Perry Mason Jar posted:Lazy? I've done at least five Narga hunts. Marrow and Medulla are MYTHS. Made up!! do low rank for marrow. cap drop rate is very low, so make sure you carve. carve chance is the same (cut the tail if you can) for HR and LR, but it has a chance to show up as a reward in LR, where on HR it does not. i did about a billion HR nargacuga just needing 1 marrow before I realized this and got multiple from my first LR try. medulla has basically the same drop table on HR as marrow does on LR, and only drops in HR, so you gotta keep going for that. again cut tail if you can and carve dont cap since it has over double the carve drop rate compared to capping.

Kobogartimer posted:Exhaust and KO are the same status attack, one on the body and one on the head. I guess that makes sense. I knew that blunt weapons build exhaust/KO depending on where you hit, but I never made the connection that the two were literally the same status. This led me to test if exhaust coatings/ammo also KO and sure enough they do, huh.

Kilazar posted:I am not finding this. Can you be more specific? Sorry I missed this, under options/gyroscope there's an option below Horizontal Sensitivity - Handheld Mode called (R) Up/Down Controls, this lets you use the stick to move the camera up and down on the Y axis while gyro aiming. I might have crossed wires for what was being asked but it lets you do big movement on the stick and small adjustments by tilting the controller to make aiming a lot more fluid than having to tilt the controller up and down exclusively in gyro mode for Y-axis control.

I was just tooling around with a new build and the Absolute Power Shot switch skill for the bow seems to apply that exhaust/KO effect to A button volleys, but it also applies them to silkbind shots from the jump/shoot switch skills since those also count as the powershot moves on the A button. I don't know if raw damage numbers affect how reliably it applies it but with 309 attack I am KOing the training dummy with one full stamina bar ending a combo with the aerial power shot volley.

the key thing about rathalos is that you're safe parked under his rear end an astonishing amount of the time. while he's in the air you're ok if you're just slightly off of his center axis, and you always want to be close rather than far. if you just try to spend most of your time inside his rear end in a top hat you will do surprisingly well. plus that's easy access to his tail. rear end parking works for a surprising amount of tall monsters. diablos, rathian, etc. I don't think it works on anjie but that boy has a very weird hitbox in general.

Can someone help me understand why sometimes Rank 5 (and even 4) seem to outclass Rank 6 weapons, if numbers are all I’m looking at? I’m talking especially Bow here. There’s a number of Rank 6 bows where the combined raw damage + elemental dmg + affinity just don’t seem worth their cost, especially compared to Rank 5 bows (and one Rank 4 bow, yes hosed up Khezu bow, I mean you). Is it “slots”, which I guess means room for decorations? I know for Bow specifically there’s also the arrow/shot type... but even so... it seems like some Rank 6 weapons just aren’t as good as certain other Rank 5. What am I missing?

Without knowing exactly which ones you're looking at, you also have charge levels to consider as well as coatings (specifically if they have access to power coats) and rampage skills like elemental exploit. Some weapons are just bad though. I will say the Khezu bow definitely does not outclass Tobi's.

Bishaten angel-looking bow, forget the name, which has high raw damage but no elemental or affinity, and I think it’s rank 5, and the Rakna Kadaki fire bow, which has decent raw damage + affinity + fire damage. The Khezu elemental core bow still seems to do better than both of these bows in many cases. I often find myself doing 15-20 x5 damage with the level 2/3 shots of the Khezu bow. It may also be that more monsters appear to be weak to thunder than anything else. I guess what I’m saying is that this Khezu bow is really good.

Yeah looking through the hunters notes I just casually noticed that Thunder and Fire were this game's big elemental weaknesses. The messed up thing is that the amount of bonus damage monsters take from those two elements is higher on average than the amount of bonus damage monsters weak to the other elements take. Like, if a monster is weak to thunder, it's usually REALLY weak to thunder. Additionally hosed up is that there are LBGs that shoot Fire/Thunder and Piercing Fire/Thunder that each have Weakness Exploit, so they're the best weapon of their respective element in every single regard. If you want Weakness Exploit on a Dragon/Ice/Water gun you have to make some sort of very large concession

It didn't even cross my mind that Exhaust coatings for bow could KO, I was just hitting the body trying to get the monster tired. As a lifelong Hammer bro, I'm ashamed I didn't make that connection immediately. Late in Iceborne, Bow felt kind of anemic to me; but it is so fun to play in Rise, it's becoming a top weapon for me again. There really is some great variation in how you can play it, and tons of options for any scenario. I like, JUST got off of a 600 hour MHW bender and I was worried it would make Rise stale; but dammit, the weapons are fun to use!

