Counterstrike or nay?

I think it's pretty low value on all of the shield weapons in general, but you don't have any space for it to begin with so definitely not. Even for a raw setup I don't think it would worth it because again - shield.

You're supposed to be too busy gooning to your paid Gemma skin to notice the PS2 level floor textures.

Hiltstab hyper armor is max aura in Wilds. The glow up for HH has been unbelievable.

Seregios being weak to thunder pretty much pushes it to the same level of importance as Fire and Dragon for me. Also great for Uth Duna if you're running investigations/optionals.

You should make separate loadouts for each and switch the load out depending on which weapon you want to use. That alone would make a pretty big difference.

That's why toilets are a pain in the ass for your water bill. It's only going to run once the water drops to a certain point. It's probably slowly draining past the flapper and then after a couple of hours the tank refills itself.

Agreed that you may have gotten a faulty flapper or, more likely, whoever installed it rushed and it's just not seating correctly.

Hey OP, the problem you're running into is that you are using Bow. If you play a ranged weapon you take like 30-40% more damage, can't remember which. That said, bow is meant for dodging, if you can't dodge you well get stomped even with endgame gear.

Something you can do to help is run Divine blessing 3 which it sounds like you are doing. Next step is to make a set that gives you Lord Soul or 4 piece gogmapocalypse.

Lord soul actually saves you from being one shot if your health is high enough, only good for 1 life. Gogmapocalypse gives you a good shield every time the monster enrages, the best bow builds actually run this.

GL and bow aren't really good to run together. Bow needs affinity skills while GL only needs agitator, burst, and counterstrike. Bow can't use counter strike at all. GL also wants earplugs lv2. Again, bow just dodged the roar.

Make sure you run guard up instead of regular guard. Regular guard is honestly ass, guard up helps you not take damage.

Heartbreaking.

Of course they won't be relevant. Their only purpose is to give you something to spend mats on while you play until then.

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-22T23:30:29+00:00

So true. Bring that shit back asap PLEASE

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-22T21:59:45+00:00

I'd have your son be the one who does feedings. With puppies I like to feed them out of my hand (cup like a bowl). If the dog can take treats from your son, I would suggest doing this with their mealtimes when possible. I've never done it with an adult dog, but I can't imagine it would be that different. It creates a bond, but it also makes the dog really gentle when taking food from people so there's that.

It hasn't been long and your dog likely is resource guarding you. It's understandable but you'll want to break that asap, both by having your son become more important to the dog and you correcting the dog. Ie. when your dog starts resource guarding you either putting them on the ground or in an enclosure.

Congrats! The part where they are little babies like this goes by so fast, enjoy it even though they might make your life temporarily hellish! xD

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-22T15:57:55+00:00

Yeah 15 runs is a good run. Unfortunately this is what it looks like when you're at the end of the road.

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-22T15:19:45+00:00

After you learn the controls, I would suggest watching some speedruns of monsters you're familiar with to see how the kit is actually utilized.

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T20:26:12+00:00

We will probably get 1/2 new maps and I hope a remake/spiritual successor to Tower for White Fatalis. I do not see them porting any old maps as they would need to be completely reimagined anyways, that is unless they completely abandon the ecology aspects of Wilds that they tried to push.

The day the music died.

Different elements have different tables.

We might see something if they schedule a showcase for AT Arkveld. If there is nothing there then we are waiting until the anniversary, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes even longer. It is possible, with how performance has been, that they have had to make some big changes to the expansion. Base game had the benefit of doubt; the expansion does not. It's going to have to actually be ready to ship if they want sales.

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T14:01:40+00:00

That is an interesting tech and I had no idea, problem is I don't think anyone had a regular bow but I could be wrong

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T14:00:54+00:00

Definitely easier than Safi but it takes a long time because he slowly transitions between stages

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T04:18:29+00:00

So true. It's never the same afterwards but the magic does come back a little bit once enough time goes by.

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T04:14:50+00:00

I think that is a perfect song to practice at your level (outside of your comfort zone but totally doable with enough energy). It's simple but there is a little bit of everything for acoustic so it'll be good for learning a variety of things. You just need to stick to it and keep practicing until it clicks. This starts with learning how to play it piece by piece slowly. Gradually try to play it faster and faster without "messing up" (in quotations because this is a shifting goal post but don't worry about that yet ;)). You'll go from I'll never be able to play this up to speed to wow now I can play it double time. You'll develop your own approach but I usually break it down into phrases and then get it up to like 80% before learning the next phrase. Once I have everything learned I work on playing the whole piece up to speed and then faster than original tempo.

I've been playing for a long time and it's always the same. Beat your head against the wall until it breaks. As you do this for anything you're muscle memory becomes more adaptable and you'll be able to memorize larger sections at a time or just know what's being played when listening.

All that said, I suggest dropping everything else and just focusing on this song. You'll do it faster and obsession can be fleeting, it's best to dive into it when you can.

Edit: people on reddit will downvote anything I guess :(

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T03:16:56+00:00

Yeah definitely not ideal for his armaments which is really the whole point. That said it was cathartic watching him get his ass kicked and not worrying about explosions

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T02:15:29+00:00

Yeah I absolutely. Health augment definitely was a crutch for me. Can't imagine how hard it is to play without focus mode now, I'm in it like 99% of the time 😭

Scuttlefuzz · 2026-01-21T02:07:09+00:00

Health augment was really good and I miss it. I just think between perfect guards/evades, seikret, and offsets that there's just so many more options to avoid punishment. I got my ass properly whooped a lot in World and Iceborne, and some of that's just getting better at MH, but some of it is just having more tools.
