Thinking of trying to do AT or Behemoth (not even considering Extreme) is intimidating and frustrating and is honestly putting me off playing. The difficulty spike in Behemoth makes me angry and I hate how long it potentially could take if my teammates weren't always dying and we could actually do it. Shitty.

What is Seregios was a girl that rapes Rathalos.
You know, as a joke.

just plunderblade and selectively break parts to get drachen, the FF astera music goes away if you kill behemoth

You can do it user, instead of putting you off from playing take it as a personal challenge and strive towards it. Regular tempered elders are fun but they're pretty easy, it's nice that there's very difficult endgame content. I'm sure you can find good teammates for Behemoth. Maybe in this very thread!

AT Xeno is the best one by far

Not him but I can't wrap my head around a lot of his attacks, because they cause random shit to explode. I find AT Nergi less stressful since all the attacks are straightforward. I just swapped to SnS Support and healed people in the AT Xeno fight, only attacking when it was absolutely safe because I couldn't wrap my head around his attacks

The armor is good?

Um, it's worth it. Trust me.

Negigandios. A Nergigante subspecies with gooey spikes that inflict blast status. Has a tendency to focus on breaking spikes off to attack, rather than using it's regular attacks. (Like how Rathalos focuses on fire attacks and Rathian more so on tail swipes)

Kushalostra. A Kushala Daora that has adapted to the volcanic areas of the world. All wind attacks now deal fire damage, inflict burn and deal constant heat damage to their surroundings.

Gnajar. A Rajang with backwards horns that has a very high tendency to do the attacks that jump backwards.

It won't be worth it at all (for me) if they don't fix the hub, quest systems, event quests rotations, maps, design variety and all those other tiny annoyances that build up.

I like the combat, but the rest of it leaves very much to be desired. Well, at least they're addressing the concerns about lack of monster variety and number.

Also, just let us transmog every armor without your stupid timed events already.

Stop going multiplayer for ATs. Seriously.

Or If you know how to use HBG spam spread shots

This. If for nothing more than the non-increased flinch rate.

>Stop going multiplayer for ATs. Seriously.
It's weird because before I jumped into MonHun (my first game was World) I was a Souls fan, and in those games I am very strict in not getting any help for the bosses or levels, not even the NPCs as it just results in way better gameplay. But in MHW I just find playing online so much fun, the team dynamic is great and I have way more fun fighting monsters online than solo. I don't even mind the SOS randoms, sometimes it can be a bit frustrating if they keep dying but I love the feeling of getting an AT clear with an underdog group. I picked up SnS support very recently and the ability to keep players alive fills me with joy.

All elder dragons including AT Xeno are for being bullied.

Just beat Xeno'Jiiva, should I jump right into the duo Bazelgoose quest?

chasing a 2.6x hp multiplier when pubs can't carry their weight on ATs that will one shot them is masochism

just go for it, it's not as bad as it sounds. Bazel on his own is easy enough when you can pay attention to dropped scales and two either means they fight each other or you dungpod one.

Arch-tempered monsters just give out tickets, right? I can just farm the regular version for parts?

its only PCfags constantly derailing. its the same in every MHW related forum. console players are chatting away about the game and suddenly a PC player sticks their nose in and goes 'uPdaTe fOr Pc wHeN? WhEreS uLtRa wIde sUpPoRT? SeConD cLaSs cItiZeNS REEEEE' and it all goes to shit

Can their scales damage each other? Like, if Bazel A bodyslams and blows up Bazel B? Or do they have all around fire resistance?

>Shota and lolishit automatically invalidate anything
okay tranny

They take no damage from fire iirc so it's just bodyslamming if you want to pit them against each other

Is there anything harder than playing GS in multiplayer?

The manga is good and is so much more than just loli/shota fanservice, which gets overblown by people. That's mostly just the aesthetic of the characters and a couple scenes here and there. Also that other user wasn't (Me) as in the one that posted the image originally. I didn't answer because I didn't want to derail the thread.

AT Vaal is the easiest, and yet, he's the best filter for shitters who can't slot 3 decos cause muh deeps.

