Have people that are burning out considered, y'know, taking a break?Go play the stuff in your backlog anons, MH is the type of game where you can burn yourself out hard and its better to stop before you end up hating the game.

>>507493145Something something perfectly balanced

>>507494521I just got Trials of Mana today, I think I might play that until Alatreon comes out.

>>507494932The number of unfun monsters definitely outweight the fun ones though

im going to hunt raging brachydios guys

>>507496164gitgud faggot

>>507489660I'll admit I used a cheat mod, but in my defense I've cleared everything pre-Iceborne on PS4. It still took 30 hours to get to Iceborne even with a weapon that had 17000 damage. Just started iceborne and holy shit every single monster has fucked my ass. They didn't hold back this time.

>>507489660Capturing is for bitches.

>>507497075How is it going?

>>507493145>90% of a monster's design is good>but there's a single move it uses or spams thats absolutely insufferable and makes the fight awful

>>507498198Viper Tobi with a greatsword was hell because of his floaty shit.

Holy shit, switch axe is fun to play

>>507498392>forget to bring poison resist>realize that just about every twitch of his tail that has a hitbox applies poisonThere's just some monsters that feel boring to fight with a single status resist skill and are a fucking chore without it. MR stuff like flashes being next to useless doesn't help either.

>>507507810>helm splitter randomly doesn't deal any damageHehNothen personnel

>>507507917Just don't miss bro.

>>507507917helmsplitter has a really long animation

>>507500063scrub

>>507508151Animation is not even the problem, the problem is that it can randomly deal almost no damage even if you hit the target.I assume it's also a framerate issue since it happens on PS4 more than on PCI wish they used the Sakura Slash as a big finisher

>>507513578and all the damage ticks are spread across whatever you hit on the way down. If you wait until the last moment to swing, they'll all stack up at once on the landing point.

>>507514075no, basically target has to be still for a certain amount of time for all hits to register, that's why sometimes you get them all spread across the monster instead being in one spot.

I don't think I've even fought Shara 5 times or bothered to make the full armor set to play around with the bonus should I even bother?

>>507515675Bonus isnt worth it unless you want to farm lunastra because it neuters her entire kit if you bring a fire mantle.Cool armor tho for fashio.

>>507517970whats even tranny about astral chain?Not who you replied to, just genuinely curious

>>507517032Why do people think you absolutely positvely have to have guard up at all times. The only monster I run guard up against is kulve and even then I just sheathe and run away from the lava pools and have plenty time to do so with his bitching about the sheathe speed.

>>507520560Don't reply to bingposters

I'm MR 400/HR 700 and I think I'm not good enough. I main GS and dabble in Hammer and bowguns. I feel like I always tackle too early, and I only roll roars like a third of the time unless I get Evade Window. I still habitually roll out of tackles instead of side slapping first. I don't JWS often enough. I basically never slinger burst.How do I get better?

>>507522568just hunt more broslinger burst on GS eventually becomes second nature

>>507522568How many hunts on gs?

>>507522791like 1250. >>507522687I have a shitload of hunts is the problem- I feel like I'm getting bad habits reinforced.

>>507522568play more reactionary, GS is a slow weapon you can't just go full retard

>>507522568GS was fucking ruined with TCS faggotry and turned into a passive aggressive weapon

What happened to Alatreon update?Did they delay it to June due to Corona-chan?

>>507523582>only to JuneOh, sweetie...delayed indefinitely, and yes, due to the virus

>>507523283That's the thing- Going full Retard is *working* I see the shit in youtube.com/watch?v=IcLCSSHc1Z4But i just never seem to be able to apply it.

>>507523582Possibly, I can see it coming as a part of the summer festival but depending on how things go it might be further than that.I'm sure not looking forward to plaing MHW on summer though, my shitbox will probaby melt.

>>507523726stop shilling this shit video you fucking niggerFUCK OFFit's trash and so are you

I can't fucking play online anymore, there's always some absolute shitter who triplecart

>>507523726it doesn't work against a lot of mobile monsters and you need good monster moveset knowledge to fully apply itAgainst something like ruiner nergi who flinches and trips a ton it's absolutely perfect, but against most monsters you'll be charging a JWS and then doing a tentative slinger burst into roll away

>>507523726I'm yet to see people actually pulling their weight trying to use combo GS instead of just using frostcraft

>>507523726faggotshill kill yourself>not being able to slingerburst-TCS on tripped monster after 1200 huntsseriously, just kill yourself

>>507514727Dead fucking game.lets pray for MH6 shall we

>>507524217>tfw Safi lets you combo GS AND frostcraftGood feel.

