I just wanna fight Zinogre :/
it seriously is a great (and slept on) skill. I was surprised at how often it activated. And its also great when you're getting tick damage from anything. That Divine blessing message goes off like crazy haha
shoot that SOS out, don't try to go at it alone. You might have better luck, especially since the game has been out for a while and A lot of folks know how to deal with it
I've been using RF long enough that I disagree about comfort. It just something I'm use to.
Using single fire with that huge clip size and recoil 1, i have to go back to camp to restock after my crafted second wave finishes. That's something I almost never had to do with RF because everything outside elders and their damn auras die before I'm out of ammo. It could be that I'm more selective with my shots in RF, or I simply do more damage with them, or a combo of both.
Honestly, Multiplayer makes it even worse, because half the time they're as incompetent at dodging as me.
Not from Era, just randoms, and the few times I have its gone worse lol.
I can prob help if you need. I play on psn, east coast time. I won't be able to get on till prob around 9pm tho.
They post the session ID in the threadmarks
I would suggest letting the vets in here give ya a hand
Again get health boost 3, Divine Blessing, Felyne insurance and Fortify
Blast build wouldnt hurt either. Stay at the flanks and only go for the head on staggers and downs
Bring Farcasters and keep that health topped off. Bring Temporal Mantle/Rocksteady/Healthbooster
You can do this!
Divine Blessing is great. It's so nice to be able to put two points in Rocksteady and not worry nearly as much about dying while clutch clawing.
It is almost always worse with randoms... (in my experience). If I was able to get on right now I'd help you. I've gotten pretty efficient with Shara. Hopefully some people are on and can get you through it.
Yeah, I'm so happy man, Kulu layered is all I ever wanted from layered sets.
So far I bough every single add on there was to buy and will buy whatever they have for sale. It's not something I really need but I don't mind supporting them, especially after they gave us such an amazing game and expansion.
Does anyone here know how the Defense Augment actually works? The 15 Defense bonus is clear, but it also seems to have a Divine Protection like effect on top. Since I already have DP 1 in my set I am wondering whether it actually stacks or whether I have 2 chances for it to proc now.
That's the main reason I created the squad.
But people seem more inclined to abandon the game and complain than ever ask for help in MH OT threads.
It even says in the threadmark that people can ask for a specific time. I'm sure that as long as the request is made in advance a group of 3 players will agree to help. Doubly so if it's during the weekend.
Not sure!
Would be nice to see a test on it but most augmenters focus on offense. Makes sense since defense is pretty easy to slot in with 4slot decos
Well now people do just because there's often nothing better to do when you have only 1 free augment slot after giving your R12 weapon a Health augment.
a quick google search says that it does have a divine protection built-in, but apparently does NOT stack with the actual skill
Thanks for the offer, but I should probably take a break to chillax. I might need it if I cant do it later, though lol.
I got health boost, felyne insurance, and fortify last time and got pretty far. But the further you get to finishing, the more frustrating it is to fail lol. Do Demon/Armor Mega drugs override or stack on Fortify?
Never build for defense boost skill. Health boost is significantly better than even rank 7 defense boost because of how the damage formula works. Augments on weapons are expensive enough that unless your trying to build specifically for a crazy defensive tempered build, those slots are better spent elsewhere.
As far as I know, the RNG for Divine Blessing procs first, and if it fails, the Defense Aug procs.
No they stack with it
The question was about the defense Weapon augment which gives 15 def and a Divine Blessing effect
Yeah, I read that as well now, but apparently it's not clear whether it actually gives you 2 different chances of proccing it when you have it.
Mainly asking because the Gold Rath Switch Axe can have 4 augment slots and since I use health augment only defense or elemental boost fits. Not sure whether 30 additional poison will make more of a difference tbh
Those boost are all seperate except the regular to mega potions. Those override each other
Those are unrelated so they stack.
My proposal is for you to suggest a time where we can join you. Be it tomorrow or this weekend.
Heck I was already jumping online to post the current session Id so we could do a decently coordinated hunt.
Shieldspire stooge is a great palico ability for the final boss. It spends a lot of time just blasting the crap out of the stooge and you can do a lot of damage by hanging out around the underbelly. Stay near the tail and you're relatively safe from attack (just run away when it goes underground).
You can use vigorwasp until the one free livesave ability kicks in then swap it for shieldspire.
Never block the big beam. It does about 70-85% damage (fortify helps) if you take the hit, but if you block it'll chip about half your health then hit you anyway because you run out of stamina.
Health boost 3 is practically a requirement. Divine is the 2nd best defensive skill. Also get level 1 mirewalker so that sand is easier to deal with.
Except it's not?
Holy shit that is the sexiest LS I've ever seen! I'm starting to understand why people are so mad about some of the weapons designs in world.
I wish I had an aqua mobility gem, the only thing i have with the skill is my barioth legs i think, which dont go great with my build
Okay thats good to know, thanks
I think my biggest problem is the AI's ability to know exactly when to use its beam. Ill do a gunlance shell release and in my recovery itll turn on a dime and immediately blast me before i have any time to move.
I build some weapons for it and upgrade it too. I'm not sure if it stacks with Divine Protection as an armor skill although I've read it doesn't.(one wiki says it does stack) Not sure how to prove or disprove that claim though. It'd be a difficult thing to test.
Anyway the more you upgrade defense the better the Divine Protection rank, so it's a really wonderful augment to just add that Divine Protection skill without needing to build anything else around it. For certain weapon types I prefer this to the health regen mod. When there's just one augment slot left I like putting in that defense boost just for the Divine Protection level 1 alone. I just really wish the game was more clear that it was granting that skill.