There is. It's the master edition which comes with the base game and iceborne. Don't know how much it costs though.

so is listfag gone for good now? will something worse take it's place?

NTRfag from earlier.

I for one welcome the new age of Monstieposting at odd hours of the night, but I doubt he's truly gone. The reception of the game just improved since Iceborne is shaping up to be great and it's addressing a lot of issues the game originally had, so he has less space to thrive.

Quite alot, to be honest.

In a month you'll probably have no issues getting to a high enough Hunter Rank, but it means the amount of grinding you can actually do is somewhat limited, so you'll be sticking with a limited selection of armour and weapons. Weapons and Armour will inevitably become irrelevant once IB drops, but Charms and Decorations still seem to matter and you'd be going into IB with little options since there's lots of grind around those.

If you are going to play I would say ignore Iceborne and just take your time and enjoy the game at your own pace.

Yeah there’s a Master Edition or something like that that has the base game and Iceborne in it. For the first time ever they’re letting you buy the DLC separate if you already own the base game though, but the Master Edition is obviously cheaper if you don’t own the base game.

kjarr

Depends on how heavily modded your save is. Capcom are still pretty laissez faire in regards to mods but are apparently gonna crack down harder on outright cheats. Either way Low and High Rank aren’t that long, the only issue you should have with replaying them is the fucking cutscenes.

MH Stories is one of those games that has the potential to be a fantastic series, but I think they're not interested in trying to make it better now. If you changed the godawful combat and added a ton more QoL features (Like being able to actually save on the fly) and add a bunch more monsters it could be something really special. Also, don't fucking lie to the player about monster patterns.

What did they do?

Someone who kept posting about Seregios fucking Rathian in front of Rathalos three goddamn threads in a row earlier today.

>MHFU
>Lance
>Brachydios
>Artian

backloaded all of its damage into the truecharge which is super clunky to set up.

FU is a very easily exploited game. GS and Hammer have an easy time dealing with most monsters because there's so many spots to slip in a golfswing or level 3 charge. HBG works wonders on obnoxious monsters like khezu, plesioth, diablos, and kirin. Lao and shen are extremely boring but easy just by bringing a set to negate either wind or tremors. Rajang has a critical weakness to bows and walking left.

Flash bombs don't have diminishing returns either, and since half the cast are glorified kut kus you can cheese everything up to and including descendants of the king with enough of them.

You can also get early access to the G rank volcano and its materials through an event quest to kill lavasioth. If you triple cart you get to keep anything you obtained on the quest. Or you can just kill lavasioth by exploiting the fact that he can't go past an invisible wall along the southern entrance to area 10. Either way.

Additionally, a Gameinformer preview mentioned that a ‘blind cave bat monster’ was present, so either Khezu or Gigginox are also in. And at Comic Con there was an MH panel where Acidic Glavenus was revealed, and afterwards they said there were more subspecies to show and had a slide of Pukei-Pukei, Paolumu and Tobi-Kadachi pop up, implying those three will also be getting subspecies.

There’s likely to be another 5ish monsters besides them unrevealed too.

>see attack coming

If you timed it right, your shield will be out in front of you and automatically block the attack. You'll get the hang of it with practice. Try it on something like diablos that just charges a lot.

It's gotten a slight buff. The axe's fade slash animation has improved greatly and becomes a great evasive tool, wild swing increases in power if you continue using it after the first two swings

Still unfortunate that the ZSD seems to remain as spotty as ever, but I also wouldn't want it to end up becoming a CB situation where you just endlessly throw out your super attack until the monster's dead.

Just say fuck it and build for Crit Draw style. It still works damn well even with the changes.

It wouldn't be surprising, pre-world games had gems of varying slot size and you gotta pad out that endgame somehow. A 2-3 point attack gem that's 2 or 3 slot sized seems pretty likely. It would let them add new decos without completely outclassing existing ones.

Or maybe they'll just go ahead and make new decos that just render old ones irrelevant. Like elementless or earplugs decos of the same point value but a smaller size, or compound gems that add multiple skills.

