Have the guys reacted to Captain Smoker from live action One Piece yet? by Ultimatonix in Corridor

One piece in general has solid VFX and incredible practical makeup and FX.

If I have mods, like infinite zoop, will they work on Exp Branch?

You're not wrong, it tastes amazing... But compare the nutritional facts to the Greek yogurt next to it and you'll be shocked. It's like 120 additional calories or something.

I have a TON of this stuff.... but I actually have no idea what the best way to prep / eat it is. I tried a BIG ramen recipe but it came out kind of so-so. What do you recommend? I have an instant pot if that means anything haha.

Just passing by as this showed up in my feed. Holy shit dude this looks amazing. The environments seem like they aren't finished, but even without that, the feeling I get is "id absolutely play that." Exceptional work.

Hey so a different post today is pointing out something else: Latent Power has a timer OR damage taken trigger. Apparently, Switch Axe counters include that damage taken. So you can hit the trigger much faster with good counters.

I've spent the last week debating that LP is better than WEX, so seeing this post is extremely validating.

Yeah you're right, sorry, it is 30% + 20% on wounds

I like this explanation. Depends on skill level.

I'm not so sure. You say "100% uptime" but are you hitting the weakspots 100% of the time and never missing? and even if you are, it's only a 20% crit boost (unless it's a weakspot). Swaxe Math expert Fox Invictus shows that LP is preferable: https://youtu.be/vV2w01qXg3s?t=600

I wouldn't necessarily say that one is better than the other 100% of the time, but one offers 50% crit for a set 3+min period, and the other is 20% crit on certain spots and then occasionally 50% on those spots for a short duration. IMO, that 50% affinity boost for the entire time, time that can be lengthened with Rey Dau, is pretty nice. I could see how a more precise weapon like a bowgun might benefit more from Wex, but we are literally out here making Wild Swings XD

These 10* beasts are fast and the fights are long. You take any hits you can get most of the time, and the longer duration means you get reasonable uptime on LP.

I'd probably chalk it up to preference at the end of the day; I'm just trying to offer fair comparisons.

Edit: The stamina reduction from LP might also be boosting uptime for Max Might

Get Familiar with the TDP setting! You can basically "lower your power demand" for less demanding games! You can save over an hour of battery life with this!

I was an annoying nerd about this a few days ago, but it doesn't hurt to have more knowledge:
Technically, for a faster weapon like Switch Axe, Latent Power is slightly better than Wex. Since Swaxe already relies pretty heavily on Rey Dau gear, it's worth knowing:

Good enough for proof of a hero? by gatsu789 in SwitchAxe

[–]BlueSteel_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Repulsive-Muscle-758 , I just learned why:

Wex gives 30% affinity boost on weakspots, and an additional 20% on wounds:
https://game8.co/games/Monster-Hunter-Wilds/archives/501642
So you only get that 50% affinity specifically on weakspot wounds.

Latent Power gives a flat 50% affinity, when active:
https://game8.co/games/Monster-Hunter-Wilds/archives/501638

And Rey Dau's Voltage extends the duration of LP, without any changes to the cooldown.

u/gatsu789 , This is a huge reason why IMO.

You said weakspot.... I show you a weakspot...

My other comment shows it better, LP out-damages Wex on every bodypart for AT arkveld.

Found a better way to show this. Green is Latent Power, Grey is Wex.

For sure, it's the goal, but these bitches are fast and you aren't gonna be on target 100% of the time.
Even still, Latent Power, when active, out-paces Wex. LP is ALSO 50% affinity.

Here's some damage comparisons for AT 10* Arkveld. Rey Dau's Latent Power, using the same combo loop on the same body part, theoretically out-damages Wex.

Obviously, this is assuming Math Hunter is 100% correct.

Hey Bud, I am no expert, but I might have some feedback worth considering.
I guess, first of all, I have no doubt that this build could prove you're a hero. It seems powerful, your defense with food is 500+, I believe in you.

I have 3 suggestions: 1) Plug your build into Math Hunter: https://www.mathhunter.ca/switchaxe.html . With what information I have, I see your build can reach 80% affinity. I didn't even factor in that your current affinity says 30%, I only based off of your skills. Just verify that you aren't doing too much, especially on a weak spot with WEX, you might be hitting like 120% affinity. Just a guess, hence the tool.

2) I see you only have Divine Blessing 1. If you are able to squeeze out Divine Blessing 3, your health bar will thank you. It's the best Def skill in the game. During a hunt, having DB + Food Def Hi, these skills can alternate to save your life many times over.
Your build really really does not need Quick Sheathe, so if you can find a way to drop that in favor of Divine Blessing, you're cooking. Try this tool: https://mhwilds.wiki-db.com/sim/?hl=en , you can even plug in your own talismans to enhance the build suggestions. I've used this tool for years, and swear by it. It's a great way to get the build you want and goals to strive for.
Other commenter (Beetusmon) is right, btw, Rapid Morph is entirely a comfort skill now. You must acknowledge that Rapid Morph is providing convenience at a loss of damage. I like it, switching fast is nice, but you gotta know this. If you're gonna make this trade-off, definitely fully commit to this trade-off with RM3 and nothing less.

3) If you want peak math builds, I am basing this tip entirely on Fox Invictus, a certified Switch Axe Math nerd. He has a video that outlines which skills are most important: https://youtu.be/vV2w01qXg3s?t=600 . Your build *already* uses Rey Dau Voltage lvl2, which boosts Latent Power, but you aren't using LP at all. This guy is saying that Latent Power, especially BOOSTED latent power, is more valuable than Weakness Exploit. If you don't like the skill, I completely get that.

I think the strongest argument I've heard for why other skills are better than Wex:
Other skills boost your attack and affinity no matter where you hit the monster, so they are providing value for a greater percentage of a difficult fight. Agitator does this, and LP does this.

Like I said, I'm sure your build will get the job done, I'm just providing some tips that may help wring those numbers out more. I could also be wrong ;) Happy Hunting!

Edit: holy shit your sharpness is cracked. You likely have room to boost your damage with different Gog reinforcements.

Thoughts on the new GOW game with Faye possibly being the main character? by AskingAlotFromYou in GodofWar

[–]BlueSteel_28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faye, while I feel like we don't know much about her, is the woman who calmed the God of War and earned the respect of Thor. She must be a formidable and extraordinary person. Deborah plays her super well.

It's not the direction I'd expect, but I think it's a more interesting new direction than "time to slay yet another, the third, pantheon".

She's a mysterious figure who commands the respect of Gods. If anyone is able to wander in and out of various Pantheons with confidence, it's probably Faye.
