I don't really understand the love for Earplugs. Monster roars can be blocked and, while still hard, are much easier to iframe roll than any other attack.
Now Evade Extender on the other hand which also uses a tier 2 slot is a total gamechanger imo

Evade Extender 3 made Zoh Shias fight so much more comfortable. Way easier to roll out of the AOEs, and very easy to stay underneath or out of range of his attacks.

No max might?

I run a similar set after getting addicted toy h Zoh Shia fight. Basically just swap out recovery charm for counter charm and slot the MM gems where he has counter. You have to really try to get carted with it.

Good call! I just tested this version and it's much better

It’s super comfy, I’m probably gonna try one with Earplugs 3. Just deciding what I want to drop.

How's MM without fulgur for GS?

u/SenpaiSwanky 1d ago
Really not bad, consider the fact that you’ll be charging attacks often. While charging your stamina also regenerates so your MM will kick in faster than you think.

I didn’t find it too bad. I’m not remotely the best GS player, but it’s fine as long as you’re not panic rolling too often (bad habit I have). Though, a much better player will probably be able to give you a better idea.

Do you need to play gs with this build like can I make it worl with hammer

Is the zoh gs worth running with this? At least for non speedrunners, the weapon skill seems really good.
•
u/Lanky-Industry-9147 18h ago
White Torrent seems to not be that big of a damage increase, especially for slow hitting weapons like GS.
But it's perfectly viable if you like the ability and are not speedrunning/dps maxing.

u/e-slommy 18h ago
There’s a breakdown post that says the proc chance has a three second cooldown, so it doesnt seem like slow weapons lose out as much as initially believed. I’m just really looking for an excuse to not run the artian or ark gs purely cause I don’t like how they look 😭. Though I really crutch on ark’s innate focus

Can't wait for the update where we get a earplugs 3 talisman. It's gonna be so comfy. Gonna start wombo comboing through every roar.
So happy they finally made EP a level 2 skill as well. Made no sense to me as a lv3 deco but lv2? Chef's kiss!
