the famitsu article. All that art does is charge your phials after the attack. If it charged your phials while dispensing all 5 phials in that concentrated attack then it would have been useful for stylish KOs.

It clearly does damage, though, since the naja staggers. We do not know the MV on it. KOs are not damage and most of your actual damage doesn't come from phials outside of SAED and the energy blade art.

It looks like it has quick startup and hits annoying flying pieces of shit. Its usability will solely depend on how much damage it does.

I had a build based around maximum phial + HA art generation and HA damage just so I could spam energy blade all hunt long

Is alchemy actually going to be worth using it is it a meme?
>>
>>169023747
It seems to be a shittier striker with free items, maybe if striker didn't exist it would have a real niche with three HAs. Its only unique attack option is garbage unless there's some factor we don't know about yet, and the items it produces are better than the normal versions of the items (like a whetstone that is also a hunter's drink) but still not good enough to even match what HH or just picking striker can do.

I could be completely wrong, of course, this is all as far as I can tell.

Low Rank monsters tend to spam attacks because their moveset is restricted and their AI limited.

For some weapons it's a straight upgrade over Guild (Hammer and LBG).

Grimclaw LS, Silverwind SA, Tigrex CB.
>>
>>169024082
I'm hoping there'll be a way to re-arrange the way your items appear in your barrel so you could get access to certain ones easier. It seems really weak right now besides getting aoe healing and SP buffs

does anyone actually using guild lbg, I was under the impression everyone went adept

Will MH4U manage to satisfy my abnormal love for gear and crafting grinding, as well as my love of hack and flash combat? Gunlances and Bowguns look neat as well, but I know nothing of the series aside from a bit of 3U.
>>
>>169027264
If you just like grinding, then yes, 4U's endgame is all grinding, and depending on how lucky you are/what you want, it may never end.
>>
>>169027264
its more of the same PLUS lots of grinding for special final upgrades for your weapons and really fun quests that have a RNG chance to give you the strongest weapons in the game!

you won't be satisfied too much with that one, there's literally only one GL worth making. maybe another if you feel like wide spamming.

What is the point of the amatsu event? Is it literally just amatsu except it hits a bit harder and has 10% more health and gives you twice as many accolades? Seems dumb when there's easier ways to get accolades regardless. You even have a higher chance of getting at least one heavenly dragongem from the regular amatsu's quest rewards, as well as a small chance of getting two.

>>169028370
Can't you access it at an earlier HR?

so lazy people that don't meet the HR requirement can still initiate the quest. they have a bunch like it.

He obviously knows you are doing a play on the phrase "hack and slash." He's asking what you mean by flash, which is why he asked "what does this mean?" and not "where does the phrase hack and flash come from?"

Well, I play Warframe/Marvel Heroes/ARPG games and dungeon crawlers with plenty of grinding, so I feel alright with it. My main concern is dead online and being shit on by the early "boss" monsters. Like that fucking Congolla(?) in 3U. It's under $20 to purchase, so it's not like I'll be wasting a ton of money if I am unhappy with it.

Yeah anon I know. Some people just want to sit there and talk about the most meaningless shit. Like my friend Jorge. All he does is bitch that his girlfriend won't give me him.

I try to tell him, dude relax, you shouldn't expect girls to always want to suck your dick, I mean they are people too. I suggested he go down on her once in a while and he said that was faggot shit.

So I'm thinking "wow, that's some misogynistic shit" but I just tell him that it would most likely make her more willing to take a load in the mouth when she knows there's something in it for her.

He just gave me some lip service like he'll try it but I doubt it. I mean he never takes my advice or anything. I tried to tell him that selling his jeep and buying a bicycle was a bad idea, but he did it anyway because it saves gas and claims he doesn't travel very far.

Are the last few single player huntathons in Gen like psuedo G rank or something?

Like, I've tried them all with multiple weapons, and every time I get my shit wrecked by the first monster AND it takes too long to kill them.

Like, even going hammer and wailing on the Rathalos like I usually do, it seems way harder than normal to down it.
Are those last 3 or so quests meant to be for once you have max level armor and weapons?
>>
>>169036085
i just use them for supplies i need. if you do plenty of hbg or raw lbg gunning, the 3 carts won't be enough to keep you stocked on ammo combines

you can get money easily by doing charm runs or selling excess parts so i never really bothered with running the carts for money

you should buy supplies directly from the trader instead of multiplying them, if it's available for sale. for example, you can buy energy drinks, hunter's drinks, immunizers, bomb casings and nets instead of multiplying for their ingredients. the reason is that wycademy points are given out so freely that it's nearly impossible to run out of them. for reference, i buy all my supplies whenever possible, including 4 stacks of hunter's drinks, and i've bough enough special permits to complete all my deviant quests to level 10. i am currently sitting at 2.2 million wycademy points

so yeah, just go crazy on spending wycademy points because they might as well be infinite

A flash bomb can accomplish the same thing this art does unless you're fighting blind ass gore or something, so yeah not too useful. Lion's maw will probably have higher tiers to unlock too and the damage is going to get ridiculous with that. I might use this moonbreak occasionally on easy hunts just because it looks fun to hit something out of the air with it though. Do we know how much damage it does and how much charge it needs yet?

Eh, I gotta admit as a purely solo experience the game is kinda lacking.
It's nice for zoning out with certain grinds, but the game's real worth comes from playing it with friends or online, even with the shitty random shitheads you sometimes wind up with.

Actually hunting with a group in person or on some live chat is by far the best way to play.

