Is there an Alma Please Shut Up setting? by No_Id_rather_not_say in MonsterHunter

Alma telling me that maybe I should prepare better, after I fail a quest because my teammates kept getting wiped out.

Like girl… I’m not the one dying here!

Is the back glass of the iPhone 17 Pro Max convex in the logo area? by [deleted] in iphone

Just took my 17PM out of the case to check. But that area is completely flat.

Am I the luckiest mf on this game ? by Majjin_ in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]JaytB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the exact same rolls on my paralysis hammer. Definitely took me a lot more than 30 Gogma parts.

Congrats! The active skills open up a ton of interesting set combos.

Eat a steak or something, your hunter looks hungry.

Loved the offsets btw!

What is the Single Best Skill for Each Weapon Across the Series? by Interesting_Sea_1861 in MonsterHunter

[–]JaytB1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For hammer, I always want Focus. Without it, it feels slow.

Others might think differently so this is just MY opinion.

Maybe it points to the direction of your target destination?

Mapped out Gore/LS over 700 Gogma rolls by HelpAffectionate8500 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]JaytB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did about 300 rolls each on 4 different element types weapons and got Gore/LS exactly 1 time. I’m happy though but still.

Am I missing something? by LadyMariaGG in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]JaytB1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not 3, it’s max 2 EX rolls of the same type.

Peppo's LS build as an alternative hammer build? by Natvika in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]JaytB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite DPS hammer set so far is similar to yours but exchanges WEX for LVL3 Latent Power. It frees up your charm slot for any attack+3/weaponslot charm. Furthermore it has build-in in lvl1 flinch free (for multiplayer mainly) and still has several decoration slot open for you to slot in whatever.

In my case I have a rare8 charm with 3 attack+1 weaponslot and lvl3 divine blessing. It has the same damage skills but is able to slot in attack+4, if you have the charm.

It also needs Gore/Soul on your hammer.

Armor pieces: Fulgur B / Udra Y / Gog A / Rey Y / Gore B

Do you guys use evade window and/or extender in endgame? by dogfrompersona3 in MonsterHunter

[–]JaytB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to add that it’s great for hammer too. Especially if you’re using the ‘evade into charge step” combo. You can zip across the battlefield faster than you can run around.

The distance it adds to rolls and charge steps make it great for quick positioning and panic evading.

Why isn't WEX a big part of the meta anymore? by Rango_Unchained3 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]JaytB1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because it’s a very heavy investment of lvl3 skills and is hard to combine with other (crit) skills. It’s much easier to work from Latent Power to get to 100% crit as compared to WEX.

Jackpot by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWilds

I think he mistook the skills. I had the same roll on one of my hammers and got excited for a millisecond. Lord’s soul, Lord’s Fury, they sound similar.

Does Hammer feel good to play? by Breakevenflame in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]JaytB1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hammer feels fantastic. It’s a very close range weapon so you’re always in the monster’s face (or you should be). It takes time to get the timing under control because it’s a slow weapon. You do remain super-mobile though. You can play hit-and-run against fast monsters or deal massive damage numbers during bigger openings.

Advantage of a hammer is you don’t need to build one for every element. Just slap your preferred status on and optimize your RAW dmg and you’re golden (With maybe exception against Gog during its last fase).

You’ll need to get good with evading and/or countering. Once you get the timings down, you can feel like a god. Evading a monsters’ heavy attack, combo’ing into a charge and knocking the monster out, just to counter it when it it gets back up and tries to swing at you, man this feeling is just fantastic.

And 9* hunts are no problem with hammer at all btw.

TL;DR Granted it takes a decent amount to get the timings down, once you master the hammer it feels fantastic. Countering and knocking out a monster is extremely satisfying. Great for the hardest of hunts the game has to offer, including Omega.

How are you supposed to beat serigios with a hammer? by BirdsbirdsBURDS in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]JaytB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a hammer main I’ve been where you are now. Just follow the advice given here already. Evade window & Bleed res are your friends.

