wait until it falls asleep, sneak and put the trap RIGHT next to it( under it if it's a big monster) and after it falls into the trap, assault it with the tranq bombs/shots you need 2 to capture it

Well, I did it. I had to bitch out and use adept though. I've rolled through the pink rathian tailflips every now and then, but can't do it consistently over 20 minutes.

Also, super deviants have ridiculous KO tolerance. It's to be expected, but fuck. I got 3 golfswings off in about 10 seconds and it still took another 1-2 minutes to get the first KO.
>>
>>174825331
You're not supposed to get the trap out as it's limping away. Limping is just a sign that it can be trapped.

Just follow it to the next area and set the trap there. Then tranq it when it hits the trap in the new area.
You can also do the two tranqs before it hits the trap and it will still work as long as it hits the trap soon.

Monster only wakes up if they get attacked or if you stay around the sleeping area for too long. It shouldn't wake up if all you do is lay down a quick trap. Maybe a small monster was trying to attack you and hit the large monster instead, waking it up.

Probably best you can do is familiarize yourself with which areas monsters go to when they're weak and lay the trap near the zone exit if it's a terrestrial monster or on the specific area flying monster takes off from.
>>
>>174825331
You need to git gud with the trap placement. If you dung bomb it when you fuck up it might just got back to the area with the trap.

also what are some good weapons for a beginner? right now i got a hunting horn, solely because i wanted a big hammer and the hammer is tiny, and another character with the longsword. im gonna try the sword and board for the HH char because its a bit goofy and the damage isnt that great, unless theres something better for me to try?

What's wrong with GL?
Never played GL but I keep seeing people shitting on it and I'm wondering if it's really as bad as anons keep saying.
Is it at least fun?
>>
>>174829317

Fun? Yeah. Useful? Not really. It's shitty in basically every way. It's bad for solo play because shell damage doesn't scale with G-Rank in any way, shape, or form. It's bad in multiplayer because it's still too slow to keep up with the monster AND shells blow everybody else away constantly.

They're really good too, they've got good overall stats and can be found around the midgame point, plus they've each got a cheap spammable power move with either high base damage or big ramp up with each successive use

Brave if you want to explore a more technical side, adept if you want literally ez, striker if you need max power.

>>174843074
most of the time Pierce is better than Normal. Also, use Pierce 1 instead of 2 because it was nerfed from Gen for some stupid fucking reason so it's not worth using over Pierce 1

>>174843561
MV's were nerfed slightly, Pierce 2 is 9 x 4 but it's easy to miss that either from critical distance shenanigans or the monster not being large enough, while Pierce 1 is 10 x 3 so it's more consistent

You should give it a try Anon, I'm not the type to be bothered if you triple cart, since I'm sure you learn from your mistakes.
USUALLY the attacks that will OHKO you are the ones that deal the most damage in the g1-g5 hunts.
For example, you can tell any of Hellblade's major tail attacks (slams and spin) will be a OHKO in a super hunt.

Give it a try sometime, anon. It's not that bad.

Usually with super deviants it's the lesser attacks you don't worry too much about that are more of a problem than the widely telegraphed OHKO

Armor in fantasy has always been this way for females, and it's because the female form is too nice to be covering up in bulky shapes and spikes, it's better and more pleasing to the eye to give them form fitting gear that reveals a little skin as well being that female skin is nice looking (this is about aesthetics after all). Also the idea that females need more open areas on armor to restrict their movements less, and heat is an issue too so they need breathability as well.
No need to bitch abut them not wearing enough, Oni don't wear anything but loincloth and are treated like badasses not sluts, it's about mindset. Naked/scantly clad =/= slut
If you want armor that makes protective sense then play male.

Wew. These are all MHGen and MHXX designs by the way, which is even more impressive considering how few new monsters were added in those games, pretty much every one of them has a slutty armor design, if I add 4th gen monsters the list gets even bigger.

Only shitty japanese games and MMOs have slutty armor like this, modern western RPGs get armor design right.

It's supposed to be armor, not some shitty bikini. If it doesn't fit the monster theme, it can fuck right off, you don't need to make the female armor slutty and revealing to make it appealing, there are plenty of examples of that in the MH franchise already.

Okay, so your one of those people.