I did Out of the Frying Pan with HR4 gunner gear and a HBG. Others I did shortly after unlocking my HR. Golden Pair is alright, Field's a Stage is a complete joke, Wrath of Rath is the cancer. They're just High Rank monsters though, their stats conform to how you'd fare doing HR7 quests solo.

You can change gender in the swap from X to XX iirc, because it was specifically mentioned that if you do gender-specific armours get automatically sold.

That said, the best armours are female but male hunters have less shitty looking armours overall, and chances are you're gonna be looking for a mixed set that looks tolerable more often than a fullset that looks good because of how skills work especially in g rank. But also 4U had uka uka u for instance that was excellent for most endgame monsters with most weapons and looked incredible on female hunters but atrocious on male hunters, may be something similar in gentoo.

MH doesnt need to be returned to MH1, it just needs to focus on what makes it good; satisfying weapons against challenging monsters.

They keep putting in all this other shit like styles/arts which trivializes the game and makes the combat less satisfying.

They seriously need to fix armor as well, you should be able to upgrade any armor to G rank tier. God damn do G rank armors look shit in comparison to LR/HR.

>>169038778
I wouldn't mind it having lower end damage if it has a small tier charge time. I'd probably use it over lion's maw then because I'm too greedy with lion's maw. I wait to use it when I have the perfect chance for a level 3 coming up to get the most out of it and all the time I spent running around not using it could have been charging up another lion's maw. I use it maybe twice each hunt because I'm too stingy with it and don't want to waste it. If I used it as often as possible I'd be getting a lot more mileage out of it but I just can't break that stingy behavior. With a small charge time direct attack only art I could just pop that off at every opportunity. I never use the medium or large charge attack arts just because you don't get to use them super often. Only the buff ones.

The raw of the Shaggy LS is far too low to be redeemable. It doesn't have enough dragon to compensate for having low raw and ALSO not having any considerable amount of natural white.

My cast goes to Stahlrect, simply because you only lose 6 dragon, 20% affinity, and a sliver of white for a huge 30 raw.

There are other weapons that do what Shagaru weapons try to do way better.
>Low raw, absurdly high dragon
Ancient/Artifact weapons
>Natural White, low raw, high dragon
Alatreon
>Natural white, low raw, high affinity
Nargacuga

Shagaru weapons just sit on a middle ground that is neither useful nor worthwhile.

Use whatever you like though. I'm sure there's a way to make La Loi work with some crazy CE+3 crit boost set.At that point you might as well use a Narga weapon though.

Why do you all so grossly exaggerate the strength of arts and styles? You act like popping off one art is enough to cleave off half of a monster's health and shit like this simply is not true. And while adept dodge does have overly generous timing there are some moves that will punish it so it doesn't make you totally immortal. The real problem making Gen "too easy" is the jacked up defense stats on the armor pieces. Some armor sets reach almost 700 defense. That's in the neighborhood of 4U endgame G rank defense. And even with that there is shit like hyper silver rathalos and hyper deviljho that can almost one shot someone with that much defense. Probably could one shot anyone using a mixed set with defense below 600. And before you meme about never getting hit in the first place if you're that good then how are any of the games ever challenging at all? What fits your idea of challenge? Bloated health pools that turn fights into endurance matches? We've got that with the hypers. Unending rages like we had in 4U? Apex? Shitty hitboxes? What the fuck do you want?

Dunno how legit it is, but turns out Stahlrect is indeed better than La loi even if I have crit+2.

I considered the other weapons at first, but I don't really like the design, so the choice were just stahlrect and la loi. This is just for casual hunting, anyway. If I want max damage, I'd use the meme set.

Actually, I recently started learning Adept LBG and was kinda wondering, how do gunners usually do Huntathons?

>>169044918
>Guard Up
IIRC rajang has nothing that requires guard up, you can guard even the beam with a regular guard. On the other hand guard+1/2 is useful for those heavy attacks.

But yeah something people often fail to realise is that if his tremors and oversized hitboxes can't do much to you rajang dies insanely easily, his entire body is a raw weakspot and he has low health. It's why bow fucks him up so bad.

>>169044686
Gunners are really gimped in hunt-a-thons with the limited ammo. Especially elemental bows or LBG's if the monsters have varying weaknesses. Combo pro and ammo saver would definitely help if you're going it solo because you'll need all the ammo you can get. I'd really suggest just using a blademaster weapon on hunts with more than 3 monsters if you're playing alone. It can probably be done with a gunner weapon but they're just really not suited for that sort of thing. If you're playing online with a full group you can get through them fine with combines and using your internal shots.
>>
>>169044686
Take the materials and combine ammo on the spot. You can use the art Mass Combiner if you want to get the most out of it or you can also just bring the book of combos.

The problem comes when you have guns dependent on internal or elemental shots, those you usually don't take to huntathons.

Lately, Ive been trying to get gud at CB against Dreadking. One of my most recent goals were to try to sub 15 it with Bow and CB, which I've come close to doing with the former after a number of runs.

The latter's proven to be super annoying, because I can rarely ever AED him after he drops his rock nova since he refuses to do his *flies around u* maneuver, and when he does, I miss somehow

I'm also trying to get a better handle of LS and DBs for the sake of the experience and hoping to optimize my hunts with them. Probably wont be speedrunner tier but I'm trying to be at least competent.
>>
>>169045161
I knew someone that tried doing the same thing in 3U, starting in low rank. Unsurprisingly he lost interest in the game for a while after deciding to do that.

