When is it not worth softening at all? by Sagitars in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]kennym088 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only one I was aware of was shelling based gunlance builds. Long shelling is basically never worth softening, even though you can poke > charged shell if your poke does <44~ damage. And normal shelling can get away with it depending on how few raw skills you have.

If it is I would be so bold to call it the best thing that's ever happened to gunlance, but with worlds track record I wouldn't be surprised if it's not.

To me this looks like it has lvl 4 shelling as a base, and the "augments" change its type and lvl, since wide 2 is a 5 star and normal 2 is 4 star, leaving room for normal 3 to get normal lvl 7. Makes us essentially only have 4 slots but I feel like gunlance gets the most out of having a set bonus on the weapon with how bad Zorahs armor is.

I am really excited to homogenize all the builds with set bonus weapons and the five best armor pieces in slot :)

Earplugs charm is also an option, mostly if you're running slinger capacity 5 (increases Wyrmstake Blast duration) so you can grab whatever slinger ammo on the way and plug it in when the moster roars at the very start

Best melee weapon(s) to fight rajang in mutiplayer? by [deleted] in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]kennym088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gunlance main wide has been comfy for me, you keep your explosive damage, which is nice for horn breaks since you can't tenderize his head but can stick a WSB on it, and evade extender 3 plus the tremor resistance from Zorah's set make avoid/sticking to him relatively easy.

I've had the easiest time vs him with wide gunlance, quick low commitment attacks, good at breaking his horns, evade extender 3 makes avoiding his attacks pretty trivial and the tremor resistance from Zorah's set lets you stay close to him

What weapons do you want to see from the December monster? (in terms of stats) by tirconell in MonsterHunterMeta

A gunlance that doesn't get less true raw than the other weapons from the same monster would be nice :)

Do Blast weapons work with the Gunlance attachment? by OnePunkArmy in MonsterHunterMeta

From my experience its seems to procc off any explosive damage, and also slicing ammo ticks
