Happy Noodle Boy posted:The long cool down is not worth putting up with when you could have the wirebugs available to dodge through attacks and roars (and if lined up right, will also do a good chunk of damage. It’s like 5-6 hits if they all connect). Kunai is terrible. mightygerm posted:Piercing bind doesn't crit, doesn't have elemental damage MVs, and needs a solid opening to use since it steps you back + you need to get the maximum number of hits in during the duration. You can just dodge through roars and attacks the same. You can follow-up piercing with either demon flurry or feral demon mode to close the gap and do damage. I don't feel that either Piercing or Vault are particularly good but I only take vault regularly for flying enemies and the last boss.

I absolutely could keep killing all these same monsters with my omega perfect gear for no reason but the pleasure of it. But it's nice to chase a plate I don't technically need. It still feels like a game to be rolling random talismans on the off chance I get one that makes my wheels turn. "Oh, but if I have double guard on my talisman now, I don't need this piece of guard armor to get to 3, what could I put in THAT spot to make this build do something slightly different?"

My big frustration is that not every skill is on the Moonbow selection list. I'd be fine taking lower potential quality if I could target better. Like, I want a Protective Polish charm for the cat claws, but you sure as poo poo can't target one!

You can see where the highest tier of weapons will slot in, probably from the late April patch, to the trees on Kiranico. Narg, Zinogre, and Jyura have the usual named, final looking CBs in the tree already but Tigrex and Diablos, traditionally strong CBs, have only their II versions.

Augus posted:is the ideal method for crafting Charms just farming the final boss endlessly lol I've seen the two methods to be (7 Star) Rampage or Final Boss. Final boss is apparently better if you can manage a fast solo. Rampage seems better if you have friends and don't want to focus too hard? Also you can do Ibushi rampages and use that as fodder on top of the rampage tickets and other monster drops rampages dump on you. v1ld posted:You can see where the highest tier of weapons will slot in, probably from the late April patch, to the trees on Kiranico.

v1ld posted:Does CB Morphing Advance have iframes or is it only hyper armor? The guard point one I think is particularly good since it moves the gp on axe->sword to the very beginning of the move like sword->axe has, and it's not quite as slow as it looks because you can cancel it right when the stab hits. As cool as it looks, I'm not a fan of the saw in this one. It seems like its just roughly double damage with roughly twice as long animations thanks to the huge hit stop, which World didn't have. I love using the sword too so it makes for a boring playstyle to me.

Good point on the CB saw animation being twice as long. Phials are easy to get, especially with Load Shells, so that's not a big plus for saw mode in itself. Will be interesting to see how those individual saw hits factor in elemental damage. It'd be cool if saw was good for elemental, more build variations. Finished the Goss CB last night and it has ice, will test with it later today.

So for those of you well into the endgame, what's the difference between an ok, easy to get charm and a good, rng charm? From what I read here, sounds like WEX 1 + slots is in the ok category, while WEX 2 + another skill at 3 + slots is in the hard to get category. Which is a difference of 4 slots unless you can get another skill with WEX 1. Can you? E: assuming that next couple of patches will add in missing decos along with missing weapons in trees. And probably new sources of charms too, or so I hope. v1ld fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Apr 12, 2021 |

I've had enough side materials that I haven't needed to "farm" to meld yet. Gonna open up a christmas pack of 10 full melds soon. I'm not sure what to pursue next, probably elementally-focused dual blades? Maybe try and find a better HBG than the Ladybug (sticky) or Barioth (pierce) one? Though honestly the goal is to clear every quest once as is custom.

I'm new to monster hunting and apparently spent 60 hours with an OP Guardian weapon in MH:World (base - sans Iceborne). Now I'm flailing about the post-story game and trying to use the standard weapons. Am I supposed to use a different weapon type (poison, blast, etc) to target each monster's weakness, or should I pick the coolest looking one and upgrade it as I go? They all seem so weak compared to the Guardian weapons and I spend more time chasing monsters down than poking at them.

Is there not a way to tie a radial menu loadout to an equipment loadout? I thought it would work the same way as World but I keep finding myself with ammo crafting when I need a whetstone. It’s getting pretty frustrating to change between melee and range with the need to go into the start menu to change a 3rd loadout set.