>>507523923>>507524665Nigger it's not my video. If it was, why would I advertise footage of playing during the beta. And I can Burst into TCS, I meant I feel like I don't do it often enough, or following up from anything other than a draw swing. >>507524093My other thing is that I always fuck up tackle timing. I always get Roar'd on from tackling too early and feel like a retard. What's the best way to practice that? >>507524217I use Frostcraft on shit like Rajang since I'm not the best at timing the TCS so that it hits just as they are standing up to re-stagger them again. The problem is that a Tackle eats into that frostcraft bar and I want to be able to tackle through attacks.

>>507525225You could do that even before Safi if you had top tier decosIt's just even sillier now because you can have 100% crit on weakpoints, frostcraft, focus 3 and a free talisman on top of it for something like evade window.

>>507525321>The problem is that a Tackle eats into that frostcraft barEven if your frostcrft is below 50% you still deal the damage of typical ultra-minmaxed no fun allowed meta tranny set despite having more comfiness so it's not a problem.

>>507524217it's not great against every monster but it is really fun to play.i'm a pretty bad player as evidenced in the video, but you can see a lot of the stuff you can do with ityoutu.be/-57OCpnVxiI

>>507524217So frostcraft GS is viable? Was planning on grinding a safi GS with vhelkana set on it so I could keep the Crit boost from my kulve taroth legs and arms.

>>507525545Not really- The normal set that I run has 20 more raw and purple sharpness vs the white of the Velk set. If I do a standard M1+W combo into TCS, following up with a tackle-Strong-TCS is going to zero out my bar. Also, on that note, what's the best skill to put on your Frostcraft sets after- Wex- Crit Eye- Health Boost- Fortify- Crit Boost- Focus- Coal 1I can get fucking Guts in there if I really wanted it, so I'm wondering what's nice there- Tremor resist for Rajang i know is a given.

If I don't want to spam slide attcks, is there any reason to play Hammer?

>>507526456>20 more raw and purple sharpnessWhich translates into what, ~7% damage over the zero frostcraft gauge GS?

>>507526249Frostcraft GS is great. The trick is to build for 100% affinity like usual so you can still combo when you can. Just do draw attacks or draw charges when the monster is up, and when you have a huge opening, draw->slinger burst->TCS for big dick damage numbers.

>>507526456here are some search results of stuff I can put in theremhw.wiki-db.com/sim/?hl=en#skills=Health Boost Lv3,Coalescence Lv1,Critical Boost Lv3,Critical Eye Lv7,Focus Lv3,Weakness Exploit Lv3,Fortify Lv1,Frostcraft(Velkhana Divinity+4),Agitator Lv5,Geologist Lv1&s=1&e=1&v=10&g=13&w=LV4 Slot Weapon&ws=Velkhana Divinity&d=0&rf=-100&rw=-100&rt=-100&ri=-100&rd=-100&l=200https://mhw.wiki-db.com/sim/?hl=en#skills=Health Boost Lv3,Critical Boost Lv3,Critical Eye Lv7,Focus Lv3,Weakness Exploit Lv3,Fortify Lv1,Frostcraft(Velkhana Divinity+4),Coalescence Lv1,Guts(爛輝龍の真髄+2),Agitator Lv5&s=1&e=1&v=10&g=13&w=LV4 Slot Weapon&ws=Velkhana Divinity&d=0&rf=-100&rw=-100&rt=-100&ri=-100&rd=-100&l=200For GL and non-GL alike. Also, the difference between a Frostcraft set and a non-frostcraft set with that shit is ~690 EFR vs ~820 EFR.

>>507524217Judging even by TA videos, I see people using both frostcraft hit and run and tackle-slinger wiggling on different occasions.I guess GS is now like a CB, where you can go savage axe for combos or SAED artillery for shitzone monsters or something which has a lot of weakpoints, like Ruinerg.

>>507526816It is an extremely gimmicky build which requires some good decos, Drachen arms, affinity augment and Velkhana essence on Safi GS.

>>507489660I really don't like the really fantasy like endgame monsters in newer MH games. I think it was around 3 where they started making the last few major monsters too overdesigned.