Why would you want to? It's basically a crutch for people who can't rely on recitals for damage

Decorations and layered armour are the only things that are likely to retain any value going into Iceborne, and layered armor only matters if you care how you look. A bunch of the quests that give layered stuff don't require a high hunter rank, but the best shit requires you be HR50, as do both of the really good decoration farming quests.

Imagine taking more than 5 minutes to kill any monster in end game

Imagine taking more than 30 seconds to kill extremoth. You do use cheat engine, don't you? Your time will look pathetic otherwise.

not him but nobody can even tell me what endgame is. fully kitted out builds with gamma armor, proper decos, and kulve weapons?
I've been doing tempered and ATs for a week or so with ok success and I still have absolutely no vision of what I'm supposed to be "building" in terms of armor or decorations which is made worse by the fact that I use nearly every melee weapon on and off

At one point I was making a list of hunter vs monster mechanical changes/additions over the series. Is there anything that's off here?

Is Death Stench legs b and a Handicraft charm good enough if I do not have any handicraft gems? Using Jho dual blades, amongst others.

Yes, If host isn't using LS or DB.

Having fully augmented armor and weapon(s) is endgame enough in my opinion, even without ideal skills, as long are you're trying you can probably survive and do enough damage to get the job done. Kulve weapons help but for certain weapon types they aren't necessary at all, and optimizing your decos and armor with stuff like Drachen (which is ideal for most melee weapons) is great but not always necessary to beat "endgame" monsters. Even Capcom only wants you to beat regular Xeno in order to play Iceborne.
Also the user you replied to is over-exaggerating so don't worry about it.

Patrician.

>Having fully augmented armor and weapon(s)
I forgot about augments, I only have 1 weapon augment and I foolishly spent it on attack power before learning how good regen was
hopefully I'll get my build(s) sorted out when I can play again

What's wrong with DB, negroid?

Just fucking play the game dude. Switch around weapons until you find 2-3 you really like and upgrade those as you go.

Kushala's Gamma waistpiece is also a good Handicraft piece as well. Technically, Kulve Taroth's waist pieces are some of the most efficient armor pieces in the game but it's Free Element that bricks NEB-reliant weaponry.

Good time to get into it with the events cycling back in for five weeks straight.

>At least Hunting Horn and Gunlance are godlike in World
Are they? Just started playing world and met an NPC out in the field that said gunlances were only 13th most popular. I was surprised, I was really enjoying it.

I found it to be a fun novelty, but when I found out there's a "true ending" and had to do it again, and then the pukei-pukei died so I had to do it AGAIN, it wore off its welcome. I haven't tried the stronger version yet, but the leshen itself certainly isn't a very good monster.

Looks good for just going through the ranks. If you can power through to HR 50 in less than 5 weeks then you'll be able to get carried through Arch Tempereds and get sweet armor. Doing Tier 2 tempered mons will make that HR shoot right up, and give you good decorations too. I'm sure that people in this thread are down to hunt if you post rooms. It's a bit late at the moment, but next time you're on just hop onto one of these threads or /mhg/ and reap the fruits of other peoples' autism.

Did AT Nerg change up the CB meta any, or is Xeno/Kaiser/Damascus mix still the best general Taroth Horn setup?

Drachen is the ultimate goal, but Behemoth looks very tough. I'll probably end up asking the trannies at /mhg/ for a carry in exchange for (You)s.

>Raw CBs in this day and age
Lol Kjarr Ice hits for 250-360 ice per phial on Kulve.

Behemoth is pretty tough when you first have access to him, but he's manageable once you learn his attacks and tells. If you really want to hide your shame, just keep throwing yourself at him while your cat has plunderblade equipped. He has no rare materials and all you need to do is look up a guide on how to cheese a quick horn break or tail cut to get the stuff your cat can't steal.

That's because /mhg/ sucks.

I think I finally get it, I finally get how to play LBG in this shitty game, all I have to do is to play it like if it was a fucking shotgun because the critical distance is ASS! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!

shoot it with a bow or HBG

>log back in after months of not playing
>frame rate is 30 with ton of stuttering on a 970/3570k
How the fuck is this game so needlessly demanding? What does it even do?

