So what would be an alternative against poison types like Raths and Giggis?

So what would be an alternative against poison types like Raths and Giggis?
Just knowing their moves so you don't get poisoned in the first place is always best. I just take antidotes to those fights but only really end up using a few at most. Rathian and Los' poisoning attacks are pretty obvious and easy enough to avoid. Giggi's a bit more annoying but not too bad really. Not enough for me to want a skill taking up precious slots to negate it.
Makes sense.

Thank you, sir.
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";55819016]I fucking hate, hate, hate underwater battles. They're not fun, they're not mechanically interesting, they're not challenging and they serve no gameplay benefit. All they do is slow the game to a crawl and make you hate the terrible camera even more than you did before. It's so hard to target specific body parts underwater, yet you're slowed down while the enemy monsters become more mobile.
I'm so glad they're out of the next game. One small improvement for such a mess of a series.[/QUOTE]
I don't think water battles are that bad; they diversify the gameplay and Plesioth can be fun when you get its pattern down. Yesterday, however, I was fighting Lagi in the Flooded forest and the tiny areas combined with all the vegetation made for a really frustrating experience. Then Plesi decided to show up and things got even more fun.
I got two Lagi mantles out of it, so I'm not complaining too much.

Cheers dude, that was pretty fun. Apologies for my shit gunning. I think half these people were randoms btw. Like, za warudo? Who the hell even calls themselves that? Why it doesn't even sound like a real person!
Haha, your gunning was awesome. Then again, I've never seen or played with a gunner, so what do i know
Well, then thanks to all of the randoms

You don't know how jealous I am right now
Yeah that might be why then!Haha, your gunning was awesome. Then again, I've never seen or played with a gunner, so what do i know
Hahaaha!
don't cry bro!

The thing is I don't even really need them, on the other hand I can't get Brach Pallium. The desire sensor is too cruel
Got one of those yesterday helping someone on their HR6 urgent. I don't need it.The thing is I don't even really need them, on the other hand I can't get Brach Pallium. The desire sensor is too cruel
Cacpcom! Bring on the RMAH already dammit!
lol no, please don't!
You know what? I don't need it either. It's not like I want to upgrade my weapon or anything.
Maybe there will be a RMAH in Monster Hunter Online (the Chinese game made with Cry Engine 3) but I think the main series is safe.
The HR7 volcano harvest tour is the best quest to farm for ores/ancient shards/charms, right?
that someone was me

Got most of the village stuff done.
My Moga forecasts have been awful though with mostly just Arzuros' and Qurupecos
Sometimes it's worth going in there anyways. Stuff can spawn after you clear what's in the forecast. I killed a Deviljho and Brachy this way.

Anyone up for a few runs at all?
Oh, I didn't know that. >_< Thanks.
Someone who wants to farm a few G rank brachys? I need dem palliums.
No worries man
I am!

A tip for maximized GAF hunting: Free C > Lobby 9 is where we usually make lobbies, so you'd probably get more GAFers there. Lots of us don't check here before we get on and go straight to the usual spot to look for GAF rooms.
Just heard it yesterday myself!

I'm sure Mileena won't mind...
Should I just go to Free C > Lobby 9 instead?

Ok so I just had the coolest fight in my life last night. The Stygian Zinogre is quite possibly the most awesome encounter in this game. I am now farming him for his gear. I love this fight. This game doesn't disappoint.

Is slime a normal element or a status effect? If it's an explosive it should be a status effect, right? Just wondering whether or not it's affected by affinity.
Why do you want Crit Eye for Dual Swords? Affinity doesn't affect elements.

Most would say that's for the worse, no need to change what is already perfect. Capcom seems to agree as well otherwise they wouldn't be removing underwater from MH4. It's the only thing holding MH3U back from being a 10/10 game imo
I still don't get it :/
I'll probably be on tonight. We'll see if I can get my employees situated so I'll have time

Slime is status. Enemies do build resistance to how fast you can get it to go off.
Does affect raw damage though. And given how fast DS attacks, that extra damage through affinity stacks up pretty significantly.

So I've managed to solo ALL quests through level 8 and all but a couple of 9 star quests and the
just opened up. I figure, eh, I've faced him before in a couple of quests when he's shown up and learned to respect his enraged mode but I've never actually killed him. I've made it through every single quest the first time I've tried it except the first time I faced Duramboros (I forgot to bring traps and just ran out of time whittling down his health) and the first time I faced Ceadeus. I've never carted three times in any quest and failed it.
Now, normally, I only ever bring the following to fights I expect to be tough:
10 pots
10 mega pots
10 honeys
energy drinks
painballs
dung bombs
tranqs, traps, and stuff to make new traps
whetstones
I travel light and I've never had to bring a bunch of miscellaenous stuff with me like drugged meat, flash bombs, etc.
So I figure, eh, this should be a tough fight, but I just built my Rath Soul set that I took out
EASILY with in the first try (that was a pushover fight) and I've got my Ancharius Sword which is about as good a GS as I can get at my rank but just in case I actually added a couple of Max Potions to the mix, figuring if I get carted then at least I can get up to max health again after a cart.
Can I just say
?!?!? What the HELL do I do against this guy? I haven't gotten slapped around that hard since MHFU days. Not only is his rage mode total BS but I have to keep my health topped off at all times in case he decides he wants to
.
Any suggestions for a GS user besides the obvious "don't let him hit you"? I mean - holy crap they take off the kid gloves with this guy and it totally took me by surprise. I even had my Shakala's setup for support and everything.
