Yep. Normally it works perfectly fine, but for some attacks the knockback on the guard is enough that you don't get the counter attack. Bazel's roar is one such attack.

Guard 3 is amazing for CB's Guard Points! I love it.
Been solo farming tempered Kushala and my times are inconsistent. Ranging from 10 mins to 15 mins. What weapon and armor config are you guys using against Kushala to get consistent timing below 10 mins (solo)?
I see what you're saying but I still think it's an oversight. The percentages should be adjusted more significantly according to what you break, rather than be so close together.
I'm sure it says something that I apparently have an easier time getting Hero's Streamstones than Warrior's. I haven't been able to augment my Diablos CB yet because I only have 1 Warrior's: Axe and I must've gotten that a month ago.
It's bad enough that it's super hard to get the ones you want, but did they have to make it super hard to get them at all? Even the more common ones?

Sucks that this one event is apparently the only decent way to get them.
I'm fine with Hero's being rare, but I'd like to think Warrior's should be a tad easier to get. It's not like people are going to blow through the endgame seeing as how there's no way to guarantee getting the ones you want.

Tempered Nerginante in 2"17"85
my gs build for refference
yeah gs charge is the best damage in the game plus we all eat might pills.
thats our second try, our first takes 2"57.

Like someone else said, could be server issues. I'm on Xbox and have been having a bunch of disconnect/dropped group issues the last week, week and a half.
20 seconds. I always forget about them.
Might seeds last 3 minutes.
After 355h I have more hero stones than I need. in my box are:
2 SA/CB
2 GS/LS
2 H/HH
1 HBG/LBG
3 L/GL
1 SNS/DB
just the shaft one, for bows and insect glaives is missing (never got one of these). I already augmented 1 HH, 1 LS and 1 LBG (all rarity 8 obviously). I got every stone except one from tempered elders, the tempered jho didn't give me more than one after 5 or 6 attempts. It is easier and faster for me to kill a tempered kirin. Warrior Stones is even better, got 16 (!) cb/sa stones ...
yes, I am a hoarder ... Since MH on PS2 I have a mentality to always have at least one of everything in the box ... (the desire sensor must not know what I need!!! /s).
At the moment I am looking for gold crowns, so maybe that's why I got more stones the last weeks than the two weeks before combined ... or rng is just on my side these days. But overall I play for fun ... I don't play that much anymore, because there is not really a goal (aside from the platinum trophy) for me to achieve. The only thing I miss in MHW is my old group ... But I guess we grew older since 2005 ...
dung pods. If he appears, cover him in poop. then proceed doing your thing until he shows again, poop on him again if necessary. Farm some rarity 7 or 8 armor, good fire resistance and then ... kill bagel ... You will get to a point, where you use him as an ally against other monsters ;)
So I bumped into bezelgese today for the 1st time I am still wearing odogoron gear, at just hit level 6 monsters. Getting hit by a scale is a 1 shot. Any tips? Builds? I've already switched to a faster more agile weapon class after odor. I went from charge blade/ switch axe to insect glaive/bow. This monster is next level help
That poor nerg couldn't decide who to hit, and then it was over.
Like Guppeth said, they're super short duration (20 seconds) but the bonus attack is actually way, way bigger than the other stuff available. If I'm not mistaken they also stack with basically everything, including Demondrug.
we're too busy hitting our TCS so when he limp no one ready to flash him, could cut 10 or more seconds and only need 2 hit.
I should make a build for our GS runs. I basically run focus, weakness exploit 3 and utility skills. I bet we could do sub 2 if I had a more min/max style build (and we had caught him with a flash).
I tried out the heavy bow gun on tempered vaal solo. Took me almost 30 minutes to kill it.
Seems like I need to get the hang of the weapon still. It's fun but I get kinda bored using it. Maybe I'm missing something.

I personally don't mind the silver/gold reward boxes as they are. The biggest problem right now with breaking parts is how, say, breaking a horn still doesn't guarantee a horn as a bonus reward. For Kushala Daora there's a 66% chance you get a horn, 32% you get a scale and 2% you get a gem. That's just another unneeded layer of RNG especially if you consider breaking the horns isn't easy in the first place.
What I like to see is a guaranteed 100% chance of getting a horn, with the scale and the gem (and perhaps even a second horn) as an extra reward decided by RNG. You could consider them the result of collateral damage when you break the first horn.
But first and foremost: you break a horn, you get a horn. That's how it should work.
it all started as fun run all gs and that turned to this (I remember you said didn't have a proper gs set) , imagine if we all take more serious approach.
You wouldn't play the game much if everything dropped 100%
It's a grind game. It's just how it is. Horns do clearly need some sort of increase but not a guarantee.
For Vaal, try Shotgun build using Nergigante HBG (2x Close Range Mod, 1x Shield Mod). With proper offensive build (Attack Boost, Weakness Exploit, Maximum Might, Spread Shot Up), using Spread 3 you are looking at 17-20 x 7 damage per shot, that about 360-420 damage before you reload.
-------------------------
Picked up LongSword as my next weapon, holy crap I can't believe they pitch LS as noob/beginner friendly weapon.
Getting to maximum damage potential is harder than DB or even Insect Glaive/Charge Blade, and Foresight Slash literally a harder-to-pull-but-more-rewarding version of Lance's Counter Thrust.
I don't know, I feel the incentive to keep playing is already provided by weapons and armor requiring multiple horns/fangs/whatever. Even with guaranteed horn drops (and only when you break the horn), grinding is still required.
It's so much more generous with the window now than it was pre-patch, though. You can Slash through basically everything in the game now, as long as you're careful not to throw yourself straight into the second half of multi-part attacks.
Money is my biggest issue along with Majestic horns being insanely hard to get. I have the mats for so many things just so little money.
Though with the story done I'm not sure what my focus is now, endless end game grinding with no clear goal just ends up with me losing interest.

