Zinogre and Stygian Zingre only require Earplugs 3 to nullify their roar.

Safe to assume Furious Rajang and Raging Brachidyos are level 4 and 5 Earplugs? Leshen and Ancient Leshen?

"Equipment that grants Earplugs: Weapons = None." While I assume they mean Earplugs (Skill), rather than the 'Earplugs' effect, it *is* worth noting that some hunting horns can provide protection against monster roars.

PLEASE UPDATE FOR ICEBORNE: Beotodus and Banbaro have a Weak Roar. All other new monsters have a Strong Roar. Variations, such as Viper Tobi-Kodachi, have the same roar as before. Tigrex's roar is not fully stopped with Earplugs 5, as it has a short-range damage and knockback effect in addition to the actual sound.

An absolute godsend when using HBG's sustained fire. Outside of that though most weapons can block/evade through the majority of roars.

Imo maxed earplugs is essential for probably almost every build lol

The level 3 on the gem refers to the kind of slot it takes, not to the level of the skill. Gems always give you 1 point in a skill, but it can require different slot levels (1, 2 or 3).

Well you are going to need lvl 4 anyway, for instance, while you are fighting an anjanath a nargacuga can come in just to say HAAAA!!! and BAAAA!!! it will do it a few times during the anjanath fight and if you don't have earplugs it can easily be a reason that gets you carted.... I speak from experience since it happened to me :/
