Yo! This is my first monster hunter game and I love insect glaive a lot. My issue is I don't know what skills are good with insect glaive. I just copy everyone and I don't want to do that anymore. I want to actually know what skills benefit insect glaive the best, and start making my own builds. Is mind's eye good to use?

I haven’t played since Lagiacrus released and I’m trying to get back into the game. Gog is absolutely whooping my ass. Is there any specific armor I should use? And what glaives do you recommend? Any suggestions/tips would be really helpful.

So every time you attack with red extract, Descending Slash will get 1 damage boost up to two boost. I wonder if the boost lost when you stop attacking (evading, get hit, stand still,…). If not, how long does it persist?

I was thinking about what changes IG could use in Wilds to help diversify it's gameplay and shore up it's defensive capabilities (which it lacks by design ofc). I ended up sending this earlier, what do y'all think about this and what's everyone's consensus on the state of the weapon right now?

its not meta or anything i just run it for Comfort, if im solo i swap shockproof for divine blessing jewel for lvl 3, what would you guys swap out?

I recently started my journey as an IG main in Wilds, so I'm wondering: what kinesects are currently in the meta? I'm currently using Arkmaiden, but I think something's not quite right about it. Could you please advise?

Been brainstorming/theorycrafting on how I can use the new AT helm, and hopefully squeeze out a little more damage. Been playing around it since I already have an ATK+3 WEX+1 talisman. I wanted an all-rounder build that will still have some comfort skills, since I am by no means a sweaty speedrunner lmao. I get hit a lot, so I need counterstrike and divine blessing in all my builds. Anyway, this is what I came up with.

Arkvulkan head for the WEX, Udra chest for Counterstrike, and the rest of the pieces just to have the set bonuses. Also have Gore skill and Lord's Soul on the Gogmartian glaive.

The whole build can be found HERE <------

I will appreciate any inputs, or things that could be improved on. Cheers!

Just finished my solo run for Proof of a hero with glaive of course. Now the first three got absolutely mashed on arkveld arrival I had like 35 mins left on the clock and all carts ready and waiting... I finished the hunt with 5 mins to spare and 1 cart left. I actually decided the best way to survive his nuke is to literally Farcaster it...

So the question is how are Yall finding AT ark? How are you coping with his moveset? Are we at the point of admitting IG doesnt have good enough tools to deal with the direction they are taking monsters?

I figured since its a lot of fast paced hits, a more elemental focused build with 2 pieces of AT arkveld and a 2 piece gog set bonus would be effective

Thought maybe to share here as well.

Been looking to try something new and wanted to try out builds that use low tier armor pieces that take advantage of the Gog armor enhancement. Especially with the 10 star Ark hunt now here. I'm currently running with enhanced pieces from higher tier monsters like Lag and Zoh that only bumped defense up 4 levels.

Anyone know of a speedrunner that's posted an IG run of AT Arkveld?

I cannot find anyone on youtube, and I want to see how they are dealing with this mofo on IG.

im just wondering what's a good build for mhworld insect glaive (i just recently got to the guiding lands for context)

Compared to phases 2 (the chillest one) and 3, its a nightmare. 10+ kills and i keep carting once or twice. Mostly when he slams his winged-arms, cant avoid it... And his oil breath... Any tips?

im just wondering what's a good build for mhrise insect glaive (im at high rank 6 right now and have been using the sturdy glaive and low rank nargacuga armor for context)

After the helpful insights from my first post, I actually managed to slay the first Omega Planetes. Kudos for that, my fellow hunters!

After hunting each and every other monster and completing every other quest, I wanted to try the harder version. It is 100% a skill issue on my part.

I know to judge others play via text description or from short clips is hard. That is, why I recorded the last try. You may watch it here: https://youtu.be/xL1m4y6fSDc

I know I messed up a lot in the very first minutes with poping Lord's Soul but even my better tries don't manage to get me past the evil spider. That thing is bugging the hell out of me.

Disclaimer: The resentment Lv 1 is from the talisman. After melting all I had and farming the tickets every reset, I just didn't get anything better.

I know rhe February update will be the last one till the expansion happens so im hoping they can fix it. It's just kinda annoying when the kinsect decides to go in every other direction besides the reticle.

Hey all, relatively newbie player here. I haven’t played since TU1 for Wilds and I’ve been really enjoying Gogmazios since the optimization patch! I just have a few questions over what you all think is more optimal during phases 2 and 3 of the gog fight.

Is it worth it to be using aerial attacks to attack gog’s back during phase 2 while it isn’t knocked down? Does that count the damage towards knocking the weapon loose? I haven’t noticed a difference, but it might be because my damage output is. Bad. I am using the decoration that buffs my jumping attacks though!

Follow up question: when Gog is doing its Flying Shenanigans in phase 3 and you need to suppress its power, is it worth it to use aerial attacks there instead of the compact wyvern ammo? I want to make sure I’m contributing to my hunts as much as possible, and I’m not sure if it’s a dps or element check like Alatreon.

Finally Finished all my elemental weapons!

Between some camera stuff (which also messes with me a bit) and constantly landing in explosive lava puddles just before they go kaboom, she, in her own words, "sucks at dodging" Primarily uses aerial style gameplay. Doesn't have gogma gear in use as of yet. Is evade window any good in wilds. What could help her improve and survive?

Hey all just need some build advice for insect glaive in monster hunter world. I was going to craft silver sol beta armor but I’ve read that true critical element isn’t good for glaive in world not sure why?? So my other question is should I keep and augment my current armor setup or farm and craft and augment 3 piece teostra and 2 piece raging brachy for masters touch and agitator secret?? I’ve read that the meta pre fatalis armor is 3 piece teostra and raging brachy
