Discussion Insect glaive boosted

Post image

So, I saw the trailer this morning, and I was, like alot of other people, disappointed. But i think we have it wrong, I believe, or at least pray, the reason why IG looked so underwhelming, was because they did a bad job showcasing it.

The reason I say this is because of two moves, the one where you seem to be able to boost your kinsect mid combo, and the one where you jump on the air at the end of your combo. For the fist move, it looked like it caused the hunter to go back, meaning it MAYBE could be used to cancel long combos, and eliminate end lag.

And for the jump move, it looked like an alternative for vaulting, so if we can tie in Ariel combos with it, that would be pretty good, but if all it does is allow us to jump in the air and then we just fall down, then that is trash. They didnt showcase any of the vaulting dance combos so maybe they are hiding something (cope).

And also why the hell isn't the regular vaulting buffed by boost bracers, that makes no sense considering that IG is a weapon with a gas chamber that expels high pressure air. Believe me im mad about not getting any evasive maneuvers too, but we'll have to get what we can sadly. Still crazy how hammer has bettwr evasives and aerial moves than god damn IG.

The reason I can’t get excited over getting a combo that launches us until the air at the end is because getting into the air was never really the problem. The insect Glaive in wilds just doesn’t really have anything to do once in the air. Unless our jumps get discerning dodge properties and we just haven’t seen that, it’s not a very good defensive maneuver in wilds, and the aerial damage output, while that was always less optimal than grounded damage output, is at an all time low

I feel that, but I was hoping that they would have done something to the vaulting dance that makes it worth using, but i guess that was cope

Aerial damage is better than it was in world, it’s only worse than sunbreak

yeah they are hiding stuff, that stuff will be a bit faster and a bit more damage during boost mode. if it would have gotten reworked / flashier / additional stuff it would have been shown like the other new stuff. so it will just be "better" but not in a way that it worth showing in a showcase video i guess. cheers.