I just try to solo everything before doing it online currently. Exception for five-monster quests because I really don't like shit that just drags on forever or actually having to think about resources. I've also never soloed alatreon, I did it online in a turns room before I ever got the quest and I'm not really interested in the fight or the gear.

>>169045258
About half of his physical moves are slightly oversized horizontally and most are massively oversized vertically. The latter really threw me off when I got to him in 4U, because I was maining IG and had gotten in the habit of dodging monsters by jumping over them. Almost all of his attacks have hitboxes several times taller than his model. You can still aerial dodge them by using the pheremone shot so you stop before you're actually over his model.

>>169044686
Bring all the even semi-relevant ammo your gun can use, and the most combines for the ammo your gun is good with as possible.
Use your most inconsequential shots on the first or easiest monster, save the strong ammo for the monsters they are strongest against.
Ammo Saver is highly recommended.
Prioritize hitting the weakest hitzones, even if you need to waste a bit of time letting the monster position properly. You want the most damage you can squeeze out of every bullet.
Above all, don't get hit.

As an example with OotFP, I used the Cirrus Blaster, and all my Water and Water Pierce shots on Jho, since it's alone and has a shitton of HP, even though it doesn't take much water damage, and after that I used all the Normal 2s on it and then a bit of Pierce 3s.
Once Narga and Tigrex showed up, while covered by smoke, I focused Tigrex as hard as I could with Pierce shots, and even though I failed to keep it up I managed to kill it without that much hassle since Narga can't really sneak up on you. Once Tig was down I used the ammo I still had left on Narga. I was down to a handful of Pierce 1s and a little over two minutes of quest time to spare, but I did it without carting once.

Nothing is consistent, probably because different people are responsible for the coding for different monsters or something. You need guard up to block gravios's fire cloud but you don't need it to block uragaan's attack that is exactly the same, for instance. At least with khezu its projectiles travel along the ground so you could reason that it's because they go under your shield while rajang is shooting a blob of electricity through the air.

Don't do it, you will make a shitload of useless sets and random armor parts for the sake of looking pretty/slutty, and if you're anything like me you will also go for "just enough" mixed sets because the "full autism minmax clown set with 7 of the most useful skills at once" that you got from the experts on 2chan is an ungodly mix of the 5 ugliest armors in the game.

You have two modes: normal and brave. You start in normal and have to build up a gauge to get to brave.
When your weapon is drawn, sheathing is replaced by the brave stance. You put yourself in a defensive position that will auto evade if it's hit (still take a bit of damage), or sheathe after a couple seconds. If you attack while in this stance, you will do special attacks that fill the gauge by a lot.
In normal mode you have a gimped moveset. Most often the key feature of the weapon is absent, and made into a brave stance attack.
In brave mode you have an amazing moveset. Very mobile, with added guard points and/or demon dashes even on weapons other than CB and DB, and crazy good attacks.

I haven't played the game since 4U, so be honest with me /mhg/, are the new things in MHX an improvement?

I'm hesitant about all the new fancy shit because it seems so superfluous for a Monster Hunter game. I liked 4U just as much as FU, the mobility never bothered me, just the actual fighting mechanics. I'll probably pick up MHXX when it comes out, but I want monster hunter, not Devil May Cry.

As it happens, it's mostly insubstantial glitter. The flashiest arts are severely worse than the quick efficient ones, and the dominant style is the one that gives you an FU-like moveset in exchange for more atk and more art slots.
The only shame is that the reason most arts suck is that they can't compare with the two that are just an evasion with a fuckbillion iframes that can skip the cooldown of most attacks on any weapon. They have severely damaged the meta and are part of the reason the skill ceiling in Gen is the lowest since P3rd.

frontier just has off brand versions of mainline monsters because the players wanted monsters like those and they didn't want to steal them outright.

most of the "fancy shit" doesn't really matter. The styles are more about your move list and motion values than the specific mechanics of the style. Most of the best hunter arts are just passive buffs, evades, or utility skills.

What they do add is options and genuine variety. Even if you didn't like a certain weapon class before there's a good chance that a new style/arts combination can breathe new life into it.

Even a grumpy grandpa whining about kids these days and their hippity hop adept dual blades can just pick guild style and ignore hunter arts or use shitty ones or whatever the fuck they want.

Most of Gen's problems stem from it being a greatest hits mashup rather than a truly new installment, and that it only extends through high rank content. The game has a ton of options to explore, and it really appeals more to the idea of building sets and weapons for all the different classes rather than just sitting in your comfort zone and fussing over speedruns.

If there's any danger of things going too far, it might be SP mode in MHXX, but even that probably won't really be a big deal and mostly affects multiplayer which is inherently easier anyway.

so it's just shooting blood out from its wings?

Like a butterfly, yeah.

But no I'm pretty sure what that's showing is that it's like an anime-physics ramjet, where it constantly inhales through its mouth at an extreme rate, ignites the air in a chest organ and shoots it out of its wings to fly.
>>
>>169051159
>>169051393
Actually looking closer it's marginally less anime physics, there's "air lines" going into its horn and those little pockets on its chest too. So it actually constantly inhales through its mouth, horn and chest assuming I'm interpreting the diagramme correctly.

Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's kinda like that.
The diagram above the 7 thing is talking about bird respiratory systems.
They have air sacs that allow the air to move in one direction through the whole system, entering through the mouth and leaving through the nose, such that birds can inhale while exhaling.
This lets them fly at high altitudes.

Captain Falcon here apparently has his system exhale out the wings instead of the mouth/nose.
Not sure if that'd really translate to infinite self succ though, it's more just that the air can come in through the mouth and come out through the jets, probably on fire like that one anon suggested.

