Conservative Hitzone Rebalance

Loosely based on the current (as of May 2024) ICE mod hitzone rebalance, but with fewer changes in general. See their page for a link to a hitzone spreadsheet.

Kulve and Safi are the only monsters where this rebalance mod has the same changes as the ICE rebalance, all credit to the ICE devs for those.

All base world monsters with MR versions have their MR hitzones restored to LR/HR values, unless stated otherwise.

See the images for all changed hitzones. A few aren't listed because it'd be easier to explain them here:

- MR Kulve Taroth: ICE values

- Safi: ICE values

- Lavasioth:

- All heated water hitzones increased by 5

- All wounded water hitzones equal to new heated water hitzones

- All wounded physical hitzones equal to heated physical hitzones

- Back/legs/tail lava armor fire hitzones increased from 10 to 25

- Blackveil: All non-zero fire and dragon hitzones increased by 10

- Namielle: All dehydrated fire hitzones increased by 20

I recommend against using this online unless playing with other people also using this mod.

As this is somewhat intended to obsolesce the clutch claw, I would also recommend using a mod to remove clutch claw stagger from the game.

Version 1. 0. 1: Realized a little while back that some of these changes were still a bit too much for me to really consider them conservative, so I reverted several physical hitzone buffs and added a few new elemental ones. You can still find the old hitzones in the old files section, and I've added labeled images if you want to see what those were. The hitzones changes listed in the description are still the same.

Version 1. 0. 2: Removed Velkhana's changes due to it causing weird crashing in the AT Velk fight. Why was it causing crashes? Hell if I know, might've been something to do with AT Velk's aura mechanic. As far as my two hours of testing could find, the crash would only happen on one attack: the one where AT Velk twirls away from you and while creating a semicircle of ice walls, then taunting afterwards. Attempting to attack during that taunt window resulted in a crash. If you don't plan on fighting AT Velk ever then you'd probably be fine using version 1. 0. 1. Otherwise you'll just have to settle for vanilla Velk hitzones. Unfortunate, but it's not a huge difference so eh whatever.

Installation:

Just copy the contents of the nativePC folder into your nativePC folder.
