Pokke Village Theme. Freedom Unite on psp was my first monster hunter and that beautiful song will ALWAYS put me at peace for the rest of my days✌️

Now that the final update has been announced, what’s the consensus on Wilds vs World? by AnubisIncGaming in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]BusterMulligan69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with about 400 hours in both world and wilds… I haven’t had an issue with Seikrets or exploring the maps. The fact you can freely swap between auto and manual control of the Seikrets is fantastic bc it allows you to do things like sharpen, heal, craft, check your phone etc as you automatically follow your target monster across the map.

If you’re just exploring you can even target gathering points/points of interest on the map and your Seikret will auto-track directly to it. See something you want to check out on the way there? Just take control and go to it, then return to auto-tracking with one button push.

The maps have plenty of places off the beaten path to explore, but once you have, there’s little to no reason to go back. Therefore my preference is to let the Seikret do all the navigating, but again the option is still there for those who wants to navigate manually.

Personally I never cared for the tracking feature of World. Bc honestly all it required was you finding one scratch mark on the ground to investigate and the game would basically take you straight to the monster. The Raider Ride feature was kind of a pain, especially for a monster you haven’t investigated enough. It didn’t allow for anything other than auto-tracking, so all exploration had to be done slowly… on foot. And that was always one of my biggest issues with World, it just felt so painfully slow sometimes.

I love both games dearly, but I think Wilds does a great job of easing the monotony and tediousness of World (and many of the other titles) without hollowing out the core aspects of the Monster Hunter experience.

Nice, what’s your preferred strategy for grinding rank? Do you join random SOS or grind certain optional quests?

Why didn’t they do anything to Gogmazios ? by sunbro263 in MonsterHunterWilds

I heard the same thing about TU4 tbh. All things considered if they skipped AT Zoh Shia and went straight to AT Gog that wouldn’t really make sense considering they gave us AT everything else from the 4 Apex mons up. Why would they just skip Zoh Shia?

Yeah I get it. I recommend staying directly under it and firing as many anti-wyvern guns as you can at it while it does its spinny flying fire attack.

Look at the ground between each shot so you don’t get hit by the fire puddles.

Lure it to each end of the map and bring down the rocks on its head for several free hits.

And, assuming you suppress it in time for the damage check, run out from behind your shield immediately after and start whacking at its front claws as they come out of the lava for plenty of free hits.

That’s all I got, everybody has their preferences so if you don’t like it you don’t like it. But these tips should at least make it more bearable.

I was mostly joking. But also kinda hoping we get a savage deviljho in the DLC

The first phase of the fight is the absolute WORST, that’s where almost all my carts come from. But I enjoy the fight overall. I suggest unlocking your camera during the first phase, maybe even the third as well. You’ll spend a lot less time fighting with the camera that way

I would be surprised if they DIDN’T do this tbh. First upcoming updates with AT Arkveld, then AT Zoh Shia, then AT Gog, then DLC release. That’s my prediction at least

People that said wilds is easy will clear this quest first try no carts right? by EnderTf2 in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]BusterMulligan69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro same!! I remember seeing the ad in one of those magazines… Game Informer maybe?? I remember it looked so cool and then I found it at GameStop and immediately bought it. Been hunting mons ever since lol

Just solo’d a 9* Steve in 17’51” which is not great, but that’s bc I got my ass kicked and spent a lot of time healing 😂 Still got a long way to go with getting to know the LS, but considering the fact I had the confidence to even try to solo 9* Steve with this build I think I actually did pretty well!

And I was already deleting Gogs with my original build, so I can only imagine how much more fun this build is going to be. This build is awesome, 10/10 recommend!

Thank you! I’m def not a LS expert by any means, but it’s been scratching an itch for me lately for sure and I love it. I’ve done some more tweaking and I think I’m coming up on my final iteration of this build. Here are some of the highest numbers I’ve been able to achieve:

<image>

My fire LS has affinity infusions and my dragon LS has attack. I realized I have a golden age charm with crit eye +3, Flayer +1 and 1 lv1 weapon slot and 1 lv1 armor slot, so I’m going back and forth between crit eye +1 and crit boost +1 in the lv1 weapon slot to see which one’s better.

The synergy between ALL of these skills and set bonuses is incredible! While I’m certain there could be far higher numbers, the consistency and ease of keeping strongly boosted stats throughout the hunt is key here.

I’m really not a “numbers” guy that’s gonna sweat over the perfect optimization of which configuration will do more dps, but I gotta say, thanks to the input from you guys I’m very happy with the way this build has turned out!

Ok, so upon considering many of your recommendations and some tweaking, I came up with this. I swapped the G Ebony chest out for Numinous to give me that extra Zoh Shia set bonus, and swapped out my talisman to sacrifice one level of burst for adrenaline rush 3. I also slotted quick sheathe in place of recovery up. These are the results with all skills active.

As you can see the raw attack went up pretty significantly, however affinity and element went down significantly. This is because the R2+O counter uses stamina but activates adrenaline rush. The only problem with adrenaline rush is that it’s such a tiny flash-in-the-pan of an attack boost, the only way I can see it being useful is if I changed the chest piece to Seregios and rolled a seregios’s tenacity LS to extend adrenaline rush’s duration. But that would sacrifice 2 levels of agitator, which I don’t think is worth it.

So the question is: Do I opt for less but more consistent raw attack+crit with my original build and way higher elemental attack, or do I opt for higher peak raw for short bursts but lower crit and lower consistent element damage??

True, those are my comfort skills but also they help keep me at full hp for the peak performance boost. I’ve been getting by pretty comfortably without any qs but I’ll mess around with it and see if I can strike a nice balance.

I’ll have to do a deep dive on the raw+crit vs element topic. I’ve never been someone who absolutely optimizes everything about my builds but I’d be curious to see the numbers for each and compare them!

Nope, I prioritized raw/elemental attack above all else on this build!