And if you don't believe me, just look at for example Xena warrior princess, or any of the art books of fey creatures from the late 80's early 90's, you see many females in many kinda of revealing dress, some of them being armor since the women wearing them are warriors. This is a trope that has been a thing for ages, it's why the mighty Amazon women is a thing, it's why "snu snu" is a easy to get joke, strong women in little to nothing is hot shit that the world loves and has loved. If you don't like it then that's fine but it's not a problem that needs to be fixed.

It's something new in the Monster Hunter franchise, not the media as a whole, older armor design used to look more like armor and less like a bikini, it's the opposite now for the newer games.

>>174853687
>It's new to..
Then you want rehashes not new armor, since the new stuff you don't like. These "slut " armors you don't like have just as much reason to be in game as the more protective armors, they are new and people make all kinds of new things when trying to find new ways to apply new parts or old parts used in new ways.
The only thing bad (In my opinion) is that not enough of the theme of a monster being in the set, or the lack of a theme at all (non monster based gear, as long as it sticks to a theme, is pretty nice), having differing styles for armor is not bad.
>That image collection
Those are not even that bad. Just say you want male armors on females and call it a day. Or should we give guys more armor dresses? Hell the whole point is to have a difference between the two, they are doing nothing that has not been done before, it's not even new to the series itself.
Come back and bitch when it's band-aids and shit that is being sold as real armor then you might have some real issues.

>Then you want rehashes not new armor, since the new stuff you don't like.
Not what a I said at all, armor can look distinctive while not being slutty, just look at the male armor sets.

Slutty armor makes no sense for most of the monsters both realistically and thematic (Nargacuga being the only exception), examples like the Grimclaw armor are the worst since they don't match the monster they're representing nor the previous armor theme, while others are just as bad for just removing armor parts and calling a new armor, like the Astalos and Glavenus one.

>Just say you want male armors on females and call it a day
If by that you mean having female armor actually look like armor most of the time, then yes, I agree with that.

>>174854910

>>174855421
Now we are getting somewhere.
It's best to talk about designs from a point that is not "shoes more skin is bad" and you got to it finally.
Now about that i do agree on a few points, mainly the ones about just removing parts from other sets and calling it a new set, it's just lazy and they could have done the work to make them actually different. I'm fine with the armor not always matching the monster though, it's nice to break form tradition on that as long as the armor itself looks thematically nice (like Stonefist and it's being a cheerleader outfit, but I agree with Grimclaw felling like it's slapped together nonsense).
So I understand where you are coming from, but it's more an issue with overall armor set designs being in a different place then they where, even the newer male armors are much different then the older sets.

>>174855569

>>174856720
(cont for better explanation)
So I'm saying is I can play as something cute that I don't want to fuck, even if it's the strike zone of what I 'd want to fuck.
Playing dress up with girls does mean I want to fuck them, even if could want to later, it just means I like picking out outfits and things they look nice with each other and I find that easier on female character then males, mainly because no one makes enough stuff to dress males in that I'd like, I tire of all the spikes and skulls and xboxhuge armors that males get shoehorned into.

>>174859305
Easy mode stuff largely hasn't changed since Gen, I'd say. Brave LS is notable for its GP allowing you to negate monster attacks at basically the same level 4U CB did, just without KO damage. It's pretty popular because of that, I think. If you wanna play something easy but be unique then there aren't really many options out there. Maybe play Brave DB? I think it's a bit underrated, though it's not like it's talked about much in the first place. Adept anything will suffice otherwise.

>>174864254
Short answer: Critical Boost and Weakness Exploit providing 50% affinity instead of raw damage.

Long answer: Sharpness +5 OOO charm + Hayabusa Feather + Vaik Faulds + rest Silver Sol was the meta. Handicraft got nerfed, there's no purple, and there's a lot of good natural white weapons. Then the west got a Fire Emblem crossover and so the Lodestar pieces got thrown into the mix as well. GS could use Dreadking well and maybe Hammer too, but in XX it only gets Adrenaline +1 so it's probably not really as worth making it in the long term.

Not true. The fade slashes are fantastic for positioning and continuing standard and spirit combos.
You also can't go with spirit forever dumbdumb.
>>
>>174864889
I'm not as well read-up on XX since people are still shitflinging over meta things and that the meta itself is probably still developing, but Silver Sol Z does get Challenger +1.
>>
>>174864889
Still Silver Sol and natural sharpness. This time mantis weapons with RS, Challenger+2, CE+3, Crit Boost and Weakness Exploit. Nothing else can beat it.
Meta weapons are LS, Lance and HBG. SA is shit now because the meta is a non deviant weapon, and DB is shit because element is shit.

