
Oh that's the that mizu ol' no eyes
brave hazel
Archtempered Gore Magala turning into chaotic gore or molting into Shagaru
Gore molting into Shaggy mid-fight would be such a peak "OH FUCK OH GOD OH SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" moment
verbal copper
Do it so it molts during a run away phase
so you're chasing after it and you turn the corner and the molt is just on the floor and it's like "ohhhh no... that's not good"
verbal copper
Have them mounted on a wall waiting for you. There's a lot of cool walls in this game, and so far the only thing that's jumped at me from a wall has been a bug
Batman me from the shadows with a horrible beast
but give it major knockback if you offset that attack
Also I ran out of money then I remembered you can sell stuff and realized I like sixty ray dau scales just sitting in my inventory
And after I was done I got the get a million moneys achievement
brave hazel
Should go and sell off some of my clabber to get it
verbal copper
yeah honestly, when doing the gem hunting attempts I just wound up with around 60 of the basic scale things for the apexes
and they sell for a lot
arkveld items itself, just for the gem, sell for a lot, and all I did was reduce the amount I had down to 30
Anything I had over 30 of I sold down to 30 because if I need over 30 of something then more fool me

Also tempered Mizu can just do his Blueflame mode without any head wounds

Also this is my first monsie hunter game and I gotta say it's super fun so far. I definitely notice tho how people have been saying it's easy but I don't mind I suppose.
I like heavy bowgun and charge blade the most but lance has been fun and admittedly I haven't tried much else other than during the beta.
I heard that switch axe had a bunch of bugs n thought I'd wait for that to get resolved before I try it
Also hope they'll add layered weapons soon enough

The new mizu horn has earplugsL as a song
And the melody of life for healing
It's actually the perfect horn to use against zoh

stiff dust
sometimes i'd get a little clipped by a small swipe or whatever and i blink and later i have health again
verbal copper
The mizu horn also has a song that increases how much a healing heals you
It's honestly a great horn for "get in there and fight because I will not let you fall"
teal halo
The soap fox music is incredible, it seems
verbal copper
Heal buff, mass high end heal, smaller heal songs, earplugs that make even zoh sound like asmr, and still decent damage
If you have the horn as a backup secondary I'd say get mizu horn instead of zoh
Zoh is fine, mizu is STRONK
teal halo

I'm a big fan of the Zoh horn for the healing bubble and good songs + good stats
Combined with the Zoh 4pc set bonus and Recovery Up 3 you can passively heal your entire health bar in a little over 20 seconds
verbal copper
the zoh horn is pretty good, it's got a great range of buffs, and I like combining it with the horn that extends already existing songs
play all the buffs on the zoh horn then switch and keep all the songs going with a big plays
I just kinda love the mizu horn
frank epoch
I've heard it's really good for water element so I get to farm for that now

Yeah! It's a really strong water element horn, and has a tone of great stuff
Honestly I find it very useful for Apex/Zoh fights because of earplugs L

...man do I miss World's quest system
Half the time when I try to join a hunt in Wilds it just gives me a "Quest's full, sorry" error
brave hazel
It had more of an indicator of if a quest was full though, since it gave a list of everyone in the quest
Admittedly I did play World long, long after its heyday, so there were a lot less people watching like vultures to instantly snap up any quests
mystic cape
It's definitely more of a population issue than a system issue, since if you try to join a quest around the same time as another 10 people will mean most get rejected

Aye
I just wish it was easier to tell if the quest has filled up
On a brighter note
I think I may be turning into a Hammerbro

I mean, Wilds does tell you how many people are already in the quest tho, just not their names.
frank epoch
Doesn't feel like it matters 95% of the time, I'll try to join a quest with 1/4 members posted 0 minutes ago and not get in due to the quest being full
brave hazel
Yeah that's been my issue
Especially with anything that has a gem reward
You try to join it, 1/4 players, 0 minutes, oops, all full
visual lava
I'm just saying that that's not a change from World
As other have said, it doesn't have anything to do with the quest system itself, it's just because there are vastly more players in Wilds atm
frank epoch
I know, doesn't make it not annoying
visual lava
I agree with you there lol
Going back to "you don't get to play", that's why Paralysis is my go to for CB
constant para, stun, and knock down goes hard
frank epoch
That's what I do on my artian hunting horn also lol. Slugger 3 + Paralysis Attack 3
visual lava
The thing is, I feel like for CB at least, you don't even need those skills, so you can just run more damage instead
frank epoch
I absolutely don't need them for horn, but it's funny as fuck
And no amount of DPS can buy good comedy
brave hazel
I would use paralysis but I like having a challenge
That and all the CBs I like don't have paralysis

On the bright side, you can rest in the solace of knowing that armor would've just immediately gotten outclassed by MR kit, so ultimately you saved yourself some time

Critical damage means 1.25 from affinity not "critical strikes" on wounds right

not on critical element
it doesn't make your elemental damage capable of critting

not 1.25x like a standard crit

Here's a funky question:
If you had to introduce a new element to Monster Hunter, what would it be? Element, status, whatever. You and the monsters get it of course.
graceful snow
Give me black holes
stray oriole
Maybe an infection style debuff. Like it can hop from monster to monster and the more affected by it the more the DOT is
Turf wars would help propagate it across the map
Kinda incentives you to kite what you're fighting to the doshuguma minding its own business
vapid quartz
maybe bleed, with the new wound system iti would like do more per wound you left open,? to have the tradeoff of not hitting them for the extra damage and stun
and like be a short lasting fast tick poison you have to reapply more
stray oriole
Ooh the more they bleed the quicker any rage ends because they go anemic
vapid quartz
theres already some monsters who could give bleed stuff, odo, that one elder from rise
stray oriole
And we have bleed pods
Going back to black holes gravity would be cool I'm struggling to think of how they'd implement it
But specifically being able to knock monsters around or pull them exactly where you want them without kiting or mounting
Peak🙏
vapid quartz
i think that would work better as a put down thing liike a trap maybe i find it hard to understan how thaat would work as a weapon proc
like you set iti down and they ar dragged towards it and then it lets them go a sort of anti trap
i can think of lots of usecases
stray oriole
Ye the dragging them back to where you want them would be siiick
A black hole opens up and rips you toward the precarious crystal spire
Big uhoh
vapid quartz
maybe a gravity thing for status would be it builds up to proc and then sets their animations at like 0.95 speed as they are weighed down
still damaging the same but easier to dodge or parry
stray oriole
Mmhm a slow down was my other thought, that'd be cool for lock downs
I promised my time to Minecrafters and thats a shame cause I've been geeked to play monster hunter all day
vapid quartz
or yeah on that infection thing maybe a neopteron swarm thing like an bug swarm infestation status seems very monster hunter
stray oriole
Yeeees! That rules