>>507528413It does require some god decos, but it's doable. You might have to forego Agitator but you can get WEX, Crit Boost, and a lot of affinity, and Focus 2 without too much trouble.

>>507526673>>50752804215-19% depending on how much QoL you use on your masters Touch set. That's not insignificant, especially as the Frostcraft charge is only 30% of a buff. This is also completely discounting the Safi GS that can put resentment on- That shit has 26% more damage at the cost of feeling fucking horrible to play. This is what I might look at for the Frostcraft GS nowadays-honeyhunterworld.com/mhwbi/?1910,241,228,277,222,277,81,aff:1;health:1;elem:1-;;;;-at5;at5;at6;sh5;1crttt:1frst,0,0,158,0,0,14,90,0,323,30,0,339,339,0,283,30,0,226,30,30,5:16:10:27:27:27:27Can't fit more than 9 raw in there oddly, and to do so requires running no QoL At least not without relying on Critical Draw for affinity. If I want Health Boost 3, I can only get 6 raw. This version has Divine Blessing 3, Quick Sheathe 2, and Flinch Free, on top of fucking Guts. >>507528413What are you talking about. See build. It's not *that* gimmicky. >>507526249It's alright. Not dethroning Masters Touch+purple sliver builds for those with optimal play, but it's not bad by any means. See discussion/ranting above.

>>507529382You achieve focus 3 by a focus charm.

>>507529058>Akantor>Ukanlos>Not overdesignedI'll give you that the designs became more outlandish on average since third gen thoughStill, MHW's designs for endgame stuff are a lot tamer than fourth gen designs on average, see things like Dalamadur or Ace Combat Dragon, even things like Tetsucabra or Kecha Wacha are a lot more flamboyant than Anjanath or Legiana.

>>507529721Gen 1 and 2 in general feels like it has a unique feel and flavor to it. It felt serious, grounded and even dark sometimes, yet it punctuated and thus made better the outlandish shit like weapon designs, joke weapons, concepts, monsters and locations. Monsters were simplistic yet memorable. Crabs are simple yet cool and threatening. Monkeys, especially Rajang, are still among the fan favorites. Even shitmons like Plesioth and Gypceros had distinct features.Frontier, even though peolle shit on it, still retained some of the elements of Gen 1/2 design philosophy even with the overdesign meme present.

>>507530612Why is Gypceros so hated? I feel like he's not even hard enough to warrant frustration

>>507531084"Not hard just annoying" meme. At least in Freedom 1 his AI was retarded. He would waste time by spamming his "world tour" move which boiled down to him running back and forth across the entire zone 3-4 times, not even directly charging at you, just fucking around with you not being able to do anything about it besides trapping him, then he would fly and make pointless laps around the location, but in the air this time. Also shitboxes on his tail. Plus a bunch of shit ailments like stun, poison and steal in one monster.

>>507531084Also he is resistant to shock traps.

>>507529058Tri monsters hit the perfect middle ground in terms of aesthetics, it wasn't until the later third generation games that things started to get flashier.

>>507492330God knows when Alatreon is going to come out now.

>>507530612>Gen 1 and 2 in general feels like it has a unique feel and flavor to it.It's largely the colour pallete used for monsters, you didn't see things with bright neon colours or just plain odd colour schemes like Brachy, Malfestio or Jho, and I feel World is a step back to that kind of philosophy too, especially talking about monsters like Gyppy who worked monstly on charm points rather than extravagant and overly detailed designs as a whole, see Anja's synux or Odo's freddy krueger skin.>Frontier, even though peolle shit on it, still retained some of the elements of Gen 1/2 design philosophyDepends, for most of its expansions, yeah, it kept the designs rather tame, but then we got plenty of crappy looking stuff like Rukodiora or just plain unapologetical fantasy shit like Eruzerion or Inagami who would fit something like God Eater a lot more than MH, let alone horrible, horrible shit like Diorex.

>>507529058Safi is such a stereotypical red dragon my group reflexively calls it smaugh.

>>507515927You may not reply but I make that mistake often. You had two options: rolling or guarding. I always forget the latter. I have the bad habit of constantly sheathing the weapon as soon as I get up

>>507531912>AlatreonRetard

From the bottom of my heart, FUCK Share Ishvalda. I fucking broke her scalp TWICE and I still haven't had a single fucking gem from her, and I need two. Fuck this shit boss fight, fuck this grindfest, fuck capcom, and fuck you.