Huh?
>>
>>174865131
DB (and SnS) have bad MVs and rely on element (or blast) to do damage. Blast falls off against 20k HP G rank monsters, and element values basically didn't increase from Gen to XX while weapons have 4U relic levels of raw. So basically, imagine DB and SnS having to use high rank weapons while everyone else is using G rank ones.

There's the XA to close distance, the morphs and the AA combo in axe mode.

Revolt Swirl with Sacrifical Blade instead of AR, and whilst using the build you cited for Meretseger, yields superior damage.

The Frostpeak SA outclasses the Mantis SA almost always with save edited charms, and it conveniently also happens to be a Deviant weapon.

I'm sure that next you'll say that there's only one Hammer worth using in the game.

Styles/arts aside

>GS
Side swipe and the sealed upswing attack are essentially legacy things formerly used to chain into another overhead attack, the strong charges but also especially the smack put them out of a job.
>LS
No wasted attacks.
>SnS
Third attack in the XXX string and finisher rarely used, same with the backhop.
>DB
Nobody wants to be outside of Demon or Archdemon. Spinning Blade Dance and MDJ are also just really good.
>Hammer
Wouldn't call it all truly wasted, but the Superpound is not like it was before and the spin attack is situational.
>HH
Not really a single wasted attack mechanically-speaking, at least until Gen shifted the prod's quick white/purple onto the 'A' note. Encoring in some directions may end up being slow as shit though, and not all notes are equal.
>Lance
Guard poke and maybe the swipe attack. New third poke obviously isn't popular.
>GL
Guard poke and arguably Wyvern Fire. At least shells can extend combos or cut to the slam faster.
>SA
The Phial Burst is rarely used, and the stationary sword infinite seems to be liked more than the double slash one. All phial types are much less useful than Power.
>CB
XXX string is probably less useful overall, its roundslash GP at the end can be chained into from other things too. Axe does have a few key attacks, but the rest aren't entirely shit. Also the weaker yellow shield boost is dumb and elemental phials ended up being worse off than impact.
>IG
To an extent, yeah; like DB nobody wants to fight without their red and when they do it's mostly stationary XXA with the odd flip. Perhaps the devs should explore its analog-sensitive moveset some more, and I'm not sure how many people actually charge up their kinsects, who are usually heavily specced into speed more than power or stamina.

Bowguns simply just need less shitty shot types. Bow needs Power/Elemental coatings as standard.

There's like three weapons that dwarf a good chunk of their moveset. Lotta stuff is situational.

Sumosnarfs are actually the best DBs when you consider sharpness into account. Ludroth is strictly stronger numerically but their sharpness issues make that power unrealistic to maintain for a decent time

>Having to sharpen once in a hunt won't kill you.

>>174868968
Side swipe is strong damage and is used when the slap is too fast, Upswing is used to remove Para from allies and very rarely to hit things behind/on top of you.

SnS' last X is preferred on raw weak weakspots, backhop deals insane damage if used properly and gives you super-armor if cancelled. Shield bashes clear Para.

Superpound is like a GS charge and the spin is great on Element weak monsters.

Lance's swipe gives super-armor, Guard poke is the least useful but has uses, like detonating bombs or very quick, safe stabs.

Guard Poke is good when XA and forward X are the only attacks that could hit, WF locks the gauge.

You're wrong, it's strong but it's a finisher, Double Slashes is preferred but absent from Striker Style.

XXX is used for the GP, especially in XX with how they work, Yellow shield is garbage and Element phials were OP as fuck in 4U.

>mostly stationary XXA
That's how you tell you have no idea what you're talking about, IG uses every single one of its attacks (except non-red, obviously)

>less shitty shot types
Like?

You're asking them to know about their game here. Powercoat as a standard? Do you know 10 defense is gamebreaking? Better remove 150 raw because of it!

In hindsight, you can actually drop CE+3 to CE+2 and then swap Razor Sharp for Sharpness+2, in which case you're even further ahead of Meretseger.

You're still comparing weapons with sets that aren't remotely equal.
Also, you won't have 30% uptime on Sacrificial Blade.

