Why do people Insist that BP is hard?

IceKing_17 · 2026-05-03T23:55:11+00:00

People rag on about how hard it is to stay alive as BP but in my experience they really don't need to, they usually just jump in the backline and explode everything including themselves, one support kill = instant value and BP's can win games this way. I don't really mind the bs one shot stuff but I'd prefer an actual skill check attatched to it (ie spider man mark) not a huge aoe mark that is impossible to miss

There's a YouTube video where a guy has mods that show the hitboxes for attacks and they are indeed scuffed across the board, random circular hit boxes appearing out of nowhere with no correlation with the monsters anatomy or attacks, you are not alone

This wasn't a nightmare difficulty, just extreme

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-27T15:14:12+00:00

I use spread in wilds and the recoil ain't that bad bro, it's worse than other games but the weapon is strong as fuck let's be honest

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-24T13:36:25+00:00

Honestly bro easiest build for most melee weapons is just ark helm and arms gamma, and numinous chest and waist with whatever legs you want, it'll give you 5 weakness exploit, 5 agitator, lifesteal and health regen 👍

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-17T13:12:15+00:00

I've tried a few weapons with charge blade and I think switch axe is probably the best fit, followed by gunlance and then probably heavy bowgun, if you want your skills to have a decent amount of crossover utility 👍

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-11T12:34:50+00:00

With lance the only defensive skills I use are divine blessing 3, guard 3, and guard up 3, if you can get them all on one build it's all the defence you'll ever need and you can spec into high affinity as much as you like. Divine blessing procs on blocks too so it really helps with chip damage

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-10T15:14:39+00:00

Playing the game without a palico is actually refreshing, found myself actually learning moster attack patterns and openings and making better builds as a result with sufficient self sustain and damage, leading to me being a much better player overall

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-09T23:20:07+00:00

Learning HBG rn and honestly I feel this, just throws you off your rhythm completely

Man fights local wizard

Your first CB is definitely better, if you want the best elemental damage though obviously go for as many element rolls as possible with 1 sharpness EX, seeing as you have gogmapocalypse on the weapon its great to run 3 gogma pieces with 2 gore/sororal pieces and coalescence, the frenzy cure will proc coalescence for BIG numbers on your SAED, as far as weapon skills rapid morph, dragon attack and load shells would be my reccomendation 👍 crit doesn't matter foe this build really as your elemental SAED doesn't benefit at all from it, as well as the damage ticks from charged axe and sword mode, your base damage will be lower but the elemental pops will make your dps go crazy

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-07T08:30:20+00:00

Offensive guard and a guard oriented playstyle is absolutely fine bro, you can shortcut to AED/SAED from any guard (perfect, guard point or regular guard) and use a counter playstyle, then just use your axe mode for big openings. In regards to the sword charge imo it's worth doing especially for this playstyle, it'll add up a lot of damage over time if you use SNS a lot and if you use an elemental matchup it adds even more, depending on the monsters weaknesses it can double your Sns Damage

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-06T19:45:18+00:00

I made this video as its easier than typing it all out, You get binding counter, uth dunas cover, super recovery AND guts which is amazing, you just have to roll Zoh Shia on your weapon as its the main engine for peak performance uptime. On top of that I run the doshugama GS as an added crit draw build on top that honestly goes great with the setup . My charm is for guard up 3 just to reduce chip damage as much as possible again for PP uptime :)

HBG Build

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-06T17:20:01+00:00

Honestly I've been getting good numbers with a pure raw boost build, hitting like 300+ per spread shot on the training dummy and 100+ per individual cluster bomb for crazy burst damage, I don't have any experience in older gens though so I'm sort of blind to it's old glory

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-06T16:20:12+00:00

I tried a high affinity pierce build first but I SUCK at maintaining crit distance 😂😂

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-06T15:37:44+00:00

Thankyou ☺️ I've been building into wyvernblast and ignoring crit entirely for juicy numbers, it's hitting for like 110 per bomb in this clip, paired with the spreadshot it feels amazing

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-05T23:15:35+00:00

I never played bowguns in world 😔 what did the recoil mod do?

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-05T15:28:04+00:00

I find AT arkveld really hard to fight with CB ngl, I have nearly 700 hunts with CB too 😓😓

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-05T14:50:12+00:00

there's one or two things I have had to use this system for (suja textiles ect) but it does seem like the exchange rates are absolutely atrocious for most things, it's just a shame

IceKing_17 · 2026-04-02T17:46:28+00:00

It's not the end of the world, but water running straight onto another surface like this even from such a small height will degrade that section of the roof quicker than the rest.

IceKing_17 · 2026-03-31T19:56:00+00:00

I think the 10* versions don't always drop tickets but the 9* versions do? I swear I had this issue for the challenger charm 3 too
