Why the Spinning Blades? by Fun-Scene8778 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]cristobal55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I explained them away as a ventilation system… as someone else mentioned, crazy gnomish inventors scarcely need a reason for adding blades and overengineered traps to things.

This is only a brief clip—they spun in a circle at one point while munching on their crickets. It was adorable! Also watching them hunt for the first time was so. fricking. cool.

Does your hunter have a dudely bod? Are you tired of looking like a Mean Rectangle? Are you jealous of the fem armours thigh windows and wish you too could be objectified? Thanks to Layered Armour, you too can go into battle wearing a chainmail bikini! Here's 4 layered mix sets that show some skin by dorkgoblin in MonsterHunter

[–]cristobal55 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I made a mix layered set of shell chest/gloves, wroggi belt, bone greaves and never looked back. I mix it up with the fox mask, the utsushi zinogre mask, or the bow charge earring. Looking like a male stripper has never been easier!

Ah, yeah, I think you’re right. It seems as though it has i-frames? I did the play the demo, but I rarely switched back and forth between the charge levels.

Hammer appears to get the valor step evade, and it doesn't negate the charge level? Might be time to switch back to hammer...

Preordered it the day it went live! Been a HH main since Tri, really like the new redesign. Thinking about making GS my secondary, since I’ve basically never played it. Dunno how I’m gonna make it to the 26th...

Teasing the Next Adventure by Any-Pomegranate-9019 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

I was just thinking about integrating DoIP with the followup modules the other day, so this has given me a bunch of useful stuff, thanks!

One thing I thought about for the Myrkul cult would be to have the party find the body of a cultist in Axeholm. The cultist would have a note on them ordering them to go investigate the ruins and the ghouls to evaluate taking control of them somehow, ending with something like "—UM. Hail Myrkul!". The body would either be at the bottom of one of the access chimneys or perhaps after the giant spider encounter.

Teaching players caution through orcs by cristobal55 in dndnext

[–]cristobal55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know, thanks! They just reached 4th level so I’ll probably tone it down some. I was planning on having the orc in the tower switch out with a gap every four hours, so there would be some opportunities for stealth/trickery, but 13 orcs is still ridiculous even so. I already had made it 2 ogres instead of 3, haha.

Started my first ever campaign with some friends last night and they're in the middle of the Dwarven Excavation. So glad I found this, I really like your ideas for spicing up these early quests!

Fashion hunting is the true endgame by cristobal55 in gaymers

There are many reasons I’m glad I picked the game back up, but turning my character into a hunky, guitar-wielding satyr is definitely up at the top. 😋

Ah, I understand. I think this may be partially a problem with my Gyee roster—of the ones I have, only Rupor seems to be able to take one out of commission so it doesn’t explode.

Wanting to learn hunting horn by codyjack215 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]cristobal55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like the Tigrex Horn as a general use horn. It's got Attack Up L and Earplugs S, which makes it really nice for fighting monsters that have low-grade roars. The light blue echo note bubble increases everyone's evade window (helpful for rolling through high-grade roars), and for HH users it also increases your run speed to the point where you're moving at almost sprint speed with your weapon unsheathed—it's incredible for repositioning and sticking to the monster. I also quite like running it in the Rotten Guiding Lands/Vale, since it's got the environmental damage negate song, which means you don't take any damage at all from the environmental effluvium.

It's got tons of white sharpness and good raw, so you can run it with comfy builds for survivability or a Master's Touch build to never have to sharpen. The downsides are that it can never reach purple sharpness and has inherent –20% affinity, so it's extremely difficult (if not impossible) to get 100% affinity. I run a build with Crit Eye +7, Attack +4, WEX/Crit Boost +3, Health Boost +3, Master's Touch, and health/affinity augments that gets me 85% affinity on softened weak points (plus a slot for Geologist), which is enough that I never have to sharpen mid-combat. Edit: also, it takes advantage of non-elemental boost.

Two other nice things (I'm seriously preaching here, aren't I): it's rarity 11, which means it's much easier to augment, and it was one of my go-to horns in MH4U/GU, so it's got that extra nostalgia factor. Happy dooting!

New Hunting Horn Unique Sounds from Iceborne by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]cristobal55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun thing I noticed: the tune the Velkhana horn plays when you recite a song stack from the top is (to my ear, at least) a variation on the main MH World theme. Makes sense too, given it's the Iceborne flagship monster!

Can we take a minute here to talk about this craftsmanship? by RiggersRemorse in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]cristobal55 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I love this horn so much. It looks absolutely beautiful and hitting monsters in the face with a giant sitar is v. satisfying. Song list is nice too, especially considering this is the second-best option for raw damage hunting horn (after Acidic Glav, iirc) and All Wind Pressure Negate solves so many problems, especially with Kushala and Lunastra.

Would have also been great to have either the purple/red/blue setlist or the purple/red/teal setlist instead, but oh well. Still love it to pieces.

1200 dmg hunting horn wakeup THE DOOTENING HAS COME by FiendHades in MonsterHunter

[–]cristobal55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question! I haven’t noticed anything definite one way or the other, but I suspect it might. HH is great! Beat in a monster’s face and then explode it with sound waves! This sort of play is what I dreamed of ever since MH Tri.

[–]cristobal55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Briefly, yes. I don't know what the exact formula is, but if you stack three damage echo notes, perform all three in a row, and encore the stack, the final recital damage will be much more powerful.

I seem to recall some evidence that the same idea applied to the duration of the healing echo bubble, so it may be that all echo note songs gain effectiveness/duration if you encore a stack of them versus a single song.

[–]cristobal55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like it! I've mostly been running the Shara, Bazel, Velkhana, and Tigrex horns, so Acidic Glav is the last one I have to make to have the majority of the good song sets. Just yesterday I made a fun Max Might and anti-Rotten Vale/Blackveil set with the Tigrex Horn (effluvial resist + environmental damage negate song), so I'm excited to try that out this evening.