>>507534214Shara is only fun the first time. Afterwards she's an annoying gimmick fight.

>>507534128Alatreon is literally just a classic European dragon with fancy horns in terms of visual design, it's not even remotely over the top

>>507534214You know you can meld those, right user?

>>507534316It's even more fucking retarded when breaking her scalp online is pretty much impossible, so you have to go through her huge fucking healthpool alone, and spend half the fight just focusing on her head. Fuck this gay fight

>>507534214Did the thing drop off mid battle so you could carve it? If it did, I'm sorry for your shit luck. I did that fight a couple of times and had enough for the complete armor set, then one more time for a weapon

>>507490148Don't forget the /vg/ where people pretend they know what they are talking about.

>>507498392>tempered viper immediately paralyzes if he bites you

>>507538089Is capcom doing an announcement on a game or something?

>>507538226Best lances are the Lightbreak (Raging Brachidios) and Safi lances.

>>507514580I took a long break from lance but when I got back to it, I had some fun sticking to the monster like a thorn. But admittedly I stopped playing it and switched to SnS in the first place because I got tired of it.

>>507539017No im just repeating a stupid meme. Chances are its not going to be announced until its pretty much complete. They should still be in the early stages of production right now.

>>507490226I had some fun transmogging armor and weapons, but now I'm just kicking back until Alatreon. I think I'll finish God of War

>>507537298sounds so generic

>>507532087It won't be long methinks, they said some versions would have simplified dialogues, I think Alatreon was mostly done when the first trailer dropped, I think June is a fair bet

I can play MHFU and MH4U all day, why does MHW have no soul?

>>507544362Don't worry, as your MR grows Shara will appear constantly and you will never hear Seliana's comfy theme ever again

>>507544052Alright, thanks.

>>507526619Part of mastering hammer is knowing how to get damage in when you can't slide around, and if there are no ledges around. I was pretty good at this in base World, but IB has humbled me with the faster speeds and all that. I heard that slinger burst is useful for lining up shots on more spastic monsters, but the regular slinger ammo doesn't seem to do much.

>>507545028yep you need crystalburst/piercing pods/thorn pods/whatever and you can pretty consistently get an uppercut or BBB depending on how the monster usually flinchesslinger bombs aren't actually that helpful because it's a delayed explosion and the monster tends to move out of position before they stagger it

What's your favorite fight user? For me it has to be ragy brachy. He keeps you on your toes the whole fight and he doesn't really have any bullshit move.

>>507549009I hate the tail slam when it is primed. The range on it makes any attempt at rolling behind him eat a fuckton of damage. That, and the supersonic roar detonation evaporates you unless you sheath and run away after the first warning it gives you. Otherwise, you get stunned and smeared across the cave walls.

>>507549987I like to fight him with SA and IG and I tend to have his tail off by the time he's zoned to the area before his final showdown, makes him more bearable

>>507549009AT Xeno, just because it shit on all the 100% aerial IG players who never learned how to do any damage. Even though it was possible to solo with aerial IG.Favorite monster to hunt is Bazelgeuse.

Alright, I'm tired of playing almost nothing but GL and want to learn something else. What should I choose between SA, SnS, and CB?

>>507551543>SA, SnSFun>CBResource management hell

>>507551543The Chad Blade.

>>507549987Just don't attack him from behind like Lunastra and go for pokes by his sides or between his legs instead, the slam also becomes ridiculously weak after cutting his tailyou also simply should not go full grug in his final phase and avoid the slime

>>507551543The Chad Axe.

>>507551543SA with evasion skills for maximum mobility. Picked it up recently after mostly using CB, and it's a lot of fun.CB is great, but you probably want something faster after GL.SnS is fun in theory, but it's tiny range makes it annoying to use, at least for me.

>>507545694Please don't bully them.

Okay seriously, how are you supposed to fight Silver Los without a ranged weapon in World? Literally 90% of its moveset involves flying around like a faggot. Breaking the wings does nothing, Flash bombs work like once, what the hell are you supposed to do? Silver Los has steadily become more of a faggot as the games progressed, but this is some top tier garbage.>>507542135>equip Intimidator>faggot flying wyverns still bumrush me like a Rathian going after her eggsWhat the fuck man

>>507554549i just repeatedly clutch claw tenderize attack the wings and legs and I rarely get thrown off, sure it's shit dps but it's fucking something at least

Please give me tips on the Heavy Bowgun, I tried it once in a group hunt against Teostra and it didn't really go well. Basic ammo does 0 damages if I don't hit the head, and maybe 20 when I do, which is ridiculously low. Should I switch to KB+M while playing with this weapon ? Do I ignore the normal ammo completely ? How do I survive when the monster's aggro is on me ?Pic related, at least the hunt ended on a cool killscreen.