And all the other monsters that aren't 2 or 3 stars weak to ice? I already have a set with Kjarr Ice with maxed Ice Attack, user.

I think they decided that because gunner weapons now can get high defense then they need to have a much shorter range.

I imagine that having the old range (which was pretty fucking big) would make the guns extremely safe and overpowered, or at least more than they already were/are, I'm still used to maintain a considerable distance between the monster and me because that's how I played for 3.5 fucking generations but whatever, critical distance is shorter than ever and the mobility is greater than ever as well so is a weird ass way to balance them out, I don't like it but we gotta roll with the punches.

Gunpowder lvl 2 and 3 are sold at shop you nigger wtf why would they give you those materials in low rank when none of those low rank weps could use em?

Get Karma if you're not at end game yet, otherwise most of the Kjarr LBGs are great and let you abuse Xeno Gamma with their innate crit element.

Decos are the only thing that will remain relevant in Iceborne.

Changed from the hit & run playstyle to one that utilizes tackling and climbing up the charge combo to perform true charged slashes. To some, this makes it a completely different weapon fundamentally. For some reason, there is also a distinguished lack of any form of Diablos GS at all in a game that has both Diablos.

It’s alright once but gets tedious really fast. I like Ancient Leshen though.

Master rank diablos soon so maybe we will get his tree?
I completely forgot what G rank diablos moves are.

Gen/GU IG was either mid or mid-low. Didn't get as JUST'd as CB did, and honestly had some good improvements to the Kinsect upgrading stuff. Funny enough the Crimson Fatalis glaive was one of the best.

4U was funny, some weapons were simply miserable and others just flat-out average or of significantly varying effectiveness depending on the monster, but the rest were amazing. Monster ankles were weak as fuck and the paralysis game was fucking wild with relic gear, too bad Capcom intentionally never made good status DBs ever since. Shit was GS and CB ludo too.

Spikes take Steel Prints, not that I remember how to get them right now.

Yeah, it's really weird, when Behemoth does his body slam the Tremor feels like an eternity.

And on stun, I've never understood what method is actually supposed to knock you out faster. Some say you have to do left/right in sync or whatever, and you'll have to signal the cat for them to actually knock you out of it if you intend on using them. But otherwise it's funny to see that Stun Resist 2/3 does jack shit when the full immunity is one pip away, and that monsters no longer have a recovery animation when they recover from stun themselves (and do any action immediately after getting up) all the while you clap your goddamn hands and take forever to get back into it.

All in all hunter and monster downtime are just kind of borked in MHW. Doesn't look like Iceborne is going to change it either seeing Capcom is just going to do whatever got them their 13mil copies shipped.

yes, you get hit you die, don't get hit or block it

ATs do ridiculous damage. The Gear is balanced seemingly around ordinary Tempered monsters. Basic monsters can’t fucking touch you in fully upgraded Rank 8 armour, Tempered monsters damage you a decent amount and ATs tear through it like cardboard because they were basically an afterthought and the main team is probably too busy working on MH6 to bother putting too much effort into ATs.

is there anyway to reduce the amount of damage the lava pools from AT Xeno's attacks leave behind?

Problem is that since you have so much access to healing items in MHW, because of the the quick crafting from the item wheel and unrestricted access to your item box, the only damage that really matters is if the monster one shots you.

>Tell me youre retarded?
I think I know who's the retarded here.

So I am to understand that trying out Behemoth with randos is a terrible idea and I should just let my cat plunder his loot til I have enough to make the Drachen set?

Also can anyone give me a quick rundown on how good LBG is

A skill just being an one-off switch from totally unbearable to easy is stupid design

Why did the community get more elitist in MHW, arguably one of the easiest titles in the series?

Yes but it's a magical fight when you get that one rando that carries the whole team.

Use Hbg and cluster honestly, unless your LBG is better, but seriously though Behemoth is not hard with randos, I don't get what you guys are all saying.

Casual elitists are some of the most deplorable people in any community, and when a game gives them the means to be successful in some capacity, it becomes a breeding ground for their unwarranted toxicity. Basically since most of the “endgame” is relatively accessible even to below average players, they now think they are in a position to tower over people.