Man, I couldn't do shit last night.
I haven't even sold any materials.
- SOS'd a 4 reward, 1 cart tempered Kushala. Someone carted.
- Decided to switch to bow and solo it. Carted
- Switched back to lance. Carted.
- Devil'jho capture. Carted (he's easy with lance)
I feel like I'm in the minority, but as I solo'd pretty much all of the story and I've only crafted what was necessary money isn't a problem for me. 6 million and counting! I did spend a chunk of time using nothing but the bandit mantle (stopped now, running around hoovering that shit up is annoying) and I do save my high zenny reward investigations for my vouchers but other than that just the full reward value from soloing has served me well.
I haven't even sold any materials.
I should have mentioned I crafted every single bow (except the arena bow, and now Jho) during that time!
Soloing is definitely a good way to keep that money going up (particularly if you can pair it with the bandit mantle). I mean I have a lot of hours in the game now (closing on 300 hours) but I haven't had to worry about money basically since I started.

I've got 5.5 million Zenny and I haven't even bothered to sell any of my hundreds upon hundreds of spare monster bits. I've got full sets of all the Elder Dragon armor, Augmented and Upgraded. I've got a Rarity 8 weapon of every type.
Multiplayer is serious poverty. It's not 1/4th the Zenny, it's more like 1/10th, if that.

Yeah, once you take the odd cart into consideration it definitely gets much worse than a quarter.
I'm always furious with myself if I cart on a mission where I've used a voucher.
Real talk.
Currently at 1.5 milion zenny with 17 pages of assorted equipment at varying stages of upgrade.
Thats because you need to 'break' kushal head 5 times and have to be below 20 to 25% health on the fifth 'break' or beyond in order to break his horns to get it. Its not rare but a bitch to achieve especially in multiplayer where the values are multiplied. Check out gaijin hunter on youtube on the droprates and you will see. Its almost the same for Teo except Teo is twice.
I definitely have less luck with his gems than the other elders. Teostra and Nergigante in particular aren't cheap with their gems (for me).
As far as I know it's no different. Saves you having to worry about people in your session joining and messing you up or having to change the max players to 1, but that should be it.
EDIT: You'd also have to unlock all of the canteen ingredients yourself as you wouldn't get the benefit of others in the online session.

Yeah that's kinda crazy fighting a monster that many times for a certain material, like I said before I haven't really had any problem farming so far, usually with investigations I'll have what I need after a few fights whether it's fangs or gems, most was like 10 with Vaal because yeah, was only getting one fang every couple hunts and I only needed 3 for the Mail, and just having a look I've fought Kushala 6 times including the optional quest and I've got 1 gem and 7 horns. I can't imagine having to fight the same monster that many times without getting what you need.
I really hope they use the alternate skin Kushala as an excuse to make him like 250% bigger.
Bitch-ass dragon needs a sandwich.

It's crazy, I've got at least 5 gems from all other monsters, yet KD eludes me. At this point I've done everything in the game and am just crown hunting whilst joining SOSs, I still need the large KD crown so I jump in whenever it appears in the list, no luck thus far. Of course I could use the melder, but at this point I'm just being stubborn and want to see how long my run of bad luck continues.
If you do it solo, try Plunderblade cuz that can also give you a chance for Gems.
Just use a gold ticket to meld one. Kushala does seem to hold on to it's tail and gems, It took me forever to get a tail to upgrade the handicraft charm.
Does anyone have any good custom meals saved? I mostly play charge blade and dual blades. I've been using the chef special mostly so far, but now I have most of the ingredients and the hunts are harder, so I figured I should start eating for the felyne bonuses a little more and just using a max potion for the health.
The worst thing about Kushala is when you get a knockdown and rush up to the head to get some licks in but your positioning is just a little too close. Then this happens:
I keep getting a lot of Sword warrior and hero stones, I guess destiny really wants me to try GS, can't wait for the new cool looking one, it looks pretty scary to both move and attack so slowly tho.