What would be essential skills for the GS? I already have full Focus and Sheath 2 (I wish I had a third jewel...) but other than that I'm not sure. Is Guard worth it or are you better off evading?
MHW is one of the prime examples of (paid) DLC done right in my opinion.
I personally don't need the gestures or stickers, but I have happily bought some of the Handler outfits even if I tend to stick with the chef one.

If you can evade, don't block, blocking is for when you're waking up into Velkhana's aoe with no other choice. The tackle is what you really need to learn how to use though, especially to avoid roars.
I don't know how much this will help but here's a few tips I've learned grinding Isha with my friend for a single dumb head piece
- Focus your attacks right at his face. If you can't hit him there (in the case with most weapons I guess, but I main the LBG) try latching on and breaking his legs. I believe breaking them will topple him over. Don't forget, the bigger they are, the harder they fall: you want to get on his head as soon as possible and slam him into a wall. Look for the wall on the Left (right?) side of the first area with the rocks dangling above. Not only will Shara take damage from the slam, but also the 3 boulders falling on him. It is also possible to mount him; if you don't have a Insect Glaive user/in your party, get him by a wall and just run up it. You jump backwards and can hit him to try and get a mount.
When the armor starts crumbling off him move away as far as you can as the explosion does damage.
Other second stage things:
- The long range lasers, you should be able to dodge out of the way with a roll.
- The small thin invisible lasers are still pretty devastating to me. I've had better luck rolling forward toward Shara when he does that move.
- If you can, stay out of the sand as much as possible. Shara explodes rocks out of them and the huge super nova move will do massive damage from that (i think its a one shot KO). If you have Mirewalker, its a godsend here.
- Bring tons of supplies, maybe even more to craft. Since you can't leave the arena normally, make sure you bring a farcaster with you ALWAYS. This is especially great if you don't think you'll have a chance to recover; Farcast out, rest up, resupply and come back. You *do* have a full 50 some minutes to fight him. Also helpful are things like Demon/Armordrugs, things to make mega potions and even stuff like bombs you could try to put in front of him (he's very weak to blast type attacks)
- I believe you *can* run him into walls but its kind of hard with how massive the arena is. There's apparently some on the sides that are "traps" like the boulders in the first stage but I've never been able to get him in one.
- If all else fails, look for other people doing the quest or send out an SOS flare!
Only essential skill for GS is Focus and Crit Draw for the Crit Draw build (and this build requires a bunch of other elemental based skills as well). You definitely don't need Quick Draw.
If you can squeeze it in the build some how then Maximum Might lvl5 is pretty good with GS.
And you never want to guard with GS. Evade or tackle. Tackle through roars is fairly easy if you see it coming while you are charging up.

Guard is not worth it for GS. You spend so much time sheathed that you should have an easy time dodging with superman dives and by running.
You want some sort of crit, either crit eye + weakness exploit, maximum might lvl 5, or crit draw if you're going with the velkhana set.
I don't play Gunlance but everyone who does hates that fight.
It's just Focus and maxing out your crit.
I tried the Crit Draw GS build and honestly it's just too boring for me to play compared to the TCS style. I can see it being effective for Kirin or Brachydios but on those matchups I'd rather just play another weapon type. Hammer does that hit-and-run playstyle better IMO.

Thanks everyone!
Focus 3 is easy enough to obtain, so that leaves me with plenty of opportunity to slot in the likes of Crit eye and WE without losing my cherished Recovery Up/Speed Eating/Free Meal triumvirate.

With GS you want to either evade or tackle through everything.
Really, most of the core skills are just damage ones. WEX, Crit Eye, Crit Boost, Handicraft if it gets you purple, etc. In terms of QoL skills it'll just be stuff like Health Boost and Divine Blessing. Quick Sheath helps a little but not too much unless you're running a pure Crit Draw set.
So, tried my fully upgraded Brachy hammer, and the first phase went from 13 minutes to 21, despite me doing constant hundreds of damage. Also, for some reason, literally refused to give me any slinger ammo? Despite clutch clawing his ass 5 times?
Every weapon I've tried(Brachy Hammer, Velk Bow, Glavenous DBs) Has been trash and worse than my Rath Gunlance, but even Gunlancing I cant do it.
I think I'm ready for those offers now -_-

Since a hammer is a heavy weapon, it's not going to drop slinger ammo. you're going to need to pick up the stones on the ground.
Thats actually really dumb and not thought through, since the first phase has no stones yet very obviously wants you to clutch claw him.
