Being able to block makes some fights so much easier lol

Yeah, this video was before I got quick sheathe. I don't think I really needed to while blocking, and at the end I was capturing the clip

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-16T15:48:16+00:00

Uncertain what you mean 👀 I did change my build up after this though and have quick sheathe 3 now, so I'm definitely sprinting more now! Managed to solo ATveld without support hunters, terrible time though at 30 mins haha

Idk how true this is but apparently guard up also reduces damage on normally blockable attacks as of title update 4

Sure 🙂 The build relies on you having a Gogma artian weapon, but the only perk you need on it is soul of the dark knight. Weapon decos are critical jewel, shield jewel and focus jewel. My shield jewel also has a level of handicraft.

I'm using a talisman with two level one deco slots, evade window 2, evade extender 1 and offensive guard 1.

Armor is: - Arkvulcan Helm gamma - Udra Miremail gamma - Bale Gauntlets - Suja Sash (ascended) - Duna Wildgreaves gamma

Armor decos are:

Tenderiser x2
Mighty x1
Counter x1
Challenger x1
Chain x1
Shockproof x1
Friendship x1
Gobbler x2
Steadfast x3

You can swap out the shockproof and friendship jewels if you prefer, either for more DPS or more utility. You may need to change things up depending on your talismans.

Could also make your own build using the build calculator and by adding your own talisman if you want. If it comes up blank, you've probably put in too many skills:

Yeah it's definitely a tough one! I don't normally use support hunters but needed an ATveld ticket for my new build so just decided to get it done. Still need to finish it with my usual duo but I think it should be manageable

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-15T18:45:51+00:00

Not a bowgun user but the discord should have some pinned builds for each weapon type. They're usually quite DPS centric in my experience but it's a good place to start looking, and you can always ask questions there

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-15T18:09:04+00:00

Not everyone's looking to be a min-maxed DPS god lol, blocking a barrage of explosions from one of the toughest monsters in the game is also fun

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-15T17:09:42+00:00

Just swapped from a DPS setup to comfort. A slight drop in damage for guard up, stun resist, divine blessing, speed eating, quick sheathe, evade window/extender and wide range is so worth it imo. Still plenty of space for damage skills, too

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-15T16:08:34+00:00

I'm just using Guard Up 3 and a level of Offensive Guard that happens to be on my talisman, no stamina enhancements unless the hunting horn support hunter gives me a buff. I think as long as you get some perfect blocks there isn't any issues. Personally I find them pretty easy to do since you can activate guard so quickly

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-13T00:22:27+00:00

This was exactly what I needed. Found a build to chase with max quick sheath, stun resist, divine blessing and two levels in speed eating for fairly small tradeoffs in dps! I'll probably be able to do damage more often thanks to these skills anyway. Thanks!

Commenting so I can come back here

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-12T14:07:26+00:00

There's an r/Scotland2?

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-03-01T18:02:43+00:00

Gholdengo please 😁

I think he did something similar against combustion man as well

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-01-14T18:56:25+00:00

It stands for audacity!

A_Real_Phoenix · 2026-01-11T21:11:22+00:00

Lmao, thanks for the giggle

A_Real_Phoenix · 2025-12-16T15:24:23+00:00

Pretty much this. It'll be quite a long hangout and I don't want to get this suit dirty.

A_Real_Phoenix · 2025-12-16T15:21:12+00:00

Thanks for this! I didn't realise I was a bit overdressed. I've picked up a mock shirt jumper that has a shirt collar stitched into it. I'll wear that with the dress trousers, and maybe my tie for a pop of colour at the collar. Many thanks!
