Malaria posted:I suck at this game. But I think switching to Lance from Gunlance has changed things for me. I do way better with the plain ol' lance. I feel like I just got "better" somehow. Maybe I'm just getting the hang of this. So Status in this game works in that the monster has a threshold for a status. Melee weapons have a chance to do status damage with every attack, once it breaks that threshhold, the monster is affected by a status. At this point the status counter resets at a higher threshhold. It does have a cap usually after hitting 5 or 6 times. I'm not sure what the numbers are here, but in old games you'd normally see caps 5-10 times higher than the initial hit. For some of them, like Stun and Exhaust, the duration will also see diminishing returns. Statuses also have a decay rate, so you'll lose some of your progress if you stop attacking. Poison is unique in that you can actually double trigger it, but instead of overwriting it, it will extend the duration. Poison is also unique in that the damage is different per monster. Poison hurts a Rathian way less than Anjanath. The end result of this, is that you generally want faster hitting weapons for status effects. If you're doing well with the lance you should be standing right in their face poking them with poison pretty constantly, and poison damage can really add up (assuming it's not a rath(ian/alos) or pukei pukei. tl;dr: Poison lances are rad.

shortspecialbus posted:Also Stun Resist 2 is basically worthless - it's as useful as no stun resist at all. I need to figure out a way to get Stun Resist 3 on my current setup that isn't going to rely on lucking into another decoration, common as it may be. If you have at least one decoration for it, Tzitzi Beta gloves + 1 anti-stun deco will give immunity for just your glove slot. Otherwise you could build a level 3 stun charm.

I don't have a full build (i just picked up uragaan armor and earplugs and laugh at everything attempting to disrupt me), but the Earthshaker Magda has 420 blast and rank 4 long shells, which get a massive charged shot boost. So you can do some good stuff with alternating pokes and charge shots.

This is by far the best sword and shield has ever felt and its crazy how few people are playing it. Embrace the fuckin captain america shield dive and get just as many KOs as a hammer while slinging on the go and being the mount king.

I'm currently running with a modification of my melee set which is: Seriously the 2 point Legiana bonus seems to help a lot. I have piles of gems for everything except rathian and rathalos and I'm only HR 46. I got 2 gems from a single Daora fight earlier.

I might look for a chest piece that has it - That's my one armor piece that I'm not using for skills I really want right now. As far as charm, I'm using Earplugs 3 right now, and I have no earplugs decorations, so I'm stuck with that unless I want to completely redo my armor. I could probably change my gloves out too although that would probably trigger a lot more changes as well. I'm taking a break anyways for a bit because that fight pissed me off so much. I thought I was loving done with Diabloses when I finished the last special arena quest for Black Diablos but no there has to be another loving one that just tagteams me with Rathalos because I can't get it killed quick enough to be gone when Rathalos arrives.

Things I Learned Fighting Kushala: -If you flash pod a monster and it lands on you you will die -If there's a corner on the map you will die. The winds surround you and stunlock you and you can't leave. -Elderseal does nothing. At all. 200 hits and nothing happened or stopped happening. -It's pretty rad to mount Kushala in midair and then gently caress its day up -Pubbies will join quests and not move and you should kick them so the True Heroes, the Palicoes, can flashbang dragons for you and win -Health booster good

Is it a mistake to assume there's a maximum range to Vaal's effluvium beam? I have been hit by it at ludicrous range.RBA Starblade posted:Things I Learned Fighting Kushala: I noticed the same thing.

The Death Breath does not appear to have a max range that can actually fit inside the map, no. I've been hit from clean across the first acid pool area, the one with the Vitalilies. It does angle slightly up though, so it will sail harmlessly over your head if you're a billion meters away. Unless you're gunning it's easier to just sprint to the right of him and wail on his legs though.

The thing that elderseal seems to do is take elders out of their super powered state. So like when Kirin get super armor, or Teostra is ready to supernova, or Vaal is full of fart gas, or Xeno's arms are buff, hitting them with enough elderseal brings them out of that state before they can do their ultimate attack. Problem is it doesn't seem to prevent them from entering that state in the first place, it only works if they're already in it and when Daora is charged up its in the air and you aren't going to be hitting it. So poison is a lot better in that case Also, all of those monsters drop dragon pods anyway and those seem to do as much or more elderseal than elderseal weapons so idk don't worry about it

He's been by the southwest pool he emerges from while I was sharpening in the long hallway to the next area, by the acid pool room. I was sharpening and he shot. Welp. I thought. But I stopped short. Not infinite. Probably effectively if you are in the same zone fighting it though. Knew I should have captured the video.

Bombadilillo posted:Is pickleboi coming on his own or are we getting more then 1 new friend. All that we've heard is that he's coming in the "Spring Title Update". That's ambiguous enough that it could just be Jho or it could be Jho and Co. If it's the latter, it could be anywhere from 2-4 monsters total, since the leaked list included Orochi Kirin, Lunastra, and the "treasure dragon", all of which are presumably DLC.

The advice of "who cares, just make sure you're attacking" is definitely solid. In the description he talks about how the jump slash is "obviously the best dps" which I don't agree with but eh whatever, the difference is honestly so small it doesn't really matter much, especially with SnS. As long as you're constantly attacking during your openings, you'll do fine. E: actually he said the charged backstep is "by far the best damage" which doesn't really mean best dps.

So when I'm playing I keep hearing this weird sound effect every couple of seconds. It's hard to describe, sort of like a buzz I guess? It's not my PS4, this is a sound effect in MHW and it's always going off all the time. I wish I could describe it better but it's really loving annoying and I can't turn it off.

Do you hear it on a hunt? While in combat? While in town? While on loading screens? We need a little more context I think.

Pretty much anywhere. When I'm on an expedition or wandering around Astera I periodically hear that sound go off. Usually on a hunt it gets buried beneath all the explosions and roaring. It's not present on loading screens or in menus. Generally when I find something to interact with the little buzzing honk goes off.
