guys what do you think of my new build  Baron posted:It is a ton of fun! I played through most of the story with Ol Bursty. After a while it gets kinda samey though, so I'm glad I play a few different weapons. I do wanna try to do some diffrent GL styles because it's not so great against tempered Jho (or I just am terrible) and I like having a shield against him.  It doesn't help that I've always been terrible at playing GL defensively though, the only time the weapon really clicked for me was in XX with the guard point.

Your Computer posted:I can't imagine using it on something as dangerous as a tempered anything. It's fun but you're basically leaving yourself completely open the entire time Full-burst GL is my go to for Tempered Vaal actually. With Guard+5 and Guard-Up you can tank any of its attacks risk free, and use the full combo during the massive amounts of recovery frames, or guard poke its head if you can't. EDIT: Gunlance is also hilariously effective against Diablos. Blocking anything it can do, and a couple full-bursts breaks its horns with ease.

Lance and gunlance are basically amazing against any monster that has primarily physical attacks that can't get around the shield. Durambaros is also a prime target, for example. Nergigante and nargacuga too. Focacciasaurus_Rex fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Apr 7, 2018 |

Your Computer posted:guys what do you think of my new build I think the belt doesn't really complement the rest of the look. Go with hornetaur or vespid, whichever is the one with paralysis resist. (Yes I got the joke.) Speaking of lances though, I've been trying to fight pickle with weapons other than lances because they make him kind of easy, and man is he hard with longsword because foresight slash dodges so far back I still get hit anyway, and the vertical swings are annoyingly still too short to reach his tail.

What's the loving point of arguing that someone is a dumb casual for prioritizing a QOL skill over attack? What are you accomplishing? Let people play the game how they want, it's a cool game about hitting dinosaurs with sledgehammers and machetes, chill the gently caress out

It certainly teaches you when your openings are! Also when to break out of the combo and just quick reload or hop away so you can get your shield up. I use GL and GS almost exclusively on TEDs.

Dang everyone is so grumpy! Spring festival is dope, I got some of the new cosmetic stuff too, dances are amazing. Been farming tempered Jho and have gotten a hero's streamstone every single run, I've got like 15 now (and like 30 warrior's). Now I just gotta figure what the heck to augment next. And farm a gajillion gems  Regarding the damage vs defense vs utility skill debate, it's very subjective and isn't really a good thing to argue about. A damage build will give a very good player the fastest kill times (particularly in World due to the addition of Hunter Equipment and solo mode for all content), that's not up for discussion. However, most people aren't at the level where they can make use of a fully offensive build, at least not consistently. And that's totally fine! That's why defensive and utility skills exist! As has been pointed out, the variance in damage between an optimized build and a defensive build is relatively low (compared to other games). Defensive builds are more than capable of killing monsters in a reasonable timeframe. In fact, they will often be faster for many players, due to the increase in available openings (via utility skills) and the larger room for error or aggressive play (via defensive skills). Playing online throws another wrench in the mix, in that not dying becomes harder (due to a more unpredictable monster as well as interference by teammates) and more important (so you don't ruin things for everyone). And since most people seem to play online, that increases the value of defensive and utility skills for those players. With all that being said, what really matters is what you find the most fun. Do you want to push yourself and see how fast you can kill things with an all-out glass cannon build? Go for it! Do you want to chill and play an invincible healing build so you don't have to pay attention? You can do that too! The cool thing about the skill system is that you have a lot of freedom to play the way you want to, and since MH has a strong baseline (it's totally possible to hunt everything in the game totally naked), you are always going to be effective.

Longsword is goofy as hell. Sometimes I take it out on a kill 30 shamos mission and I'm just like, completely bafflingly flailing around. Triangle makes you run forward and circle slashes around, but then you activate ghost mode and it's the exact opposite. I'd like to learn it but gosh it feels like goofy nonsense after learning the heavy hammer like weapons first.

Is there anything that you need any guard skills for for tempered vaal? I have never had trouble with him with burst GL with no defensive skills. He's so clumsy you can just backhop away from everything he does and I don't think anything but his spread beam will one shot you.

Krinkle posted:I didn't whip out my jewelers loupe to confirm on the tiny tiny tiny font for ants but what does R2 do with the longsword if it doesn't say ghostblade So it's called spirit blade but that's not what threw me off. Spirit blade is a combo that consumes spirit gauge and ends in something called spirit roundslash which upgrades your gauge and gives you a damage boost. It's not a mode that you activate and it certainly doesn't invert your moveset. R2 + Triangle will do a spirit thrust which if it hits and your gauge is at least white will make you jump into the air and perform a spirit helmbreaker on the way down. Holding the left stick in a direction while doing the spirit thrust will change which direction you will jump, leaving the stick neutral will make you just jump straight up. On the way down, holding the left stick in a direction and pressing triangle will make your helm breaker go out in that direction. R2 + circle will perform a foresight slash which will do a running backstep during which you are invunerable and then run back forward and do a horizontal slash. Initiating a foresight slash completely empties your spirit gauge and uses some stamina, however if you avoid an attack (get hit) during the backstep you will flash blue and then if the horizontal slash connects it will instantly fill your spirit gauge and let you combo straight into your spirit roundslash. You can forsight slash in any direction, you'll slash in whatever direction you hold the stick which means the initial backstep will go in the opposite direction to the one you're holding.

Okay so all I've been doing is dumping my ghost gauge repeatedly and dashing backwards and forwards and sometimes to the side and never where or when I expect while trying to kill the most helpless creatures, the girros. Great. I've been stumbling around like a drunk and every time I take the weapon for a spin I say "tthis will never make sense to me" and I go back to something real simple like hunting horn where all the moves keep my feet planted and it's just choosing what angle I want to swing at the face with.

Triangle and Circle perform a fade slash, fade slash normally goes straight backwards but it can go to the side, however ONLY if you use it in a combo (meaning you have to use an attack and then fade slash) An easy starting combo for LS is Triangle -> triangle -> triangle + circle and then just mash R2 until the game makes you put your sword away, then repeat.

It sounds like you're trying to hold R2 and spam △/◯ instead of just hitting R2 to use up your spirit gauge. If so, stop that.

Renoistic posted:Nice! I should set aside some time for all the quests I've missed. Just a word of warning. The arena quests are all scaled for two players so doing it solo can be a bit of a bitch. Just do a filtered session search for lobbies for arenas and see if anyone else is doing it or just throw up your own and wait. Sometimes you'll get assholes SOSing in those lobbies but I've gotten all my arena stuff, both normal and challenge, done like this.

I farmed out the Ryu quest today with another goon as a HBG. You get plenty of paralysis and sleep knives and ammo, along with a couple of traps. That's enough to unload all your wyvern ammo and wyvernsnipes easily. It goes down quick after that.

It's also probably because solo arena is miserable. I've played Switch Axe for around 140 of the 160-ish hours I've played so far and it's still a huge test of patience and frustration to use it in arena alone.