Not so Tigrex, Diablos, a couple of new late game mons - they only have the I and II versions so far. Rarity 7 only has one level in the tree, they'll probably add the second level in the next patch?

It’s getting pretty frustrating to change between melee and range with the need to go into the start menu to change a 3rd loadout set. Yeah this was another baffling change to me. You can create specific wheels and assign them to specific directions on the d-pad but then you run into the same issue of constantly having going into the start menu to swap in and out wheels, mostly an issue for gunners since for you only really need one wheel for melee and another wheel for communication but depending on how many ammo types you run between your bowgun sets it can balloon pretty quickly

The inventory UI has taken some steps back from World. World let you swap item positions easily, whereas doing that here involves juggling back and forth into the other container. World lets you move one of an item with R and all with Zr, here it's an awkward menu with pop-up to count. There's more like this. Not a fan of the Y menu, feels a bit clunky. World handled this better.

lets hang out posted:once you know what you're doing with wirebugs it's pretty easy to keep with or often beat dog riders to where they're going. worst place is that long slope on the east side of the volcano map, haven't found any good way to get around running all the way up it. But a good Wirebug person that is also good with the dog and quick mounting can beat a pure good Wirebug person. I have dog bound to an easy quick tap combo that I can hit the second I land on a good dog area on the way to the next Wirebug needed area. Plus you can yoshi the dog for a good height boost climbs.just sprint at the wall, make dog jump about 5 feet away, and if he can't clear it, jump off into auto wall mode. Wirebug when needed. Something people might not know. The dog can get up onto two story surfaces if you do the jump far enough out so you hit the wall at max height. I do agree that cats bring more utilities to the fights though. I found myself leaning on my cats assistance too much for healing and it was making me sloppy.

I've run into a lot of sketchy final boss hunts where people are encountering it for the first time and get carted once or twice. I think Japanese players have found a strategy that involves stoking the furnace a bunch of times to obliterate the final wave. I've had a few runs where two guys stop fighting and shovel coal like a child laborer in Victorian England, and then erase the boss with the nuke in seconds. I dunno if that's all there is to the strategy but it seems like it works well. Either way, 7* rampage mode is very easy and you can grind through it while watching TV.

They all seem so weak compared to the Guardian weapons and I spend more time chasing monsters down than poking at them. Depends on the weapon type. Slow, big hit weapons like GS or Hammer ate easier to play with big raw damage. Fast, multi hit weapons like DB or SnS do very well with elemental damage (ice, water, fire, thunder, dragon) - but they also do very well with pure raw. Typically, weapons with high elemental will have lower raw or affinity to compensate. Status weapons like poison, blast are also very viable but they too usually give up some raw damage to compensate. Unlike elemental, these work by building up the status to a threshold at which it procs and takes effect. The threshold increases after each proc, so these have diminishing returns over the hunt. Again, these usually do better with fast weapons that can get in a lot of hits quickly. But viable in other weapons too. Suggest you pick some good raw damage weapons to start with since you can ignore the monster's weaknesses with those. Branch out later. For raw, you're looking at the damage value, the affinity value and the sharpness. Crits give you 25% extra damage, so affinity * .25 * raw tells you how much raw affinity adds. Sharpness is a multiplier on your raw damage. Yellow: 1.0 Green: 1.05 (5%) Blue: 1.2 White: 1.32 If you like a particular weapon, ask here for suggestions on good post game picks of that type. v1ld fucked around with this message at 17:51 on Apr 12, 2021 |

This World CB guide has a ton of cool info: https://mhwbuilds.net/charge-blade-guide/ Including a clear description of how Guard actually works under the hood, useful for all shield weapons: https://mhwbuilds.net/charge-blade-guide/#section2-2 quote:Read this for how the game actually calculates knockback received. Every monster attack has an associated damage value and knockback value. The knockback value is a whole number, with most knockback values falling between 10 and 100. This knockback value interacts with the “guard thresholds” of the weapon used to block the attack. The Guard Thresholds for Charge Blade are 14 and 39. This means any attack with knockback value of 14 or less is small knockback when blocked using Charge Blade, anything from 15 to 39 is medium knockback, and anything 40 or higher is large knockback.