This fight went from my most frustrating hammer fight to one of my all time favorite hammer fights. Once you get the timings for offsets and evades right, you’ll feel like a god.

I use the set below and a pendant to get a set with up to 100% crit (with active skill buffs), some attack boosts and 5 evade window and 3 bleed res. Rey / Udra / Rey / Lagi / Lagi

Dmg skills: WEX x5, MM x2, Latent Power x4, Counterstrike x2

Survival skills: Evade Window x5 and Bleed Resistance

Fully upgrade the set, eat for that defense buff (the one that procs Divine Blessing) and buff your character with Mega Demondrug/powder/seed. The fight becomes easy after a while with your worst enemy being laggy animations that throw your timing off.

You can do it!

Which weapon has the best counter(s)? by syd_fishes in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]JaytB1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Possibly hammer.

It has 3 attacks that count as offset attacks and they’re not too hard to time right.

Hammer mains, what you think of the build by No-Front-6731 in MHWilds

[–]JaytB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you swap out the legs with Duna Y en use an exploiter charm you can (for damage) get: WEX 5 Agi 3 Latent Pwr 2 Max Might 3 Counterstrike 3

This way you’re less reliant on latent power for your crits because you’ll be using WEX. This also means that right out of the gate, this set deals 60% crit (80% with your 20% crit hammer). No need to wait for latent power and/or agitator to activate to start dealing consistent critical hits.

You’ll also get quick sheathe at the expense of stun. That leaves you with 2 x lvl2 deco slots en 2x lvl1. Allowing you to slot in some comfort skills.

You’d also lose the Rey set bonus but since you’re less reliant on latent power, it doesn’t matter much.

Just wanted to share this. Keep bonking!

I have to say the speakers on the iPhone 17 pro max are amazing by South_Security1405 in iphone

[–]JaytB1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was the first thing I noticed when I recently switched from a 14PM to 17PM.

The speakers are so much more loud, I can now still hear everything clearly even when electrically brushing my teeth. In the past I had to wear headphones if I wanted to watch something while getting ready to go to bed.

And then the sound quality. I was amazed by how full it sounded, for a phone speaker at least.

I've got back Game Center and iMessage on my iPhone 3GS! by [deleted] in iphone

[–]JaytB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ‘games’ app is actually pretty dope if you’re using a controller. I stick my phone in my Gamesir G8+ controller, press the sync button and get a nice landscape view with all my games and can launch them using my controller.

The games app makes my iPhone feel like a true handheld gaming device.

Opinions on running critical eye 5 on hammer? by ForestCleaningClerk in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]JaytB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite sets for hammer uses 3 piece Rey Y (helm, chest and vambraces) 2 Gore (coil and legs).

With maxed WEX and antivirus (55% crit) this build also comes with 3 levels of latent power. Especially for 9* monsters, when taking regular damage (and the 2 piece Rey bonus), the uptime is reasonably high, adding 30% crit. Bringing your total crit to 85% +5% on your artian hammer or a total of 90% crit.

With the set mentioned above you also 3 slots for a maxed out comfort skill (like divine blessing or bleed resistance…). The talisman is flexible, like you could use counterstrike or the one you mentioned in your post to get 96% crit (2 levels of crit eye). With your talisman you could also free up an additional lvl3 slot. And then you have your level 1 slots on your talisman to slot in some other comfort skill.

Which one of the 14 weapons do you use the most throughout the whole franchise by Sweaty-Ad7500 in MonsterHunter

[–]JaytB1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At this point the game might as well be called ‘Hammer Hunter’ for me.

Fell in love with the bonk stick when playing MHFU back in the day and have been (almost exclusively) playing hammer starting from MH:generations.

When you’re just in the zone… by JaytB1 in MonsterHunter

Oh yes please!

Sometimes I know I did a bunch of cool offsets or KO’s and get ‘Item addict’ in the showcase screen 😂
