Do note that blocking weapons are garbage on velkhana unless you have guard up, because all her breath attacks go through normal block, and since she breathes a fuckton, the fight is basically impossible if you rely on block(mostly lance and somewhat guns, SnS/CB/GL don't necessarily need to...

Oh yeah on Longsword I quite often end up mistiming stuff I usually dodge fine trying to build the meter and then it goes all to shit. Almost ran out of time on a 25mins temp lunastra earlier cause I figured I'd do it on longsword after a while of not playing it and between me fucking up and...

If you put it in a bathtub or something large enough with water you can generally tell by pressing so air comes out, making bubbles in the general direction. Still need to inspect that part but is easier to find.

Thought the new Vaal was also really easy, overall I'm having most issues with the old shitty stuff, Kushala if I'm not using sticky(not hard just insanely annoying) and Lunastra(fucking bullshit). All of them are "easy" when I play lance so more talking about other weapons which don't have the...

Meh once you know the moves velkhana is the easiest elder dragon imo, most is very telegraphed and easy to avoid or it's the quick tail shit that doesn't do a whole lot of damage(and you can avoid easily by just running circles around her). She has good HZV everywhere so even without tenderizing...

Yeah synergy was basically what made it into a 20-30hours game for me into a 100+ hours, I played a bunch of mods and played a bunch of modded endgame and what not. And I played not too long after release iirc so the mods weren't even that good yet.

It's basically a pet class, only the pet is a train that follows the tracks. When I tried it during one of the alpha it was clunky as fuck though so hope they're gonna make it better. The track system just wasn't fun, it was a chore to lay down the tracks and you'd need to keep rebuilding track...

Investigations are random, you get them from breaking parts and picking up tracks, so you generally get a bunch automatically. Also the tailraider safari shit gives you 5 investigations every time it complete from the region you sent them in. You basically keep playing and get more...

Yeah autocrafts only procs when you pick up items to craft and you're not at max. But if you try to use one when you have mats it'll craft it so it's not too much of a problem, although you have to press the potion twice, once to craft and once to drink the one you crafted.

I mean it offers 2 different systems to grind for rather than just the one like vanilla. Guiding Lands is kinda "quick" though. Once you have a fair bit of materials there's no need to go there much anymore, it's not like augments are temporary, or even locked to a weapon. If you find a better...

Mantles in general are around 2%. It's 2% for the tail carve, 2% for the body carve or capture, 2 or 3% for breaking various parts(head and back for rathian), 1% if using plunderblade(on each item it steals). It all adds up but it's still a low%. As usual for farming rare materials what you want...

The meta reddit thread seems to say IG is better with high raw+some ele rather than full ele, so it seems better to stack attack(or some sharpness) rather than try to scale the element. That said as usual you can do whatever especially if you already have the right set bonuses. On the HH why do...

I thought some of them looked nice but yeah I get it running the same fight over and over is boring, sucks every best weapon is basically Safi so you have to run it a billion times.

I guess you drop in white before the monster changes areas but that seems like a lot of purple then a lot of white so probably not a big deal. Isn't that way too much affinity though? You have wex3 and crit eye 7 so that's already 90%, attack IV is another 5% and then you add 25% on the weapon...

Also story time, finished gathering the various mats for my SnS build, shit's pretty fun to play. The weapon takes a bit getting used to, the inputs are way more complex than it looks like and you get stupid shit out too often imo(fucking guard slash which is it even a thing) but it surprisingly...

Only 8? Do you not run Geology? If you have Geology 1 slotted in(make a separate GL set where you just copy your normal set and replace a healthboost or attack or whatever with one), you can loot each shiny twice. Also break parts for more shinies, and do flinch shots into walls everytime the...

Any Namielle will be tempered so you can lure one if you have a lure, or just wait it's not really that rare. And yeah the other mats are either gathering stuff if you haven't done this(gather enough to fill the red bar and spawn the big clusters of bone+ore in each area and you'll have every...

A lot of older MH players are split on MHW because on one hand, it is a lot easier, a lot stuff is less punishing and like you said being able to refill your inventory mid quest makes a huge difference, some strategies involve switching weapons or sets between phases, you never run out of...

Only on consoles for now and Nergi was just added today, but yeah once you get to endgame you can actually use all the LR/HR armors as layered. Still can't use MR but they've been adding them steadily so probably the next big update in a couple of months they'll have the early MR stuff and...

I think motion value is extrapolated from the true raw and the damage that pops up when you hit. Also once the PC version released a lot of stuff could be datamined/confirmed better. I believe they were waiting for the PC version of Iceborne to do a lot of the serious math they couldn't do on...

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...