Attached: image.jpg (826x602, 145K)

This honestly

It's literally impossible to carry a team of three tards for the Behemoth because it's 100% guaranteed that the tards will cart to the meteor every time it happens.

Honestly if they'd have just toned down the eye-melting graphics and gotten rid of the shitty Jibanyan rip off I would've been on board.

I respect your right to not explode on things but I do not indulge.

Great sword is okay, the problem is you will be using the sword to block and fuck your sharpness in the process

You don't need to be flashy and loud to do damage.

At 300 hours I've never once ran into a cheater

You can play in groups of four since the first game. The games used to have separate solo and co-op questlines with the latter always went on for longer for having the most monsters, but MHW squashes it into one main questline and implements a 16-player lobby on top of drop-in and SOS features. Most of the game is easier solo than it is in multiplayer.

Yeah but you need to do more than poke poke poke backstep to be effective.

That's what the counter is for.

You actually don't meanwhile gunlance actually more effective using the slap rather than shelling
which is pretty ironic considering its named GUNlance afterall

So what is the mathematically best style now? Jho slapstick, Sleep full burst, or Water poke n' shell?

600 hours here. Not a single cheater spotted on PC unlike the dozens in my 900 hours of 4U online

full burst because it's the most stylish

>MHW
>Greatsword
>Tie between Rathalos and Deviljho
>Nergigante

Does the game still scale 2-4 player hunts the same way?

MHW either scales the effective monster HP for solo or multiplayer with no middle ground, and if everyone else leaves the quest it's still left at the one player having to deal with the extra health. And essentially that means a two-man hunt is harder than with one. Iceborne is coming up and will supposedly change the scaling, though.

In the other games, the monsters have fixed HP on a per quest basis and doesn't care about player count.

Yup. It's a flat 2.6x HP boost.

>MHW
>Hammer
>Odogaron
>Uragaan (male)

It should be noted that it will be changed in Iceborne so it actually scales based on the number of players.

is there any major difference between gamma and normal sets? want to make the xeno armor but ideally I dont want to farm AT xeno

Check the wiki for exact differences, but yes. The gamma set has more skills/slots.

Higher defense, different skills

Will this apply to vanilla content and players without the Iceborne expansion? Also makes me wonder how the game will handle having players with and without the expansion on the same servers, which is a first for the series.

fug alright then thanks

I'm down to kill some if you want

nah sorry I've burnt out for today as I'm just on Yea Forums now

Sounds neat to me, what's better about it than normal lance?

They haven't said anything about that so we can only guess at this point.

I'm curious to see how many non-hunt changes will affect vanilla players at all, like if the food system gets changed. Presumably they've also got to download the assets for all the Master Rank stuff for the sake of backwards compatibility.

I'm considering getting this again on PC. Is it worth it for free online and whatever improvements they made? Also mods, maybe?

Players who own iceborn and players who don't will still be able to join each other's quest so long as they're base game quest

mods and loading times are the big selling points for me personally
not to mention the convenience of playing on pc but that goes without saying

Yes and yes. They’ve confirmed that players with Iceborne can join quests started by players of the base game but not the other way around.

worth it just for transmog mods

pc has full transmog, fuck layered sets

Performance is better and for a couple double dippers I know one of the stronger reasons they won't be doing it again. You will be waiting longer for Iceborne though.

I double dipped and I can't go back to PS4 after trying the MHWI beta.

eww a bow user, must be gay too.

If you want Razor Sharp/Spare Shot on armor pieces that aren't hot garbage, you better get farming, user.

That makes sense. I'm guessing they won't touch late High Rank balance like they did in some previous G-rank games, but who knows.

So what's that ONE FUCKING GEM you still haven't found yet, anons? For me it's Ironwall. Not a single fucking one in over 400 hours with a couple dozen of them spent farming Jagras and Lavasioth during their events. I have fucking multiples of every other rare gem, but cannot for the life of me find the last fucking skill I need for Charge Blading.

Thanks, that sounds fucking great.
Maybe I'll just say fuck it and double dip on Iceborne too if I really can't wait. I'll definitely try the PC version of world now, though.

