The BEST GUNLANCE META BUILDS! RAW AND ELEMENTAL! Dancing In The Tempest! l Monster Hunter Now 

Can you compare it to other weapons in terms of DPS and can you compare the best and worse GL weapons?

Hi King, i totally get your point but could the argument for 9.1 or 10.1 bone still have some merit? As a way to farm more esaly 9 stars monsters and then work to a better weapon? 40 wgs are sure a steep investmet but i can see the merit on not having to rely on any monster specific part for your "placeholder" weapon while slolwly building a better monster specific one that would then go up to 10.5. I am thinking of switching from elemental SNS to RAW (bone) gunlance because farming all the t2 materials has become a real pain. It for sure mean thowing away some weapon refinment parts and zenny but it could allow me to advance faster from 7/8 stars (i currently manage to do all 7* and only the "easy" 8* monsters) to doing probably all 8 stars and some 9 stars and getting to a 9.1 bone lance could be more easy, and would require mostly just the basarios farm for the artillery. I am planning on switching later to insect glaive if it will release as fun as it was in world, so would prefer to save specific monster parts for that.

It has zero merit at G7.5 yeah keep it and use it. But anything past that NOOO. To put it in perspective to even get 40 WGS is a huge block unless your REALLY lucky and your not doubling them. By the time you get 40 WGS you'll likely have enough monster parts from the specific monster you need. and its not as cheap as you think. A 10.1 bone gunlance STILL REQUIRES Rarity 3 Bone+ and 245,000 ZENNY TOTAL. Yeah you don't have to go after monster parts. But the Materials aren't as much of a walk in the park as it says it is. As someone that spent 4 months purposely blocking themselves at 8 stars to experience the hell it takes from Grade 8 to Grade 10.5 do you really want to spend weeks of effort for something thats going to fall off hard later on? NOPE.

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS thanks for the clarificstions! Always helpful

You are comparing Bone GL, a Long type GL, with Pink Rathian GL, a Normal type GL, and i cant agree with it. The playstyle of 2 type is kind of difference. Imo, if in Long type catalogue, Azure Rathalos is the best in Raw dmg, also have abit elemental dmg for wyrmstake shot, even though play Long type barely use. Or rather play 4Artillery with Long type still better than. Pink Rathian is good, but not best of Normal type imo.

AYO a friend told me about this yesterday thats coming next video!

If the monster doesn't move 🤣🤣🤣

You can apply that logic to every monster. Get gud lol.

Glad your having fun! Its so pretty too!

Glad it helps!!

Appreciate you!

Daora GL is solid if you really want to invest into it!

Jho's isn't the best actually. Pink Rathian is. It has same argument for the Pink Rathian LS, but its even better because of the way Wyrmstake shot works. Shot type doesnt beat out poison proc damage.

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS I see I see, good to know. My playstyle is only shelling, jho's long type GL with art 1 is ideal for that. That's why I said it. lol.

with G8 jho, + sneak atk 1 and art 4, I can deal almost 2100 dmg from the sides with one charged shell. it's pretty powerful, ngl.

I have been liking Girros for paralysis buildup to force openings for several stakes/bursts, but I am also not that far along in terms of gear progression. My best weapon is a G7-2 Pukei bow, and I only have a handful of armor past G6.

Does Focus work for gunlance? The charge feels the same at every level, unless the difference is too small to notice.

It is! Cant wait for Artillery 5! But the Royal Burst...such a good name and ITS SO PRETTY!

Appreciate you!

Oh sorry about that the graphic is wrong lol. The basarios mail at Grade 6 will give you the 3rd point of artillery.

YESSSS MY BOI LAGUNA LOIRE!!

Dragon Wyrmstake for sure. One Wyrmstake will do way more damage overall than multiple charged shots. Especially since Charged shots don't apply Elemental Damage. Anybody using the bone gunlance will lag behind anyone using Charged shot. Niantic never intended for that mechanic to ever be op so I feel sorry for all the misled souls dumping their resources into it lol.

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS thank you, its just pain to farm deviljho part lol

My pleasure. Don’t get me wrong if really was that good I’d be saying something about it. But even the Niantic devs said Wyrmstake shot and Burstfire were the intended play style for maximum damage.

