    Howdy :)

    I've been hunting a lot of Pianus to try and get the Pianus Scale required for Bosshunter Armour and I've noticed a few things.

    Firstly, Pianus likes spamming weapon/magic cancel. A lot. I recorded my last right Pianus kill and wrote down every cancel:
    00:00 Started recording, already weapon cancel
    00:15 Weapon cancel ended
    00:56 Magic cancel
    01:31 Magic cancel ended
    01:34 Weapon cancel
    02:06 Weapon cancel ended
    02:21 Weapon cancel
    02:55 Weapon cancel ended
    03:13 Magic cancel
    03:48 Magic cancel ended
    04:01 Weapon cancel
    04:35 Weapon cancel ended
    04:40 Weapon cancel
    05:14 Weapon cancel ended
    05:50 Weapon cancel
    06:24 Weapon cancel ended
    06:29 Weapon cancel
    07:02 Weapon cancel ended
    07:29 Weapon cancel
    08:03 Weapon cancel ended
    08:07 Magic cancel
    08:42 Magic cancel ended
    08:58 Weapon cancel
    09:32 Weapon cancel ended
    09:54 Weapon cancel
    10:28 Weapon cancel ended
    10:43 Magic cancel
    11:03 Pianus killed

    Needless to say, it's tedious. Would it be possible to tone it down a little.. Maybe get it to stop cancelling 5 seconds after the last one just ended or lower the cancel duration. Left Pianus doesn't seem nearly this bad to me.

    Secondly, the weapon/magic cancel icon is very high up. It's kinda difficult to see unless you're stood on the platforms. Here's a 100% hp weapon cancelling pianus to demonstrate. Damage is also displayed around the same area.

    Thirdly, Sila's NL guide says right pianus is incapable of dispelling or sealing but he does both.
    Also, please buff the Pianus Scale droprate :-/ So far I've killed around 10 and I've received about four 5k NX tickets, 2 Miniature Pianus, 1 Dragon's Breath 20 skillbook and 1 Blue Varuna. Kinda hopeful I'll get a Blue Neos Pants at some point!

    Thanks for reading 0:)

    Inu when you were recording the right pianus cancels, was it alone or was there left pianus present at same time?

    Update:
    Left Pianus can also use cancel 5 seconds after the last cancel has ended.

    Both of them only drop singular units of stuff like reindeer milk/sunset dews. Maybe make it a stack?

    Also I got scale on the 11th kill :o

    I think there's a range on the dispell for the right pianus. Because when I fight it on my NL and stand on the platform, I've never been dispelled before. But yesterday when I got knocked into the fish during its dispell animation, that's when I actually got dispelled.

    Pianus is such a jerk. He also doesn't spawn often enough :(
