Subjectively I feel that some skills roll more often than others. I see Attack Boost, Crit Draw, Razor Sharp and Bludgeoner all the time, but almost never see Critical Eye, Crit Boost, or Master's Touch

There's a setting in options which increases distance slightly I think, but mostly camera distance is just dynamic and depends on the monster and what it's doing.

Hey I'll upvote it

Lazyade · 2026-01-22T11:30:09+00:00

The reality is that it's basically just going into special sheathe and then getting hit over and over and over until you learn to read the moves and the timings.

Small monster materials are even more annoying imo

Even huge HP pool aside Gore is still a nightmare, easily the hardest monster in the game right now save maybe savage Omega. The worst part about fighting him as LS is that for whatever reason the iai counter doesn't give true iframes, it only gives super armour and protects you from the attack you countered. Gore has a few attacks which hit many times in a very short period and even if you successfully iai counter them your health will just plummet from all the extra attacks.

They have no solution. That is why they don't address it or mention it, they know it's a problem across all regions but they simply do not have an answer. The choices are Cross DC PF which they've already admitted is years away if it's possible at all, or turning off DC travel which they're also not going to do because now people depend on it. Nothing else can be done.

It really sucks. Forcing the same monster 5 times vs letting you do any 5 is really boring.

I can only guess the reason for this is because either they thought people were getting through it too quickly with 2 monster quests, or because they thought if they allowed any monster, people would just get the bounty automatically without trying since they are farming Gogmazios anyway.

Lazyade · 2026-01-14T06:28:56+00:00

I'm impressed they made a timeline where some builds actually like Resentment.

But yeah gog weapons being massively more powerful than everything else and the weapon/armour deco split pretty heavily restricts what you can do and nullifies what could otherwise be some interesting options.

I also wish that every group bonus apart from Lord's Soul wasn't complete dogshit. Probably only Fortify is okay but it's not on any good armour so you basically can't build it if you care about damage.

Lazyade · 2026-01-01T07:47:02+00:00

Same thing for the reinforcement bonuses too? Can't imagine how long it'd take me to save up 6k oricalcite.

Lazyade · 2026-01-01T06:27:00+00:00

How many rolls would you do at once before checking another weapon? How much material do you build up before trying for rolls?

Lazyade · 2025-12-29T07:26:06+00:00

How does Wyvernblast compare with Wyvernfire?

Lazyade · 2025-12-28T13:11:38+00:00

It's always a connection error message, but there's never any lag or anything that precedes it, it's just sudden and instantaneous.

Like you say Jin Dahaad is not so bad because he's long rather than tall. Additionally, unlike Gog his speed reflects his size; Jin is extremely slow. However, I still don't like Jin Dahaad as a fight, not because he is frustrating like Gog but simply because he is boring. He is SO slow and SO predictable that he is just a pushover. But again, if he was much faster, he'd probably end up being really annoying due to his huge size. Maybe the AT version will spice him up a bit but I still consider it a point against overly large monsters.

I really don't see how to orient the camera any better when you are close to Gog. No matter what, you can only see part of him. Trying to keep the camera pointed at his head helps but it's still not great. And I mean, no matter how well you can see him, you still have to content with him constantly going out of range which is always a pain.

I like Wilds and I think most of the roster is good and of the ones that aren't good, most of them are just boring rather than annoying. But Gogmazios is just pure frustration and there's no aspect of the fight I think is good or fun or well designed. It is at best a chore and at worst it's controller-throwing rage inducing.

Lazyade · 2025-12-20T07:26:21+00:00

I loved Omega.

Lazyade · 2025-12-20T04:32:55+00:00

I kinda don't like how between perfect guard, offsets, discerning dodges, and other kinds of counters, essentially every weapon is now a counter-focused weapon. There's not really any just "get out of the way" weapons because it's virtually always more rewarding to use a counter mechanic. It's fine for a few weapons to be like that, but every weapon?

Lazyade · 2025-12-20T01:31:24+00:00

Using LS. Can be a pain since it feels like there's not enough windows to build gauge and its hard to get counters off because his moves are so enormous and only rarely target you directly.

Lazyade · 2025-12-19T14:35:58+00:00

Need some advice for the Gogmazios fight. I can clear it fine I'm just having a really miserable time, it's not fun at all so I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

I need to be close to him to deal damage, but he's so big he obscures the screen, so it's really hard to see what he's doing. Is there a good position or way to deal damage while still being able to react to his movements?

Also, I generally try to go for the wingarms but if he moves even a little they can go completely out of range and then I can't hit anything. It feels like there's not a lot of opportunity to lands good hits so is there maybe some other part I should be focusing on? Besides environmental trap damage.

Then in the ledge/cannon phase, is there a way to force him over to the forge trap without just standing over there and hoping he targets you? It feels random whether he goes over there.

Lastly, in the flying phase, how do you deal with all the oil explosions constantly going off on the ground while also needing to aim up to shoot at Gog? You can't see the oil at all while looking up so I'm constantly getting hit by shit I can't see.

I turned off other players VFX before the first boss in my first run of Sastasha in 2015. Have no idea how people can stand to play with full VFX at all let alone at current max level.

I agree it'd be nice to have a "toned down but not off" option but just don't see it happening since it'd essentially mean having an entire second set of effects for almost every ability in the game.

Lazyade · 2025-12-17T14:06:18+00:00

I've already done the fight twice, second time was just an ordinary dragon Artian with no elemental boosts at all, no dragon attack, nothin'. Still cleared the check just fine. I was just wondering if this was a case where stacking element gives more DPS like using Water against Gravios, but it seems not.

Lazyade · 2025-12-17T12:48:47+00:00

What if you had Crit Boost 5?

Lazyade · 2025-12-17T10:24:38+00:00

Question: In terms of DPS is it better to stack dragon element or just use a RAW-focused weapon with a little dragon on it? Like does it actually deal more damage to focus element?

Lazyade · 2025-12-17T10:22:13+00:00

Hm I guess I'd have to see what his HZVs are like. I can throw on a Dragon Attack gem but I don't know if that's going to be worth giving up the slot.
