i definitely spam dragon piercer on jin lol
#Monster Hunter Wilds
plush ravine
You can charge step and shoot another dragon piercer in much less time after the first
I think that might be new in wilds
The damage is good if the monster never moves or fights back
You can probably even build around it with special ammo boost, g doshuligma bow, max might
Only minor trolling

How has the late game been for you guys?
unborn pivot
once i get a spread jewel prob gonna focus on wow till title update
but its been fun
icy dirge
Nice, good to hear. Are you playing mp or mostly solo?
unborn pivot
Mp with guildies and irl friends
has trivialized the game tho lol, hoping archtempered adds some bite to these monsters
lofty path
Nice, good to hear. Are you playing mp or mostly solo?
mostly solo overall
sometimes farming with friends
icy dirge
I've been solo overall too, helping a guildie here and there but that's it.
I enjoy the solo hunt more than mp
lofty path
makes it really annoying to read him
icy dirge
I have pretty much every monster tempered on farm at this point
The hardest is probably temp gore
unborn pivot
tempered gore yeah
hes the only one any of us cart to anymore
maybe arkveld in wyveria when half his shit clips thru walls lol
i do think all of the HR monsters should have had tempered stats by default tho
base non tempered monsters fall over in like 2 min its absurd
icy dirge
In the meantime, even tho the elemental for LS isn't great, I ended up farming all the (better ish) elementals. Which required a bunch of hunter 3 and that was a pain to get.
But for now my absolute most fun build is 2gore 3ark
Frenzy goes brrr
unborn pivot
a shame that crit element doesnt work
icy dirge
Doesn't work on what
unborn pivot
it just doesnt work rn its bugged
unborn pivot
so gore magala weapon stocks way down rn
artian dragon stocks way up
until bugfix at least
icy dirge
Nevertheless this is my hardest hitting build, reaching 100% crit
icy dirge
artian dragon stocks way up
I could just use ark LS, has focus3 tho and no CRIT, while gore has 20
unborn pivot
thats why id go dragon artian
will also have 20 crit
and 3 lvl 3 deco slots to max out dragon atk/crit boost
icy dirge
All I'm missing is good R3 Deco's 😦
unborn pivot
yep taking me forever to find spread lol
icy dirge
Why would i

I love flowers
timber crystal
BIG FLOWERER
grim plinth
was my first try and I had to take a shit but seems legit
there's also some improvements you can do from the guide to be even more efficient
grim plinth
honestly hard to tell ngl
but def lower than 20 minutes and :
- was my first time so not efficient
- you can do couple improvements from the guide
- I have some flowers left over from the time I farmed them
timber crystal
Honestly a bit stupid that this is the optimized method haha
But in theory its like 4x faster
If you were just purely trying to farm deco’s
grim plinth
fuck man why does armor need tohave diff decorations, all my cooking is ruined
grim plinth
nvm I don't love flowers anymore
icy dirge
nvm I don't love flowers anymore
2 boring?
plush ravine
deco farm is all there is right now
if you skip that, there's no video game left
and you're just waiting on the content update
grim plinth
2 boring?
the farm of the flowers in itself is fine
chain resting to sell them 1 by 1 is not
took me like 20k guild points to trade the 40ish flowers I farmed
and I didn't even target only decorations
icy dirge
and I didn't even target only decorations
I tried it already and from 60decos the only good one Was crit3
unborn pivot
yeah with crit element not working
plush ravine
the best bow build
sick venture
oh

bow is total shit

in speed runs?
is that wrong?
i thought tempered ark bow times were really really bad
there's no official rule set or site for runs yet though

if that's the optimal way to play bow I'm swapping weapons
plush ravine
it might just be for ark because of the big weak spots and high ele res
that's probably only optimal if you are a genius god gamer and can abuse max might and heroics
plush ravine
you need to ask for consent
unborn pivot
also like you dont have to play like a speedrunner lol
plush ravine
yeah i'm gonna grief sos arkvelds with random pierce ele bows out of the box no matter how good dragon piercer is
unborn pivot
i saw a bow speedrun using spread shots that did it in like 3’40”
so a minute slower for a much safer playstyle thats also more engaging
plush ravine
yeah it's fun
unborn pivot
yeah ive been using spreadshot combo since world im not gonna start doing dragonpiercer cheese now
plush ravine
i think the speed runners might also benefit a lot from block and counter skills which bow can't take advantage of
unborn pivot
hell i might even use thousand dragons even tho its bad
tracer rounds seem like a waste tho which is a shame, the nerfs made them not worth the cast time i dont think
plush ravine
yeah idk how it was before but it is not nice right now
solid in niche situations though i suppose
which might be what it is supposed to accomplish
unborn pivot
before they were too strong
but a bunch of nerfs made tracer/arc shot much worse it seems than just oldschool bow playstyle
plush ravine
they sped up normal and power shots right before launch too right
unborn pivot
tho the weapon is still fine even if you use all the new toys and the monsters arent hard enough to split hairs so who cares in the end, press the buttons u wanna press and have fun doing it
lofty path

