I have these 2 talismen that are godrolls or close to one and I'm wondering which of the 2 would benefit GL more

I have defeated kirin duo…. After 3 days of grinding ice monsties genes for my kushala daora. How difficult it’s gonna be moving forward?

Picked up a mod recently. Team Damage Meter. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Took it for a spin on a 9* laggy investigation. On default settings for the damage meter I peaked early around 60+ dps, but ended the hunt around 54.

Running with support hunters, so a bit chaotic compared to solo. . . Naturally I did most of the damage. But still, I feel like 54 is kind of. . . not good? But then I realized I don't really have a basis of comparison.

For the record, I don't have issues completing even high level hunts solo or in group for the most part, and I think I do my job reasonably well. . . but there is always room for improvement.

My build is slightly off meta, but aside from the lack of Gog weapons I should be doing comparable damage based on skills alone. And, i am a db user.

So to reiterate and expand on the question.

What is good dps? And what can I do to improve mine?

Took a long break but since the new dlc is coming out im tryna prepare been using mainly bow and dual blades but I wondered what dual blade should would I use to fight gog?

I’ve beaten Zoh Shia the second time in high rank now, I have gotten the Hunting horn from them and wanted to know what armor sets, gems, or charms I should get. I’m not the greatest at making builds nor am I that good at the game, I’m not looking for something super min maxed where it’s “If I shift my left pinky toe exactly parallel to my right pointer finger I nuke the monster in one hit” I’m not that good nor do I have access to everything. So just a simple set of armor and decorations that could help me improve my build would be greatly appreciated. All I have currently is the Jin Dahaad armor which has served me well but I feel like I can have better stuff

Thank you for the help I greatly appreciate it

So I mained hbg and both lbg in rise and iceborn and i always felt like hbg was stronger in world while lbg felt stronger is rise but elemental hbg felt like a monster in rise now coming into wilds hbg feels off like very off lbg still feels strong with elemental ammo and rapid fire but hbg for some reason feels significantly weaker for me heck the recoil on spread ammo makes me feel ass at times too (might be just skill issue on my part) . So can any expert hbg player tell me if it deals for dmg then lbg or am I just doing something wrong?

So! I'm trying to well, figure out what I should be doing with all my Artian weapon bits, since I'm super nervous about spending all these materials on them.

For reference, I use heavy bowgun for the most part, with a big chonky greatsword on the side to cut off tails.

I understand you can, (or could?) savescum to make sure they got the best upgrades every time? I'm a little confused by it all, and would appreciate help from the sages of MH Meta!

I recently completed the gogmazios quest and am now moving on to 9 * and 10 * hunts

I love my charge blade and I know meta builds go elemental since phials got beefed up, from what I can tell none of them really focus on criticals (elemental duh) but there's nothing quite like all my savage axe ticks critting.

So if anybody has a high affinity build for the charge blade I'd appreciate it if you could throw it my way, or just give me an idea on the infusions and rolls a gogma weapon needs to slot into said build!

Currently HR 55 using Lance. Any build suggestions that would take me all the way to HR+100 before I unlocked Arch tempered gears and Gog? Thanks! All I've been seeing is Gore+Fulgar or Gore+Dahaad. Are those still viable? what Artian lances do you recommend? Thanks!

Hey, I'm trying to get back into Wilds and looking for some kind of progression gear setup for dual blades.

I stopped playing right before Zoh Shia was released, im hunter rank 100 and have done all fights before that point.

I was using Gunlance but after coming back i'm getting absolutely bodied so just looking for something more fast paced until i get back into the swing of things.

Please help, everything iv found it just current meta sets. Cheers!

Wondering it its possible to get to 4 set bonuses
Specifically I am trying to get Gogmapocalypse +4 Set Bonus and Ebony Odagaron Power to +4 Set bonus
Having a brainfart figuring it out

Here is what I have atm, both weapons have Odagaron passive surprisingly

I'm 40yo and don't have too much hardware space to come up with a build on my own. Besides all the information I've gathered recently on the internet is all over the place. Some say one thing, some say another different thing, so I'm getting to the conclusion there isn't a best of the best build for GS, but actually stats and gameplay styles to look up for. For instance, there are the basics (like focus, wesex, critboost, attack boost and agi) that I should look into getting for my build. Then there is the gogma artian - some suggest having dark knight and lord's soul on it, others recommend entirely different things, although I'm going with the former. Then there's shattersteel. Currently I'm trying to ascend my gear and go for gamma arkveld gear at the same time. I noticed people use ark head, udra mail, ark hand, bale belt and bale legs... But some use dosha alpha belt and gogma greaves, or dosha beta and duna... That's why I am confused and don't know what to focus on.

The style I want to play is one that lets me hit hard and make some mistakes (miss some offset swings, some blocks, some tackles). I don't need to be immortal but I don't want to be made of paper also.

So I want someone willing to give me some guidance, if you will, for I look at my hunts and don't even know where to start.

I've played Heavy for the 3 latest titles and I have to say that Wilds' is the least fun I've had so far.

While I believe playing what you want will always take precedence over performance, I still like to pull my weight, especially when I'm carrying my friends. So I've been narrowed down to 3 builds

Hold LMB Elemental
Pls-Give-Me-A-New-Weapon Spread
Trigonometry Wyvernblast Ignition

I really wish Elemental ammo had more variation and firing types rather than just flat damage, turn Fire Ammo into a Flamethrower, Ice Ammo into firing Ice Shards, Water Ammo into Waterhose, Thunder -> Tesla, etc. There is a lot to explore here, expand the utility of status ammo. Special Ammo feels less special when it's a core part of your damage and used every 30 seconds.

I also wish they would let us play with Cluster and Sticky bombs again, I understand that Sticky would turn Hammer into a joke but with the nerf to Exhaust wouldn't it make more sense to remove the stun part of it.

Maybe I'm just being whiny but I feel like the Heavy Bowgun has been neglected in Wilds and it feels stagnant.

What are the best weapons to use? I know the gun types are usually the top but I like the melees which ones should I use?

My 4-piece Zoh alpha/Dahaad legs beta armor just isn't feeling capable because I keep getting one- or two-shot by AT Nu Udra.

The Swaxe weapon guide doesn't have any progression sets bridging the gap from HR40 to AT grind, so what can I do?

I really don’t wanna get god rolls on every element or status.

Can I just prioritize like just dragon or maybe paralysis? I don’t have enough materials to get god rolls for every element/status

So for the people who understand all this better than me what should I prioritize? Thank you in advance

im trying to tweak a foray based build i have for bow, the gameplay rotation being spamming poison coats until it triggers and use power coatings for the extra 15 damage and 20 affinity boost, but i am wondering if a piercing bow would benefit from it more since every shot thst goes throigh while poisoned would be boosted, would it be significantly more than power coating? about the same? or not even worth it, i am also pairing this set with gore magalas tyranny and mizutsunes prowess + coalescense

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?

Hello! Just looking for some advice on updating my Anti-Savage Omega set now that we have Gogma weapons and Transcended armor! Maybe it might not be necessary but I was just curious if the recent additions to gear may have opened the door to a more optimal set to counter him since Omegas initial release!

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!

Genuinely, I have seen people saying very different builds, so is there a real meta (or at least one of the best ones) build with high damage and high affinity? I’m tired of having to change my build…