I don't know about hackers or anything but should I buy it then? I play games 3-4 times a week so how fast is the progression?

Critical Boost.

I don't even know what I'm looking for anymore

I've since found it but the longest it took was a third artillery. Which made me cry into my gunlance.

Crit Boost is at least on some good pieces of armor. Guard isn't on shit.

We'll probably end up doing some High Rank quests past Xeno'jiiva before we get into Master Rank, and I think there's a fair chance that the newcomers or returning monsters might have sets that can help fresh players catch up on the Drachen and Gamma armor power creep. I mean, Capcom should definitely notice the power gap between them and the classic Eyepatch mixed sets from launch.

I'm going to wait until MHWI hits PC personally, I'd prefer to wait a few more months for a smoother romp and it's where I know more players. That and Frontier is on its last few months.

It's fair, a lot of unskippable cutscenes though. Cheating players will trivialize a hunt but you can kick them of your lobbies or quests if you're hosting either one. Might just be safer to play with Yea Forums or /mhg/.

Handicraft. Protective Polish took a surprisingly long time though compared to my PS4 experience.

Attached: tumblr_ozpbygDBu71rkg35yo3_1280.png (800x783, 161K)

Better burst damage, worse movement, blocking and versatility.

Handicraft. Got a full set of every gem in the game but still zero Handicraft.

Also slightly better against flying monsters since you can shell directly above you.

I've yet to see someone blatantly cheating on PC to be honest. I mean the real cheaters oneshotting shit in multiplayer. I can understand someone with hundreds of Hours modding just to get that last deco he misses but one tapping monsters online makes no sense. I mean why? What's the point? You can buy the rewards directly If you want those

Attack, I only have welfares, never seen it in person.
Also hero's shaft, for some reason I have the shittiest luck and I can't run rarity 8 IGs.

Don't be fooled though, the performance is by no means good.

There must be something weird with rarity 8 shaft because i had the same problem with bows. I have 20-30 of the other hero stones and 0 shaft

HANDICRAFT
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Why can't things be organized alphabetically?

Neck yourself tranny
Go join the 40%

Please...
Which event quest give the most hero streamstones...

In theory Relish the moment (Tempered devil) but in reality AT elders gave me way way more. I farmed AT Kirin because i can kill him in 5 minutes and it often gives me 2 hero stones

>because i can kill him in 5 minutes
>other ATs have bloated HP and retarded attack increases
>kirin is still kirin, just hits a bit harder
Makes me feel bad for little horsie.

Magazine jewel. None after 600 hours, and my mind is already partially broken.

Thinking about getting this game for pc because my ps4 friends are causal fucks that dropped this game on the tempered kirin.

Should I cheat to get my old farm?

It's part of the 13 million celebration pack. Check you inventory.

people still cart a plenty to kirin
because it is kirin, the death of all impatient hunters

WHERE IS THE REMOVE ALL DECOS BUTTON

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Indeed. He's the easiest Elder after all for a reason. And in case of panic you can just turtle under Thunder res and disrespect him. I once witnessed a legit shitfling conversation between 2 autists where one was saying that Jho should be Elder instead of Kirin and the other was sperging out talking about lightning storms and whatnot. Fun times

What build were you using senpai?
Do i have to be a ranged to shit on him fast?

I think I've only carted to AT once, because the little cunt hit me with a thunder mid charged slash, which went to paralysis then insta death through its boosted thunder. It was post sleep and all so it was about to die, but nope.
Never died again.

I hope the next MH doesn’t desync PC content because I kind of wanted to swap over but after 500 hours of PS4 and Iceborne still coming out later I just cannot he bothered. They know what they’re doing though, they’re preying on double dippers. There’s no way they need months extra for a big content patch.

Why would you want to remove decos? When you create a new set and save it they automatically move back and forth between saved sets

Usually people learn to respect Kirin when they fight the tempered version so holding back becomes second nature
Well, randos who were carried did not learn so they will happily go for full combo in front of Kirin's face and then get combo'd to death

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I made a huge mistake bros.
I haven't played MHW in over a year and i'm the kind of autist who kind of tends to start over after not having played his savegame in a game for a long long time because i feel like i'm thrown back into something that i have lost the connection to.