>>174869430
is it really? it has 15 more effective raw than nible ones after crit boost, but the nible dbs have about 30% more water element
>>
>>174869430
Deviant mizu has 320 raw and 20% affinity, having an effective raw of 345 with crit boost. It is down 8 element though, which on average has a raw value of ~32. Lower ele favored hitzones will make it ~24 and higher ele favored hitzones can make it ~40. Even at the low end the water difference is too much.

Narga LS with DI is worse than Revolt Swirl without it.

>>174869831
See above.
Also, Silverwind Narga LS has 20% Affinity and 300 raw. Regular Narga LS has 290 / 45%, but it doesn't have the sharpness to make it work without AR which defeats the purpose.

>>174869735
Instead of complaining about the fact that the Mantis LS isn't doing anything with its three weapon slots, give me an example of a set that beats Revolt Swirl.

Really? On a gamefaqsTA list I see maw being used over readiness in terms of % but gen's endgame isnt the same as XX.
I'm guessing readiness > maw when you are in a single map quest while maw would be better when changing maps?

Any setup without Readiness falls apart the instant you have to go and sharpen.
>>
>>174871326
>Having to sharpen once per quest defeats having a fuckton of extra raw
Pardon?
>>
>>174871465
That difference in raw equates to about 4-5 hits over the course of an entire quest. In that time period where you're sharpening (or activating Sacrificial Blade), the person using Readiness is making up for that raw difference twofold.
>>
>>174871530
>4-5 hits over the course of an entire quest

I counted, and it took 105 hits to kill Tigrex. Yes, I am that autistic.
If you think you can attack ten and a half times in the time it takes to sharpen and use Sacrificial Blade, then by all means, use AR.

>>174871747
The Art has 30% uptime of 30% damage, we're being lazy and equating that to approximately 10% bonus damage.

>>174871986
>The Art has 30% uptime
No it doesn't. 20% at best.
>>
>>174872227
I counted it during another Tigrex run.
You can cast it twice and have it runs its duration out twice in five minutes, which means 1.5 minute up per 5 minutes, or approximately 30%.
Mileage may vary depending on things like fight length and uptime on the monster, as well as whether or not you're using a Deviant weapon.

Well they also needed time to discover the broken motion values on the jousting charge. God damn thing has like 70MV nestled right there in the middle of an easy to execute multi-hit attack. It's WAY too powerful and doesn't feel right at all because there's no hitstop or anything associated with an attack that's equivalent to a GS Lv2 charge attack.

It's gotten to the point where I'm getting kind of sick of seeing lances online because I know the hunt is going to be over too fucking fast. I don't think the HBG can even shit out as much damage as the Lance can now.

That said, does the mizu have another interval to jump in after a specific time, aside from Zin's HP going down to 30%?

Alright lets make this simple then. What colour would you use with that particular set ?
>>
>>174868875
So this set in this image is:

Adept DBs running Absolute Readiness

Sumosnarfs

-Critical Eye +2
-Challenger +2
-Razor Sharp
-Weakness Exploit
-Critical Boost

with max skill charms CE can be upgraded to CE+3 so lets assume it has that. How would the following set compare to it?

Adept DBs running Wolf's Maw III

Sumosnarfs

-Elemental Crit
-Water Atk +2
-Sharpness +2
-Weakness Exploit
-Critical Boost

I think the main question is if the first set can maintain white with readiness? I wish there was a vid so I can see how the fight went
>>
>>174877570
Not him, but if you're using full/semi full set, I think the default color works best. You only need to change color if you're clown/mixsuiting.
>>
>>174877678
I am mixing and the default colours are yellow for the gauntlets and pale blue for the cloth parts.
>>
>>174877570
Any, but I would tone down the red to make it work better with the textures they're applied on, I wouldn't keep the hands in the same colour as the coat.
>>174877678
Yes and no, you can neuter the colour or recolour, just make sure it fits (that can be hard, nothing fits Dreadking better than default because it's a JRPG recolour)
>>

I'm sure your set would look better if it was a gif instead of a single pic

I feel like your second set is awkward, having only WE as its source of crit alongside two crit synergy skills.
If that was an SnS set it's be phenomenal, but for DB's I'd consider replacing Ele Crit or C.Boost for Challenger+2.

