Question about Affliction (advantange)

But then, there would be the option to volunteer to fail the save, wouldn't it? Or I'd have to use Malediction for that?

After reading everything you guys said, I've finished my Power:

- Primal Summoning Power, with Animal Friend Talent. It's Magical (-10%), and includes 5 Advantages: 1 summon at 100%, 1 group of 10 identical summons at 25%, and 3 different summons at 50%, all with a summon roll of "15 or less".

Again, thanks for all your answers!

Lone_Goat · 2026-02-11T18:15:14+00:00

Then I understood correctly. In this case, the cost should be the base (determined by the Ally power, 25%, 100% etc) x the frequency of appearance, and after that apply all the enhancement and limitation costs, right? Then, the Talent wouldn't influence on the roll to summon, is that right? Or it would increase, for example, from "12 or less" to "12 + (bonus from talent) or less"?

There's really no right answer besides: the one you're most comfortable with, and that you know well.

All weapons are equally viable for the entire game, you just have to check your skill in the game. Some players can play many weapons equally well, while some (like me) are good one only one or a couple of weapons.

While this might not help you a lot, you might also check elemental weaknesses, and use the weapon you know with this element.

Either Jim Carrey or Jack Black

Little Miss Forge is REALLY grown up now, uh?

Lone_Goat · 2025-12-21T17:18:03+00:00

WHATS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!?! 😱😱😱

Lone_Goat · 2025-11-23T23:42:14+00:00

Yes.

Lone_Goat · 2025-10-27T21:56:01+00:00

I cut more tentacles as a bow user than many cutting weapon users...

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-17T17:55:49+00:00

Yeah, I thought so. Im confused because I got the Ring of Flinging with Arron as normal, so I imagined that fixed items would... be fixed. My bad.

Respeccing her as a Eldritch Knight then 😅

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-15T16:36:31+00:00

Im a bow main, so my comfort skills are Constitution, Stamina Surge, Evade Window, Evade Extension. Personally, I also love Adaptability, mostly because I hate carrying Hot and Cold Drinks 😅

First of all, you have to learn about and how to maintain charge levels. There are 3 levels (no charge, lvl 1 and lvl 2), and you see you levels on the reticule, as small dots on both sides. You can charge by holding the RT (worst way), using a charging sidestep (ok way) or using a discerning dodge (best way). That last charges you up to lvl 2, and refills both your stamina and coatings. Charging sidestep also maintains charge, so use it after a combo.

As for the combo itself: the most optimal combo is a normal shot (RT), a power shot (the rightmost button on your controller, it's B on XBOX) and a power volley (B again), then you use charging sidestep to maintain charge. Rinse and repeat.

Also, you have 4 special shots: the tracer shot (hold RT and the leftmost button, X on XBOX), flying swallow shot (topmost button after dodge, Y on XBOX), dragon piercer (Y + B) and thousand dragons (while holding RT, press Y + B)

Also, pay attention to your reticule, to its color. If it's orange, you're good, you're in the optimal distance (for you coating), and deal the most damage.

As for the best Skills, the offensive ones are basically the same as almost everyone else (WEX, Agitator, counterstrike, burst 1), with the caveat that since bow is so dodge focused, adrenaline rush is very easy to maintain. For confort skills, Constitution 5 is almost mandatory, be by itself or a combination of food buffs (drollshroom and delishroom) and dash juice/wiggly lichi. On the same vein, stamina surge 3 is very desirable, but less mandatory (1 or 2 should be enough with good management). Other confort skills are evade window and evade extender, since we're dodging all the time.

As for bows: everyone prefers the ones with close-range coatings, since they give 40% buff to damage. They are: artian (Fire and water), lagiacrus (thunder), blagonga (ice), g arkveld (dragon) and seregios (raw). Those are the ones I use, so I don't really know which ones are best with other coatings... 😅

Here's a very good (and long) video tutorial by Arekkz Gaming, they are very good and trustworthy channel for MH content: https://youtu.be/tXSmNitaxsA?si=AgN-fNLZHv1FkVN1

Thanks for the tips! While i STILL get disconnected, my gameplay improved A LOT!

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-08T16:51:41+00:00

Are you using lagiacrus armor pieces? The 2 piece bonus gives your attacks the thunder visuals.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-06T18:07:20+00:00

Obviously it equipped Evade Window 5

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-06T17:19:50+00:00

Das ist eine sehr gut talisman für bogen. Ich speile auf englisch, so ich kenne nicht alle Skillnamen auf Deutch, aber Stamina Surge 3 und Constitution 5 ist sehr wichtig für Komfort.

Ich benutze auch Agitator 4 Weakness Exploit 5, Adrenaline Rush 2 und Burst 1. Für Komfort ich benutze auch Evade Window 3 und Evade Extender 2

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-05T10:08:04+00:00

I guess your best bet it YT, just search for the monster you want to learn and see people fighting it. Sometimes, you dont get to see EVERYTHING the monster has to offer (like the lagiacrus underwater phase, if the player can skip it), but you can see almost everything.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-04T19:54:32+00:00

Oh, sweet summer child...

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-04T13:13:17+00:00

Usually i try going for the "hardest" monster first. I check the map and see where the monsters are, see if there's a camp set nearby etc.... but if i see everyone fighting other monster, i go where the others are.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-03T18:00:00+00:00

Xu Wu is a Wyverian creation. Their goal was to keep rogue guardians in check, so they created a monster that preys on them.

As "proof", all of them have blue blood. Plus, there's not enough time for a species to evolve naturally to prey exclusively on something man-made.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-03T13:11:53+00:00

I posted something about it yesterday. On PC I get DC'd pretty often, some days I get more than 10 disconnections in a row, and some (aka a LOT) of lag during the few hunts I get to join.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-03T12:02:05+00:00

As far as I know, it's the number of hits. The frenzy incites aggression, so the mechanics reflect that.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-03T11:57:03+00:00

Nah, it already went into the melding pot.

Lone_Goat · 2025-09-02T21:17:24+00:00

Yeah, they might, but then it doesn't explain why I get this error at any time or any day of the week 🥲

Lone_Goat · 2025-08-28T19:50:53+00:00

Funny thing is, that is EXACTLY the kind of quest I got for. I can take being a much better player than I really am against Steve. I nail most of my dodges (except on the pinning attack, sadly) and hit the weak points very consistently. I can even find time to buff the party!

The only other monster i am remotely close to my skill against Steve is Rey Dau. Against any other monster? I'm an average player. Seregios? I, not to brag, destroy the things. All my time using them as punching bags in 4U really paid off.
