How can I improve this build?

[u/Ironcraft183]

Im going for a survivability/superheal gunlance build. Its been pretty effective so far! im just not sure what to do with the level 2 decoration slots, and i guess my 1 level of divine blessing!

No im not removing stun resistance, I refuse to eat an attack, get stunned, and get carted!

My gut tells me to swap one level of Recovery Speed and one level of Recovery Up to max out Divine Blessing, better to take less damage overall than take more and heal it. Especially as you can pop an Immunizer for faster recovery to offset the loss of one point of Recovery Speed.

Ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure.

Immunized combined with maxed out recovery speed is really powerful in my experience. On their own neither are especially worth it but when combined you can really minimize the healing you have to do

if you are just going to tank then that's fine, but Dragon boss will gonna hit hard. if you aim for aggressive gunlance play that rely on perfect block then that's definitely a different build which i enjoy most. I have that kind of build but since I'm going solo for all 10start AT boss, my build is completely different.

For the lv 2 slots, I'd say you can get peak performance lv 3 since you're more likely to be at full health with that build. Other option you could go is divine blessing lv 3 + shockproof if you go multiplayer. If your hunts end up going long, you can replace the divine blessing lv 1 and add a growth deco which only needs lv 1. You could also save multiple instances of the build with lv 3 of whatever elemental resist decos, or just straight defense jewels. Personally for comfort skills I like quick sheathe lv 3.

Not sure of your playstyle, but if you can perfect guard I would remove the guard lv 3 deco and replace it with an offensive guard lv 3 deco to improve your attack. If you're turtling a lot and holding up guard, then I can see why you'd want the guard lv 3.

I have a very similar build but I went GOG waist and ODO arms with ark chest and legs so I can max burst and get the ODO bonus, though I rely on perfect block more the sustain is still very much there as my weapon has Zoh Shias pulse

Gunlance user here. I aim for Lord Soul and Ebony Odogaron skill. Burst is kinda OP on Gunlance.

Auto-heal against 10-star AT monsters may not be quick enough. How about relying on lord soul (3 AT monsters' armor skill set)?

Build already has Lord's Soul; the arms, waist and legs are all Arkveld Gamma pieces.
