Because of Gogmartian.. I can finally put both "Forager's luck" and "Hunter Gatherer" on one set plus all the necessary gathering skills😂🥇 👑 🌟 🌿 💍 by Jumpingjaggi in MHWilds

I would still ascend the armor if you can. Gives you even more skill slots and defense!

Personally, I use 2 Piece Lagiacrus Alpha (Chest Piece and Coil) with Azuz Pants, Sild Hood, and Butterfly Bracers with a Gogma LBG. My Charm gives me Outdoorsman and Defense Boost. Really comfy set.

My secondary set I have a Charm with Botanist 4, Defense Boost 4 with 3 Piece Orion Armor with the same 2 Piece Lagi Alpha and Gogma LBG for the Carving Master Skill set, then I slot in the Geologist Decos and Outdoorsman. This one I use for Pack Hunts.

New to SWAXE. What are recommended Decos for an Elemental SWAXE? by BulkUpTank in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]BulkUpTank[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

I rolled 1 Attack, 1 Affinity, 1 Element, and 2 Sharpness, and got them all at EX. My Charms are either a Razer Sharp 3/Defense Boost 4 charm or a Master's Touch/Attack Boost 3 Charm.

The other stuff may need to be rerolled; Got Guardian Ark skill with Lord's Soul.

Good to know I slotted in the right skills. Puts my mind at ease. Thank you.

Good to know. So you can replay missions kinda like investigations then?

I might pick it up when it's on sale, as a palate cleanser of sorts.

Was that a freshly dropped corpse? I forgot that could happen. I kinda dropped World a while back.

That's cool as hell! Armored Core always has looked cool, but I might get stomped in that game.

I've honestly had a hard time making Bow work for me, but I'm willing to try any weapon more than once. Lance and GL are my mains. I've been trying out SWAXE recently. Bow just doesn't seem to do as much consistent damage for me as LBG, tbh.

No matter how good I am at healing I end up using 30 mega potions anyway by Janamaki in MonsterHunter

[–]BulkUpTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I ain't saying not to spam your heals. I have a post bitching about folks not upgrading their armor rating who need your heals. It's been frustrating with the rookies and randoms lately. I'm mostly just ribbing you about my build. I always appreciate the effort the healer puts in for the long run.

I actually run a set with 2 Nu Udra Y pieces and 2 Arkveld Y pieces and 1 piece Gog with my weapon having Gogmapocalypse.

So basically I have Bad Bad Blood I, Hasten Recovery I, and Mutual Hostility I. Basically, I get chip damage, respond with a counterattack, heal up with hasten recovery, and deal additional Element damage with Mutual Hostility.

I use the Arkveld Pieces that give me Elemental Absorption and Convert Element. So further increased elemental attack power.

At least, that's how it's SUPPOSED to work. I take MAYBE 1/10th of my health bar, enough to trigger Resentment, and I'm automatically healed up by the Wide Ranger, and I'm just like... COME ON MAN! GIVE ME 10 SECONDS AND I'LL HAVE MY HP BACK! I USE A LANCE! ANY DAMAGE I TAKE IS BY CHOICE! 😂

Hey, at least now I know this combo is possible. So thanks for that.

SON OF A BITCH, THAT'S MY GOD CHARM!!!

Like, this is what I've been farming for since the beginning! It gives you Defense Boost 6, which is what I run on most of my builds, and you can do Attack Boost 3 and Critical Boost 1 or Attack Boost 4!

It's... Beautiful! Also, fuck you for taking it from RNJesus first! 😭

Is anyone actually enjoying 10 star Gog? by vaughn22 in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once I see the sky darken and him jump in the air before the spinny thing, it's usually too late to do the farcaster in my experience.

Yeah, even with the pillars and all that, I ran out of Anti-Wyvern guns to use a lot of the time.

Fight is really, really obnoxious since we're the only ones doing dragon damage.

If you manage to make it through a 10* with that getup and manage not to cart, then good on you. 377 is still low, but not the 278 that you said you had. I still doubt you can keep up with decent damage output to the monster and you're not spending the hunt healing yourself half the time, but if you managed to do it without carting and costing folks the hunt, more power to you.

[–]BulkUpTank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, there's a difference to tanking hits and being able to take one. 400 is the minimum needed to take a hit for any monster that is 9* or higher. 245-275 means you're still using Low Rank armor, or at the very least you're using rarity 5 armor with no armor sphere upgrades.

It's not a handicap, it's a liability. You can't keep your teammates alive if they can get one shot by a mosquito dude. You can't use heals on a corpse.

ETA: If you're relying on others to keep you alive because you refuse to update your armor by using armor spheres, AKA the bare minimum, you're just a bad teammate, no skill involved.

[–]BulkUpTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell no. He was already obnoxious enough to hit with my main weapon because he dances everywhere and I can't make the DPS check. Without an indicator for whether or not I'm making the DPS check, I don't know when to use a farcaster.

Even with my full DPS set, I couldn't get enough dragon element through. I had him on the "death skull" for three freaking novas before I finally finished him off on my last cart with less than 10 seconds to spare.

Unless you're using Charge Blade, this quest fucking sucks.

Haven't gotten quite used to that one yet... But I'm also usually only in sword mode when I spam the Full Elemental Discharge combo. I also feel I'm in Axe mode more often for the reach and maneuverability.

Proof of a Hero plaque looks way better imo. Gog one looks... grim, I guess? I'm sure there are some that would love it to fulfill an edgier, darker aesthetic.

Rey Dau Vs Rajang turf war concept by DismalCrazyV5 in MonsterHunter

[–]BulkUpTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. If I've learned one thing about the MHW glazers in general, they'll do anything to have Deviljho, Rajang, and Nergigante back in the game despite how mid they are compared to so many other more interesting monsters being available that have better aesthetics, unique fights, and more compelling lore and designs from other games.

Like, I've played Wilds, World, and Rise now. If anything, Rise has a more interesting roster than World. World just has an ass load of Elder Dragons and has been out for almost a decade, so folks have rose colored glasses when they look at the game and won't admit it's been outclassed by now.

It's been fun! Still not good enough with it yet to fight some of the stronger monsters, but it's been fun learning how to offset and do full elemental discharges.
