I ran the skills through the Armor Set Search and found a different set-up that gets the same skills that I can make fairly easily, but its defense will be low. How important is defense for this fight? I imagine level 140 Shagaru Magala can OHKO even in the strongest gunner armor (he could almost OHKO me in maxed out blademaster armor, so half the defense seems like a OHKO no matter what).

I haven't played in months, there's so much DLC to catch up on!
And there should be more tomorrow... I haven't tried the DLC for the last 2 months.
If you're confident enough to not take any big hits, it's easy to just forego defense and go all-out on offense. The guy in the video only gets grazed a couple of times, as I recall. I'm not that confident. I prefer to mix in a blademaster helm on almost all of my gunner sets for a big boost in defense even if it makes it harder to get all the skills I want. That usually means doing an advanced Armor Set Search, toggling on some helms and sorting by max defense. There'll still be some OHKO attacks, but you shouldn't be in range of the worst ones like Shagaru's sweeping flame breath.

I've been getting better at dodging its attacks at close range, but I'm not too confident either. Still, better to try and see if I can get a sub-10 minute kill time rather than spend potentially days of farming it and taking 40 minutes each time.
Did the player in the video remove the limiter?

Gahhh... I'm going to tackle most of it this weekend (if Phantom Pain let's me) I'll put the call out here to see if anybody's on-board
Definitely. The Furia Sedition normally has 4 shot pierce lv. 2 clips and it jumps to 6 shots with the limiter off. And it's not as if there'd ever be a safe chance to use crouching-fire against Shagaru solo anyway, so might as well take the limiter off for the damage boost.

Thanks! I never use bowguns, so it's hard for me to tell.
You're in for some fun, I hope! The good news is that bowgun controls are really simple, but the bad news is that a level 140 Shagaru won't give much margin for error. I'd recommend practicing on "Heaven's Wheel", "Stop the Wheel" and "Wheel of Time" until you've gotten the hang of it.
Alternatively, here's an 11 minute run with the Seregios LBG instead. This hunter gets knocked around more often, but he's using a Heal-honed weapon to keep going without having to sheathe or heal. It's a novel approach that might be more friendly to newcomers.

OK. I already made a setup for the Seregios HBG (same skills as the HBG video, different armor combination) and started the HBG path, but I'll keep this in mind in case that doesn't work. What are the skills for the LBG?

Oh, and bonus shot. duh.
Okay, now that I've reminded myself....
Bonus Shot, Weakness Exploit/Ruthlessness, AuX/Challenger/Fleet Feet (AFAIK, AuX and Fleet Feet is best DPS since Challenger doesn't stack) are your core.

Judging from the YouTube description, he's got 通常弾UP which is Normal Up, 挑戦者＋2 which is Challenger +2, 攻撃大 which might be some flavor of Attack Up, and 無慈悲 which is Brutality. I can tell he doesn't have Rapid Fire or Load Up active. It's hard to get a good look at the set but I can see he's got a Kaiser Vest X and Esurient Z coat though.

With this gunner talk going on... I should finally get through some more of 10* so I can get sororal gear.
Can someone explain to me how to get the distorted fragments for artian gear? I need 6

Mine blue nodes on G expeditions or high level GQs.

hm alright. Guess I'll rush through some expeditions mining every node. that's probably faster than killing a G rank monster
If anyone is bored, I could go for some deviljho hunts.

Any good shots of the game running on New 3DS? Haven't seen much at all. Yeah I can check Miiverse, but they won't distinguish between 3DS and N3DS shots though.

Gaijin hunter's recent gameplay videos are on a N3DS
All of the screenshots on Miiverse are on the New 3DS since the old 3DS has Miiverse disabled while in-game.

Which in particular? I'm watching those livestream ones and they don't seem to have high-res textures like playing on a N3DS is supposed to show.
NormalFish

no textures in this game are "high res". They've got better filtering, but I don't believe the textures themselves are changed at all.

Maybe a G rank GQ would be better... having horrid luck. Anyone have a low G rank velocidrome or something?

So how do I go about getting Bloodied Ebonhides for Esurient Z if there isn't a G Rank Savage Jho? Is it JP exclusive?
G-Rank Savage Jho can appear on G-rank expeditions in SP. Might take forever to get all the parts that way though.
NormalFish
Banned
hm... farming expeditions for a random jho or farming jhos for a crook. decisions.
Well, the monster icon for Savage Jho will be there on the map before going on an expedition. So, you could just check the map in between other quests to see if it's there.

Still kind of a pain in the ass. Think I might just go Vangis X since I'm using the hat from that set anyhow. That leaves me with full rarity 9s but eh.
doing some jho in this room now. 2/4 slots

So I still haven't manage to find my 2ds, but while looking today, I have the Call to Cosplay video of Monster Hunter on my TV.

This has been bugging me ever since Freedom Unite. Is it just me, or are bowgun bullets actually rocket-propelled spikes? That's what they looked like to me in that game.
Pierce shot might be. That would explain why they do less damage at very close range and one needs to back up a little for critical distance.

Playing pretty awful tonight, my b.
On a positive note I've made the sexiest mix set ever.

Need to find me a better AuX charm, tbh. +11 and +10 are the best I've got, both with no slots. +14 3 slot would be godly.

I've got both Vangis X and Esurient Z, X having a charm with Fencing/Protection while Z has a Handicraft/Stamina setup so they both work pretty well. Savage Jho shows up randomly when the environment is set to unstable and he has a chance of being one of the, or the featured monster when the expedition is Rare so it's not too hard to find him if you check the expeditions often.
Well there ya go Fish, a Savage Jho... arena quest :x
Sounds like fun and frustration!

Something annoying (and present in 3U too) is how DLC quests don't get a tick when they've been completed, nor are they arranged in chronological order.
I've behind on all DLC since June (I think...?) but going through the quest lists I have no clue what I've done and haven't. Pretty silly.
At this rate it may be easier to just do all of them over again.
Has any DLC released with a guaranteed crown for Teostra?

STILL NO G RANK BLACK FATALIS?! How long are they going to make us wait?
An interesting mix! But no Shot Up skill? Ah, must be a slicing shot set since it assumes a two slot weapon - like the Vayu Sedition.
NormalFish
Banned
Yay
yeah, using vayu sedition with this set. My charm limits what I can do pretty significantly at the moment, but hopefully that will be remedied soon enough.
But seriously, it looks like a full set cosmetically. Bit skimpy for my tastes but still.
Finally, G-Rank Savage Deviljho. Took 'em long enough.
I just looked through the downloadable quests and there is one quest that seems to be G-Rank Black Fatalis.
It's strange that they haven't announced it in the video though.

Is there DLC for various levels or is a lot of it for later in the game/g rank? I just made it to Caravan 8 and haven't done any of it. I've also not done nearly enough of the palico stuff. I guess I should get on that as well?
Haven't really checked to see how spread out they are, but there's definitely a good amount of dlc quests for low/high rank.

What a relief. It's about time.
They mentioned White Fatty specifically at the end of last month's video. I'd chalk it up to Capcom just being weird.

Speaking of which, I just realized that the final upgrade of the Black Fatalis Insect Glaive was available as soon as White Fatalis came out because the only G Rank Fatalis materials it needs are 2 Fatalis Evil Eyes, which can be obtained from either Black or White Fatalis.