>>507521091I have a bunch builds for different weapons i cant be assed to make a duplicate build for each one with a shield to have no guard up

>>507555146>traps on ElderscuteAlso I fucking hate gunning Teo, but I'm fairly sure the way to go for him is to go Spread.Pierce is nice for long tube-like monsters like any fish or Anjanath or something.No idea of Normal is actually decent in World. Normal 1 should never, ever be fired regardless.Stack offensive skills. Shot type up, Weakness Exploit, Agitator, Crit Eye, the works. Extender is nice to get into position and out of the line of fire.

>>507555146HBG is either for Sticky or for Spread, you want to build specifically for the ammo you're using, you want Safi Burstcanon or Loyal Thunder for spread and Angry Rajang for sticky, for normal you want Lightbreak Canon LBG or Kulve "Support"

>>507555570Normal builds are actually pretty good for Teo I've found. I have a shitty thrown together normal build but it hits for 200+ a shot. That combined with the low recoil and reload of the rajang HBG is solid dps.

>>507556423Haven't actually played with Normal yet, is N3 still a ricocheting shot and N2 the go-to ammo for most situations?

I want Bloodbath Diablos back bros...

>>507556552I've only done a few runs with it, but it doesn't seem to ricochet anymore from what I can see.

>>507557098That's a shame. Old N3 was situational, but damn if it wasn't nice when the situation arose.

Is Power Phial best for SA? Also what Safi SAs should I go for? I have Dragon and Paralysis.

>>507558980Blast and poison

>>507558980Considering exhaust phials basically do not exist, yeah.

>>507555570>>507556552Normal ammo is more niche than elemental ammo. It’s works against monsters keep their side towards you or flyers like Kush and Raging. The main drawback is that it does half the damage of Spread and you still have to build for 100% affinity outside of WEx similar to Pierce.

>>507515927Thumbnail looks like a buff female huntress crushing a monster between her thighs.

>>507559562So in the end it's a safer alternative for Spread on things you don't want to get too close to, but in exchange you drastically lower your offense.

>>507565198with evade reload 2, getting it to 2 shots and building around crit, normal shots and stamina skills it's pretty fun, probably about as effective as playing a mid-tier weapon, I dislike how cheesy guns feel normally so maybe that's why I like it so much

>>507563417Clearly you've never watch a DB or SnS player deal with shrieking legiana

Why does poison even exist?Seems like it does a pathetic amount of damage and isnt worth using ever. I remember in the old games it could fuck up Kushala and disable his wind shield, but in World does Poison do anything special like exhaust a monster, or slow down how often it attacks? Anything at all?

Attached: MH jotail.jpg (394x474, 34.22K)

>>507566251You get an extra bit of passive damage, not a lot but enough that it may tilt the fight in your favor

>>507566251Legiana, Uragaan and Shara take significant chunks of damage from poison.Also the Pukei hammer is weirdly good even without the poison so yeah.

>>507565198Thanks, I was checking out the dash dancing but none of the posts I read mentioned the spread shot thing, I guess they assumed everyone knows about it from base World and I only started using it recently.

>>507565505>He doesn't knowYou must be new to MH

>>507566251I believe you can exhaust the monster faster if it gets poisoned

Which weapon type inflicts the most element/status?I want to say dual blades deal the most element/status damage, but my switchaxes can sometimes inflict status effects a ridiculous amount of times in a single hunt.

>>507566251Per proc it's more damage than blast, just does it over a period of time instead of instantly.

>>507566251I think actually building for poison isn't usually a good idea, but poison bombing or environmental poison can sometimes be pretty nice extra damage.

>>507566251poison increases exhaustion Im pretty sure and the proc damage is pretty good

>>507566251iirc, each poison proc shaves off 10% of a monster's total HP pool, so it's pretty good.

>only armor sets in the game that buff poison at all are rathian set that extends poison time, and Crit Status/True Crit StatusGay. Wheres my super poisonus monster to give me an armor set that makes poison deadly.

