Anyway what kind of nutjob runs Coalescence on a SUPPORT BUILD? :/ #monsterhunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

"Here's my optimized meta Wide-Range build!"

I am begging you to please stop. If you are obsessing over your own DPS on a *support build* you are doing it wrong.

How much DPS should a support build do? Enough. It should do Enough.

GOTY contenders for 2025 so far:

Anyway Inspiration at least has some synergy with my setup, and Blindsider is a skill I've been wanting to add in for a while now. So, y'know, not a total loss. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

So you burn like FIVE WHOLE SKILL LEVELS for *a chance* to inflict SLIGHTLY MORE status damage on your way to an actual wound -- but only for the first part of the process!

What the fuck? #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

Also dropped Flayer because the way it works is intensely stupid.

Creating wounds acts like status effects -- each attack has a CHANCE to add an amount of damage to a hidden buildup bar, which, when full, results in a status taking effect. Or, in this case, a wound being created. Flayer adds a strict percentage to this, somewhere between 10-30%. BUT, only before any sign of the wound is apparent -- which is only like halfway to actual WOUND CREATION! #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

Okay. New setup, running Inspiration even though it does NOT affect allies, even though it did in Rise >_>

On the plus side, I now have room for Self-improvement, Blindsided, and an extra level of Evade Window. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming

Also Inspiration! Does it affect other players or only you? Who knows! Stat buffs *don't show up on the Palico Stat screen*! At all! You use a Wide-Range Might Seed and the cat flashes red *and their attack doesn't change!* So now I gotta pester someone to help me test this!

>:(

Also it appears Flayer doesn't activate *at all* in the training room, so now I have to go do live fire exercises with some goddamn Single Player Quematrice to figure out if it works at all. >_> #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming

Hhgh. Okay. So it turns out War Cry and Demon Powder share the same buff slot. In spite of War Cry being an armor skill and Demon Powder being an item. Sure, okay. Fine. I'll just revamp my whole goddamn build, why not. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming

Neat, High Rank Zoh Shia in the Title Update :D Armor and weapons look *seriously* anime. Arch Tempered Ray Dau coming in about a month, too, I hope he's not the only AT monster. They teased Lagiacrus for Summer, too, that'll be fun. :D #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter #Gaming