Anyways, about 10h into my new playthrough i realized how much of a fucking pain all those delivery quests are, how long it took to get all the arena quests for capturing, the upgrading of the facilities and getting all the canteen foods...

not to mention the decorations i had. although for some reason i don't really care that much about those even though i spent dozens of hours cloudscumming for good decos.

anyways, never reroll in MH
suffering

I really think Kirin's difficulty in world is completely flatlined, I didn't notice a single difference between LR and AT after learning its patterns, it just hits harder, but it's the same bitch in all difficulties.

Now why the fuck would you make a new playthrough?

haven't played in a year and starting over sounded like it would be a fresh and nice experience in my mind.
due to most weapons i spent a lot of time crafting during my first playthrough turning out to be useless compared to Kulve/Luna shit i thought it probably wouldn't take too much farming to get back to endgame anyways but i underestimated the amount of tedious shit you have to go through even if you don't craft 100 weapons and armor sets while progressing.

Anja 3 bow and hug his face. Find a way to slot in 3 Thunder res. Bring Thunder mantle and Temporal mantle. If you panic farcaster away and breathe. You have 50 minutes

If you dont like bow you can also cheese with cluster spam. Bring sticky 3 and spread if you can to help with the stagger when he's running around. Sleep bomb him twice before he goes to nest. If you want more mantles don't be ashamed to spec 3 decos into Maintenance. It will massively shorten the cooldown on mantles to the point where one recharges before the second is out. This will increase your clear times but will be safer.
As a general advice on any AT when you begin: go tank, go solo. You'll have time later to try more risky runs when you're comfy

Melee weapons now get a physical defense bonus and ranged weapons don't so the actual defense of gunners works out to be roughly the same as it's always been. It's been over a year since release, how to people still not know this?

Melding

I dont want to farm fucking jagras anymore but I also want handicraft

Raw is shit in kulve unless it's a great sword or hammer. That's a fucking fact. Charge blade impact phials do 100 per phial max. Elemental phials do 150-3fucking60 per phial. Fucking look up a guide before you spout shit from your anus

Any time he does charybdis, you SAED/helmsplitter. Believe in yourself and it will stagger him and cancel the cast

Considering the amount of double dippers, they'll continue doing this bullshit.

600 hours.i have every jewel i could need for blade and range both. Fuck i even have 6 attack jews because of Witcher and 13mil reward.

Is there a worse fight in the game than AT Kush? He's in the air half the time, denying area constnatly, obstructing your view with all the tornadoes he shits out, and can just randomly pull dumb shit like trapping you against a wall with a wind barrier. Even when hunts go well, he's still just a massive pain in the ass to deal with.

no he's the embodiment of everything wrong with flying monsters in this game

Better question is, why the fuck would you delete your old save if you wanted to do an another playthrough.

lmao, I remember that bullshit.

Don’t forget his shitty wind aura just knocking back all melee players.

AT Lunastra is 100 times worse

Of course a guide is going to tell you the optimal way to do it, which is to switch the weapons, but that was not my original point. My point was that outside of doing P1 runs you don't need to bother with that shit.

He did say he's a turbo autist

Now if you guys are out of shit to do in world like i am. Please join me in the challenge quest pack mod on pc. 100k hp Arch tempered ancient leshen is a thing, took 50 minutes to clear.
There are 5 AT elder marathons with extreme modifier so you can't cheese them with status or ko anymore... Plus they have 30k hp each. It was fun with friends.

>100k hp Arch tempered ancient leshen
I would rather smash my dick with a hammer.

Yeah you don't need to switch if you're using raw no shit. I was talking about elemental from the beginning, you wouldn't use a fire weapon on lu astra would you? Unless you want to do no damage. Kulve is the same way, what's so hard to understand

You were complaining about about people not having two sets and switching between them, and I pointed out that switching isn't really needed unless you do P1 runs.

There is a mod for that.

I logged with CE and gave myself every gem