>>507566698Yeah, learning that there were combos that make you regain stamina really ACTIVATED bow for me. You can keep dumping out damage while regaining your sauce for big combos.>>507566961Element is between bow and DBs, and it might be because I'm a bowfag but I think it's in bow's favor unless DB lands a ton of full demon dances.

>>507566251Poison is weirdly effective vs. Shrieking Legiana. It makes him vomit, on top of the damage.

>>507561336Barioth was just another monster for me. I didn't know he was considered a filter until way later. Practically every Iceborne monster runs around like a sperg anyway, what makes Barioth so much different from Tigrex or Nargacuga?

>>507569954Raging Brachy is a real bitch to fight for everyone the first few times until you get all his moves down. And even when you get good at him, a simple fuckup can mean getting rekt and carting. Id say hes almost harder to fight alone because when he focuses on you he just leaves endless explosive goo puddles all around you.

Attached: MH bombcat.png (850x723, 67.46K)

>>507570469Tons of new players have never fought Barioth, Tigrex, etc. So fighting Barioth for the first time was something entirely new to them, and it can be hard if you arent prepared for it. Alot of people also didnt play the base game for like a year, so even thought they have 300 hours in the base game, they are almost starting all over again in iceborne and have to relearn everything. And then BAM, barioth quest while they are still struggling to make new master rank armor and weapons. Alot of people go into the quest still using highrank armor and weapons and get steamrolled.

>>507569954The worst part about Raging Brachy is the slime that leaks and immediately explodes when you hit the head and forearms, it's really annoying when you wound a part and it leaks jizzes all over the spot you land on. Otherwise it's not that bad, just bring blast resistance if you're worried.

>>507563417>there are no bad weapon matchupsThis is an example from past games, but fighting Teostra with Lance used to be utter cancer since his explosions would hit around your guard all the time, and he could literally charge past you and turn around and charge up your ass before you could sidestep out of the way without just cheesing it with Evade +2 (or 3 in 4U)As of World and Iceborne, indirect attacks like explosions are blockable regardless of the direction you face as long as you're blocking at all, and Guard doesn't suck so you don't need good timing on sidesteps anymore either.There's still shit like Dual Blades vs Kirin though where you can't reach the fucker's face half the time and his body doesn't take elemental damage when fully charged.

>>507584729YesNoIf this is your first MH and you don't intend on rushing to Iceborne, don't use the Defender equipment they offer you at the start of the game, it's an OP crutch meant to just rush through to the expansion for people who never finished the base game.

>>507597065Power guard doesn't end until you release the button, but you take more chip damage. Generally you don't counter multi-hit moves, you just guard against them. If you need to cancel your poke combo, then do the guard hop instead of a counter.

How do I unleash my inner unga with GS?

>>507597430>>507597506Ok, thanks and if the multi hitting move is on my wake up, I either delay my wake up or just straight Guard, right?

>>507598147I would start charging on a monster's back and release when it turns around of charge in its face and tackle when it attacks. That's as unga as I can think of

>>507598492Correct.

>>507538805823 Effective Raw is the standard meta set, fully buffed. The set i made with Agi 5, and the standard crit set of skills has 690 Effective Raw without frostcraft. Remember, Sharpness applies at the end, so the extra ~30something true raw correlates to quite a bit more Effective Raw.

>>507605282Don't get too used to it. I used it for most of Iceborne before beating Shara, but it's a crutch. You get used to having that one free faint and you no longer treat fights as seriously. So, while good for the first time on something, it's generally better to move away from it after you've gotten comfortable with a monster.

>>507605613Bad ideaYou can't build up another Poison while Poison is already tickingSo you still won't really get any more poison procs than you would just by bringing a poison weapon on its own.

>>507606617ok but why does our hunter get their own house as soon as the new site is set up in selianis? Its fucking massive too and has a hotspring and is fully furnished meanwhile everyone else lives in tents or some shit

>>507606018This is actually poison's saving grace, it can be built up while applied and will proc the next poison automatically if you got to the second threshold while the first poison is on the monster.

