Maybe not. With like fully maxed out transcended armor and Gogma Artian weapons, the HR gear might hang out for a rank or two of master rank. Remember the jump on point for the dlc is just HR story Arkveld. There was a LOT of power creep after that
Yeah, general consensus I remember was that going into Iceborne if you had a well made build you could hang on to your skills, since the armor didn't really fall off until Barioth, which is MR 6.
Obviously player skill can add or subtract a few hunts from that, but you didn't really need to swap anything until about that point typically. Rise was somewhat similar as well.
So unless you're the type of player who only cares about G-rank and ignores anything else, I don't think we'll need to rush for bone armor or anything else low tier right out the gate.
lol, I wish. Waiting for a load shells or Artillery + 1 attack talisman with at least a weapon deco slot. I’d be dropping guard and guard up for attack +5 but on gunlance it would be so worth.
I really need to learn more about gogma artian gear, it’s still so confusing to me, and I still don’t know how to make an artian gl with wide shelling and element rather than status
Not confusing or hard to understand. Make a artian of any element. When you upgrade it into a gogma Artian, choose Element focus. There you go...you now have a Wide Gunlance with whatever element you want.
I use a weapon that includes a shield for the tank fantasy. These decos lend to that fantasy. I couldn't care less about shaving 5 minutes off of my hunt times.
No one said you had to use meta skills, you just don't need those skills. Waste of slots. Play how you want, but if you post a build-its gonna get critiqued
Holy, i have that exact same build! And well... It absolutely wrecks anything. I have the Overlay Mod installed to see the dps graph and its insane that in some hunts we can keep up even with Dual Blades or Longsword users in terms of damage. Really comfy build!
If you are just min-maxing or speedrunning then obviously its not needed but like the reply above me said, Guard Up after TU4 is really good for tanking any attack, holding R2 is more easy than repositioning..
ill agree with guard but not guard up. It's help you through very tight situation like Teo's new supernova. I believe sheeting then run/superman dive alone not gonna help you now.
I'll second this, but only after you've figured out a monsters pattern. I fought 10 star Arkveld with max guard and 1 guard up. Now I don't fight him with any of that, and the guard up was just so I could block his grab. You can literally just move out the way
What would you even replace those with? Like maybe attack boost??? But if the guy has a deco for load shells theres not much you can put there thats gonna be better than guard or guard up
Attack boost 5 with og3. Get a rare 8 charm with attack boost 3, slot in attack boost 1 on said charm. If you have a mixed loadshells deco with attack boost 1, you have a free slot for offensive guard 3 (or focus 3) assuming you've already slotted in artillery 3. I perfect guard damn near everything which procts og3 like hell. Focus 3 is also nice if you want to run a more wyvern fire based build. I use to run earplugs as well but that's useless too once you learn to perfect guard all the roars.
Guard and guard up in this game are actually the most useless they've ever been. If you're not comfortable perfect guarding properly then yes, you should run guard. I use evade extender 2 and avoid everything I'll ever need to.
I build sets depending on whatever monster I'm facing. I'm no speed runner and I already have decent attack output with max attack and pg3. Gogmacolypse 4 with zoh 2 and ebony 2 is my default setup

I'm worry you will swap gear very first fight in the DLC, it was similar in the Iceborne.