Whether they're more valuable than evasion+/learning to iframe without skills is debatable and up to the situation and weapon (for example with GS and hammer evasion means not getting your high-power attacks off), but all in all those skills are comfier than evasion regardless. Unless it's e+3 in 4U, then you're fucking invincible.

HGE used to be the go-to skill for hammers in every game pre 4, that and s+1 were all you needed in your armor for flawless sub-10 hunts, every other skill was just a neat bonus.

I always threw Evasion on every possible set I could. I just assumed it was a universally useful set after having some good experiences with it in P3rd. It got even worse in Gen, since I got an Evasion +6 OOO charm, which enabled me to have E+1 on literally any set I wanted.

But now that I'm exploring other options and sharpening my pure evades, I'm seeing just how strong other armor skills can be. God bless.

Narg CB is on my wishlist. I really wanna see how they end up designing it.

We've already seen the Heavenly Eye CB. Hopefully the other weapons from HE Mizu have that glowy eye bit.

>>169061724
I'm not sure why you're upset, maybe you should take a breather.
>>
>>169057398
+4 edgemaster +10 bomb boost OO-, +4 edgemaster +8 bomb boost OOO or +4 edgemaster +5 tenderizer OOO, it looks like. Look into attack up large with sharpness+1 and steady hand on your c+2 sets, though. You'll be astonished how often you get fullset SK for a set that has the same benefits as the one you were making, plus mind's eye and rodeo god.

>>169061392
>the hellruin memestick gets 700 blast.
Note that's actually 70 because there's a 10x multiplier on all elemental and status values. That means for instance on deviljho at cap blast you'll be proccing it about every 45 hits, and 6 for the first proc with about every 1.5 successive blasts adding another 3 hits to get the proc. Without pyro and bombardier it's 57 per blast at cap, 9 at base and not much but a bit faster rate of growth.

Whether it would be more valuable than, say, attack up is kind of a tricky thing to find since it depends largely on luck and how long the hunt takes, but it might not be possible to get attack up on that set instead of bombardier regardless, which is something shitters sometimes forget.

>>169061696

>>
>>169062884

>>169062703
It actually isn't. It isn't the most broken damage skill like in gen but it's still one of the best values for slots/how hard it is to find with other good skills. 11.11% damage boost on a 45 hitzone, worst case outside of special ones like dala's head when toppled is rathian's head with a 99 hitzone where it's still a 5.55% boost. For comparison, most endgame G rank weapons have about 300 raw in 4U, so AUL is about a 6.66% boost, and WE is almost always better PROVIDED you are actually hitting weakspots. Even on a 250 raw weapon, like some teo weaps for instance, AUL is an 8% boost, which only surpasses WE on hitzones of 63 or more.

Sorry for this short reply to this discussion earlier, I was in-game so keeping it terse. Anyway, to not meme on you like these other shitters, for LS you mostly want the same sort of skills as hammer. Since you're even more dependent on finishing combos earplugs is even more of a priority but lategame you'll be able to get that with a bunch of other sweet shit. My LS and hammer sets are both just star knight with garuga x chest.

As for good LSs to craft, LS does more with element than most weapons (and gets better elemental values), so you might want to look at a lot of different ones, but if you want to make just one, make the najarala one for now for paralysis and later when you can get the unlock the trades for it and get the g rank version go for the dragonwood cutblade if you want to continue in that vein. Of course by then you can probably get good relics for at least a few elements.

Don't feel too bad (or too good) for finishing high rank in an early high rank set either, by the way. I did it all in Lagombi, and soloed G1 in high rank lagombi as well and then everything in G up to Kushala in G rank lagombi, and I'm pretty sure that's even worse than tetsu. Just liked the fashion the best and didn't want to expend effort for something ugler. There's a group here that went through the whole game naked even. It's just that most people who post here are kind of shitty and either aren't the same as the people who actually play a lot (at least online) or just shitpost and meme it up in-thread, even at the expense of newer people asking for advice.

>>169066742
No it isn't. It's a 5 boost to the hitzone. Not 5% of the base value, but 5% added. As in, hitzones are %s of your damage actually applied to the monster, so WE on a 45 hitzone (the worst hitzone it works on) makes it become a 50 hitzone, which is an 11.11% increase.

What's the best LS in Gen that's not the fucking Hellmeme?

grimclaw, then silverwind
>>
>>169067418
Is Silverwind better than regular Narga considering the crit meta?
>>
>>169067339
Probably individual elemental ones. Nothing can stand up to the combination of high raw, high sharpness, high affinity AND blast, except sometimes really really high raw, high MAX sharpness and high affinity with no blast, and yet they keep putting weapons like that in which is why you don't see many elemental ones getting best times.
>>
>>169067483
regular narga is shit, seregios > regular narga, you want to stay at white as much as possible, silverwind helps since it has long white and also has HA boost since it is deviant.
>>
>>169067648
But it has no slots, and I don't have a god charm, so I need at least one slot on the weapon for the silver meme set.
>>
>>169067747
If you need a slot then Seregios, same raw, more white, same amount of slots as regular Narga, has auto sharpen mechanic
>>
>>169065695

>>
>>169067879

Plus seregios LS is one of the best looking LSs and best looking steve weaps.
>>
>>169067339
Zealous Sedition has slots, but Silverwind Saber charges arts faster. With Absolute Readiness it's difficult to run out of white on either unless you bounce way too often.

Nargacuga stuff usually has equal raw to Seregios but with higher affinity...in a game where you can get tons of it easy.
>>
>>169065939
It's cool. Alright, thanks.

