It also depends on the weapon and the status itself. Slower weapons typically aren't worth investing status due to how the buildup works, and are more worth investing elemental (or raw in some cases). From my own experiences, paralysis/sleep/blast seem to be the most used statuses because they either give constant immediate damage (Blast) or can give you a break in the middle of the fight which can lead to more potential damage and survivability (Sleep/Paralyze).
I just checked ingame, and the weekly bounties will expire in "1 day" while most of the event quests will end in ~20 hours. This makes me guess the actual end of the MHW week is still on Thursday/Friday like I thought it was, and this patch will simply drop a day earlier on Wednesday/Thursday which also marks the return to normal rotation for event quests.
I think anything that requires aiming, bow especially, is a lot better with a mouse, assuming you're decent enough with mouse aiming or not very good with pad aiming(I'm kinda shit at pad and good at mouse so for me it's a huge difference). The good thing is you can switch easily between both setups, just put down the pad and start playing with the keyboard, and for me at least I've only got one keyboard setup, for bow(guns I play with the pad). You can save keybinds setups per weapon though on keyboard+mouse(or there's a way to load them I forgot how it works but you can make different setups).
Yeah for everything else I just use the pad and it's fine since the aiming isn't really required to be super precise and it's adequate enough, and I don't even play bow much anyway(think I have like 10hunts with it) so I probably spent more time setting it up than actually using it.
I tried to come up with a title, but I honestly like this one too much to put in any real effort.
SSD... 53% copied. Sigh. We'll get there.
Not saying "Siege", so no, I doubt it.
I doubt it's that, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason to do both.
Well shit. I'm guessing superman diving doesn't work either?
Fuck, I'll join in like an hour so depending on how long it takes me to download the update.
You still need quite a few weapons that start in LR to get some of the best MR weapons, so there is some merit to grinding out some monsters so that you're ready to go down a particular tree for that weapon. Armor, though... yeah, it's not encouraging great play for newcomers as they use all those defensive options as a crutch, but at least the armor value caps out so that you have to throw it away pretty early on in Iceborne's assignments.
Oh god no. The Defender set is brain-dead and makes it so that you can faceroll all but the Arch Tempered elders and Ancient Leshen. Definitely play the game normally if you're not interested in all that Iceborne has to offer.
I have to wait for this download to finish copying (-_-) but I'll try and join.
Watching CantaPerMe92 stream, where he managed to solo with kjarr dual blades (dragon element). Hammer couldn't manage it, but dual blades could deal enough elemental damage to produce a hard knockdown that signifies a weaker one-shot that you can survive with astera jerkies.
If they can have all these crossovers they can throw me a bone
Yeah, that seems to pan out with the DPS check theory. I really don't know why World has thought those are so fun, especially on a monster like Alatreon that can go to the other side of the arena at warp speed.
