Gonna run through the early game of MHW with my wife. Been only using Switchaxe for my first 120 hours or so here, and I think this is a good time to try something new. What would y’all recommend for a switch axe guy? I was thinking this time maybe something fast and can guard? Like the opposite of switch axe? I’m not sure where to go tho.
Sword and Shield would be my answer if you want something fast and the ability to guard. But IG or DB could also be a good option.
If you REALLY want to do something different: Bow.
How come the bow as opposed to the other ranged weapons?
Bow because it’s (Depending on ones opinion) the most mobile and speedy of the ranged weapons.
Yeah I think I’m gonna go with bow based on these suggestions.
THANKS!
lBG and HBG are pretty simple to use. Bow on the other hand is incredibly intense. Specially spread bows are super short range and you are constantly dancing next to the monster using your dodge i-frames to pump ungodly amounts of dps. Seriously a great bow player can keep something stupid like 500 dps with zero downtime.
I don’t know what dodge I-frames means lol
Bow has a switch skill called dodge bolt, while you are aiming if you press the roll/dodge button your hunter will do a short side step. During that animation there is a window where you are invulnerable to damage. So right as a monster attack you basically dodge through the attack and continue shooting. Mind you it is a strict “parry” timing.
Not in world though. I missed that from the op too.
Probably because if you’ve ever played a 3rd person shooter in your life, you’ve played LBG/HBG. Bow is next level, especially in RiseBreak.
The last one I got really into was Star Wars battlefront 2. So like almost 20 years ago lol
But I loved it so I’m gonna try that one next. Sounds sweet.
