Well the math is complicated but some people bother doing it and generally high raw+some element with no element support skills beats out low raw+high element weapons with true crit element(silver rathalos 4pc) or normal crit element(2pc) with 5/5 element skill. That said it does depend on the...

While there's definitely some point in doing elemental builds, a lot of elemental builds don't actually benefit from stacking the elemental damage skill or even running critical element. Basically the damage from a high raw weapon with side elemental is better than a pure elemental weapon with...

You can only have 2 atm, the amount expands when they add more areas but on PC for now it's 19 total or so I hear(so 7/7/4/1). That's why I'm switching which I have at 7 to farm the monsters. It doesn't take too long to switch so it's not a big problem and once you have the materials you can use...

I have the set, I got a bunch of tickets joining other people but running the solo event works well enough too, it's quick runs(35-40secs), gives 2-3 of the basic IB decorations and tickets every 4runs or so. I'm just gonna keep running groups until I have the "help 10 ppl" achievement and then...

Works the same way as any other elders you'll find him randomly in elder recess or wildspire in expeditions(check map between missions), or just join any SOS with him and you should unlock the optional to kill him and you'll be able to get tracks for investigations. Man current events involve A...

I mean if it's just the def down you can use 3points in def down immunity or the charm, but I'm not sure it's that. Maybe I'll try it out next time I fight Jho but unlike vanilla where I had to fight him several times to get a bunch of the weapons, in IB his weapons are just pretty much all shit...

I do think it's a fun fight, has some really cool attacks, the rapid fire fireball shit is hilarious and many of his moves are really unique but he's definitely pretty high on the monster that will randomly kill me even when using lance. Which isn't that many realistically, most elders are a...

As a side note Kushala is still a big flying fuck so I made a HBG Sticky build to kill him a few times now that my forest is leveled, ironically I just upgraded the Zorah cluster HBG I had made in vanilla specifically to farm him(before Jho was added since his HBG was just all around better)...

Yeah I hate Jho, even on Lance he's annoying as fuck cause he grabs you through Guard Up so he constantly fucks you up and his hit zones are really high while he wiggles around like a fucking asshole constantly. And then he randomly decides to do fucking crazy jumping shit, vomit some dragon...

Depends, monsters like to spam charges and shit if you're at range and you need to dodge a bunch too and sometimes it's easier to dodge when you're close(dodging into the monster/behind it) versus having to dodge from mid distance. Also HBG doesn't really dodge stuff, they more like slow motion...

I've read a rumor saying they'd be cheaper than 2080TIs at launch because the new architecture is cheaper to make or whatever some stupid shit. I guess we'll see.

I'm almost at 99 for Nergi and while I did craft ele lances I haven't been using them. Instead I'm still using my shitty pukei pukei lance all the way. The big advantrage it has over other shit is it's rank 10, so I got the healing augment on it pretty early since it's a shit ton easier to get...

These events tend to be easier than they look because monsters have lower health when you do a quest with multiple, which leads to lower tresholds to knockdown/stun/flinch so if you're aggressive you can basically get them into CC loops where they don't get to do anything(especially with flinch...

He meant for leveling though I think, endgame there's a bunch of options but leveling it's a bit so so. You can get a good pierce HBG with tobi > viper tobi(actually better than Nargacuga with custom upgrades too although for lvling narga might be better but comes later). For sticky I think you...

I played Viper Strike and it was very strong BUT the mapping isn't as fast as some other stuff(it's reasonable with splash+hunter gloves with +1target though). It melted everything boss wise however, which is good for a league that had so much focus on bossing. I did 36/40 in a week and a half...

Oh good march/april looked fucking retarded this year, so that's cool with me.

Yeah tanks are very well balanced overall, there's some downsides here and there but they're generally compensated(Living Dead but also The Blackest Night). Gunbreaker is also fun to play so that helps, although it's quite button bloated I feel they could have used switching keys and shit...

I feel like one of the very first quests they tell you you can go in the tent? Don't remember for sure.

I did gloam grass for a bit but now that I have like 700 of them and I have yet to use one I switched back to standard stuff, atm might seeds since I dipped to like 400 after using a bunch every hunt, but it's really whatever you need at the time.

It got a shit ton of nerfs and... is still probably one of the best weapons in the game. They buffed elemental damage a ton and bow is basically king of that with DB, so yeah. It didn't get much new stuff though, only the claw shit I think, so it's one of the "more of the same" weapons. 10 mega...

Man I didn't expect Kirin changes, loaded up a tasty 4gold 1silver investigation and got carted 3times in a row like an idiot, on Lance no less. Had to slap in a bunch of defensive shit(stun immunity and some thunder resist, as well as actually putting maintenance jewel in lightning mantle) and...

