Well They have like 3 or 4 times normal health so you are intended to ignore them because you probably don't have the weapon strength to take that amount of health down a timely fashion. Congrats to you since you did though i suppose.

Then I switched over to adept CB- which gives the defensive stuff I loved about GL. I am also trying aerial glaive which is just nuts. Still haven't decided on a ranged option though. You did good capping him on that quest because they have 2-3x as much HP as they normally do in them

I need to farm Plesioth stuff and I join a pub where the sole person there tells me that gunners are useless but I convince him to let me use my useless light bow gun by just telling him to humor me. He decides to go with just the two of us, he dies all three times, and then kicks me. Pubs are wonderful, sometimes.

On a plesioth of all things too. I can't think of a monster that I'd rather gun every drat time than him. Have they taken out removing the limiters on BG in generations and just replaced it with hunter arts?

i am tim! posted:Well maybe if you weren't distracting him so much by being so useless he wouldn't have died, you ever think of that? The funny thing was that I was using my support gun because Plesioth is annoying for melee users. I was healing him, boosting his defense, and stunning the Plesioth constantly with special rounds. Flython posted:On a plesioth of all things too. I can't think of a monster that I'd rather gun every drat time than him. They're hidden behind hunter arts now...mostly. The "reload everything" ability for LBG is an art called "Full House" now that gets progressively faster as it levels up. Wyvren Fire is now just innate in a few more powerful guns as secondary ammo that it comes pre-stocked with. I've been using the Adept style because the worst thing in the world was getting targeted by monsters with your piddly defense, and you get a "power reload" where you immediately reload after dodging and fire more powerful rounds for about ten seconds afterwards. If you're using the HBG, you can push X to immediately drop into crouching fire, or if you're using the LBG you can push X to sprint with your gun drawn after reloading. There's a lot of quality of life changes for gunners in general. You can undraw into reload, and...well the rest is for heavy gunners. You can dodge roll out of crouching fire in any direction and immediately drop down into crouching fire again during that if you just need to reset the counter. You can also fire your guns in midair and cancel reload animations with hunter arts. Theta Zero fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Aug 18, 2016 |

I picked up the game super late and I'm having a lot of fun, but I'm trying to get into the Bow and the Hidden Bow isn't really doing it for me, the pierce shots are too situational for these low-rank monsters. I want to get a Rapid shot bow but I don't know which to pick, most just seem either really vanilla or I can't make them until 6*, and I only just now got to 5*. Any thoughts, friends? Also, is the Airship Horn good? I really want to make it for the novelty.

Airship Horn song selection isn't bad, but its raw damage is always outpaced but other horns at every level, and it caps at green sharpness without sharpness+. It's the first Blast horn you can make at least.

Yeah, Bow selection sucks hardcore in early LR. Like you said, you're fighting small monsters, so Rapid is best. Problem is, there aren't a lot of Bows with Rapid Lv3 in the third charge that can take power coatings. I just leveled up the Petrified Bow. Then made the Sonic Bow. Just need some bugs to make it. Then you can level it up when you get access to the Volcano with some Hercudromes. From there I made the Blango Fur Bow. At level 3 it can use level lv2 power coatings. The Glavenus Bow is good too. But at the end of the day, you'll end up using Teostra's Bow. It's just too good.

Any cool skills that can fit in 4x oo slots? I'm currently running Glavenus S with a nice charm that puts me at a total of +16 Handicraft +10 Grinder +3 Gloves Off. Right now I just have Evasion jewels slotted in so I can get E+2 with a 2 slot weapon. I have enough points in Handicraft where I could gem in Speed Sharpening or Razor Sharp while still maintaining S+1, but I don't know how worth it that would be.

Depends on the weapon. I know I'd much rather have S+1 and Razor Sharp than S+2. If your preferred weapon's sharpness bar isn't that long, maybe S+2 would be better, though.

I was looking at Glavenus too but unfortunately he's a bit later than the other three flagships. Unless I wanted to fight it in that preview "scare you" mission.