>>
>>174877976
Yeah when I look at it it definetely seems awkward to me as well. The other ele options either have natural affinity on them or have the slots to add in more affinity through the set but sumosnarfs has neither of these. But at the same time I don't know if getting rid of a strong multiplier for a conditional skill is worth it especially since element doesn't crit at all without it and its strength is 1.35x rather than 1.25x
>>
>>174878348
But people have been saying that crit boost set + challenger is the best? Or is it different for hbg?
>>
>>174878348
Think of all the potential damage!
>>
>>174878131
>Which one fits best?
They're both very good.
One is a permanent +60% Affinity, the other is potentially as much as +65% Affinity and +20 raw, or potentially +0% Affinity and +0 raw.

In my opinion the first set is better, but if you're fighting a monster that you're unlikely to be able to generate value with Weakness Exploiter from, then the second set will be superior.

You should be using both, each for different targets.
>>
>>174878401
I think that in the second set up, using the Mizu DB's becomes superior because you very much need their +20% Affinity, even at the cost of their water damage.

Are there other water DB options? It's a shame that there are no Lagi-esque options for all the other elements.

the new charm farming quest is insane

you get around 30 enduring charms plus a few timeworns half the time, for a subquest that can be done under 2 minutes with a standard hame team. brachydios only has around 7.8 - 8k hp according to the hp display hack and gets captured after 1 sleep, 1 para and a pitfall trap, so the lbg guy doesn't even need to do much. this is like the super stonefist hame charm farming if it gave like 3 times the amount of charms and the process streamlined and simplified

Dual Blades have way too many armour skills to fit onto their set.

>>174878591
Okay I did a few calcs at it seems you are right. A few things to mention:

The calcs were assuming that we were targetting Hellblade's throat when heated, which is a 70/15 raw/ele hitzone
This ratio is pretty extreme for raw in general. Most hitzones that are worthy of using element have something like a ratio ~3:1 with it being more common for ~2:1. The heated head is even more extreme with a ratio of ~6. When the head/throat isn't heated then the ratio is more inline with norm but considering that the monster will be enraged a majority of the time since its G rank, its fair to say that the overall hitzones are more raw favored than not.

With that being said the D Mizu DB was 3.7% stronger than sumosnarfs using the ele crit build when Mizu is at purp and sumo is at white (which it will be soon if we are using only S+2)

This also means that for this particular monster, it would probably be better to forget elemental skills completely and to invest in raw/affinity, at least until affinity is capped.
So the set in >>174868875 makes sense since it is doing just that. If we switch to this set then with CE+3, WE, and Ch+2 you get 95% affinity so you end up overcapping if using Mizu. Unfortunately you cannot adjusting the set to fit in some attack even if you drop the CE+3 to +1. You can just keep CE+3 and then it is just practically a weaker water deviant lagi DB (100% need readiness).

TLDR:
Raw > ele on DBs for specifically hellblade because of its extreme hitzone ratios
Sumo is stronger than D Mizu when stacking raw and crit vs this particular monster, and is weaker than D Mizu when focusing on affinity and element
Best set to use vs hellblade is in >>174868875 but upgrade CE+2 to +3 using a better charm

>>174881537
>Hellblade's extreme hitzone ratios
I think you might understand. Hellblade's elemental weakness shifts from Water to Ice when it's in blast mode.
It's normal, fire mode throat is a 63 / 25 hitzone, and the fire mode tail is a 55 / 30 hitzone.

Like any reliable element weapon, you build for the occasion.

If the monster's got a weakpoint that is really element vulnerable but not raw weak, stack Element+ and Element Crit with some Sharpness+ or RS if the weapon's got good white (and whatever else you can squeeze in like Element Up or Critical Eye+).

If there is a >45 zone that takes good element damage, add weakness exploit somewhere.

If the monster takes piss-poor element damage in general, go with raw/crit boosting.

Tremor Res is only really needed for Jho and possibly Rajang

Dragon Instinct/Challenger for raw/crit boosting stuff

If Rikabae is here, I have a request:
Can you draw Atrulka and Frostpeak together?
>>
>>174881235
Hey, so the first thing I am going to do is ignore dragon instinct and tremor res from your list
They are good skills but they are for more specific sets

So first split the skills into categories:

1) Sharpness

-Sharpness +X
-Razor Sharp

These are going to be dependent on the dual blade you are using. In XX you don't want to invest in both of these since you will be losing a lot of damage. This is important to keep in mind since one blade might seem better than another due to its numbers, but when looking at the amount of sharpness skills you need to invest to make it useable, it falls behind a different blade. See the Royal Ludroth blades for an example.

