Speaking of Wyvern Fire knockback, what's the etiquette on using that online? Not so easy to wait for a perfect opening now that the heat gauge exists.
Speaking of Wyvern Fire knockback, what's the etiquette on using that online? Not so easy to wait for a perfect opening now that the heat gauge exists.
I'm always happy to get accidentally hit by the Wyvern Fire knockback. It's one of the most hilarious things in the game. I don't think you'll find many PAers who are so tryhard that they are concerned with a little bit of ADVENTURE! to spice up their hunts.
I just make sure I get Orange extract with Insect Glaive. That prevents knockdown from about half the weapons. The other half (Lance charge, Wyvern Fire, Hammer pound, HH Superpound, upswings) aren't something you can really do anything about regardless of what weapon you are using, and the upswings now don't leave you helpless (free Aerial attacks!).
In general, I look for a location someone isn't already stabbing and stab at that location with all weapons. You get higher DPS if everyone is hitting the monster, even if you are hitting a sub-optimal hitzone. I hate when everyone gathers at one armpit and only one person is dealing damage because the other three are being tripped.
As someone who probably does more than his fair share of tripping (whirling death doesn't aim very well, regrettably) this is one of the hidden bonuses to Aerial mode: attacking on a different plane.
It's particularly annoying when I get interrupted in the middle of a recital or encore. I didn't just get launched, the person doing it actively debuffed the entire party.
As far as I can tell, Hunting Horns are fairly friendly towards other players as long as they're careful about superpounds. I'd like other weapons to at least try to extend the same courtesy.

Yeah as a GS user
im like
is tail cut? is x broken?
aim there
good punish on head? unsheath draw on it
i guess charging also has alot of super armor vs every other wep, but i never really get salty about where other people are
HH should generally aim head just as much as hammer
I just unlocked 2* quests last night, Generations is my first MH game and while I feel like I am surely doing things wrong I'm also having fun running around with a pair of psychopathic cats.
Speaking of weapons. I spent all weekend repeatedly soloing glavenus with every weapon in different styles to see which I liked. He's weird and jumpy enough with big hit boxes but reasonable tells that he seems like a good sparring partner.
I learned there are weapons I still just don't like no matter how much I want to (LS and GL) others that could be alright but I didn't actually have fun with (CB and SnS) or more surprising one I didn't think I'd like because I started off hating everything else about it but...
Damn son, aerial IG? yeah. That's my jam. Guild, striker and adept felt not great but the forward flip in aerial is all kinds of my jam.

If someone gets knocked back by a Wyvern Fire they picked a weird place to be standing given the conspicuous charging noise and animation.
I only feel bad about regular shell knockbacks anymore. And usually not those.

Aerial IG is just so much fun, it's pretty much the only thing I run anymore. I actually just ordered one of those psp nubs because aiming the kinsect is such a pain sometimes, especially trying to get all three buffs on smaller monsters.
Needed HR Mizutsune claws so joined a random room that was HR7+. Didn't realize they were doing *hyper* Mizutsune. One of the full body swipes = 90% health gone, so obviously I did end up carting once during the fight. Left after that to finally make my first HR armor (was still using Bukubujabu). 50% more defense so I'd still probably die in 2 hits though.
On the other hand, did upgrade my SA *and* had the unexpected bonus of getting the Hyper Hunter II item to make Deathprize for my SnS.

IG is particularly good against Glavenus. It's difficult NOT to hit him with aerial attacks with the IG, since he swings around so much and the IG has one of the largest hitboxes while in the air. Glavenus would be a lot harder, though, if he actually did some chip damage with his legs.

On smaller monsters, just grab Red and hit them repeatedly. None of them have high enough HP to really warrant trying to collect all of the extracts.

Of course you can't be trusted with it.
Doesn't mean I won't hep you as I am one of the people who just wants to watch the world burn.
I mean, we can reliably assume that it's fRAWRst or CorporateLogo I'll hit with it, or maybe Cromarty, given trends in who I end up hunting with!
In all seriousness, though: when they redesign you guys' favorite weapon so you have to spam friendly-knockback attacks just to get it to work properly, get back to me with your new feelings on the subject of friendly fire. I don't know how closely you've been watching what I actually do hunt to hunt but it affected my approach quite a bit.
Thankfully they gave me Blast Dash and an even-bigger explosion to compensate, or I'd mind a lot more.
I still want a guard reload, though.

I was within like .2 seconds of knocking you out of a lance charge at one point last night and I restrained myself! I've also passed on knocking various other people out of big hits more often than I can count; those are the stray shots I actually feel bad about now, because I probably cost the hunt overall damage at that point.
It's spotting those and doing, like, F+X, XX, XA, X and then not Full Burst that has occupied a lot of my attention, along with learning to use F+B as my gap closer where appropriate just to get the heat. Doing way more R+X, B combos than I used to as well, at least on things that aren't Deviljho or Glavenus-height, where it's my go-to.
I'm still not 100% sure but I think Capcom probably forced me to get better at Gunlance overall - or at least use a wider variety of the available combos - via the redesign.
I just love running really fast at monsters and then poking my lance deep into their hearts for massive damage.
I am thinking of moving more towards a striker build. I am just not learning the timings on the adept block correctly and if I spend a whole fight and only get 1-2 counters it's a waste when I could have the sweet sweet super charge instead.

Are you using that 7-8 hit stretchostab art at all? Because that looked like it was the way and truth for elemental or status application via lance.

Currently I am using Antivirus and Frenzy Body for 90% affinity boosts.
edit: I know Antivirus only gives 30% but I also have crit eye +3 and am using the Narga lance. Thus 90% when Frenzy is cured.
edit 2: I'll probably just run Toka armor with Antivirus until I can get mixes going because I am totally digging the frenzy body/antivirus synergy. Even if it's not the most powerful thing in the world it's still cool to infect yourself with a damn virus just so you can boost your power level.

Man. Solo Villager quests make me confront the reality that I just can't bowhunt solo.
I got triple-gibbed by Zamtrios during the Barrage of Blue quest, after handily wasting Arzuros and Malfestio.
I'm not sure if it was a combination of me being only just okay with the bow, the bow I was using not being that great (femine haze), or three monsters burning through all my coatings but...ugh
On the other hand, I need to figure out how to use Athena's thing, because I've got Mosgharl Pants and a +5 Fastcharge charm...which means that I can just use every other gear space for other armor pieces, and I want to know what I should use.
Kinda want to hunt a HR seregios to try and get some Dead Eye going.
I feel kind of....bad that I don't like IG as much this gen. I think I really just loved the ability to do aerial attacks, and now that Aerial Dual Blades exists, I'm not very drawn to the glaive.
Plus, IG's hunter arts are....not that exciting....or at least none are as exciting as Wolf's Maw with Critical Eye +3.
Speaking of, I still need to learn how to farm Silverwind at some point.

Who wants to carry me towards being a rad ninja?
Swarm is REALLY good. I use Swarm and Bug Blow, so when the Swarm is running out, I can unleash it in one big final hit (Guild style, obviously). The only way this combo would be better is if Bug Blow was uninterruptible.
I really like aerial duals. I just always get the urge to branch out.
Adept hammer is really good but it's... Actually not any different than how I always played.
Aerial anything is really just the most fun.
As demonstrated last night on a couple of hunts I should really consider switching to Adept mode against certain monsters, mostly Khezu and Lagi since I always seem to be in mid-air when they fire off their zap fields. One time it was a hyper zap from Lagi too... ouch.

Bug Blow looks cool, but as a single hunter art (i.e. no swarm, aerial style), it's unimpressive in a lot of ways.
