Is there a way to see the elemental damage cap of a certain weapon without just slotting elemental damage decorations until it tops out?

I don't know the math but from what I've seen most people park their <element>+ skills at level 3.

I�ve been told the hammers stun values per attack are not directly linked to damage in previous MonHun games. Anyone know if that is true in World? I�ve not been able to find legit info that shows stun values per each attack.

Some weapons hit their cap earlier than that, I'm just wondering if there's a way to tell beforehand

It wouldn't be SA unless there were massive arguments about how streamers are good/terrible. This is true for literally every game.

am i missing something with popping phials into your shield with Charge Blade? it seems like 90% of the time the cancel straight up doesn't work, is the window just way tighter than it looks?

I was having trouble with this last night, too, and I think you just have to wait a half second longer than you think to R2. Either that or you can't be holding Tri+Cir when you do it, maybe? I was trying both and never quite got it to 100% trigger.

Holy poo poo, I was going to post about Monster Hunter World, a great game in what everyone says is a great series but which I sadly ignored until now. But then I read your lovely posts and I think man, posting these consistently lovely opinions is like missing that SAED when Nergi ambles away from you and everyone else knew that was going to happen. You know, embarrassing.

But then you post this poo poo and I think, your posts are even worse - like getting an AED when you thought you had charged your shield.

Watch the Team Darksiders Charge Blade video, it'll improve your game.

I mean, it can't make your posting worse.

What. Read the other half of that post you quoted, it's literally, "who gives a poo poo about what this dude does with his life, watch his videos and git gud."

In case it wasn't clear, I'm agreeing with you. GH is cool and people confused/commenting about his lifestyle/whatever are dumb. Weeaboo literally just means a non-Japanese person that embraces the culture, so it is an accurate one and done term. Does that matter? gently caress no, dude makes great vids and has done so much for this community, he frankly should get more references in the games, Arrekz too.

What cancel do you guys mean? You just press R2+Circle when your phial meter is glowing yellow or red then you plug those fuckers in there. Same thing with white, but you won�t get any new charge from it and the animation is longer.

Do you mean canceling from loading phials into the elemental discharge? In that case just press R2+Circle, Triangle+Circle, then Triangle+Circle again. You can make Tri+O if you want. If you mean canceling from the discharge into charging your shield, then after you hit Tri+O a second time just start hammering on R2 and it should work. The timing is very generous.

I have about 90 CB hours, have finished the main game and am into the post game if that's even an appropriate term for this game.

I mash the cancel and still miss it sometimes. So, yeah. But, hey, you hopefully bopped something with that uncharged axe chop when it didn't register (not me, I look an idiot hating the ground when this happens).

# ? Mar 20, 2018 19:33

Huxley: Oct 10, 2012; Grimey Drawer

I mean charging the shield with 5 loaded phials, specifically the one you need to Cir+Tri (to lunge), Cir+Tri (to shield poke), Cir+Tri (to discharge except somewhere in the animation you cancel with R2 to turn your shield icon blue, which I think is how you build to the SAED vs just the AED).

# ? Mar 20, 2018 19:33

Million Ghosts: Aug 11, 2011; spooooooky

yeah the shield bash -> discharge -> cancel combo is the one i mean. on paper you're right it's pretty easy but for whatever reason the R2 doesn't seem to come out like it should. i'm sure i'm missing something obvious and just need to mess with it more.

And charging your sword is after you charge the shield, same as loading phials but press triangle during the animation and hold it and let go when the sword "locks" into position.

The real skill of Charge Blade is learning how the moves flow and chain and then being able to slide slash, charge, shield thrust, load phials, discharge cancel back into sword, round slash, shield thrust, charged strike, load, then go straight into an SAED, all while staying on the monster and chaining them fluidly without getting hit. When you have achieved that level of mastery, you're basically CB jesus.

Edit: the time to cancel is when you have the shield "behind" you with the sword locked in. You do a revolution and bring the shield across from your back left to middle right, but there's a brief pause where the shield is presented to the camera, almost like a backward guard point. That's when you cancel.

Does anyone know how/if water attack decorations interact with water shot, and so on for the respective elemental shots? I'd like to get to element gunning but I haven't found a way to tell how many decos I actually need per element, unlike the melee weapons hitting an orange number.

According to the Arekkz LBG tutorial, it does. No idea how to check cap, though.

I know that feeling with a couple other weapons and for me that's the real draw of the series, feeling like you know this one thing so inside and out that nothing can touch you.

Playing CB really badly feels terrible, but also kind of feels good. It's nice to have something to learn again.

Charge blade make perfect sense once you play if for a while. But then I try to explain to people and it's makes no sense.

To charge shield just mash tri-o-r2 together until it happens. Simple

I'm getting to the point where I'm not only aware of what I should be doing, but am able to pull it off fairly frequently. Smashing a SAED all the way down an elder dragon from head to tail and watching those big numbers pop up feels so goddamn good.

I took the Dodo CB out to 'train' with last night. Said training consisted of beating tthe poo poo out of a LR jyura until it dropped mats I needed to upgrade a bow further.
Out of like 3 runs, the first one is the one I did best in, downing him in about 3 minutes with no trouble.
Next 2 runs were less efficient, taking about 5-6 minutes as I tried to piece together exactly how the mechanics worked while in combat, so that I wasn't just mashing buttons and praying for something awesome to happen

Pre-fight I do self improvement and whatever the 1 good buff is like attack up XL. During the fight I just get hit a bunch while trying to encore when I shouldnt.

I fiddled around last night in the training room for 10 or 15 minutes then immediately jumped into a tempered Legiana/Paulumu/Pink Rathian investigation. It did not go well for me.

Then I beat up tempered Pukei a couple of times and things came into place a LITTLE bit better. It's a weird weapon because sometimes you'll feel like you're getting a handle on it, then all of a sudden things are happening and you have no idea why and now you're poisoned and stunned.

Also, apparently Artillery is good on CB so I feel pretty bad about tossing a couple of Artillery charms into the pot last week.

Jolo: Jun 4, 2007; ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

The main thing that throws me off when swapping between Lance and Charge Blade is that when sheathed, R2 with Lance pulls up the shield and guards immediately, R2 with Charge Blade draws into Axe mode which isn't ideal for blocking. Another R2 with Charge Blade will shift back to sword mode and guard, but if you're going for a quick shield from sheathe it's the last thing you wanna do.

So is there a way to add mass-crafting to the radial menu? When I'm bowing having to flick my right stick 20 times when I run out of power coating gets old. It's easier for me to just carry a farcaster and warp back to camp for more power coating.

AnonSpore: Jan 19, 2012; "I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"

Switching rapidly between Lance and CB definitely hosed me up for a bit because Lance's cool point counter is R2+circle, while CB's is R2+triangle, and either of them done instead of the other will mess you up right quick.

Two methods: 1: go into the settings and change it from flick to use item to R3 to use item on the radial menu. Then you can just mash R3 over and over to craft much more quickly. 2: go into the crafting menu, select the item you want to craft, press triangle, then mash right on the d-pad to max it out and craft them all at once.

If it ups my cred any, anything not on my radial menu I get to by clawing the controller in my left hand, poking through the menu old school style with my thumb and working the stick with the middle part of my index finger.

E: Being able to run away, drink a potion, drop a trap, sharpen, then craft more bombs one straight after the other on one hand while never opening a menu is good if you can get yourself used to it.