I usually get elemental ones of each element for the weapons I play, but sorta seeking advice for a general good one with good raw/sharpness, etc. Seems Najarla for now if I stick with ls. Alright, thanks.

Nah, I've often done this. F1, F2, etc, etc. Yeah, sometimes I just couldn't be bothered farming for better gear. Whelp, that's neat. Yea.

depending on your charm you can try making a set with speed sharpening rather than razor sharp, which might work with your talismans better. You won't be able to stay in white sharpness forever, but that really doesn't matter unless you are actually trying to speedrun. Silverwind LS has tons of white and will last a decently long time before you need to sharpen.

It satisfying to cut tails with it, but that's about it.

Does anyone else feel like MH is more about patience than anything else?

A few months ago I got pretty frustrated at where I was regarding 4U.8* is pretty annoying, what with Powderstone, fishing and capture quests as keys. I gave 4U a break and have just been playing online Gen, and now that I came back, doing those quests wasn't as much of a chore at all. Capturing Monoblos was the easiest capture I had so far, and I remember having a hard time against him in the Urgent.

Gen is way too easy, and I definitely wouldn't say it made me a better hunter: if anything, I felt rusty as shit coming back to 4U at first. Watching tutorials and learning more about weapons helped a lot, sure, but the more I play these games, the more it feels like they're purposefully design to reward you for being patient, as timing and measuring distance translates to skill more than any set.

Not actually a bad idea. Inagami is shit though.
>>
>>169075395
>MH is about patience
Yes.
>Coming back to 4U I felt rusty as shit
Because you're used to having styles.
>Gen is way to easy
Easier than 4U does not mean easy. 4U is the hardest MH game we've had in the west, and the hardest MH series outside of Frontier outright.
To demonstrate what I mean, many of the Hyper monsters in Gen can and will two-shot someone in gunner armour. The solo Hyper Jho quest in the Jurassic Frontier literally has G-Rank stats, and will one shot a gunner. I think a blademaster with strong negative dragon res can be OHKOed as well.
>>
>>169075932
But Hypers are slow as fuck, they're only "dangerous" because hyper boosts attacks they spam all the time.

>>
>>169075932
>I think a blademaster with strong negative dragon res can be OHKOed as well.
Or just, you know, less than ~640 defence.

Hypers are to compensate for styles and arts. The game would be completely trivial if nothing comboed attacks or hit really hard and you had innate e+3+ and every weapon could essentially GS level 3 pretty much as often as an opening presented itself. It's still extremely easy as-is. Late 3U low rank was already a lot harder than late gen high rank, without even going into FU or 4U.
>>
>>169075932
But Gen is easy.
>>
>>169076082
>HyperJho breath one shots everyone
It doesn't, I survived it earlier with about 10% left in fully upgraded toka (-10 dragon, 670something def)

It's not like amatsu's twister which guarantees a oneshot without moxie, it's just extremely powerful.

>Every weapon has innate e+3
Only in Adept, and not explicitly as good as e+3 because forcing you to perform an adept counter attack isn't always ideal. Or safe. Or useful.

A GS level 3 is 136 MV assuming you hit with the centre of the blade. Let's look at the MVs on HAs, shall we?
>Sakura Slash III (LS) = 10 + 40 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 40 + 40 = 190
>Critical Juncture III (LS) = 180
>Shoryugeki III (SnS) = 15 + 30 + 60 + 30 = 135 (not counting sword dance even though the MV is way higher because it's actually just a hands-off multihit combo with high commitment)
>Blood Wind III (DB) = (13 + 13 + 13 + 13) × 5 + 30 + 30 = 320 (would be a similar deal except it does so much more in that time than a level 3 that it doesn't fucking matter)
>Spinning Meteor I (HA) = 20 + 20 + 125 = 165 and as a bonus:
>Spinning Meteor III (HA) = 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 165 = 215 total
>Corkscrew Jab III (LA) = 27×7 = 189
>Dragon Blast III (GL) = 102 + 9×12 = 210
>Trance Slash III (SA) = 18+20+25+28+33+40+30×4+100 [or +90+40 with Demon Riot] = 384 [414] (see blood wind)
>Energy Blade III (CB) w/ 4-6 phials = 180
>Bug Blow III (IG) = 10 + 120 (+150 with Swarm III)
>Triple Volley III (Bow) = 14×3 + 14×3 + 23×5 = 199

The only weapons that don't have a HA similar to or far surpassing a level 3 in MV are HH and the two bowguns, and HH and HBG have true damage attacks that will often still do more damage than a level 3 would. Shit, go ahead and add SA and DB onto that since their burst HAs are technically combos (even though they deal the amount of damage of a level 3 in a very small amount of time, and just continue dealing damage).

Assuming, of course, that you ever actually got to G rank in either game?? If you didn't that would be even more embarrassing.

The main thing that changes in G rank is monster AI. Your gear advances with the monsters, in rank-appropriate gear even late lowrank monsters can three- or four-shot you and twoshot gunners unless you actually build for defence (and who the fuck does that?), but G rank monsters are far more evasive and aggressive- In other words they don't attack, wait for you to attack them, attack again, etc like most low- and high-rank monsters do. Practically all of the difficulty of G rank is in the altered movesets and AI, the inflated stats are just a gear check.

Is taking ~9 minutes to solo a Hyper monster really THAT unreasonable?

It's 175 true damage. I'm taking that to mean a flat 175, like how GL shells work, but if it's an MV then that and sonic smash are both far more powerful than I thought.