2) Element Boosters

-[Element] Attack +X
-Element Attack Up

The first skill is for a specific element, boosting it by 1.1x +6 at +2 or 1.05x +4 at +1. The second skill is a 1.1x boost. So, if you are going to pick one you should always go for the specific version, and at +2. The only time where you would add the second skill is if you have the space for it after investing in the other categories and already having the specific version. You typically won't meet these confitions though. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI7RaOw7HKs for a good example of when to include it.

3) Crit Boosters

-Critical Eye +X
-Repeat Offender
-Weakness Exploit

So in terms of general priority WE>CE>RO if you can only get one skill. This is because it gives the most (50%) provided you are hitting at 45+ weakzone. CE>RO (if we are assuming its CE+3 since it is a constant 30% vs a conditional 25-30%. The condition isnt a big deal for DBs but it is still worse than CE+3. You will want to get as much affinity as you can because of the next section, so you will typically see WE + a variation of CE on a set, depending on your charm. However if you are facing a monster that you cannot use WE on, RO is a good alternative. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaITXmVYJbQ

You need to cancel it instantly if you want to go into the spin.

No reason to. Legs or Belly are always a superior target.

It is but you often hit the front legs instead, you shouldn't use low MV on it.
X in demon mode, a single vertical spin is better for Jho's short openings, single X was better fit for quick hits on fast things like 140 Teo
It's better to get a few hits before cancelling into the spin, you can do it anytime you're airborne.
Except you have to trip it intentionally so you can't just hit the legs anytime and the belly is not always available, the tail is a 35 Thunder hitzone, even a few spins on the way to the chest or legs if you're badly positioned (which happens at least twice in the vid) is better than spinning on the body because you missed.

4) Modifiers

-Critical Boost
-Elemental Crit

So these are pretty big skills. C Boost will make your crits go from 1.25x to 1.4x and for DBs you get a 1.35x boost in ele damage. It is important to note that your ele damage will not crit unless you have the skill while raw damage will still crit even without crit boost (but at 1.25x damage). Even for DBs, raw is still important so you are going to want crit boost pretty much all the time. Ele crit is nice but it is not mandatory, you will want it depending on how important element is for the monster you are facing.

5) Misc
-Challenger +X

So this is +20 raw and +15% affinity when facing enraged targets, which will be the majority of the time in G rank but not 100% of the time. When putting this on a set you have to consider that you will probably be weaker than another set when the monster is not enraged but stronger than another when it is in effect. So it is another monster conditional skill, but the payoff is good when it is on. This is especially good on blast DBs since you will have more space to invest in skills since you don't need ele skills.

In general when making a set this is what you want to do

1) Pick the blade
2) Choose the sharpness skills needed for it (if necessary)
3) Add CE but be prepared to change if its +1,+2, or +3. Add WE if applicable, if not add RO. Add crit boost
4) If element is important for what you are facing, add specific element +2 and ele crit. If not, add Challenger +X.

I'll post an example using Lagi DBs, say we are facing S Narga (Hitzone for the head is 40/25 or 55/30 when angry)

-No sharpness skills are needed since they have long white and the jump to purple is not worth the damage loss
-With 20% innate affinity we can reach 100% by adding CE+3 and WE. We also add crit boost.
-With 100% affinity ele crit is going to give us a lot of damage so we add that as well as thunder attack +2 to make our elemental damage even higher.

Fire DB's.png
22KB, 717x232px
>>174885373
Things won't be as easy as this but this is what you want to do in general. One last thing I would say is that picking the blade is the hardest part and that its in your best interest to consider the skills that go along with the blade rather than just focusing on the blade itself. For example if you look at pic related you will see that the two top blades are the eternal blades and the agnaktor inferno. When just comparing the two by themselves you may think that the Inferno has the edge. But if you consider the fact that if both blades are using a set such as:

-Fire Atk +2
-Sharpness +2
-Weakness Exploit
-Elemental Crit
-Critical Boost

and that the eternal blades have 3 slots, you can actually fit CE+2 on top of the above set. Now the difference between the two shifts towards the eternal blades.

