I started with the hammer, love it and can always go back to it if I feel like smashing monster faces repeatedly. I feel that because I began with a slow weapon I appreciated the fast weapons more when I started playing around with them (especially the IG) plus I’ve come to love the GS which also benefitted from using hammer first. I strongly recommend using hammer basically.

Getting more of a feel for the game and I’ve been enjoying the greatsword now that I kinda know what I’m doing. Plus the jagras bone GS looks cool. Just got a full set of bone armor, I look like a barbarian! Pretty neat. GOnna try out the gunlance next session, from what I’ve read I might enjoy that. Deffo don’t like how it clips thru the bone helm ponytail thing...oh well.

If I have 3 earplugs gems then all I need is one bazel item... as long as there are enough level 2 gem slots. I really don't WANT to have tobi kadachi gloves but how else do I get that evasion without more gems I don't have.

Forgot all about Legiana chest, that's a good one. I think I'm going to try and shoehorn the rathian armor into something next just because I like the look. My low rank gunlance build used the helm with high metal chest/waist and alloy arms/legs and I looked like a hilarious pear man. Attack bacon, do you still have that master's touch Teostra build list? I built some of his pieces for a blast sns build today and I love the iridescent red-to purple color effect.

Maybe you'd be interested in my Dark Souls set. It has evasion+5, evade extender+3 and handicraft+5  No Earplugs though, unfortunately. It's got three tier 2 slots and a tier 1 slot.Your Computer posted:

I decided to make a “maximum fun” set for the Impact GS and came up with this:    (I left the two GS slots empty for flexibility) It’s actually been really great for farming crowns! I haven’t used any other set since I made it and have had a (hehe) blast. I also thought it was cool that the armor seems to fit the theme of fire and metal aesthetically. Still a bit of a clown suit but I’ve really had fun with this build. I named it “CRUCIBLES FIRE” or some nonsense. edit: The white sharpness lasts a lot longer than you would think, at least for me it does.

Yea I might never have to sharpen during the multi monster quests because I like to re up at the tent and you come out with full sharpness  e: I realize it takes longer to step in and out of a tent than it does to use a whetstone but the whetstone is hardly necessary when the monsters go down while sharpness is still white and my ocd forces me to return to camp after a capture. (even if my items are arranged in order I’ll still hit the “rearrange item” button for both my pouch and my box)

Also, you get to dunk on the minister's head easily which is fun. Swaxe is surprisingly simple once you get the basic combos down. Also as a HBG main I urge you to try it to satisfy your inner dakka fiend.

Also just don't worry about any weapon type dealing "low damage" in Monster Hunter, they're all essentially equal. It's just a matter of playstyle.  Baron posted:I made a few videos of a fast way through the two tempered monster track events.

No problem! Gives me something fun to do after playing for so long. 500 hours now. This game got it's hooks in me like I can't believe. I probably would have burnt out a long time ago, but my buddy picked it up when he saw me playing all the time, and I've been helping him figure everything out. He's about to beat Tempered Kirin now, I'm so proud! Also, he's beat everything so far only using SnS so don't let anyone tell you it's a weak weapon

I cobbled together an Earplugs 4/Focus 2/Weakness Exploit 3/Crit Draw 3/Handicraft 2/Non elemental boost build to play around with the Wyvern Ignition GS and dear god IT'S FUN Taking down Rathalos in the Crown event quest in less than a minute was so satisfying. Some of my swings were landing for 600+ damage. Kinda wish I could max out Focus or Earplugs though without losing anything else though. If I had a focus decoration I could slot it into an augmented slot on the sword itself but that's about it.

I didn’t know there was a (large?) crown event quest for Rathalos. It's the event quest with 5 monsters in the forest. Don't remember the name but all locales have the crown quests up right now and they all have music references in the names. Since there are so many monsters their health is reduced so they die faster.

You will adapt. I haven't played Great Sword since MH4 and getting the hang of using it again today took me one or two missions and I was fine. I've never liked bowguns but I got the hang of my Legiana HBG after dying a couple times. Still don't care much for it though. Switch Axe and Insect Glaive are still my favorites, but I have fun with LS and Hammer and GS too.

I tried a Gunlance VS Barroth for the Ryu armor (gonna do it once every day til I get the armor cause that quest blows but the arena as a whole blows so I may as well use it to get my daily bounties) and it was just miserable. I can totally get how other people like it but I just want my hops and stabs back. I'll try the other weapons but for now, I'm feeling the pain of playing MHW as a Lance Simulator.

puking pentagrams posted:edit: is MH4U better than generations? I'm the resident Generations apologist in this thread and I assume everyone else will reply that 4U is better so I'm gonna say that I probably enjoyed Generations more.  Ultimately they're pretty different since Generations has the styles and arts, but basically Generations just has a lot more content. More monsters, more locations, more armors, more weapons, more stuff to play around with. Apparently the endgame grind sucks but I never really bothered with it and I feel like I still got a good couple of hundred hours out of the game (and then again in XX).

Thanks for the answers, just gets me excited to play both! I’ve played Generations and worked my way up to the bujabujabu set so I’ll probably try and get through it first before I play 4U. Right now I’m doing my best to platinum MHW so it might be a while before I get back on the 3DS.
