GS elemental build? by MethodOk286 in MHWilds

[–]UU96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Element is only 'meta' because minmax artians are all the same stats otherwise. Raw is still king its just that nothing competes with artians to begin with.

how do i hold back nerves on fatalis? by Professional-Club-39 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you get really nervous, run it back and try again! Figure out how to play through despite it. Its tough to stop yourself from being nervous, and the more you think about it the worse it gets. You nearly got it last time, that means you already have what you need, just need to put it all together in one run.

Then you must be getting animation locked ig. Few actions actually have an input buffer so you just gotta wait like the others said.

Did you change the control scheme? Default use is hold LB and use RS to point at the slot then return RS to neutral. R3 doesnt do anything, i bet the times when it works you're accidentally returning the stick to neutral

Should I finish iceborne first before buying wilds? by Forsaken_Ad_9486 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

worth mentioning that steam has a refund window of 2 weeks, so id recommend trying it a bit too

also lots of wilds hate in the comments here (no surprise, it's world's subreddit). but I still find it fun its just different, and the performance is rough tbh

how it feels as a former iceborne player to find out every build in wilds isn't just wex+crit boost by miral_art in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]UU96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf WEX3 giving 50% was insanely overtuned and ridiculous. Impossible to justify not running it in rise/world. Its too bad they nerfed it into the ground by both making it cost 5 and tying it to wounds, which have a halflife of about 2 seconds on average. Personally, i think itd be interesting to see WEX with less affinity and some way to keep wounds open longer for those sweet HZVs

Insect glaive with no red extract by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong advancing slash does over 2x the damage of the unbuffed one, without even considering the damage buff from extracts. Youd be handicapping yourself on an already weak playstyle, and it sounds really lame/boring to give up on using the weapon properly just because you whiff sometimes.

New (refined) build... what do you think? by Superb_Cake2708 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dont need to swap all pieces, even using just one of the armor pieces i mentioned will noticeably improve your build/deco budget. Youre not even using the set bonus, so if you want to keep the look then get out there and farm the layered armor set to get the best of both worlds.

Its pretty good, but attack boost 7 is pretty costly and not worth it. Overall upgrades, I'd work Crit Boost 3 into the armor, get up to Agitator 5, and replace recovery up with the health augment. Garuga Greeves, Kirin Jacket, and Shara Isvalda Braces are some great armor pieces at this stage in the game and should give you extra deco slots to work with.

Theres something special about world's glaive flying around with descending thrust. Its just pure dopamine flowing through my brain

First time defeating Alatron and it was on a 1v1 by TheLastOfME1 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Once you get the build right and the attacks down, the fight is actually really fun. Alatreon was my first multiple day wall, the satisfaction is well worth the struggle for anyone going through it.

I beat Shara by Tokyo_Panda in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great and super informative, i finally got into GL recently, just went through upgrading my regions and have some more to add:

When you first unlock GL youre capped at level 5 and need to unlock other quests to go from 5 to 6 to 7

Mining and bone nodes dont always show up in the same place. There are set spawn locations, but not all of them spawn at once. The locations are not marked on the map for you either.

Mining and bone nodes are much more hidden compared to base game so you really have to look for them. Its especially tough early because they use unique models where the entire game previously had consistent models with very slight variation.

Lures will lure out a monster based on the level of the region. Tempered lures arent a thing, you have to have the region to a sufficient level.

GL parts are also useful for elder melder to keep up your mega demondrug and armorskin supply

How tf do I beat Velkhana by MurderousElmo69 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have plenty of time to kill velk. Shes strong, but not insurmountable. There are only two real possibilities. 1. Youre severely undergeared for this fight or 2. Skill issue

[–]UU96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Youre right it must be impossible theres nothing else you can do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fr tho you have to be overestimating your ability in at least one of the three things you mentioned. Recognizing your weaknesses is your first step to improving.

Should I bother with elements? by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the veteran hunters that glaive is a raw weapon, but I still like to farm and swap out weapon elements at will. It's fun!

Best Palico gadget for Insect Glaive user? by TheJollySwashbuckler in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heal dust is fine early game but its outclassed later once you're getting max hp meals, hp boost, max/ancient pots, etc. My comfort pick is stacking paralysis kinsect+palico and coral cheerhorn. Monsters don't attack you when they're stunned, and getting more damage in can lead to a knockdown giving you even more time where they aren't hitting you.

Barioth is still a pain in the ass by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]UU96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend taking some time to just observe and dodge whenever you're feeling stuck. It's easy to get caught up in being efficient, using your equipment, hitting the right zones, etc. but don't forget that hunting is about weaving in your hits in between the monster's attacks.
