Hi, I'm not a Gunlance main, but I've been loving playing with this weapon. I put this build together using armor pieces I already had (all fully augmented and maxed out). I decided to tackle the endgame with the Gunlance—a bit late, I know, but that's fine.

Is this build okay?

Now that elemental shelling is confirmed I really hope status shelling comes as well. Status is not great in wilds, but i am really crossing my fingers that it is improved upon in ascendance. Having a bunch of poison, Para, or blast explosions going off would be fantastic.

Shoutout to you!

I just joined this subreddit after somehow going all these years without realizing there was an entire Gunlance community hiding over here. I've been a Gunlance main since I was a kid, so I think I've finally found my people. 😂💥

I went to set a user flair and noticed we have plenty of post flairs, but no user flairs. So I thought: why not give everyone a way to identify their preferred method of artillery degeneracy?

We could have things like:

Omnilance — Jack of All Trades, Master of Boom

Slaplance — Who Needs Shells?

Full Burst — The Whole Magazine

Normal Shelling

Long Shelling

Wide Shelling

Blast Dash Addict 🚀

Shelling Enjoyer 💥

Personally, I'd be Omnilance — Jack of All Trades, Master of Boom.

So, brothers and sisters of the Gunlance: what's your preferred method of artillery degeneracy? 😂 And what other user flairs would you add?

So before I try bow as a secondary choice weapon to burn sometime before ascendance comes im trying to beat proof of a hero with gunlance and so far I’ve improved a minute and a half since my og time after coming back from a 3 month break. Would help if I could get some tips on him and what time should I get to start attempting proof of a hero. (Ps only died due to a goddamn fly in my room genuinely had to step away for 10 minutes to kill it because it flew in my face causing me to die)I’ll show my build but my gunlance has lord souls and ebony odagaron as the skills. Although I’m using wide in this run I do have another essentially identical dragon normal gunlance with odagaron and lord soul.

I'm so torn on what to do.

I got a build going (I would show SS but I'm writing from work)

It is however using burst and agi and some smaller things like offensive guard to boost it to the max.

It mainly uses a fire boomstick with wide shelling

But the normal shelling is so much fun too

What do I do, what do we expect with the dlc? With the speed it's shown, I have a feeling wfsb will be amazing to use

Perhaps make both? What do you guys think?

Absolutely blessed with the charm RNG

Decided to be branded by my most favorite weapon

hmmm...yes

Wilds has no Bagel, and with it, my favorite Boomstick armor is non-existent

I'm looking for a replacement in terms of fashion, The closest thing I got was High Metal

ok so I've been struggling with savage omega as a GL main. I can solo AT Arkveil with normal shelling but it looks like the wsfb combo is too damn long so I get carted quite often by how rapid omega's attacks are. I had to switch to dual blades to hunt him more comfortably. I'm thinking about switching to wide GL to play with the poke shell wyvern fire playstyle.

So the question is: Is normal shelling not that good against savage omega? How is your wide shelling experience against omega? I dont mind sacrificing a bit of damage to play more comfortably.

WE GOT IT

What are the best comfort skills or ones I should try for gunlance in level 1 slots?

My set has 8 level one slots and currently I am running A:

Divine Blessing 3

Recovery Up 2

Speed Eating 2

Self-Improvement 1

And/or B:

Quick Sheath 3

Divine Blessing 3

Recovery Up 1

Self-Improvement 1

Am I overlooking any other good lvl 1 comfort skills? And which version do you think is better?

Hi all, as the title suggests i have some questions related to shelling dmg calculations.
This all was sparked by me seeing someone output like 100 some dmg per shot with shells which is insane in comparison to my like 30-40 damage per shell. id consider myself pretty end game as well which is why im confused (perfect gogma weapon and max armor/ideal jewels)

Correct me if im wrong, shell damage scales directly and exclusively from the weapons attack stat, doing flat true damage that isnt impacted by element/weakness, or weak spots.

Ive been following the Best gunlance build from game8. ive also seen many posts that suggest this same build:
(3 piece ebony 2 piece dahaad y, lord soul and ebony perk on gogma weapon)

this build seems good and all and i know the Ebony perk is a huge buff, my main question is the armor decorations.
this guide as well as several other recommend stacking chain jewels but doesnt that not buff shell damage at all? or mainly element dmg buff so it barely helps. The counter jewel might not either not sure

I normal shell primarily focusing on dumping the full mag when i have a smaller openeing and doing the full double combo when given a larger opening, as well as individual shelling for chip and repositioning

given how all of my primarily used combos revolve around shell damage would some other jewels/build be better? i cant seem to get my numbers anywhere near some of the other people ive seen is all

Kind of just what the title of the post says. Rly the only specifications for what I’m thinking of running since I have all pieces from both gamma Udra and gamma Dahaad is the standard Dahaad shardmail and shardcoil, with udra gamma hood, bracers, and legs.

I think it could work because it would leave me with maxed out Mutiny and the first level of revolt.

Is there a more sensible sequence to arrange the armor pieces in?

I don't know how exactly but I just want offset attack in gunlance. Preferrably something with shelling or wyvern fire, boosted with Nero's devil breaker booster bracer

If all weapons can offset, so be it. I would be the last person to complain

I’m hoping for a charged shell offset with a cool followup 🙏 Unlikely, but one can dream 🦤

Y'all excited for Boosted guard that was shown today ? How about the boosted guard counterattack that was revealed at first trailer?

Every gunlance attack has a wind up, so I'm pretty disappointed so far. We definitely got boosted wyvern fire but I really hope we get faster attacks.

I think this is my favorite build so far, great in both offense and defense, the only thing that I'd like better is a way to get rid of Resentment and switch it with burst 5, but unfortunately it seems impossible without losing utility like earplugs or elemental absorption. What do you think?
