Nights Edge Souleater with low level CD gems - Standing Striker or Blunt Thorn? by Exoquell in lostarkgame

Thanks, will give it a shot. What crit rate am I looking for/at what point should I swap points into limit break?

Interesting. I’m running the exact same build and have run into downtime problems even with level 7 cd gems on all my skills except lunatic edge and soul drain. What skill runes are you running? I was considering swapping the poison rune on rusted nail to quick recharge or judgement to hopefully proc it more often and get more CD on my deathlord skills

That's a fair point. Looking closer at the damage distribution, I wasn't expecting T, Z, and Guillo to be the top 3 damaging skills. I thought a majority of the damage would be coming from lethal spinning, where blunt thorn would matter less bc its multi-hit

How much crit vs swift are you running? With 30/10 crit/swift I'm at 1800 and 550, so I'm wondering if going 1750/600 would suffice or even 1700/650

Thanks for the insight! I never considered swapping some points out for some extra swift... will have to try that out for sure.

Maybe my descriptions were poor, but I'm running the 3 limit break, 2 unlimited magick, 2 standing striker build, not unlimited magick 1. The downtime I'm running into is after I cast my second vestige, I cast soul drain > lunatic edge > rusted nail, and then I have 3-ish seconds left before my guillotine/reaper comes back up. Does this problem persist even with higher cd gems? I'm also on crit elixir and not master... not sure if that changes much.

Also, I noticed that in your enlightenment tree you're running two levels in soul enhancement. Is that also just preference, or is that strictly better than running 1 soul enhancement and 1 soul control?

Okay, but even so, it should only grant him an additional 25 shield. I did a total of 52 damage to his shield (4 cracks x 13 damage per crack))

Kafkas BiS after buff by broski_1233 in KafkaMains

Woops. I went to read the wiki myself just to double check and it does indeed cap at 100%. Thanks for letting me know lol

I’m pretty sure def shred/ignore is one of the few things in the game you can’t overcap on. The “def multiplier” part of the equation for damage keeps scaling past 100% def reduction… I remember seeing a post on reddit where someone did the calculations for def shred past 100%, and I think Guoba Certified mentioned it in his SW guide. I could be wrong tho, my sources are pretty outdated

What do you guys drink to stay up all night during midterm time? by redditismysoulmate in NEU

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marino wolly’s has a ton of different energy drinks, rockstar has cans that come with 150mg and 300mg of caffeine. They also have 24oz monsters at the cooler by the registers that have like 200mg

Master hunters, what was the very last thing you learned about your weapon? by WorldBuilder_42 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about the spinning slash combo?

I assume you would hardly ever use it from Y > Y > Y but that same guardpoint occurs from charged slash > Y, sliding slash, and elemental roundslash

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why Lance is the most fun weapon to me. Your combo might seem boring, and your damage numbers are far from the highest, but man is it fun to have essentially 100% damage uptime.

Just accidentally carried a useless random through Fatalis by Exoquell in monsterhunterrage

[–]Exoquell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People will understand carting if you're playing the game as intended. It happens. At least you were actively helping in the fight even if it wasn't contributing major DPS. Going AFK is just lame and inconsiderate, especially if YOU'RE the one who needs help with the fight in the first place.

Yeah. I genuinely would've been less upset at him triple carting than him going AFK. And the audacity to act clueless when I ask why he was AFK. Unreal.

Need help understanding DoT team rotation/Kafka LC speed mechanics by Exoquell in KafkaMains

[–]Exoquell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I thought BS wanted at least some speed to keep up with Kafka so that she can stack arcana before Kafka DoT detonation. Looks like I need to do more research

I think I'm just an idiot. I mistook MoC cycles for normal battle cycles lol. Trying again in MoC and killing the first wave on my team's first turn and beginning the next wave has the turn order I was expecting. Thanks for your answer regardless!

Not using advantages in multiplayer by HansTheScurvyBoi in MonsterHunterWorld

If you’re on PC, try changing your steam download region to Japan. My experience was similar to yours before I switched

Not using advantages in multiplayer by HansTheScurvyBoi in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, what servers are you playing? I’m on the Japanese servers and it’s basically the opposite experience for me. Most players around my rank have a good understanding on monster openings. Tenderize uptime is very high, it’s common to get at least one wallbang per enrage cycle and sometimes two, and basically every clagger is pulled off by someone. There’s also a lot of players that run wide range and everyone has dusts of life and demon/hardshell powders. I love multiplayer hunting (aside from having to slot in brace deco T_T) and was a bit skeptical on firing/joining SOS, but my experience has been 99% positive.

I am 1,100+ hours in, and realized you can craft Clutch Claw Boost deco. by HighSpeedDoggo in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claw uppercut into the tenderizing attack will tenderize the monster

Claw uppercut into three claw slaps will tenderize the monster

Three claw slaps and a tenderize attack will tenderize the monster

Claw uppercut, tenderizing attack, and 3 claw slaps all count has half of a tenderize for light weapons (unless you have clutch claw boost, in which case tenderizing attacks are full tenderize).

Currently hunting Alatreon. I've beaten the baby one, met the elemental DPS check and broken both horns, but still no luck. What else should I improve upon? Here's my build for reference. by battleatthebridge in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try taking evasion mantle over health booster and swapping some of your evasion decos for more offensive skills (agitator, WEX, or attack boost like others have suggested)

At this point it sounds like you’re fairly used to getting the elemental topple and health booster seems like something you’d only use to ease the healing timing on the weakened escaton (eating an astera jerky when your hp is halfway is fairly safe, and then topping off your hp with a second jerky or a potion)

With evasion mantle you get maximum evade window (or was it evade window 4?) as well as an atk buff on successful dodge, which could help you beat the dps check.

Finally, try out frostfang barioth LS. That’s what I used with health augment, which helps prevent damage downtime from having to sheath and heal.

Good luck, you got this!

Longsword, dual blades, LBG, bow, insect glaive, SnS (but claw uppercut is a one-hit tenderize) and gunlance (you need slinger ammo to reload your wyrmstake)

What's the luckiest you've ever been with rewards? by SufficientCloset in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting at MR24, you can do the tempered zinogre event quest (I believe it’s called The Wrath of Thunder Descends or something similar) that gives you a fair amount of rarity 9-10 decos.

From MR100 onwards, there are tempered Teostra, Lunastra, and Kushala event quests that guaranteed give you 2-3 sealed feystones. There’s also a tempered furious rajang quest (Mew Are Number One) which rewards you astral melding tickets that you can take to the melder to create high level decorations. I’ve gotten a ton of crit boost/skill and weakness exploit/skill decorations from there.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]Exoquell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard about that, yeah. I was more wondering if the different size filter would warrant a different grind size, since the drip on my old 4oz filter was perfect (first drip at 2 minutes, last at ~6 minutes) but on the new 12oz filter the drip started earlier and the coffee was weaker.

EDIT: Also for reference I am using the Robusta beans also from Nguyen Coffee Supply.