sounds like perfect rush for SnS

that combo is so ussules now lol
plush ravine
yeah it's optimal to spam light attacks on sns right hahaha
lofty path
4x any attack->charged chop
unborn pivot
swaxe doesnt even zero sum rn apparently
lofty path
why do perfect rush where each hit does 70-80dmg
when a light attack does 50-60
and charged chop at the end of it does 4x 90 lol
plush ravine
thousand dragons does the damage of a power shot but locks you into an animation 5 times as long
thanks capcom
lofty path
yeah it's optimal to spam light attacks on sns right hahaha
tbf, it always was/is the "dance around the monster and constantly attack" weapon
like, thats kinda intended
unborn pivot
sounds like lance
lofty path
its just that charged chop is soooo much better then perfect rush in every way
lofty path
sounds like lance
yes, lance and SnS are the most aggresive weapons for a reason
even stuff like DB need some opening windows to actually do bigger dmg, lance/sns just hit 24/7 regardless
plush ravine
yeah i think sns is what i wanted db to be
unborn pivot
db is just if u wanna be an anime protag
lofty path
yeah i think sns is what i wanted db to be
DB is funny enough closer to GS in gameplay
and always was
ye you do a lot of hits, but they dont really do much and you want those openings for big dmg
unborn pivot
my favorite is people picking longsword not realizing its the most defensive weapon
lofty path
tbf, its a bit weird sometimes
Lance is marketed as "deffensive powerhouse"
and while yeha, thats kinda true cus you can block almost everything, its gameplay is 24/7 pokes and counters, and blocking so you dont have to move away

unborn pivot
you only need 1 tbf
also its only 3% over the 2 slot im using so its not end of the world lol
icy dirge
Even so, I had literally every deco but that one
I have all the bow ones too and I don't even play it
So it was bugging my mind
unborn pivot
yeah i have all the bow ones too now lol
only one worth a damn is spread up tho the other ones suck
icy dirge
only one worth a damn is spread up tho the other ones suck
The thing is, I don't need to care about decos anymore, and honestly, artisan weapons are ugly as fuck
Give me my damn layered weapons
unborn pivot
yeah at least artisan weapons are only like 5% better if rolled right
tho i guess it depends on the type
can absolutely get away with like a magala sword
icy dirge
Gore is the only LS you can get away with because you'd need God rolls to get a better one
The others are just shit
And the 3 lvl 3 slots for CRIT boost5 + master's touch
Way too good
lofty path
tho i guess it depends on the type
iirc its like
for dualblades/bow(?) and Lance, artian weapons are 100% the best always
for everything else it kinda depeends
on HH they are not that good cus their avaible songs suck
unborn pivot
for dualblades/bow(?) and Lance, artian weapons are 100% the best always
nah for bow u can run raw doshaguma bow but its a speedrun only deal there
gotta kill monster before corrupted mantle wears off and u go down to neg affinity lol
unborn pivot
flinch settings are definitely off
tbh i dont think wounds should stagger at all
like make wounds not stagger and then like halve KO buildup and i think it fixed a lot of the problem of stunlocking monsters to death
lofty path
tbh i dont think wounds should stagger at all
should just be like mounting
unborn pivot
oh u mean like how mounting and KO have a first ones free idea
lofty path
easy and fast the first time, and then hard increased in how long it takes every time

yeah it would make more sense than just popping 1 wound sequentially until the monster is clobbered to death

icy dirge
@unborn pivot You're playing bow right? do you ever slot normal shots or just spread/pierce depending on the gamestyle your going?
unborn pivot
only spread
if you spam dragon piercer you can do pierce
but pierce only affects dragon piercer
normal shots is ass
icy dirge
I tried a few hunts with a bow and it felt different from world, in a good way
The perfect dodges giving so much stamina for more dodges is amazing
Dragon piercer actually feels good
Focus strike is amazing
I'm not gonna farm artians but you bet imma farm the bis pre artians
unborn pivot
The perfect dodges giving so much stamina for more dodges is amazing
yeah thats a holdover from rise
was real nice
in rise you could also dodge forward and it did a big damage counterattack

Especially in kbm

In wilds is alright
R to apply/remove the special shots
F to spread shot

Usually on the MH discord I see the HZV charts going around
lofty path
atleast in Wilds they went a bit more into the direction that elemental stuff interacts with something
instead of JUST more dmg
like doing elemental dmg on Arkvelds Chains makes them discharge faster, Dragon even more
or Water/Ice making the fire Phase on the Fire Monkey/Squid end faster
or Fire/Thunder on Uth Duna destroying the Veil faster
icy dirge
Arkveld takes less elemental dmg from everything and nothing ever tells you that
That fucker has so bad HZV that you go raw on that fight xD
lofty path
Coolest Elemental interaction was Aknagtor in 3/3u tbh
Water/Ice did great dmg but hardened his Armor very fast which reduced your dmg until he diged into the ground which melted the armor again
fire did 0 bonus dmg but melted the Armor, so he never had hardened armor in the first place
unborn pivot
Ngl what made you read that skill and think thats not the way it was gonna work
the fact that it worked differently in world