So make sure to compare each blade at their best to see which is right for the occasion. When you do the math you will find out that these differences are mostly just small things as long as you have the relevant skills so really you can just pick a blade, some relevant skills, and be done with it if you aren't interested in TAs or w/e.
>>
>>174886063
You're not supposed to run S+2 on these two IIRC.
>>
>>174886398
Yeah, it was mostly an example to illustrate the importance of slots on weapons but I too am also doubting whether I should be investing in sharpness +2 or not. What sharpness skills/HA combo are you implying is better?
>>
>>174886063
I see people using the Salamanders more frequently than Agnaktor Inferno. Is the 35% innate affinity worth more than 11 element?
>>
>>174886745
RS/AR, also >>174886821

I don't follow XX enough but I believe Raw/Fire ratio is almost always so unbalanced pure either is always better, unlike Thunder, but even then I'm not sure since the main offender is Chameleos and we got the Worn DB for it.

>>174886821
It depends on the monster but I don't think the salamanders are worth using in general because affinity is so easy to add in XX. Say we have RS, Ch+2 and WE/c boost. That gives us 320 attack at blue sharpness with 100% affinity vs enraged targets or 537 effective raw.

If we compare this to the set I just listed then at 87.5% affinity Eternal starblade is equal to the salamander set in terms of raw. But it only has 70% affinity so its effective raw is 506. So we are trading 31 raw for 11 element.

The thing about fire specifically is that the hitzones are often pretty element favored. Something like ludroth is 65/40 which is insane, and if we talk about chameleos then even more so. In general the 11 element is ~44 raw so it should win out even on things like seltas queen which is 80/30 or Zamtrios 75/30. And this isn't considering the fact that salamanders was using challenger, so its power isnt constant.

I do think the salamanders are good specifically in the snow lagombi matchup though, and this is because the lack of WE makes the innate affinity much more valuable. That is why I posted that vid of the person using salamanders + CE + RO for 95% affinity which wouldnt be possible with either ESB or agnaktor inferno
>>
>>174888226
It's not "usable" compared to other weapons, granted you use Striker on Cham with the reduced skillset in X it's only logical they would suck.
It's good but the fire weapons reach higher with skills and crits.
They're not an option in Gen but they might be in XX

No. But you're definitely gonna be shittalked in discord room or in the thread.

Realistically, no.

>>174889395
Why do you even ask me, obviously Ele crit, if you wanted AuL you wouldn't use a Fire weapon to begin with.

Alright well in the previous argument the ESB build already had ele crit in it so this doesn't change anything in terms of results.
We have changed from comparing 31 raw vs 11 element (with the addition damage of ele crit) to 31 raw vs 11 element. The gap hasn't closed

If you chose AuM then it would be 56 raw to 11 element (with ele crit). The comparison here isn't plain to see so I would have to calc it vs specific monsters

Holy hell, just played with a jap who had the shittiest connection. Him and the monster were just jittering all over the place, and as far as I can tell no one else was. This would be fine, except he went the wrong fucking way when the valfalk limped off to sleep. How does he function in day to day life

amatsu is extremely weak to brave hbg anyway. if speedrunners can do a sub 5 on a hunt that doesn't require much in the way of positioning and technical skill, i don't see why sub 6 from a shitter is unbelievable

30% affinity beats any amount of element. Shot types matter too.
But by all means, list those magical relevant element bows.
Not that bow is worth using in its bugged state anyway.

Astalos didn't show up until about 8-10 minutes in. I had smoke bombs, but the second monster doesn't seem to come in at a set time, so I missed the timing on that. I just had to let astalos help me finish off dreadking. Flashbombs helped ot keep astalos at bay a little bit.

The relevant bows are, off the top of my head, Glavenus, Valfalk, Zinogre, Mizutsune, Deviant Mizutsune and Alatreon. There are no good Ice bows IIRC, but Ice is shit anyway.

No really, who the fuck do you think you are to say such retardation? Did you even know about Monster Hunter before P3rd? Go play any of those games thoroughly and tell us there weren't leagues of difference between weapon performance.

Im not getting carried, im doing my part atacking the monster with good end game whater weaponds and not carting. The quest itself is not hard at all is a fucking normal brachidios that take max 3 min with good end game gear and 4 people.

Is just pure japanice autismo specting for everyone to go full mix max so the quest take 2 min instead of 3