Do you have max potion materials on deck so you could craft and eat that shit on the fly? Watched a speedrun and saw a guy doing that, seems kind of OP

>>507606209>Getting this riled up over standard shitpostingCome on, son.Thing is, Vigorwasp cats are nothing more than crutches, pretty much any other accessory gives you more bang for your buck and as soon as you get decent enough to not cart every 10 minutes you'll see this.Orchestra can buff you and give you stun immunity, Plunderblade nets you free money and mats including rare shit like mantles or gems, Meowlotovs deals surprisingly okay damage, Shieldspire draws aggro away from you and even the cage nets you free traps and flashpods.Vigorwasps simply do not amount to much at the end of the day, there's a reason why hardly anyone uses that accessory after a while.

>>507606949There's little reason to use Mega Potions in combat when shit starts hitting for half your HP or more when you fuck up bad.You can power through anything less than that with regen on your weapon.

>>507606949absolutelyaggressive tempered monsters do not give you a chance to mega potion if you don't have speed eating slotted, and being under 50% hp is often death

>>507606970Plunderblade's mounting attack can also break hard parts on monstersEvery time I've fought Narga solo my cat has fucked up one of his wing blades entirely on his own

You Im not looking for much story or sense on MH games but, how can they justify that they are doing "research" and "protecting the environment" when they ask you to kill every monster that poses an annoyance and also having an arena dedicated to killing the monsters that you capture?

Attached: 1581496220064.jpg (1280x720, 545.62K)

>>507607450Is Banbaro mostly passive until you start fighting other monsters?

>>507606825>why commissions best and prized hunter gets a fancy ass room in a place he discovered to begin withGee i fucking wonder

>>507489660Place down bombs moron, wtf are you doing just standing around

>>507608467you can catch arena monsters too. Plus cullings are a thing. If a species starts to overpopulate they end up damaging the enviorment for everyone, themselves included thus killing them is needed. When you accept some hunt quests they mention "monster numbers are on the rise and we need research, two birds one stone"

>>507608467admiral makes sure the monster populations are steady

>>507608467Pretty sure in the story hunting monsters isn't an hourly occurrence

>>507608467If they made quests capture only an average worldsperm would seethe into primordial ooze and fail 99% of its quests, consider this muh gameplay

>>507608467Canonically you aren't killing five monsters in the span of 30 minutesAnd even if the reasons given by the person shelling out the reward are stupid it still has to get approved by the guild based on an actually danger posed or a need to cull the population or whatever

>>507609260People exclusively capture in World and Iceborne though. It's quite annoying, but understandable I suppose.

>>507606557Please?

>>507609562>quite annoyingWhat, too hard to not press a grug button and press 2 other buttons instead and save time?

>>507609562you save so much time caping and get more rewards i wouldn't go for capture so often if the monsters stayed in the same area without running.

>>507609830I simply prefer fighting the monster for the last of it's hp, rather than watching some guy spend a minute trapping it.I already said that I understand why they do it and I never said it was a problem at all. Grow up, user.

whats a fucking nice switch axe for me to layer over my shitty safi switch axe brosalso whats the best way to go about tripping a monster do i go for their legs wings heads or whatand should i be using slinger burst with my switch axe and if so how because i never really find a use for it apart from using it out of wild swing on raging brachy to avoid the slime fuck that feels good

>>507610283Honestly, I like the ore lines the most.All of my Swaxes are Ore lines with monster parts that go with whatever layered I'm using.

How do I get better awakening options for safi weapons than this 2/3 star bullshit I get currently?

>>507610473thats what im using at the moment because the big iron axes are very nice looking i was just hoping there was some fancy unique design that was actually nice that i hadn't noticed yet but i guess notwish switch axes had something as cool as the head hammers or the zinoguitar hunting horn

>>507610910>like GL and SA the most>gets fuck all design in World

Attached: i only peed a little.jpg (248x300, 59.42K)

>>507610283Safi axe is one of the coolest designs once its awakened thoughI've always liked Teostra's

>>507610283I unironically love the Shara and Golden Rathian designs. Playing for trips is really fun, specially Tigrex, Barrioth and Narga. For that you need to tenderize the legs/wings and attack with you powered up axe. For most elder dragons you need to go for the head tho.

>>507608519No, he's completely passive until you start being aggressive, and even then I was just hunting tempered Narga in the guiding lands, and he just came by, climbed up on a ledge and went to sleep. Didn't wake up until Narga roared right next to him, and that startle animation was cute.

