Yep, I really dislike MH matchmaking system; It's very archaic and clunky. Dauntless has them beaten badly in this department.
Post #259 should give you a good clue. I'd stick with PC if I were you.
The warpike is pretty fast
This is a build calculator, click on the weapon type and gear type to see the different gear and weapon list and how they differ. This is probably the best way to see the variety and how they add up in a build you want to craft.
I mainly stuck with the repeaters, and last night I dipped my toe into the hammer which got me some new boxes. I guess with this info I'll level all of them. Thanks.
In short, a hammer is a hammer, what make them different is the perk they have naturally, the perk socket types that you will be able to add to them, and the element they have (neutral, ice <> fire, nature <> electricity for example). Also weapons and armors can have unique properties (Storm Hammer: Reloads 3 ammo after dodging through an attack).
Interesting. I was just looking through the basic stuff and it sounds pretty varied in terms how you mod the weapons etc. Probably go Ostian Repeaters, since I normally run ranged weapons in MH.
The repeaters can buff the party with it's gun attachment abilities like "Captain's Grip": Launches a collectible buff a short distance, granting 20% attack speed for 15 seconds when collected. This buff is something you throw out, and if you pick it up or throw it on a party member you all receive the buff, so you're like a speed bard. There are more party buffs like this that a repeater can use, as well as some for other people (party shield buff, fire resist + attack speed buffs aka: Molten perk).
Sounds pretty cool to be honest. I like a good support class.
Yeah, that happens to me too, if you don't press ready quickly and wait a few seconds you'll see the numbers go up, I hope it's just a visual bug.