>>
>>169077439
>You will always have a HA available for every single opening
If you're playing striker or against a hyper while using a deviant weapon you do. That's without going into using striker with a deviant weapon on a hyper with the chance skill, assuming that shit even all stacks, which I honestly don't know if it does because just one of those is enough to have a high-power HA up all the time so who gives a fuck about stacking them even more?

>Listing arts like Trance Slash and Triple Volley
Whoa where'd the goalpost that was here a minute ago just go? Just because actually using the arts isn't the dominant strategy for those weapons because they were made even more busted this game than most does not mean they do not have access to that super accessible move that can exploit practically any opening with greater power than a greatsword level 3.

You, right now, are trying to convince me that EVERY WEAPON can unleash a 136+ MV attack every ~5s, on demand, whilst using evidence like a garbage armour skill, the marginal increase in HA charge time from Striker, and arts that nobody uses and might not even consider using if they had the room in their style to support it.

And you're accusing me of moving the goalposts.

I used to defend Apex for a lot of reasons, but I recently realized that the fundamental issue with Apex is that it punishes bad players without rewarding good players.

Like, you hit the right monster parts to knock the monster out of Apex. What's your reward? No Apex. Hurray?

>>
>>169078229
Why do when people talk about Apex they only ever mention a single shitty aspect of it - the bouncing.
Bouncing was shit, sure, but Apex also gave monsters expanded movesets. Apex Diablos was absolutely amazing, because it used not only Diablos' and Black Diablos' attacks, but also both regular and White Monobloses'.
>>
>>169078158
>every ~5s
Thanks for confirming my suspicion that you just got carried through G rank, if you think that's how often there's an opening for a GS level 3 on most monsters.

>arts that nobody uses and might not even consider using if they had the room in their style to support it
"basically free GS level 3s aren't even the best thing to use on some weapons" is literally a self-damning argument for you here. It does not in any way deny my statement, and since my statement was that gen was easy because of things like that, stating that gen has shit so broken that it outweighs even that only serves to support my main point.

>P.S. You forgot to mention Hunter's Drinks.

>>169078402
But they could have done that some other way. Like, they could have simply kept them as Frenzy but made them "G-Ranked Frenzy", or "Grenzy".

Because they're shitters that hit bouncespots with Drive then complain it's not de-apexed after the stone runs out.
>>
>>169077670
you could have tried harder if you used 3G
>>
>>169078402
It's the bouncing that unfairly favors some weapons over others and the random ass element immunity. Also making IG completely unplayable unless you can knock the monster out of Apex in a single triple up duration.

>>
>>169078482
Wasn't deapexing was based only on the attack's MV and not the actual damage it did?
To be fair, the bouncing was especially shit, not just because it made you bounce off, but because it oft didn't make sense. When monster's usual weakspots became armored for no reason. They were already designed to be hard to hit, but rewarding, and the apex variations got only shitty and safe hitzones like legs opened for attacks without drive.

>Thanks for confirming my suspicion that you just got carried through G rank, if you think that's how often there's an opening for a GS level 3 on most monsters.
1) This is a High Rank game
2) You said EVERY opening. Sometimes you have multiple openings within 3s of each other, sometimes you get jack shit for 40s straight after Gore decides to cosplay Rathalos.
After reviewing your post, you did not say "every opening", you said " pretty much as often as an opening presented itself.", which is a much harder thing to quantify and is hard to argue against because of that.
>"basically free GS level 3s aren't even the best thing to use on some weapons" is literally a self-damning argument for you here. It does not in any way deny my statement, and since my statement was that gen was easy because of things like that, stating that gen has shit so broken that it outweighs even that only serves to support my main point.

They're not used because they take too long to execute and you get punished for trying to use Blood Wind III when you've only got a ~3s opening. It's not that the alternatives are strictly better from a damage perspective, but that Trance Slash III takes, like, 7s for the full attack + recoil animation, and unlike a GS you can't pre-empt the attack since it's a continuous combo.
>>
>>169077781
Are the riders removable?

>>169078753
Tail, head and torso. Although the latter two were almost completely obscured by the phantom hitboxes of its legs and arms.
>>
>>169078673
It makes sense, Apex changes the hitzones, it's a state that makes monster stronger, it's logical their old weakspots would be reinforced.

that's why I listed spinning meteor I as well, except spinning meteor III locks you in place which is why it's shit whereas blood wind moves you all over so unless you're a serious dummy worst case scenario is the monster roars or tremors you, canceling it without the relevant skill

Because it's also designed around the fight, not the hitzones, look at Seregios, the Apex hitzones are the weakspot, but the wings aren't, and they're often in the way.

But there's something very important that you're missing here, and it's the reason I think Apex is bad: what does the player GAIN from fighting an Apex monster?

What part of Apex is *fun*?
Frenzied monsters had extra character with the change to their colours and their ability to infect the player.
Hyper monsters charge your HAs faster and have occasional hyper-boosted attacks.

What did Apex do that was ENJOYABLE?
Apex didn't punish good players, only bad players. But it didn't REWARD good players either, and that's bad design.

You have to hit from behind while not hitting the torso, it's tricky but doable, you even circled the chest's yellow part. You can't hit from the front because of the head, not the arms.
>>
>>169078967
Don't listen to reddit shitposters, it`s a great game.
>>
>>169080020
A good player can beat any monster, apexes aren't special.