Thats the dumbest *META* I've ever heard LOL. They want to break their backs and waste their time on something you have to do 75% of kush's HP on and its not even a guaranteed drop!? You got a source or something? Id be happy to make a video discouraging selfish behavior that isnt even merited lol.

I think it’ll increase in the next update. The thing is more loadout means more stress on the servers because loading more load outs isn’t as simple as we think.

Thats a good question! having tested with others that doesn't seem to be the case..that would be pretty cool but OP too (two elements in one GL if it was)

nvm i saw the comment xD

Basically I missed up lol. That was an old image from when I was putting the build together haha. The Rathian vambraces are supposed to be the gloves slot haha.

hehehe np bro!! good content!!!!

Appreciate you!

That’s a good question. For burstfire Wyrmstake shot styles Anjanath might actually better because of the normal ammo.

Glad your loving it! 🙏

In a nutshell yes. SSA is the new meta. But because the Wyvemstake Shot does so many proc hits you can still do well without SSA.

You can switch out for it if you want using the Rathian Vambraces. I forgot to put the 2nd build on there lol. Thats the one if you don't need Lock-On because of the Long ammo type.

It can be! If you like the faster charging and dont want to wait for perfect dodging etc. Focus GS is a common builld.

ITS SO GOOD!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!

@KINGOFCHARMANDERS oh I know! I watched it when I was a kid. Time for a re-run!

Still up there with my favorite anime even after all these years.

oh then you already know! haha I rewatch it while I work on content I never get tired!

APPRECIATE YOU!

Not great sadly. If it was all hits yeah it’s good. But it’s only for phial damage.

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS but I am thinking about it, the AED is very slow so you don't do a lot in 75 second for the big Crit DMG chances (the average is for every 1 of affinity is 0.25 DMG for all the fight) and with Artillery is 30% DMG guaranteed for the 3 hit after the AED (and I don't even talk about SAED). I would love if you can trie to compere 🙏🏽

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS P.S can you do side by side compression between Pink Rathian long sword vs gunlance DMG, I don't know what I want to craft😓

Honestly, if your good at LS you should craft PR LS. Gunlance is good if you can get good at Wyrmstake combos in combination with everything else it has to offer.

Pink Rathian is better because of the higher raw damage. The low poison build up factor doesn’t matter much at all because of how many ticks you can get with Wyrmstake shot.

If your low level it can help (Rathalos Helm) but Burst and artillery are much better!

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS what about focus, some ppl suggest having focus for the charging attack

Most of your damage is going to come from BurstFire and Wyrmstake Shot spam. There's no universe where focus is a good skill over Artillery.

Sadly no. You mine as well just go for the Rathalos one as its the best overall.

​@@KINGOFCHARMANDERSthats super unfortunate I guess ill stick with the pink rathian instead and the anjanath or rathalose for fire

ITS SO GOOD!

@@KINGOFCHARMANDERS yeah my set up is Zinogre Gunlance with zinogre helm for burst Basarios chest for artillery lvl 2 Rathian arm for burst lvl 2 rathian waist for burst lvl 1 and zinogre leg piece for burst lvl 1

Water build follows burst. There's just no good water support right now for the slots that dont have artillery sadly.

I don't have any control over that but it will hopefully come one day!

Oh I know, I'm just having fun :) . You're doing a great job with the content. Informative and entertaining 👌 👍 👏

HAHA! Yeah show them lol elemental totally does work!

haha my bad! Wyrmstake Shot = Crit and Elemental Dmg Upgrading = more damage and EVERYTHING in-between 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 Shelling = no crit or elemental dmg Overgrading = more damage and nothing in-between 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, 9.1 , 10.1

@KINGOFCHARMANDERS so the only time the shelling dmg goes up is when overgrading? I also use your focus 5 burst 3 bow armor set for this, can easily beat most 8 stars with a grade 6, using only charge shots and specials

Correct! So shelling and BurstFire dont gain daamge unless you overgrade. Everything else does.

@KINGOFCHARMANDERS thank you so much man, sorry for the bother. Love your videos

Nah your not a bother at all! Im just here to help haha. Ask anytime and I'll respond asap. Appreciate you!

APPRECIATE YOU!!!