I swapped from Adept Switch Axe over to Adept Longsword after I found out about the changes made to the weapon, and MAN is it a blast! The counter spirit strike is finicky to get used to but so much easier to pull off than the circle swing. I'm liking the HA that's gives me a maxed out spirit gauge, doubly so if I can time it well with the monster being down so I can fade chain a massive spirit combo. That said, I'm super to run with the counter attack art. Is that one worth it, it looks so dang cool. Also, on my first proper hunt of Astalos, I found myself absolutely chumping the poo poo out of him with perfect dodges and a constant red spirit gauge. Until I mentioned that out loud to my wife at which point he proceeded to smack me into a few walls, a tree, and then into the cart. EDIT: I'm also looking at trying out SnS, striker style. Looks like Elemental weapons are the way to go, so I know I'll be best served with a variety of elemental swords, but would I be able to use a Burst element SnS as something of a "catch all" element? i am tim! fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Aug 18, 2016 |

I was burning out super hard on this game trying to solo my way up to high rank to actually get to content worth playing, so I took a break from adept GS to see what gunlances I could make. Ended up going with the glavenus one because if I'm playing a weapon about making explosions I want the strongest explosions I can get. Made the rhenoplos set and gemmed up to artillery expert, ate for the explosions skill... And murdered the mizutsune key in less than twelve minutes.  I'm taking 20 minutes average to solo things with my GS. This is basically cheating. Also, something neat I found that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else before is that the Dragon Breath hunter art locks your gauge at max no matter what. The obvious use is for the damage boost to shelling and not having to micromanage the gauge for stabbing for a bit, but it also works as a fantastic panic button if, say, you didn't realize your gauge unlocked and you overheat accidentally. It'll pop you right back into red and lock you there for good measure. As far as I can tell it's the only way in the game to cancel overheating as a result of going past red.

Dragon's Breath is fantastic for normal GLs, especially since I seem to keep underestimating the strength of full bursts. It's pretty much mandatory in my Aerial GL experience. Glad you're finding something else you enjoy. I'd really encourage branching out to more stuff; I always hated lances, but this game makes them surprisingly fun.

Blast element isn't necessarily a catch all, there are some monsters that are resistant. Not as resistant as most monsters are to some elements, so yeah, it's better than the literal 0 element damage you would do to a lot of targets otherwise. Not a bad idea though. Blast is good, and making a set for it is pretty easy. Fortunately, most of the blast resistant monsters are vulnerable to Water instead. So if you want a tool to cover them, there you go.

The best part of Dragon's Breath is not that it takes you out of overheat status, but that it adds a monstrous damage boost to your shells while in effect. I think they each get 10 raw and 10 fire damage, which ends up being buckets of pain with a normal GL. I've started taking it over Blast Dash, because it's just amazing.

GL is one of the worst weapons in the game in terms of speed kills, so I wouldn't get too excited on that front  It sounds like the weapon clicks with you which is awesome! If you're getting to High Rank soon I recommend starting on the Seregios GL, it's a great late game weapon. It's a Long type so it's OK with most styles, though I tend to use it with Striker or Adept. Armour wise they made it easy on us in Gen really -- full set of Seltas S gets you Artillery Expert, Razor Sharp and Heroes Talisman (which nullifies small monster attacks which is great for GL, since we're so trip-prone). No slots, but a good charm and slotted weapon can let you squeeze another skill in. On the down side, some guy on Redditch ran the numbers, and actually in late game the pokes far out damage the shells in most situations again, unless you're using Wide. Someday Capcom please figure out how to balance this weapon!

The biggest impediment, aside from lance being a little clumsy and easy to whiff, is the dodge being replaced with a backsteb. Aerial has its own issues, but having a forward facing roll can making normalize the learning curve a little so you can maybe go striker and figure out the backstep after you have a better feel for how the weapon handles. Lance is incredibly fun though. At least in Striker (and historically) it has a really steady rhythm, and with an evasion set can really give you a sense of total control over a hunt. Very much like a boxing game with the ducking and weaving.

So I didn't realise Aerial SA was so OP until I was too far into it to really change, now I'm an established HRbreak hunter I'd like to try another blademaster weapon. Striker SnS looks like mad fun, but does anyone have any other testimonials to sway my decision? I'm in the process of making a HBG set because I've never tried Gunner before also
