Wurt's All-Weather Scales skill is bugged or just garbage?

[ALCRD]

I still need to cling to a Thermal stone for my dear life when wet during Spring and Autumn rains.

All-Weather Scales doesn't seem to do much to solve this. If at all.

It's because it doesn't prevent freezing it just lowers the amount wetness affects you I brought this up in her beta but it was never addressed if the temp gets close to freezing she'll still freeze when wet and it also reduces the amount wetness helps with overheating since the stat change is static overall it's a terrible ability...

Wurts fish holding ability is how you solve freezing for her. All weather scales is just a bonus that makes it easier to use her other wetness perks.

That's sad.

Guess Wurt is forever doomed to be glued to a thermal stone / thermal fishes during wet days.

And that skill is as useful to her as a bicycle to a monkey.

Which is still useless as there's not really a good way to maintain wetness without over investing into it. Even then the same material needed for water balloons could be used on bloodshots which are better for recovery anyway. The sanity and hp regen scale based on how wet Wurt is and she doesn't have a way to retain wetness passively this also makes the wetness armor feel like a bad deal since that could also be solved by bloodshots while also giving you access to a really good weapon in mosquito bombs and farming help in fertilizer. Despite how big the branch is there's not much benefit from it at all.

You can maintain wetness by having a boat nearby and jumping off the plank.

They should have just ler her swim in the sea on demand...

but they'll never do that since too many ocean functions and threats check for the boat a player is on

Well.. you can build a grass raft, and you can use a wooden oar to intentionally mistime your rowing and get full wetness.

Outside of that I imagine that the boat fire pump (the sprinkler system that needs spittle fish to craft but can also be crafted on dry land not on a boat) would also work?

You guys have got to get more creative.. but even if there ARE ways to gain intentional wetness, it doesn’t make the skill tree branch as a whole any better.

Yea that's what i've been doing in this playthrough. I have a nice spot between Swamps and Savannah with beefs, near northern coast so i use the boat to splish splash my wetness up when needed.

But quickly stopped because the still freezing when even half wet in Autumn and Spring with All Weather Scales skill is just... I was convinced the skill is bugged or something. But no apparently it's just that weak.

How has nobody mentioned fashion melons yet? They let you retain however much wetness you have. So, you just jump off a boat once, wear a fashion melon, and you no longer have to worry about your wetness decaying. Use a marble or thulecite suit for armor (as this reduces the amount of your wetness getting hit makes you lose) and you will literally not take damage until it breaks.

Ice cube also does this both with their own downsides fashion melons cost Wurt sanity not enough to completely counter the sanity gain but not by a small amount either it also requires you to grow watermelons and while yes you can wear higher damage reduction armor to get more mileage out of the wetness armor do you not realize how much extra effort is going into making a skill you spent that many skill points on somewhat functional?

Also wurt has to jump off twice for full wetness

Huh. I'm gonna try that Marble Melon combination.

Marble Melon.. why does that word combination sound familiar.

I think the effort requirement is honestly fair. You're probably farming anyway if you're playing Wurt, and literally taking zero damage in exchange for prep time is quite strong.