I'd argue with that guy and say breaking the apex is itself really satisfying, except it's exactly the same as breaking frenzy so he's basically right. Apex is just shitty frenzy. You rarely even notice the expanded moveset because you spend the whole time bumrushing the monster trying to break the apex, and you either succeed or just end up seeing its normal moves it uses at "hunter is directly under the monster" range.
>>
I'm getting a server int he next coupple days, anyone think of anything i could do for the mhg community with it?
>>
>>169080020
It's not. It's a prerequisite. When you beat an apex monster you don't leave the quest with anything you didn't already have when you took it.
>>
>>169080226
So you're saying that Apex would have been great if you simply couldn't break it at all?
>>
>>169080089
>You can't hit from the front because of the head, not the arms
You don't use IG do you? The head is literally a non-issue, you have to use slopes/ledges or pheremones to even hit it with the kinsect in the first place if the jho isn't downed or in one of a couple of very specific animations at a specific moment.
>>
>>169080226
Yes they are, they have more mechanics, it's like saying High and G rank are not different from Low Rank, or Large Monsters aren't different from Small Monsters.
>>169080320
I do, that's why I told you to hit from the crotch instead of the front, If you go between the head and legs your bug won't hit or hit the crotch instead of the chest. Like I said, it's tricky but doable.

What the fuck kind of moon logic got you from what I said to there? Are you retarded dude?

At least an affinity boost or something.

Also doesn't answer my question whatsoever, has nothing to do with the head somehow blocking the chest (which it absolute does not, from any horizontal angle).
>>
>>169080508
Honestly my issues with apex would be solved with one and one thing:
-If you break the Apex, you get the wyven stone boost you had applyed for longer, and it continues to give you the effects onto the monster.
Like, the entire thing with the stones is that they last for such a short amount of time, and even then, ONLY give you their boons while a monster is in Frenzy/Apex. Once you knock them out of it, those things no longer give you their extra affinity, or abilty to bypass bouncing, or extra damage, and I feel that's a major failing of such a system. The perfect 'reward' for good players would be to let those boons carry over even when they aren't apex'ed anymore, more less EXTENDED the active time if you knock a monster out of it. Would be pure win/win then.
>>
>>169080893
Jho here -------- You here, throw bug at the chest
Because I meant from the front, which is more likely to happen when you solo.
Of course you can hit it from the side, and in that case the legs are in the way, not the arms.
>>
>>169081023
When you launch the bug at the chest from the front it will hit the arms. It will not hit the head unless jho is doing one of his very few attacks that bring his head down to that level. Looks like we're on the same page here, it's just that you're also wrong.
>>
>>169081148
But it doesn't matter anyway because the part next to the arms bounce, you have to hit from behind.
>>
By the way, there is only a single conga bearing red extract on the map when you fight apex gravios. Gravios starts in area 5 and the conga is in area 6. The commute from 6 to 5 takes 20 seconds, which is already a sixth of that timer gone, though you can reasonably get triple up within that time to extend it. Once that's gone you have to go all the way back to that one conga, then back to whatever area the gravios is in, and so on. If you think this is acceptable then refer to >>169079107

>>169081232
That's one issue and I'm talking about an entirely different one now, which is that you said
>You can't hit from the front because of the head, not the arms.

Because from afar the head is low enough to block the chest, and if that's really a problem get Drive for extracts and Brace for deapexing.

Honestly even if you don't do Luna + A9LH or some other CFW style on a N3DS, you have zero reason to touch the backplate OUTSIDE of setting up a CFW, given there are moments doing a CFW install when you can't enter system settings for one reason or another.

Says he's on a N3DS though, and talks about needing an FTP for file transfers.

The fact is though with microSD Management, a integral part of the N3DS System Settings under Data Management, you already have a direct access towards the SD card without having to take it out of the system. All I'm trying to say is that unless you're setting up a CFW ( Luna & A9LH being the easiest example to spit out, but honestly any CFW install will do ) where there are moments and times when you can not enter System Settings to run microSD management for one reason or another, you can use it to do everything you need without needing a FTP.

You don't even have a 3DS at this rate do you and are just spouting random shit?

The 3DS only updates from the Other Settings, under System Update. Entering System Settings doesn't magically make your 3DS update, never has, 11.2 and 11.3 didn't changed that one bit ether. It doesn't even nag you about updating under that option.

That's actually the worst setup. It means you essentially have half of each element. There's never a reason to bring any but the element a monster is weakest to.
You can make an argument for DBs that are element+status, if the monster is weak to the element and susceptible to the status, and even then, there's maybe a couple such across series history to have been worth it.

Almost every upgrade stage of gore's requires a ~3% drop though, not something most would want to use while progressing. Plus it's only a bit better (especially considering poison at least affects almost everything while dragon affects barely anything), and once you do hit g rank stealth glaive becomes better until the very end (and even then it's debatable because of poison, natural purple and more slots).

Am I understanding this right from some discussion a few threads ago: Pierce 1 actually does the most damage out of all the pierce ammo if you aim it right? With its disadvantage being shitty crit-distance? And Pierce 3 is actually the worst of the bunch (excluding monsters like Akantor, Ukanlos etc.) because it does the same damage as Pierce 2 but it's split over more hits and is likely to have travelled all the way through the monster before expending all those hits?
>>
>>169085842
I don't think he meant dual-element DBs, I think he meant having a set of fire DBs, a set of water DBs, a set of ice DBs, etc for different monsters' weaknesses.

You're right if he did mean the former though.