I know Rathalos is the fire element exploit LBG but I thought Almudron is the only other element exploit LBG and it's primarily for water? It has ice/thunder but in very limited clip size. What's the thunder element exploit LBG you're talking about?

I'm liking the pierce ones. Usually, I deal with 20 coatings by just not expecting to get more than one status ailment proc. I use up Power ammo, and unless I'm having trouble, it's not too bad to finish the fight with no coating or close-range. There is an option to stock vials and materials to craft more coatings on the go, but I've never really felt that was worth the time and the cost. Worse comes to worse, you can run to a camp and restock.

Hey guys this is my first rodeo. I just got to high rank content. Am i right i saying this only in the hub. If so- how doable is the hub content solo. I have been playing online a bit but have no actually friends playing atm and even though its fun- i much prefer playing solo because it feels less of a free for all... For reference - i can only remember dying about 4 times up to this point.

Give the Khezu bow, rank 4 , Exploded Core or something, a try. For some reason it is so powerful. It might just be that I really work well with spread shots. For reference, I just spent close to 100k upgrading the Tobi Kadachi bow all the way to rank 6 and it doesn’t feel like a substantial upgrade (maybe I need to find Rapid Up skills). Ok yeah good to know Re coatings, I basically only plan to ever land one status effect. I guess that’s just the way it goes.

Here is my current bow build. It is a KO build and it plays like shooting hammers out of a bow. - Anja glove/chest/belt, Hunter legs, Rathalos helmet. - Pendant w/ 2 constitution, 2 constitution gems, one evade extend gem. - Rank three Anjanath bow in the bone tree with brutal strike ramp-up - Absolute power shot + aerial switch skills, wirebug up and aim for the head. - Powercharm + Powertalon 7atk+, 4con, 2slugger, 0 crit, 309dmg The Anjanath bow has really high base damage and a courtesy amount of fire damage at 9 so you can shoot anything in the head with it and it will fall down. If you don't want to build a bunch of elemental bow gear consider giving knockout bow a try. The Anjanath bows take power coating and blast coating so you get the two most fun coatings on top of everything else. The armor set is also pink and black so it looks really cool.

High Rank stuff is more or less doable solo but it will take quite a bit of time, and once you reach the highest rank, 7, solo becomes a huge risk. HR7 feels substantially more difficult than everything prior. It’s not uncommon for people to die in 1-2 hits, and I’d say something like 30-40% of my Rank 7 hunts end in failure.

minya posted:what makes this a KO build? It has -20% affinity, which becomes a chance for 150% damage crits with the Brutal Strike ramp-up skill, and since the damage is so high the numbers get really big.. It does a lot of base damage and the Absolute Power Shot applies KO effect when you press A or use the silkbind skills. I was knocking monsters down with it before I thought to switch to APS and now it knocks them down and applies the KO effect. What's most important is that it's fun, it does big damage numbers on everything and you look cool.

Science_enthusiast posted:Ah ok- have i essentially exhausted the game of intended single player content? No, you can do everything single player. Things will scale up if you do multi in hub, but everything can (and is intended to be able to) be done solo. e: rampages are the one thing that are kinda bleh single player, but they are doable. I never had issues doing any single player hunts and in fact usually am faster solo than with a group even on 7 star quests.

My Meowcenaries brought me back a Cutejelly and it let me make Dual Blades that are just a frilly parasol. They are actually pretty rad though, decent raw and paralysis and they have a small sliver of blue sharpness which is the first I've seen available on anything so far. It was pretty fun to kill an Anjanath with an umbrella coated with paralyzing agents.

After feeling confident for a while with my Greatsword skills, I think I will practice with the charge blade. Die Walkure/ K Captain's blade tree looks really cool and I think I may just gently caress around with it entirely based around how nice it looks. Not for any gameplay reason, it just looks very pretty. Anyway, in regards to greatsword I feel like Earplugs would at this point be my biggest boost to DPS. I need decorations for that as much as possible, because so many True Charged Slashes are getting interrupted by roars.

So do rampage skills you put on your weapon only work in rampages? I’m guessing yes but ... I don’t know. Also huge shout out to the random French guy who joined my lobby and helped me hit high rank. This game sure is great!

If you are willing to switch to Rage Slash over TCS than between that, Adamant Charge Slash, and Tackle, roars would be little more than gigantic openings for you.

minya posted:what makes this a KO build? Negative affinity just means your "crits" do less damage. You can still get it into positive numbers with skills like weakness exploit if you're hitting weak spots (you should always hit weak spots), but even if they wasn't a factor, some weapons just have so much raw/element damage that it is worth using even with negative affinity. They shouldn't be dismissed automatically.