Iceborne does provide things, mostly weapon changes and the new claw, but you can just play the base game fine since it wasn't balanced around the new shit anyway(and with the defender catch up gear it kinda doesn't matter either way). So find the game on sale and try just that, there's plenty...

They might have higher base for smaller monsters, I guess? I didn't really notice Jagras being particularily different than MR Jagras, but MR Jagras is a lot tankier than HR jagras was(even with relevant gear) so maybe that's that. I did Kulu and Tzitzi and they kinda exploded as you'd expect...

They don't, they have scaling hp like everywhere else. Might bug out if people leave and join not too sure but I've been doing it solo and the fights take the normal amount of time(about 10mins, some longer due to bullshit, some shorter when there's shit going down with multiple monsters beating...

Well currently the best speedrun weapon I think is the weird as fuck PS4 only LBG from Horizon Zero Dawn, it puts you at 1hp but does ridiculous damage if you keep the right timing. But that's really just speed running though. Even in the original HBG wasn't necessary, it made farming Kushala a...

For like a few hours on the first day, uber hillock spawned in the act 6 beach, so you could constantly reset spawn him by entering the zone and back to town over and over. I think it was fixed in like 8hours or whatever but ppl who lvled quickly got to exploit that a bunch I'm sure.

Every job being good is for the most part true. Obviously not every job is equal but no job is so bad that they can't get content done, especially casual content, the differences between the top tier of a given category and the lower tier is generally within 5%, with a few outliers that...

As pointed out not really, and animations often have a "backswing" like in dota where if you don't input anything else they take longer but if you do input another command that part of the animation is removed to combo into the other, making it more annoying to try to wait. There are skills...

Eh not really, hitting the monster's ass until it stops moving will get the job done. You can however capture them at low hp, which saves you like 20% of the boss fight but doesn't work on everything(elder dragons can't be captured although that only starts late into the story). Sleeping...

I mean there's a shitton of side stuff that's really not important to do until endgame/until you want achievements. You can kinda truck along doing the main quest and maybe looking into sidequests that have interesting rewards(mantles and palico tools mostly since they make things easier). Every...

Yian Garuga is 3, the Scarred version is 6 but the only notable thing it drops over normal version that I can tell is the one special mat you need for some augmenting. You can absolutely farm Drachen full set without killing Behemoth unlike mentionned previously, there's a guide in the reddit...

Well yeah that's like lvl 3 though I meant for higher, but I've been looking at the list of gear and upgrade mats so I kinda know and you can have more than 1 region at 6+ so should be fine I'll go for brute tigrex "quickly" get the shit there then drop that and focus on keeping forest at 5 for...

Melding is more random shit, you just need to get lucky. Which really means you need to play a lot, you won't get decorations otherwise, so you can't really follow meta guides early on and you'll want to use some armor/charm that give you the necessary skills versus shit with 3 sockets where you...

Yeah it was the same with Xeno, although Xeno was overall a lot easier. I wasn't gonna spend time farming shit just to kill one boss though and it wasn't THAT bad overall since it only took one wipe, just long and the first phase feels like there's 0 risk of dying(at least with Lance I barely...

Man the "last" boss was a super cunt as Lance but wasn't much better when I tried with Switch axe. Fucking 10hits attacks with high damage, literally better to take it to the face than press block cause if you block it'll kill you from full(if you have full stamina). And he has a couple of...

Fun fact, you don't have to kill anything until Elder Dragons. Also they harp about "balance" and "ecology" a lot in the game, you're not mindlessly murdering everything in your way, you're there to fix shit due to some really bad monsters doing bad shit. Article got people riled up and is...

Well it's just great quality of life since you don't need to sharpen constantly/mid fight. You can kinda get by with just the razorsharp charm(you get it for the 2nd purrfect sidequest for house decorations on acid glav) and then anything, but that's not that much better and using narca you can...

Yeah other than lance clunky ass shit, so far the new things have been great. Hunting Horn is night and day tbh, I had started playing with it a bit before Iceborne after seeing it was getting buffed and while it had some fun aspects, it mostly boiled down to hitting one of 2 attacks on the...

The original was review bombed too, then it went back to positive over time. I don't think Capcom cares that much that people who can't play are review bombing it's pretty common. It does seem to affect a bunch of people, and the other more nasty bug that deletes your saves when you first launch...

There's a post on the steam forums that details how to get it back that "should" work. Apparently the big deal is that anyone who hasn't logged in a while didn't have the new type of save file and starting Iceborne it doesn't convert the old style properly, so you need to force update it using a...
