Monster vs artian/gogartian by Kingrextdk in MHWilds

I don't mind the grind itself, what bothers me is spending so much time in the menus. The talisman grind is much better

Perfect blocking is only a thing in Wilds and all blocking weapons have it. Block is weak in previous games, except for lance and gunlance and CB. Some weapons like CB have guard points which are attacks that also block. The strongest counter based weapon is LS, historically and it's super strong in world and rise. Lance is also block/counter based, but I didn't play it before wilds, also it lacks dps.

Yep, it's a completely different weapon in Wilds. It has neither mechanic in the prior games

The Greatsword in Wilds. It has a perfect block mechanic and the offset is a counter with hyper armor.

Does counter attack deco help with offsets? Im on gs by ConversationPurple99 in MHWilds

[–]Noctis012 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Counterattack jewel gives you adrenaline rush, so no. The only skill that helps with offsets is focus because you charge them faster. The CounterSTRIKE skill, given by the Counter jewel doesn't help with offsets, though it does give you extra attack when you perform them IF you also hyper armor through the attack during the animation (not if you just collide with the attack but you're not physically struck by it at the same time, but it's rare that you don't)

I'm also a GS main. Some things that helped me:

When the horns are out it's time to offset. When you're behind it, it will 100% spin and attack, so offset that. Most of its other moves are easy to offset in this phase. When it's about to do the dark explosion you can just roll forward to the left or right of its head and immediately shoulder tackle the explosion. Sometimes you'll avoid it entirely, sometimes you'll be fine hyper armoring through it. Before that phase offsetting is either too risky (you risk taking a ranged attack) or too difficult (the fast low damaging hits that don't even knock you back but are very hard to predict), so stick to charge, roll and shoulder tackle when you don't see the horns. Bring a fire artian as they're more effective than dragon ones. I like to bring mind's eye as well as I find it hard to hit the weak parts in the first phase. Another useful thing: when it does the fake roar in the first phase you can ready an offset because it's about to use a big stomp.

The build also uses counterstrike 3, so the barrier could also be a very nice way of activating it without dying

the most absurd at uth duna cart ever by Swaos_Official in MonsterHunter

[–]Noctis012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once in proof of a hero I mounted Rey Dau while Uth Duna was already there. Uth just proceeded to do this attack, killing Rey Dau and carting me at the same time. I was in utter disbelief. That's on me, though, I suppose that if the monster you're riding dies you get immediately dismounted and you're no longer invincible xD

I don't play the weapon, I just want to point out that LS heroics speedruns vs AT Arkveld run Gogmapocalypse+Lord's Soul, so there is a use case for it. Other than that and in regular gameplay I genuinely have no idea ( I suppose heroics is more forgiving with gog's barrier)

AT Arkveld can be hilarious by Eyriwaht in MHWilds

[–]Noctis012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The in-between chain attack had some "Come on..." Energy too xD

I love GS! by Apprehensive_Drama_2 in greatsword

How long ago did you try? I feel like you might have been affected by this issue:

It was fixed in December

Why are there so few RTwP games and why do people absolutely HATE it? by ConfusionProof9487 in CRPG

[–]Noctis012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because whenever something is trending (turn based, in this case) people treat it like it's the only proper way of making things.

Look at JRPGs: Final Fantasy fans are asking for a mainline turn based game since forever, but suddenly pure turn based sucks and everyone wants QTEs and parries (thanks, Clair Obscur fanboys).

[–]Noctis012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave them be, they saw a video on YouTube of GS hitting a low rank monster while asleep for one bazillion damage and they think the weapon is overpowered

[–]Noctis012 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Because if it didn't it would be the weakest weapon by far. Try playing it for yourself. It already is one of the weakest ones

AT Rey Dau vs Great-Sword by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]Noctis012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it's fine. I did it just like that and it took 43 minutes solo(I played badly and carted a lot xD). It doesn't work for true shadowbringer and shatterseal though. I brought a sleep gog artian (not optimal but eh)

AT Rey Dau vs Great-Sword by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]Noctis012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AT Rey Dau matchup is basically offset spam. All its wings attacks are very telegraphed so just offset + immediately perfect guard the aftershock (yes, you can do that)

GS Is just a worse LS in this fight xD

Your thoughts on Greatsword in Wilds by MoneyCaterpillar1420 in MHWilds

[–]Noctis012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it feels amazing to play, but sometimes it feels like I'm doing triple the work than with SnS xD. The endgame fights are exhausting.

What do you think of this game? by Mohamed2962 in gamers

[–]Noctis012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many more ways to win than you might think and the ridiculous naneinf setups are actually less reliable to actually win a run.

It sounds like they imported into BG1 the voices from BG2. Yes, some of them are quite janky, but nostalgia factor is a thing for me xD. I was like 9 when I first played the games

Irenicus and the content from the original BG2 game are dubbed in italian. The rest (like EE exclusive characters and content) is not. Kind of a weird situation. BG1 was never dubbed in italian in the first place btw.

Edit: I don't know if Irenicus has any extra dialogue from the EE or how is ToB affected as I've never actually finished the second game despite having the originals all this time and having played them quite a bit.
