Rathalos EX

[InkstainedGwyn]

Yet again, the EX version is literally the same fight only with increased difficulty. If they "didn't make it EX" we'd simply have the exact same fight... twice? Why? Removing it altogether would give us less content, while being a slap in the face to people who do enjoy harder content (it's hard to consider the feelings of people who aren't you, I understand, but bear with me).

That leaves the only complaint being that the mount only comes from EX and not from NM. Which - again - extreme trials have been a thing since 2.x. It's a well-known feature of the game, and it's incredibly forgiving, given that you can literally solo farm unsync'd Garuda EX in <2m right now. Ravana can be done with 2-3 (I know it can be solo'd, but I can't yet on my RDM) in <2m.

You want the brand new hip item while it's still shiny, stand in line and buy it. If you don't want to stand in line and pay full price, wait until the next version comes out and buy it on sale. This game is insanely accessible to casuals, but that doesn't mean that every single item should be casual from the start.

I farmed with a standard party too, it really comes down to ppl actually being able to dodge.

Of my 66 clears, 12 were with one standard party with WAR (me), Bard, DRG, AST.
2 or 3 clears were with another standard party consisting of WAR (me), Bard (sister), other DPS, Healer.
First 2 clears with random standard parties from PF consisting of WAR (me), 2 DPS, Healer. These were the rough clears while learning... first one took the full timer to complete.
5 clears were with a full tank party consisting of 2 WAR and 2 PLD

Rest of my clears were with the 3 tank 1 healer setup. Though the comp varied somewhat. Typically 2 WAR (to fell cleave Garula to death), other tank to mount, any healer. My sister was usually the healer, and she tried both WHM and SCH, and ended up preferring to SCH.


I also had one fail party where I played DPS, but the environment was really toxic and the other DPS kept throwing blames out at everybody so I'm glad it eventually disbanded.

Think people just have to admit content is not for them,
If you want the mount that badly go farm it now or wait till 5.0 when its can be unsync,
But there isn't anything to complain about with rathalos EX its all about knowing his patterns like actual monster hunter.

Part of me doesn't want them to increase drop rate of the mount (since its just 50 scale +)but i can see them doing it in the middle of 4.4

Rath will give considerably more leway once you take the instagib by stuf + dot out of the equation, aye.
But the limit of 10 heals and 3 deaths will see to it that he cannot be facerolled.

[Zomkei]

anyone know if dots help fill the stun meter for rathos in last phase?

[Granyala]

I'd say the application does but I doubt that the individual ticks to. If they did, people would have fond out by now and the advice would be to stack all things ticking.

The second coming of the More Dots! meme? On another dragon to boot?

Almost a shame that's not how it works.
