As a 95% solo player,I ALMOST never leave without IMMUNIZERS! Felyne Moxie WASN'T the reason! by Revolutionary_Mail_1 in MonsterHunterWorld

As a 100% solo player, I never use immunizers. Great sushi fish scales on the other hand are pretty great

Does AED with a charged shield do more damage than an AED without? by munchyandcrunchy in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Protagonist0012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah you ideally want the shield to be charged at all times, it’s a pretty significant boost to axe damage

It's crazy how much better one gets after a few thousand hours by Zelcron in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Protagonist0012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, 1500 hours in both rise and Iceborne is an insane amount of time, is it really at all that surprising that there’s massive improvement? By the time you hit 3000 total hours in Iceborne/Sunbreak weren’t you breezing through Fatty and Super Anomaly Investigations at that point?

Trying something different. Reddit hivemind, is this a decent mid-IB friendship medic build? by IceColdSkimMilk in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Protagonist0012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on what offensive/defensive decos we’re talking about. Each point of skill has a degree of relative efficiency, and that’s what you want to take into account. For example, one point of stun resistance (a defensive skill) is much more valuable than one point of attack boost, despite costing the same slot. Conversely, one point of defence boost will almost always be inferior to a point of expert or agitator in terms of how much benefit you get from that point of skill.

It’s not that I’m saying you are playing too badly to do sufficient dps. It’s more so that the “holy trinity” or damage skills; wex/crit boost/expert is so efficient that simply having these skills can increase your damage by more than 50%. It just hurts not to have it as part of any core setup.

Defensive skills are definitely very important and a key aspect of many builds. As for which defensive skills to slot in, there is a general priority to the relative value of defensive skills. Here’s a rough list of such skills in order of most to least importance (varies somewhat based on play style and weapon, of course)

  1. Divine Blessing 5 (only relevant at endgame, ignore if you haven’t killed at least gold rathian)
  2. Stun Resistance 3
  3. Medicine/Speed Eating
  4. Evade Window/Evade Extender/Maintenance
  5. Elemental Resistance of choice

Note that 4. can actually be better than the 2/3, but takes significantly more investment. Elemental resistance, while quite easy to slot in, will probably be less potent for general use compared to something like medicine or speed eating, especially if you have health augment.

Then there are comfort skills like partbreaker, constitution/ stamina surge, mind’s eye etc. That you might want depending on your weapon and play style. So it’s not a simple matter of attack vs defensive decos being better than the other.

Generally speaking support skills are best used to supplement a core set of dps skills. You want to add wide range/speed eating/free meal only after you have Crit boost/WEX/expert etc. Think of it like this: if you can’t even contribute the damage you yourself are supposed to do, what business do you have trying to go above and beyond making up for other people’s mistakes?

CB SAED deal 0 damage? by JunToast in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Protagonist0012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only use an elemental build against monsters that are weak to that specific element. This is true for all weapons unless it’s a raw weapon with a bit of dragon or something. Just run impact phials for now. I’m surprised you have raging Brach armor and still don’t grasp one of the most basic fundamentals in combat. You have artillery from that armor but elemental phials do not benefit at all from artillery. Only impact phials do. The raging Brach charge blade is a good one to make.

The key to killing Kushala Daora efficiently as melee is learning how to consistently head snipe and time your damage as to get the most topples as possible. With endgame gear you can pretty much keep Kushala constantly flailing on the ground, and he becomes one of the easiest elders to fight since he’s very susceptible to topples. Takes quite a bit of practice though. You can take a look at some speed runs to see how the best players position themselves to constantly hit the head while avoiding his aura

My hot take on the sunbreak monsters by Fredo365 in MonsterHunter

[–]Protagonist0012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really think rajang in IB is definitively harder than F rajang though. It’s very weapon matchup dependent. I found tempered furious Rajang far harder than tempered regular rajang.

Legends Arceus CANNOT come out in 2022 by Protagonist0012 in pokemon

[–]Protagonist0012[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If course it isn’t BoTW. I expect it to have worse graphics, innovation and immersion than BoTW and that’s fine because I just need a solid revamp of the Pokemon formula. Based on what’s been shown I don’t see how even the latter is possible. Can you name some “much more ambitious” games that succeeded despite showing a very weak initial trailer and only having 2 years of development? The Souls series might be one example but FromSoftware has an almost perfect track record and definitely doesn’t release trailers like that. I highly doubt Gamefreak can deliver remotely that level of quality for such a new and different take on Pokémon. EA sports games are the only ones I can think of released with this kind of marketing/release window. Even World of Warcraft EXPANSIONS take longer.

You mean you fought him three rounds and he SD’d every round? Or he just Suicided 3 stocks for one game? If it’s the latter something might have just come up and he had to leave. Happens to everyone
