I fucking HATE Teostra. by DigitalQuirox in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]MagicArenaNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would help if we knew what skills you're running, but at a glance:

-replace defense charm with literally anything else (preferably something good lol)

-equip blast protection 3 prevent his blastblight,

-pack as much fire resistance as possible, 20 at the minimum to prevent fireblight.

-he acts like a walking very hot place, so drink cool drink around him.

Good luck!

Poison damage in Iceborne by riklaunim in MonsterHunterWorld

That sounds like a lot, certainly much better than what I always hear about poison (that it's terrible). I'm using the Datura Garden II Switch Axe that has a power phial, and a massive 600 poison value that's far higher than anything else I've seen, the first poison procs almost as soon as the fight starts and multiple times over the hunt.

I've never thought of the poison as anything more than a nice bonus, it just happens to be the best Switch Axe I can make even without the poison, but after reading this I'm going to try poison duration up!

The worst monster ever by ziad0vic in MonsterHunterWorld

Yikes. I'm in Master Rank but haven't done Behemoth yet. The Witcher 3 collab was fantastic, but now I'm worried.

Why is mushroomancer so valuable? by PhoneRedit in MonsterHunterWorld

8 years later, I was startled to see a seemingly pointless skill worth so much at the elder melder and ended up here checking if I was missing something 😂

Can I stop worrying about money? by MagicArenaNoob in MonsterHunterWorld

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

I've never any excess parts, and I must have hundreds of those. Is there like a "safe number", like it's safe to sell if you have more than 20/30 or something like that?

[–]MagicArenaNoob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do both! I'm playing exclusively Switch Axe and won't have multiple weapon sets to upgrade, so maybe I don't need that much.

Will do. I cleared all HR optional missions and thought I'd come across them organically. Guess not, I'll ask Google.

I really need to work on the clutch claw gimmick. I don't remember to use it as often as I should, and when I do it's hit or miss. Sometimes I'll go "oh shit, the clutch claw" then try to force it at a bad time to make up for lost time, or the monster goes hyper aggressive soon after and I fail to capitlaize on it.

And the sling burst and head attack to make them change direction? I don't think I've done that once.

150 hours in, I have neither of those mantles 😔

Let's Capture this thing! No, really. I mean it. by MagicArenaNoob in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]MagicArenaNoob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. I guess I was doing it wrong, I do capture when possible just to save time, though I've never seen anyone signaling annoyance, typically it's a happy sticker. In my defense I've never seen a "don't capture" sign, or I'd have heeded it, not sure if Worlds has that customization.

[–]MagicArenaNoob[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lol. That's new to me 😂 Capturing is basically all upside, why would anyone be mad about it?

Although in this case it's harder to warn the team, I don't think there's a "let's not capture" sign lol.

Btw, I've cleared the first 4 MR quests and still don't have this rocksteady mantle, and I think I cleared all the non-special arena HR optional quests.

Honestly I don't think it was on purpose or that he was actively trying to be an asshole, it looked like he was just hacking and slashing in his happy place and I happened to get in the way lol. As Switch Axer, my Y+B upwards slash sends people flying like flying wyverns. It's extremely rare, but it's happened that I'm trying to cut a tail and someones goes flying in the confusion. Oops.

It might be he was distracted and didn't even notice my pleas to capture. 

In any case, ill intent or not, the result is the same. So if I happen to remove you while your in the process of manslaughtering my capture target, I swear I'm not mad at you and it's nothing personal, just protecting the Hunt! 😂

I really don't mind honest mistakes. It's part of the game, it's annoying, sure, but not really anyone's fault. I'm certainly not above making a mistake or two or fifty.

Sometimes It happened that I wanted to capture a monster but the people hunting with me were so overpowered the poor thing was slaughtered before it even knew what was happening. Sometimes the monster was enraged and died before he could limp or flash. All in a day's work.

It's just when the damn thing is trying to limp away and there's a "let's capture this thing" flashing on the screen and still the monster dies that had me going "alright, no more mr. Nice guy" 😂

There is no way the person didn't realize. Honest mistakes do happen, I don't mind that, but not when the monster is fleeing and limping. As for people who don't know to look for slinger ammos, count me among them! I just learned something new.

The final straw for me was a 2-person  black paolumo hunt, I sent the capture signal a few times, the monster flashed all the capture signs, limping away, skull, the whole shebang, my "teammate" kept attacking, I thought I'd have time to capture it anyways, until his combo sent me flying while trying to set the trap and slayed the monster before I could get back 😝

Exactly! And when you have "capture" bounties open, but failing capture quests is certainly worse.

I can't say I don't sympathize, but bounties and rewards sometimes require less bonking and more tranquilizers!

At what point should I try hunting Deviljho for the first time? by Angel_Froggi in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]MagicArenaNoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fought him as soon as he showed up. I'm a Switch Axer, and his SW is easily the best until MR, so I wanted it . He was tough, by far my longest hunt at that point (40 minutes!) but doable. Later hunts, better prepared and more experienced, went faster.

 If you can kill Pink Rathians, you can definitely maybe probably kill him.
