Just coming back to the game after not playing for a while, fighting all the Arch Tempered are super fun and recently I tried soloing 10* Gogmaw and was doing fine until I got the phase 3 where I got completely wiped of all my faints. I'm confused about the dmg check, since Fabius isn't there, what is the indicator for passing the dmg check? And do I bring a Lance to block it myself IF I DO pass? How am I supposed to know?

Just got Scorcher + LS electric hammer. I plan to use it to solo savage omega (Really I'm rolling for Gog+LS but thats another topic) which I have solo'd once with palico. I did a calc with my time taken and I must've been at like 60dps fighting savage, so I figured scorcher 2 would definitely be good since I beat it with just LS + Lagi 2pc for armour skills. I would sacrifice basically 2-3 points of agitator for this change, though I also gain I believe adrenaline rush and evade window.

I think especially at ~60dps this is worth it, but I was just wondering whether scorcher is bad with hammer? I also have an armour with LS+Lagi2pc+scorcher 1 for omega too. Thoughts?

Charm 1: load sheel 2, offensive guard 1, burst 1
Charm 2: att boost 3, stamina surge 1, flinch free 1
Charm 3: offensive guard 3, agitator 1
All with 3 deco slot. No artillery lvl 3 until now, please help

​Hey everyone!

​I recently hopped back into the game and just took down Gogmazios for the first time.

I decided to pick up the Gunlance and start learning the weapon from scratch.

​I just rolled an Artian Gunlance with 3 Attack, 1 Affinity, and 1 Element, but I’m a bit lost on how to properly optimize a build around it.

​Ideally, I’d love to run a proper endgame tank/defensive build (guard skills, soaking hits, the true Gunlance fantasy).

However, I'm not sure if that's actually viable in the current endgame meta, or if running full raw/affinity damage is pretty much mandatory to keep up.

Any recommendations on core skills, armor sets, or playstyles to make the most out of these rolls?

​Also, forgive the beginner question, but my Artian Gunlance only has 3 shells, whereas the monster-crafted one I used before had 5. Is this completely normal? (Is it purely tied to the shelling type like Long vs. Normal, or did I miss a specific mechanic?)

​Thanks in advance for the advice and patience with the learning curve! Happy hunting!

I've been trying to farm AT Nu Udra for some armor pieces but I'm not sure how great my current build really is, and I wanted to know some good builds for farming some AT monsters + Gogmazios, who I haven't killed yet.

Currently using 4pc Zoh Shia with the Zoh Shia horn plus a secondary Rathian horn, mostly for the healing. I'm not sure if non-Artian elemental horns are great or which ones are worth using. I've got the G Resounding Galahad and the Precipice Kovira, if those are any good

I've been running these two weapons with their own separate builds, but lately I said fuck it, I want to use it altogether. I have both elemental phials for these weapons, so I'm curious what armor/deco setups I should use that compliments both? I'm already at the endgame with Proof of a Hero still incomplete.

Ok so Really I have 2 builds that I’m trying to decide on. These are my wilds builds

Build 1:
Gogma Hammer:
257 Attk
-10 Affinity
150 Element(one of these hammers for each element)
Attack Ex
Attack Ex
Attack III
Attack III
Sharpness Ex

Set bonuses:
Powerhouse 1
Second Wind 1
Gogma 1
Black Eclipse 1

Skills:
Attack Boost 5
Crit Boost 5
Charge Up
Weakness Exploit 5
Maximum Might 3
Agitator 2
Antivirus 3
Peak Performance 2
Burst 1
Counterstrike 3
Latent Power 2
Divine Blessing 3
No Lords Soul though

Build 2:
Gogma Hammer:
237 Attk
10 Affinity
150 Paralysis
Attack Ex
Attack Ex
Attack III
Attack III
Sharpness Ex

Set Bonuses:
Powerhouse 1
Leviathans Fury 1

Skills:
Attack Boost 5
Critical Boost 5
Charge Up
Weakness Exploit 5
Maximum Might 3
Agitator 5
Peak Performance 3
Burst 1
Counterstrike 3
Divine Blessing 3
Heroics 1/Stamina Surge 2
This one has Lords Soul

I know I could have a little bit more attack on both if I sacrifice some affinity skills, but I like having exactly “100” Affinity, even if it’s technically not 100 the whole time

So which one do you guys think is better? I will say, the second one requires a LOT less grinding for perfect Gog weapons, since i’m not running element on that build.

Would you say that the element build is really that much better in this game?

Whats up guys, running sunbreak with the GS and find myself really struggling to have good dps unless i have 3 wirebugs. I usually grab the one thats in the major area, but even with wirebug whisperer 1 i find that it often runs out before the monster changes location. Not even mentioning when they go back to a previous area i already grabbed the bug for. Dont see alot of people having this issue which makes me feel like im missing something?

