I didn't play World, so the relative comparisons aren't meaningful to me, but I really wish the Ground Splitter buff didn't go away when you sheathed your weapon. As it is, if I pull off the skill but the monster is now on the other side of the room, I now have to make the tactical decision between discarding the buff immediately and wasting a wirebug or spamming backhops to get back into position, wasting stamina and probably still taking longer to get into position compared to just running

I just saw a Tetranadon-Azuros turf war, and I honestly thought before that they were doing away with Turf war animations.

Still slowly going through the game. Just got 2 star hub because I could and I love playing armor and weapon pokemon.

Agreed, it's annoying that you lose the buff on sheathe. I haven't quite internalized Blast Dash movement yet, wonder if that lets you keep the buff.

Dunno about stamina costs, but the double backhop with the extended second one is faster than running even ignoring sheathe times - though I do have EE2 on my charm. Maybe it's not as fast without it.

Is the Lance Shield Charge better than it seems? Because it seems like something it did not really need in exchange for one of its better abilities.

Any fun/unusual charge blade builds worth checking out? I'm using a fairly started attack up/crit up/morph build and it does great numbers, but I'm playing pretty mindlessly in the postgame now and wanna see if I can shake things up a bit.

In this case, wyrmstake boost is removed because it doesn't have any effect if the gunlance naturally has shelling level 5, so it does nothing for the Howlitzer.

Winged Orpheus posted:

I haven't tested it myself but the internet says Wyrmstake boost doesn't do anything on Howlitzer because it's already level 5, so it does level 5 Wyrmstake damage whether it's boosted or not

So I know I want to do 2 gathering policies because I want 2 pilfer. What are some good skills to roll for? Also how do I level them up fast I'm at Rank 4ish and they are still level like 12 -15

The monsters looked good I guess? If I could put a finger on the movie's biggest weakness it's how mean-spirited it is, both in how the humans treat the monsters and how the humans treat each other. Like why was everyone so drat mean lol

What’s the current go-to armor for great sword. I currently have a bunch of random stuff that just so happens to have a few of the _ Draw skills, but certainly there’s better.

Dirk the Average posted:

For the passives, status attack up and KO king are the two big ones; you don't use cats for their damage, more for utility.

For the actives, it depends on your weapon and playstyle; I personally like healing bubble, vase of vitality, and either shock tripper or shock trap. Different people prefer different things; you might want stamina reduction for bow/dual blades, or power drum for attack/defense, for instance.

For leveling, I just throw them in the dojo and feed the dojo a laginapple. It only costs you one apple for 10 quests, and usually levels them up a few levels each time. Once they hit level 20, they learn pilfer, and you can take them with you from there.

Hearing Gaijinhunter talk about this made it a hard pass for me. That the humans in MH are generally all very friendly and cooperative with each other is a big draw of the series to me. A Monster Hunter where the hunter and the village elder figures are assholes to someone needing help isn't Monster Hunter at all imo.

Gout table/痛風テーブル (Weakness Exploit 2 Windproof 2 s0-0-0)
Named after the signature charm Weakness Exploit(痛撃) + Windproof (風圧耐性), so far this is one of the most popular (?) table and definitely the most discussed table in JP/CN community. In fact I believe "gout table" has gone trending in JP twitter at some point.

High Performance Table/高機能テーブル (Attack up 3 Quick Sheath 2 s1-1-0)
This appears to be an intermediate table which regrettably leads to the gout table.
CN players have identified 3 branches of this table:

a. Wex2 Horn Maestro s0 -> Evade Extender 3 Good Luck 1 s2 -> Atk3 QS2 s11-> Wex2 s11 -> gout table
b. Wex2 Recoil2 s1-> Atk3 QS2 s11-> gout table
c. Wex2 Speed Eating1 s3 -> Wex1 s111 -> Wex2 Recoil2 s1-> Atk3 QS2 s11-> gout table

Regrettably some of the lists seem to loop, which means you can never obtain certain charms if you are stuck on a certain table.

Like any weapon, memorize the key combos and deliberately input them instead of mashing buttons. Practice your positioning in the training area.

Man. I really hope we get the ability to re-roll buddy skills in a patch. I scouted a bunch of buddies modeled after childhood pets, but I didn't know what skills were good to look out for and now I wouldn't want to bring any of them with me on serious hunts.

threelemmings posted:

Did you save the design when you created them? You can ask the buddy guy to scout by setting the appearance for both and class for the cats and every mission you take you get to see six(?) different palico and palamute skillsets all with the same appearance. Just give them the correct name when you recruit them.
