    Hey anyone disappointed by Katie loot, check your bowguns.

    LBG and HBG each have about 3 guns which are straight upgrades to previous best guns.

    It's a great time to take up the pew pew
    is there anything comparable to karma

    before falling down the kulve hole i was contemplating doing a rapid fire and shotty build with karma

    course most of my bowguns are heavy

    HBG spread shotty builds are good too

    i wonder how the close of the event works

    it's theoretically possible to just run taroth sessions forever for gem farming, i think

    they'll presumably have to automatically complete it to cut it off

    I am sure the last option on the quest menu will just disappear when they turn it off.

    I expect there to be more sieges with both KT and with other large monsters.

    might be what they did at the end of the spring event. a small patch and the next time you log in you can't access it anymore. but eventually you get kicked offline too (at least, that's what happened to me trying to keep playing around when it rolled over)

    On the plus side, I will absolutely use that bow. I just need to read up on Blast builds. I wonder if a Blast/Partbreaker build is viable?

    I used that bow in an elementless, weakness exploit, crit boost build that's working out okay. I've only used it in Code Red so far. I wanna tru it on a bazel.

    Oh, yeah, the hidden blast bow. The one that's basically the arena bow, except they triple the blast, hide it, add a deco slot and make every other number bigger too.

    You know, I've wondered: what is the difference between status effect ammo like sleep 1 and its upgraded version like sleep 2?

    Do the effects last longer or does it just shorten the amount of hits it takes to take effect?

    The latter. It gives a bigger dose in one hit, but the sleep duration doesn't change.

    I haven't used status effect ammo, but I would assume you would want to use lower level status ammo up earlier on to proc the effect on the monster, and then the stronger ammo later on when they're more resistant? Does that make sense?

    Another last minute grind. Nothing.

    Kulve Taroth has won, secured victory in knowledge that she kept the one tiny item left I needed away from my grasp.

    This game has snatched my soul and it'll keep it in a jar until the next time this event comes around and it wants to taunt me with it.

    The desire sensor does not discriminate against the skilled or unskilled.

    It strikes out at both in equal measure. Punishing man for his hubris and lust for power.

    As an aside the past week and a half, I passively accumalated many Wyvern gems while hunting to complete the weekly bounties.

    I finally limit broke my tried and true GS set -- and dang does having that much defense really give me a lot more confidence against tempered Elders. Did Nergigate 1-Faint, 2 mans, and never really felt stressed.

    Meh. Last three KT breaks got me nothing of note (unless my third Water SnS was “of note”). Actually the last one itself was a timed out run that ended after the even did. Got 5 rewards, only 3 weapons, all R6. Oh well, I did get some fun stuff to try out.

  • useruser Registered User regular
    I woulda loved to have that Water SnS. I branched out from GS to learn Lance, and I happy to have Blue Prominence, Taroth Crest 'Claw' and Taroth Crest 'Thunder'. But my only functional SnS is the Grand Barong II. I need to figure out what to do with Legia's Rimespire and a new Free Element Set to use with Master Bang.

    yeah for a while i was stubbornly refusing to augment a full set

    partly lack of resources and partly some puritanical git gud hangup

    since running taroth i've figured i should start optimizing for the sake of other people at least

    tempered jho isn't hitting for 60% of my health now. shit's cray.