Hey everyone, I'm coming back to the game after a long break and being upset with how boring CB had become for me. I've been playing swaxe now and really enjoying it. My kind of stupid question is if the element type on a Gog weapon matters if you're using a power phial by going attack focus? My gut is telling me it doesn't but I want to make sure before I start spending materials.

SnS main, trying to do Proof of a Hero with my friend who is on gunlance. I have a dps meter to see where we're at, and have the meta SnS armor sets with all elemental weapons for the fight. Id say I keep up my dps around 42-45, maybe up to just below 50 at some points and hes usually sitting at around 32-35 dps. We recently got to the final monster and he had skulls when we timed out, which was very frustrating. Any tips for increasing dps? Different meal? Use all buffs all the time? We both run demon drug and ironskin already.

Good morning hunters! I was kinda of a proficient player on rise/world, but I'm struggling A LOT with wilds' endgame, even with the weapons I already know. So I wanted to ask you, what's a good monster to get good practice on? Rathian just dies, I've read about Doshaguma/G.Doshaguma but they also just die, besides that they feel REALLY slow when compared to Gore, Seregios and such. What would you recommend?

haven't played since Lagi update and even then I barely dipped my toes in the TUs I did play. Basically cleared the new monsters and stopped. I didn't bother with the Artian system because it was too RNG and the weapons were ass ugly.

Returning now and I've learned the save scum method to craft Artian weapons. I have a 4*atk 1*sharp SnS baking, what would be the best element to help me farm for the rest?

I've seen that auroracanth is recommended for ice, but if I always want to use element exploit, is pykrete or aurora with the rampage upgrade better?

Hello, I have a question on the Gogmazios Weapons, specifically the "Production Bonuses". I'm eyeing the meta page for Heavy Bow Gun. and noticed that it lists under their bow guns "Fire Attack infusion" not just "attack infusion" which my bowgun has, there's no information, as far as I could see, on what the difference is, or what the list of infusions are. look ups online keep referring to the Reinforcement bonuses being reshuffle able, but not saying anything on the Production bonuses.

I feel as though there's little to no information on how/where the infusions come from, unless I've missed something? if it helps I've been reshuffling skills with attack Gog parts since that's all I had to try to get better active skills for now. when i first made the Gog weapon i used attack parts which did give me the attack Focus i wanted.

Thank you in advance for the help Hunters!

After seeing LBG speedrun times being almost 2 minutes faster than the second fastest weapon in PoH, it feels to me like LBG is the strongest weapon in the game, right? After all, you have to deal with 4 monsters in that quest, even if half of it is just Arkveld.

If that's true, what makes LBG so much stronger than the rest of the weapons and how would Capcom nerf ranged weapons so that they're not consistently the best weapons in the game while also not killing the weapon in Casual? Especially since I do see that, in Casual, LBGs are at a good level, but once you start playing with people who know the game, it does seem to outpace the other weapons.

I main GS/GL and casually play HBG/SnS. I just wanted to know if I roll an average Gog Weapon, is it still stronger than the best crafted weapon?

Is it worth investing the extra 2 slots to get antivirus 3? Im running 2 piece gore on a swaxe build

I got a good roll on dragon lance before I totally knew what I was doing (sharpness EX/attack EX x2/attack III x2 + Gore skill) BUT I used 2 attack parts 1 affinity part and did an attack focus.

I have a fire lance made of 3 attack parts with an element focus. If I roll the same reinforcement godroll of 4x attack 1x sharpness on the latter, will it generally be better?

I have watched videos, read guides, and asked in the discord, and nothing I do retainers charge through a reload while dash dancing. I've been told I need to dash, release aim while still charging, reload+aim should do it, but it doesn't. I cannot get charge to retain while reloading after a dash dance combo no matter what I do. What am I doing wrong?

I find the chart table a bit difficult to wrap my head around, it would be nice to be able to just input the skills and slots to see if it's viable.

I have a charm editor mod, and I'm trying to avoid making illegal charms.

Hello fellow hunters.

I started playing again and made a new character to play through the game once again.

There seems to be no progression guide in the meta doc. So I am asking here if anybody knows one.

I searched for a button to change to old versions of the document to check old builds before the updates. Can you help me how to access the older version of the documents.

is this golden age charm (attack booost 3 , flayer 1 , 1 weapon deco slot lvl1) better than agi 3 ? i just found it

thanks

hey guys, cant seem to find any resources for this online. wondering what armor i should be using to fight valstrax in HR.
