Oh, forgot to mention, I find the underwater bits terrifying ;_; I think Emerald Weapon from FFVII scarred me for life, whenever I go underwater I'm constantly on edge.

SUCK IT EVENTACRUS
SUCK IT HARD
Finally did it with some randoms who had the patience and caution necessary to survive this battle. First comment afterwards:
We laughed and laughed until we realised it was the same for all of us.
;_;
The great thing about Monster Hunter's weapon balance is that every weapon is viable, it's all down to preferences and weapons that are better suited to a specific playstyle. If you think the Longsword is too unwieldy, the SNS and Dual Blades might be good, they're the fastest weapons in terms of mobility.
But definitely try out other weapons as well, at least give them a shot for a quest or two - maybe you'll like a defensive weapon like the Lance or Gunlance even more, or enjoy the satisfying feeling of nailing a charged Hammer or Greatsword attack. You never know until you try!
Think of the weapons as the "classes" of this game - depending on the weapon you wield, your playstyle and approach will change wildly.

Thumbs up, you're doing everything right. Defeating the Arzuros and Great Jaggi is just your first step into the world of monster hunting.

So i made the barioth g set and its matching DS and sns, only to realize i have no clue what to gem it for. So far all I've thought to do was get ice+2 and evade+2 and cancel out the minus stamp. Suggestions?

For DS and SnS, I'm all about one of Razor Sharp or Speed Sharpening (or both!).

Seems like crit draw and protection would be a good choice, but HG Earplugs works with everything.

Man I got a new dance from Argosy and set both my Shalashashkas to the double healing combo. I haven't used a single item since I got it :-o
Also, I'd gladly give up the DS rapid slashes if I could use Demon Dash without charging up Demon mode. I've been using DS with Evasion+1 and it's so good. I only ever get tagged when I do the slashes and the monster recovers faster than I was expecting.
Think so.

Can even do it with Evasion +1

You just wanna beat up on lower rank monsters with G-rank gear in an arena setting, don't you

Some roars last longer than others. I know I've dodged through most roars with Evasion +1, but are you sure you can do all of them?
If you time it right, yeah.
Though there's like one or two you can't roll through like Dire Miralis just because it lasts so long.
Karsticles
Member
It's a good idea to emergency dive through it if you can't roll, because you'll still recover earlier and have more control over your character. Sometimes you can even get a hit in.
Sort of. Kind of.
I suppose I like the challenge of fighting two monsters at once and not being able to dung bomb your way out of it.

The only problem with two-monster fights is it makes certain armor skills mandatory, like HGE.Sort of. Kind of.

35 Earth Crystals in 20 minutes at the G Rank Deserted Isle Harvest Tour (Area 4). Just ran laps around the cave and the nodes kept respawning. Not too bad, I think. Could've gotten more if I had Iron Pickaxes, but just brought 5 Megas.

Hits so hard.Ugh, this Ivory Lagiacrus is harder than Alatreon.
You played a beautiful support hunting horn, though. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ
I kinda want to make that one as well now. Health Recovery (M) and (L)? Very useful.MagicWithEarvin

In one mining run:
That was cheese! I can probably fully upgrade the rest of the Worn weapons that I have (already have the Hammer, HH, LBG and now the GL) with a few more runs.

The Damascus X armor is pretty good for... something, but I don't know what yet. Whatever it is, you'll be wanting a Lightning weapon for it.
So far, the Active Skills I have are
Thunder Atk+1
Punishing Draw
Speed Sharpening
Sharpness+1
Blunt Edge (I can't get rid of it :[)
I'm trying my hardest to get a weapon with two slots so I can gem in the last two points needed for Crit Draw, but I don't have many options.
Anyway, I only made the Damascus X armor because it's really pretty. *.*
Alsoooooo, the low rank Zinogre set is aesthetically perfect with the Zinogre X waist. Everything is finally right with the world.

Okay, is there any rhyme or reason to when the little masked assholes use their abilities? Because currently it seems to be "any time I don't need it".
Health near maximum? Health boost! Almost dead? No health boost!

In my experience, they first do some buffs. Then they heal you provided they have enough stamina and aren't raged.
The problem is that they can't stop the song they're doing. If you take a bunch of damage and hear the tippity-tap of Shakalaka toes, they're going to try to heal you whether or not you waste that Mega Potion.

I've managed to get over a lot of this game's more infuriating aspects, and even embrace some of them. But there's still one thing that makes me scream "bullshit!" every time it happens, and its the difference in the way it treats player and monster hit boxes. If my hammer swing is even an inch to the left of the monster's model, well, of course it doesn't hit. But if a monster charges at me and very clearly misses me by a good foor or so I still get knocked down for like three seconds.

I still fucking hate the fact that monsters can be outside of the zone borders/knock me out of the area.
But game's good otherwise.
I think I've finally made enough sacrifices to appease the Random Number Gods.
Needed ElderDragonBloods to finish my Eternal Glyph, so I killed two or three Jhens. Four Earth Dragon Gems. Don't even know what to do with them.
And I got that Lagia Sapphire I needed when I was trying for Lagia Horn+.
Think of it as breaktime. You got knocked into a different area, so heal and sharpen before you go back on your way.

It sucks when I'm already sufficiently healed and sharpened.
Anyways, we ought to play together again sometime.
Sure. But I'll be 15-30 minutes. If you're still on and don't mind my being HR3 you can throw up a room.

One run at Jhen and I can already tell getting 5 Earth Dragongems is going to be miserable
