All elemental weapons add to the base damage being dealt, its just you dont get any bonuses from it unless the its the monsters weakness.
Also, remember people: Raw Damage > Elemental is the grand scheme of things.

Correct me if im wrong, but poison and paralysis work like a meter correct? Each hit adds to a hidden amount and eventually when that monsters limit is reached, it gets poisoned or paralyzed?

Sweet, thanks.
Also, i have meet several douches online today. The starter of a Giant Baggi quest didnt join in until right before we killed him. It didnt help that the 4th guy didnt move from the starter area the whole time. After we killed it me and the other guy didnt bother to carve and just made sure the fucker couldnt get a carve in.
That same d-bag spammed "lay a trap" over and over again every fight to cap monsters and never brought any himself. God i wish i had a keyboard so i could have told him off.

Barroth can bite me. We went the full 50 minutes, hitting it on its weak points with 4 players and...still didn't kill it. WTF?
I was so hoping we'd have him at the end and have a hero of a story. Oh well, I learned how to charge the Great Sword with the Wiimote, so we can go at him again and hopefully cut his head off when he's sleeping next time.

well i only just got HR8 so its not too bad. anywya to be able to do lead the charge you need to be HR 8 and have done 'sunken treasures' 'help the hunter' 'playing with fire' 'the fisherman's tale' and then an urgent quest section will appear. we will have to have another crack at it

What weapon are you guys using? If you want to cut his crown off you should use blunt weapon damage.
Pit fall trap him, and have a hammer go all fucking out on his head and you should be good.
Also, bring water element weapons as it will make the mud armor fall off much much faster meaning you will do more damage faster.

So you ONLY get the damage bonus if the monster is weak to that element? Otherwise it has no effect?

No dude.
Elemental damage gets factored in to a hit regardless of whether its weak to it or not and makes a hit stronger. However, it does more damage if it the monster is weak to it.

Say a sword has 563 raw damage and 200 thunder damage. That elemental damage does not work the same way as the weapons raw attack power. When the damage is calculated after a hit it does only a percentage of that elemental score plus a bonus if the monster is weak to it. The Raw score gets divided by a number as well but is significantly less meaning it does more damage % wise than elemental.
Also, poison and para work differently than the other types. Dragon is special in that it is sometime required to break of parts from certain monsters.

Damage is calculated by using the strength of a weapon + elemental + (your stat bonuses and more) subtracted by the armor value for the monsters body part. (This chart is for slash/cut damage only). You want to hit it where you can maximize your damage obviously and this can be achieved more easily by breaking off its armor if possible like Lagiacrus's chest.
The benefit of elemental damage of course is that it avoids the armor value of a monsters body part but at the cost of doing less damage than a weapons basic raw score when its calculated in.
I hope i help somebody out there. I know its alot to take in.
Wow thanks to everyone I've played online these past couple days/nights. All those runs with R. Ludroth makes me so comfortable fighting him. Granted I still have to use a bunch of Mega Potions but I'm much better than what I was originally pre-online quests. I'm now almost done with my R. Ludroth armor set. I just need the coat thing.

Just a reminder, first journal hunt goes down Monday (tomorrow). I'm relocating to:
Recruiting / Wisdom 1 / Gate 40
I'll create an open city at 6:30 CST
Look for Khory.
I'll do one hunt then head off to write my notes, though I'll potentially head back on just for fun later.
This will basically be my pattern every other day until the journal ends. Hope to see you there!
Edit: Note on Wii-Speak
It will be part of my review so I'm hoping to put it through the paces, but it's no longer mandatory. Just be warned I have no keyboard so if you want to communicate textually with me please be patient. I am s l o w with the in game type pad and I do not have quick access to a computer where my Wii is located so that's out too.

Your current equipment vs Barroth may be too weak to outright kill it, but maybe you can weaken it enough to use a Shock Trap + Tranquilizer Bombs against it (don't use Pitfall Traps; they don't work against monsters that can dig).
EDIT: Also if you're going against Barroth, have everybody bring two Large Barrel Bombs and a small barrel bomb, and have somebody tranquilize it somehow. Then everybody place the large bombs around the body, then the small bomb (or just throw something at the large bombs) and that should help out a lot.
Safe to say I suck at trapping monsters. If Jaggi is only staying in the shock trap for 10 seconds or so, does that mean he's not weak enough? Or is that all the time you ever have to keep them in a trap?
On the bright side, I made sure to break his head before messing around with that, and got my first King's Frill! (after quitting via subquest)

Any tips for solo barroth? I just spent a ton of time fighting him only to blow it in the end of it all. He was about to die too.
I'm using Assassin's Dagger (SnS) and full Rhenoplos gear. That gives me immunity to being covered in mud, which came in handy. SnS is nice against him too because it's easier to maneuver around him when he runs so fast.

Doesn't matter if he is weak or not, they only don't stay caught in the shock trap for very long. Best way to tell if they are weak is if they are limping when they walk.
Ugh. Yeah, he was pretty beat up at the time. I got him in a trap (which is usually easy since by the time I get the trap set up he's either kicking my ass or very close to it) then by the time I can get reoriented and pick a tranq bomb, he's already loose.RapidCancel said:
Just took him down in Moga Woods (scouring for commodities) and I couldn't finish carving him before I was knocked out by a half dozen Jaggis, Giggis, and bugs. Stupid mating season.
That's what I thought. Until he'd flown to another quadrant just after I'd laid my trap TWO FRIGGIN' TIMES IN A ROW. Stupid bird. And then the third time the great jaggi he summoned tripped the trap instead. I learned to make/take several shock traps with me for that quest...EvilMario said:

Got pwned by Barroth, i guess my jaggi armor set doesnt cut it, he's hard with great sword too.
I just put together a lance to try out since I'm stuck with my current SnS for a while... I kinda like it. The slow walk is going to be the hardest thing to adjust to, and I'll have to figure out all the attacks. Having the slice attack is nice in addition to the poking. Of course while I was testing it out and digging for some more commodities, Jaggi showed up again and made quick work of me. Luckily I wasn't planning to save at that point anyway - not sure if I want to use two of my Jaggi Claws on the lance or save them for armor.
I didn't get to play as much as I wanted to this weekend, but I can't complain having gotten through all but one of the 2-star quests. I'm really enjoying this more than I thought I would. And I haven't even played it online yet, which was the impetus for the purchase.

See if you can upgrade to Royal Claw SnS. It has water element which destroys his mud armor like its nothing.

Man, I've been killing Great Jaggies left and right, my last even without healing or repowering up ONCE! :lol
Helps I now have all Lv 3 Jaggi Armour, from head to toe.

The new Rathlos is pretty anti-melee. Revenge mode for all of the plate farming I guess. Two deaths from me trying to slum it with a Switch-Axe and one death from a friend getting caught in that new psychotic fire attack for the first wipe of the game. :lol
Going back to bowgun, we dropped it effortlessly next time. Ho hum, I'll just stick to range. I want to experiment more with the gun parts but early on the deviation between them is kinda small. When I get on next though I'd like to try the combo of that Jaggi piece with the rapidfire and the Barroth barrel. Although the range on that thing is really going to mess with me at first.

I tried arena mode with my sister today and we killed the stupid barroth after 40 minutes... She's a gunner and I used the GS. Half the time was spent running around waiting for him to stop raging:lol GS is not ideal for that monster...
Oh, and Royal Ludroth was easy to kill! Poor chacha died but then came back I love him. And now I regret killing the RL because I still have other 3 star quests to complete and his monkey face will be in the area from now on *sigh*
