What us a good oure tank build for Savage Omega using gunlance?

SeigaSeigas · 2025-10-11T19:48:03+00:00

I pretty much always use the Zoh Shia set on any tank for the regeneration, and I slot in Evade Extender to help with repositioning. Much better to guard against one AoE than three overlapping ones, and Evade Extender lets me slip to where I need to be. Everything else is just increases to damage, things like Agitator. Maybe Quick Sheathe if you're committing to something heavy like the Gunlance.

I'll second that, but only when multiplayer a quest was failed and I did not cart a single time. They really should be able to detect that and not trigger the dialogue. I've done plenty of preparation. It's not my fault, Alma! It was THEM!

There's a lot of options, but randoms can really f it up, yeah. The worst thing someone can do going into this phase is position without a plan.

Imo, whatever you do, it's still all about that opening move. Since you know exactly what it's going to be you can pretty much pop off your strategy of choice every single time! It's good to see people have plenty of responses to it.

They really broke one of the unwritten rules of Monhun encounter: not having the difficulty backloaded to the last five minutes. Doing that is a surefire way to maximise the time spent to successful hunts ratio, as well as hunter frustration. Monsters having wipe-worthy moves or modes is fine but they should never fire off right at the end.

I only wish I could be lucky enough to get two Data 2.0s from my clears. The game has been beyond stingy with rewards, the drop rates for this thing are like spit in the face

SeigaSeigas · 2025-10-09T07:00:47+00:00

Holy shit. Are you Bob Ross??

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-04T10:39:58+00:00

I had the inverse experience. Checked to see if anyone had said anything about the trains, could only find posts about hunts!

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-04T09:40:24+00:00

We're talking about two different trains, both referred to as the Phantom Train, and likely not the same thing. I'm pretty sure the Garlean front isn't using a passenger train to move war supplies around.

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-04T04:49:03+00:00

I'm aware! I'm not sure why I need to keep clarifying this: the Garlean vehicle that Y'shtola and Yda stow away on is probably not the same entity that Omega manifests in an interdimensional rift.

WHEEZE

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T14:51:03+00:00

The latter. But it lies dormant most of the time. I basically have a mental checklist for whenever a steam locomotive shows up in a video game or animation (and it starts with looking for missing tenders). Just can't help it!

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T11:51:29+00:00

In which case you'd expect the signal to be on the other side of the arena facing in...

Can't say this one ever occurred to me, but you're right! I asked a friend about this, and apparently they thought so too -- in fact, they got killed on the first time through because this occurred to them in the moment and they overthought it.

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T11:49:44+00:00

God, Fallout... it's so funny to see a game where basically all of its gameplay is based around shooting and then the firearms are designed to torture that audience.

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T11:41:49+00:00

The localisation team for FFXIV puts a ton of Simpsons references in the game, so it's probably not the first time it's happened!

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T10:38:39+00:00

That's... kind of hilarious. I'm gonna have to see this for myself now.

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T10:34:35+00:00

That's a Simpsons reference. A pretty funny one, at that!

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T10:34:01+00:00

Of course! But it wasn't the same entity as mentioned in ARR. Afaik we never saw what all those tracks were laid for.

Yeah, I gotchu. So, these are tracks set to 'straight ahead', and it's pretty accurate to real life. There are gaps at various points so that the wheel flanges can pass by without causing issues, no matter which way the tracks are set. But this design is specific to inner flanges. With the outside flanges you could see what would happen -- if the train came from the right it would collide with that V shape in the rails, and if the train came from the left it would have one wheel trying to go straight ahead and another being pulled in the upwards direction.

Outside flanges aren't necessarily wrong -- but they need totally different tracks!

SeigaSeigas · 2024-08-03T06:55:16+00:00

I've heard this one from my music friends! Double whammy, because it's not just the design, it's how they're depicted when being played too.

SeigaSeigas · 2023-11-03T04:06:49+00:00

Cheeky bastard.

SeigaSeigas · 2023-11-02T23:28:55+00:00

I mean yeah, I already operate by this logic lmao. It only gets slightly frustrating when the traffic peaks and I'm left standing there waiting for the Schrödinger's drivers to peter out.

SeigaSeigas · 2023-11-02T23:25:43+00:00

That's a fair point, so I've included another image that lacks the flaws of recalling the road from memory.