>>507611203its fucking shit but hopefully before world dies we will get a nice switch axe assuming it gets any more fucking supportstill though my negro your taste in weapons is impeccable my man it took me nearly 250 hours but i finally found a weapon i fucking love and i fucking love my switch axei played all of low rank with a charge blade but eventually got bored of it because i dont really give a shit about shield weapons as i now realisethen played through the iceborne campaign with the greatsword but im a shitter and got tired of eating shit all the time and being so fucking slowdabbled in a gunlance and longsword because i fucking love explosions and i like the design of the longsword and the edgy weeb attacks were cool and i like having a big sword that moves slightly faster than a dead snailbut i finally saw the lighti FUCKING LOVE THE SWITCH AXEits got everything you needcomplexity and the novelty of mode switching from the charge blade without it basically holding your hand and telling you when to transform and use each modea huge fucking sword mode that hits like a truck and is fast too despite your limited mobilityand beautiful explosions where if you cant be fucked to deal with monsters just throw on a baby blanket and grug spam discharges in a monsters facesorry for the blog post but i feel like ive found my soulmate

>>507611339before i picked up the switch axe i saw posts in threads like these saying its shit and dead in world but clearly these people haven't experienced the joy of tripping tigrex and barioth into oblivion

>>507603770It’s bad, you can either use elemental ammo or go to the HBG for everything else.

>>507614264Its really nice but dont be mistaken, SA in World is dog shit, only with the buffs that it got from Iceborne has the SA become a comfy weapon.

>>507614264It was shit and dead until they buffed the shit out of it in iceborne

>>507612154I just picked up switch axe after 1700 quests with lance and I have no idea how I never touched this before. Slotting in some evade extender and power prolonger makes it incredibly satisfying to hang out in axe mode.

>>507614915>>507615137glad i started playing recently then and didnt have to deal with the absolute ass base game SA apparently was, I dont think i'd enjoy it nearly as much without my power axe mode

>>507615195fuck yeah man i never even really use the sword mode anymore, when i first started using it i would deliberately use the baby blankets to spam ZSD but as i got more comfortable using the axe and getting mad trips id forget my mantles were even thereplus rocksteady is usually a death sentence because im a scrub and dont know the safe zones for zsd on any monsters

>>507532886Wasn't he made for the 10th anniversary or something

>>507615195ZSD gives you earplugs 4, if you deco in a lvl 1 earplug monsters wont be able to scream you down. Power prolonger plus earplugs is perfct for ZSD spam, you could easily solo Velkhana in 8 min

>>507617336>>507618002I'm going to add to this, if you want to get rid of a monster who gets in your way, you can throw a banishing ball. You can obtain those at the elder melder. Mining and gathering spots aren't marked on the map and don't rely on the area level for the rarity of items you can get. Use a geologist set if you plan to mine/gather in bulk. Also just join other people's lands if you don't feel like farming and use the chat to ask if they can lure out any particular monsters you want.

>>507620152>what is power prolonger

>>507619998skeletons are hard. this is also why we don't have leviathans (lagiacrus, misutzune, etc.)

>>507619998The only excuse I have for them if they're only making a new framework with World, so expect more fun stuff in MH6

>>507619998Those all have unique skeletons and it's more time and money efficient to copy/paste

>>507608467You spamming quests isn't canon and the quest descriptions are just excuses for the guild to post a quest and also get some money while cultivating some good will. Guild Knights also exist to kill anyone who goes around the guild.

>>507620229Every minute and a half!!!!!!!!!!!

>>507618694Dragoon dive is all well and good but glaive just doesn't have much beyond that in terms of overall SOULHammer and GS have massive damage and stun potential, LS gets its flashy weeb I-frame combos and finishers, CB/GL/SA get their splosion finishers, etc.Glaive gets a jump that nets it a free mount and is pretty much useless thereafter. Damage is below average, bug is a fucking nightmare to put up with, pole vault doesn't save you from a whole lot of attacks. Thing's just half baked all around.

>>507621249use it with sns then, frostcraft is just a massive damage boost for sns with practically no gameplay changes

>>507619998World having actual grafix means it's a lot harder to make new monsters especially the weird ones that all have their own skeletons that they've been reusing for a decade in the other entries so we get a lot of samey monsters.

>>507620269>>507620272>>507620310So it's just due to technical limitations they haven't figured out? (assuming world is on a new engine or something). That's a boring answer.I was hoping there would like a dedicated subsection of each zone (like what Lavasioth and Jyuratodus had) for weird shit to hang out in but I guess that was just too much, here's hoping for the next installment.
