Room 68-5563-4592-4107
no need im hr7 lol, ill be paralyzing with sword and shield
I also was thinking CB with para, but JimPanzer told me Artillery is "garbage" on it...
I've been getting DC'ed more often in the last few days. Glad to hear it's not completely uncommon.
I used HR Azure Rath armor until G2 at which point I farmed Seregios until I had his armor. He has an Caravan quest you can farm once you hit G2, which makes it easier to solo if you have trouble finding a group to grind.
I don't know how useful it is on a status CB but generally Artillery is a decent enough skill (it was buffed in 4G (and so was the shield buff which wasn't even in 4), so those calculations from 4 are outdated). You get a free 4 Artillery from the helm so it's only 3 gems to get Novice which ups your impact phial damage by x1.3 on top of the shield buff. The conflicting part is that with a status CB you'll be spending a lot of time in sword and shield mode spamming shield thrusts so you won't be getting much use out of that increased phial damage (though I guess shield thrusts also proc phials with the shield buff).

Yesterday I failed Dalamadur... three times, and because I ran out of time.
I manged to break everything and it even destroyed the other platform. But, I feel my damage output is way too low...
I'm using a Brimsten Drakescale (224, 350 Dragon) SnS, and I ate for Attack L and used Mega Demondrugs during the whole fight (I was never under the effect of it).
I watched the GaijinHunter tutorial (after the first time, as he says, nothing beats the "What the hell do I do?!" feeling) and managed to memorize its pattern, cut the tail, carve the head and all of that...

I see, thanks!
I think I'm at like 5 or 6 Dalamadur and I still don't know what I'm doing.
I think ME still gives you the reduced bounce damage so you'll still want Drive.
Mind's Eye doesn't work against Apex (afaik).

LBG users, is it worth Honing for Power if using the gun primarily for Elemental shots? Raw attack doesn't factor too much into its damage IIRC from 3U.
I actually didn't have any issues at all yesterday, nor for a bit.
Elemental damage is based on your raw damage, so it can be worth.
edit: it might not be better than the others, though.
I don't think it's worth it. LBG has a really low damage multiplier so you'd get something like +25 attack.
Compare that to +60 defense + divine blessing for defense honing.
was a bit off on that

basically it's worth it with your charm
I feel like defense honing is good if you aren't confident in evading? Seems like even with 60 defense everything is still a 1 or 2 shot for gunners, and it's more hoping for divine blessing procs.
Don't get hit.

The info from that post is outdated. Not only was that from before the weapon even had a shield buff but Artillery was also buffed for 4G/U. It went from 1.15/1.3/1.4 to 1.3/1.35/1.4. It also stacks with Felyne Bombardier up to a total of 1.4.

I have yet to find any risk-free openings where I can actually get a hit in with no chance of getting hit.

We need 2 more for gogmazios urgents.
Get tremor res if you don't already have it. Rajang has openings but without tremor res you won't be able to make use of a lot of them.
I don't get hit often but 60 defense could be the difference between a 1 shot or surviving with a sliver. I'll probably put it on my Najarala gun for now until I'm confident enough to switch to attack. I'm still wearing Lagombi X so maybe once I'm in something stronger I won't be encountering one-shots as often - still not sure how that happened against Seregios. I even had an armorskin + 25 defense from my gun. He doesn't have that many hard hitting moves.
I need to get a couple more large wyvern gems before I can do it anyways. Next order of business is getting a drive wystone...or maybe I'll work towards Narga X.
When he tosses rocks or dodge his thunder beam. After his Dempsey Roll, he likes to do his jump back so you could try to land a hit there. If you're a lancer you can counter his rushes.
I think the biggest thing is to not get affected by the ground shaking body slam because he moves into his next attack faster than you recover from tremor.
Aw, I wish I didn't have to go to sleep so I could do them with you. Work is non-optional though.
Beats was looking for Gog.
true, but coupled with kitchen defense buff you get twice the chance for divine blessing and even more defense. outside of sure OHKO attacks that would even 1 shot blademaster i could imagen that this might be the difference between a OHKO and a sliver of health left.
i honestly don't know but the minimal attack increase just seems hardly worth it to me.

i honestly don't know.
Is there math out there for defense? Without combat/battle logs it's really hard for me to grasp how big 60 defense boost is when it comes to damage. It's usually just pray for the sparkles of Defender/divine blessing proc and live!
I think if you're going defense kitchen skills too then surviving is your #1 priority and the defense hone is the no-brainer pick?
I'm hoping as they try and expand the series in the west they start tweaking monsters with openings for attacks. Way too many monsters have attacks that have them jump back to a safe position, block punishes, lock on, it wouldn't be bad if the programming didn't allow them to spam the same damn move 5 times in a row.

Guard 1 will let you survive through most, if not all of monster's attack with no health loss.
Guard 2 will make you survive through anything, even the death lasers.
But guarding is only useful with the mega dash juice.

How do I get Veggie Elder tickets, the ones you can trade for plates?
I think Furious Rajang has a good amount of openings, having done it solo as a lancer and a bowman. The punish is definitely there but I adjusted by reducing pokes, giving up the power shot, or going into counter.
Oh yeah, he has pretty lengthy recovery after his Sonic ball jump attack once he lands so you can sheathe and be ready to draw attack to his landing spot.
Some days I feel like 5 piece of gunner armor is equivalent to no armor lol.