Pierce 3 has more damage than Pierce 2, if all hits connect, and worse in every other aspect and scenario. Higher recoil, reload, outdamaged on the same number of hits, oft less capacity. It's just less viable.
Pierce 1 is the best because it can be effectively used with Weakness Exploit since most hitzones are big enough to get all three of its very close together hits to connect in the same one. Weakness Exploit giving more affinity than Repeat Offender (the skill you'd use with higher levels of Pierce) and not have to compromise damage hitting shitzones because the hits travel too far makes it outperform Pierce 2.

>>169086267
>1/6 status is horrible.
All status is 1/3 at best, think of it as 1/2 and not 1/3. With DB's hitrate getting unlucky doesn't really matter and you're very unlikely to get dicked over with like 20 successive hits not proccing status like you do with some other weapons, because those 20 successive hits are just a combo you do in a few seconds. That's twice as bad with battlefanzers, sure, but that is still frankly not bad and when they do hit they deal a lot of status.

Jade battlefanzers are 50% better for sleep application than eternal leavetakers, losing raw but also gaining the equivalent of 190 water to slightly compensate, and paradise green are only 33% better for application than battlefanzers and have 23 more effective raw (after affinity) but also require awakening, which is a pretty huge downside.

Of course pretty much any sleep relic DB will be better than anything you can craft, it's one of the easiest if not the easiest specific weapon+attribute pairs to find a better-than-craftable for.

Mizutsune HBG for Pierce 2/3, some Pierce 1 guns like Daora also see use.

And due to
>An overall shortage of gem slots on armor
>The ease of raising affinity, especially with a single piece of headgear
>Weakness Exploit works as it did in P3rd, raising affinity by 50% on 45> hitzones
>Critical Boost raising affinity multiplier to 1.4x

Damage stacking in this game is effectively done through affinity stacking, and for the majority of weapons is the go-to. HBG can afford to miss out on Evade Extend simply because of Adept, and you don't get much room to fit in Recoil Down. Repeat Offender is also another simple way to increase affinity.

>>169086945
Goddamn.

>>169086415
La Foi for Normal, if you're into that.
Daora Grande for Weakness Exploit Pierce 1 cheese. Most optimal, very boring.
Celestial Tempest for Pierce 2 siege and awesome internal ammo. Use Repeat Offender with this one.
Mountainous Roar if you want to Pierce without siege. Not optimal, but more reminiscent of G-rank game gunning. Best option against water-weak monsters.

This pretty heavily implies these are the only monsters you use sleep on, since this is your justification for saying the fanzers are inferior.

Huh, I don't know what I thought you said that wasn't teostra. I probably made the assumption it was something else while skimming because of this though
>none of them are weak to water
>>
>>169087432
This implies these are the top 3 sleep monsters, with Teostra being the only one with a water weakness.
>None of them are weak to water
Yes, Teostra has a water weakness but you can't exploit it as well as Dragon and Ice, pure raw with more frequent sleep is better than using a tertiary element weakness.
>>
>>169087226
Zinogre has essentially a hidden gauge it fills up to enter supercharged mode. Any time it stands there gathering energy it's filling it, and it doesn't go down if he's not charging, so eventually it'll superchage no matter what. While in supercharge, it can enter rage mode, which is when its electricity shifts from white to a vivid blue colour. Hitting it enough will knock it back out of supercharged mode, and the process repeats.

>And you can't stop him becoming a big boy eventually

Do note, that once Zinogre is near full charge, its body noticeably crackles with electricity. This means its next attempt to charge up is nearly guaranteed to end early. It'll have super armor the moment the charge maxes out and until it finishes its full-body-hitbox supercharge opening move, so beware approaching it on its last charge.

I like the huge variety of monsters in that game even though some of them look like they came out of warcraft. Does hammer just not even bother with its normal attacks in that game? All I ever see people do is spam those super pounds over and over. Also with the huge variety of monsters is there a lot of gear worth using or is it like 99% garbage and everyone uses one good armor and weapon line while only fighting the other monsters for progression requirements? Do armor skills work differently? I always see only full sets in frontier and MHO videos.

Not necessarily, since Akantor and Ukanlos still retain their pseudowyvern status. Granted that was two generations ago, and honestly Ceadeus feels more like a leviathan than an elder.

I think in frontier you can have a cosmetic set over your normal armor so you can look like however you want without it impacting your skills
>>
>>169103141
There are no progression requirements, and while there are meta setups, there's a ton of useful armor and generally a much larger selection of things to use for armor set creation. And armor skills work the same but sets generally have a lot more of them (up to 16 as of MHFZ), and certain armor pieces can passively grant an entire skill by themselves, or enhance the properties of other skills.
Frontier and MHO also both have cosmetic armor slots IIRC.

a feature despreately needed in the main series

Frontier's cosmetic armor is pretty interesting since you have the craft the decorative armor piece itself, then equip it along the lines of putting a gem into a slot.

But at least once you craft it once, it's able to be used any number of times on any number of armors, and even can ignore weapon restrictions like Blademaster/Gunner split.

I agree but retards think it'd ruin the game because everyone would be wearing the same set!!!! despite the fact that everyone wears basically the same sets at endgame already regardless, only they tend to be ugly-ass clownsuits unless you were lucky enough to get or hacked in a god charm

I wish we could have this in mainline. Even if they won't ever let us have full cosmetic options at least let us choose which version of the armor piece is displayed like gunner/blademaster and G rank/Sub G. Gunner armor all has some asymmetry that often looks much better and more heavily armored than its blademaster counterpart.

I mean if monsters are going to flit between zones there might as well be a gimmick for it

I give up.

I just cant get good at this game. I keep playing it like it's a dark souls game and keep getting rekt. I cant figure out the rythm of the battles even if i know the patterns of the monsters.
