Bingo.
Can't really play when at the office now can I? ;D
Yeah, each armor piece only gives a few points per skill, and the full set usually gives enough to activate all though skills. Sometimes it's better to combine different set pieces to get good skill combinations, but that's an endgame thing.
A full set of armor is often the best way to activate skills, so it never hurts.
I know that feeling. But although you're almost certain to run into Qurupeco & friends again, I bet it'll go a lot easier next time because you'll know his moves better. Eventually you'll get to the point where he's no trouble at all.
Long sword and bowguns, lol. The new weapons are fun, but I'm relying on the old faithfuls to make progress, I'm behind all the cool kids!! It's nice to see this thread being back to being (semi-) active. Is that the e-shop deal?
I got through a lot of high rank in Volvidon armor, which is pretty easy to farm too.
That's why I'm here.
If you can do jhen, his set is godly for GS. Rocksteady, focus, fencing, think I have crit draw as well, unsure if jeweled in or vanilla... H jhen is nice too, w/ sharpness +1, but regular jhen is just so awesome.
The skills get worse as it goes up. Low rank Volvidon is Normal Up, Evasion +1, Attack Up (S) which is good stuff. Volvidon S is Attack Up (M), Evasion +1 and Tremor Resistance which is also pretty good. But Volvidon X is Evasion +1, Tremor Resistance and Bio Master?! Losing those attack skills in favor of immunity to monster farts and 100% dung bomb effectiveness is a bizarre tradeoff.
Biomaster is also good against slime, which is somewhat convenient for Brachy if you're using a weapon that doesn't let you roll. There's only one slime monster and two fart monsters, I guess.
lol i'll try checking the thread more often, i didn't realize you had announced anything.
Ah, I see. Oh well, the HR version is nice at least.
Hmm.. but I really, really like Sharpness+1. And Jhen will be a pain to farm.. but to have all those skills and a bunch of slots on top of it... maaaannnnnn. I'll think about it.
Um, I imagine he will be playing other games outside of MH which don't support the CPP and I don't see why anyone would want to keep defective hardware.
Depends what bowgun you're using. For LBG, rapid fire is obviously pretty good. Then status for a status gun (like kettleblower), bomb boost for crag guns (like rusted/ancient or los LBG), and element boost for element guns (fire for los, thunder for lagi, etc). Pierce up for pierce HBGs (blos or narga). I mean, it's just stating the obvious, but each gun has a pretty strong identity, and you're best served by sticking with it and having the corresponding kills.
Welcome here, enjoy your stay (and the game)!
You're probably right. Great Jaggi was a pushover the second time I fought him since I could guard and counter every one of his attacks.
Cool, I didn't know the circle pad pro added new shoulder buttons. Does it reduce stress on the actual shoulder buttons? (as far as I can tell, mine broke due to pressing it too hard too much)
You still have to use the system's L button, but the R, ZL and ZR buttons are all on the Circle Pad (separate from the system). In the case of Monster Hunter, you can set it so that ZL and ZR do the same thing as L and R, so you won't be wearing them out with that.
Fade slash, fade slash, fade slash, fade slash, fade slash everywhere. Try to force yourself to use it as much as humanly possible, even when you have time to do an overhead slash and dodge. At some point it will all come together.
Fun fact: monhun 4 added a follow up slash to the fade slash, branching into either another fade slash, or spirit combo.
That definitely seems helpful when I imagine it, but I guess I'll see. Honestly my mind doesn't really mesh with the fade slash too well, it requires a ton of concentration out of me. It's so tiring that I'm barely using the LS these days.
It's the A+X attack, where you do a slash and fade back, left or right depending on where you press. It can combo off any other slash, even in the middle of the spirit combo (<- important).
LS users tend to get a bad rap. When you learn the weapon in SP, you tend to do a lot of attacks that swipe through a large area (like the fade slash). Online, you want to be a little more careful or you'll keep hitting and interrupting your teamates.Not everyone makes the adjustment. Conversely, many non-LS users like to hate on all LS users, regardless of how they do play online. It kinda got to be the cool thing to do.
It's pretty neat, you can use the fade to dodge a hit, then the follow up propels you forward a bit. It also helps keeping a better offensive flow, instead of always just rolling out of your fade slash.
and Jho's armor is ridiculously useful too, what the hell! I don't wanna farm those two!!
