The combat and how the weapons felt is what pulled me away from monster hunter to wild hearts, aside from the bow the claw blade was one of my favorite weapons. They did a soft nerf to the bow a month ago which I was ok with, but this nerf to the CB was too much when they could have just nerfed the glider/claw combo which was broken. The CB isn't fun anymore now. At this point I think I'm gonna stick with playing Monster hunter.
Devs, I can live with less damage or the extra hits to use Ultimate, but the gauge depletion is stupid af. I actually use the ground game to build my gauge and dodge around attacks but I can't use the Ultimate b/c of it, total BS. I WANT MY FULL 40 SECONDS!
That’s definitely not true, the claw blade had some very very competitive kill times, only really being edged out by bow and staff (staff op). The weapon was brain dead easy and way too safe, but I think the nerf was a little much
It was the glider that made it op. You could easily get finishers off while being extremely safe. Not only does using the glider feel terrible with claw blade now, there’s no reason to use ir because you can’t build enough gauge to do the finish. I might be my imagination but the weapon just feels more sluggish now. I didn’t use the glide loop because it’s it gets stale but right now claw blade feels bad. We need to be able to chain the light attacks without doing the dash at this point for it to be effective.
@@TheBlakamon15 im sorry what? 😂😂😂 We're talking about fast kill time aka speedrun and literally every weapons are in a good place except for the staff. No shit needs a nerf except the staff. Tell me you dont play the CB without telling me so
@@NuggetWrestler staff most brain-dead class in the game please miss me with that also what monster are you hunting that you think the claw blade is brain dead seeing as I had to avoid the tree trunk ass hitboxes in the air while fighting the camera, while having maybe 10s to do 2 full rotations of attacks while having to be anchored on a weak spot for max dps.................while in comparison to other classes that are turrets by comparison ie every class but the umbrella which has a get out of jail free parry mechanic. claw blade losses in dps to bow, staff, cannon, umbrella and now nodachi since its now the 2nd best weapon in the game.
Update: The devs have acknowledged claw blade needs a rebalance!!! They have addressed this on their twitter! OUR VOICES WERE HEARD! twitter.com/playWildHearts/status/1644409167803998208?t=3_u5RnSOzFKslwsOdGUKWw&s=19 Be sure to LIKE the video to support everyone
Ahh ok. I was just playing it without paying attention to the update and it seemed like my claw blade gauge was depleting faster and I couldn't pull off the ultimate attack as much.
:'( Its crazy how noticable it is. Like you didn't even need to know to notice the difference, you just felt it. That kind of nerf is never a good idea.
@@SkySenseiVB Yeah, I'm farming Grimstalker for parts and every little bit helps. My timing was completely off so the first few tries, I would do a combo and not get an ultimate and just float in the air, lol! After the hunt I checked my gear, armor and what I ate to figure out why it was different and I found your video. I kept at it and it's an adjustment but I agree with you, it's just too much. It was a lot of fun staying in the air, dodging/strafing and waiting for the perfect time to strike. Now, I just divebomb it because I need to get as many hits in as possible before I detach. I don't bother strafing or orbiting the kemono anymore, just dive and pray I hit something. It'd definitely not as fun as before. :(
It definitely is. Apparently the devs are planning to change it again with the upcoming patch. I just really hope they don't revert it to how it was before. How it was before could literally trivialize hunts.
@@Tech_D3mon like staff is doin? Like nodachi is doin? It it's normal for casual players, but for speedrunners? Nah It feels terrible compared to other weapons in speedruning.
@@khaild7856 can't speak facts to people that try to apply their own logic I would have been cool with a damage nerf but they literally changed the mechanics of the weapon..........
@@Tech_D3mon yea doesn't changed the fact that you can 4-5 shot any monster in the game at full charge with the staff.......... And now can cast the ultimate move on the nodachi at fkin will... please make less sense..
Damn, I just got all my talismans too. Gonna peace out until they unfuck clawblade, and yes I play other weapons but the claw is by far my favorite play style. Players enjoy new content not constant nerfs .
I've adapted to the nerfs, but yeah, looking forward to the rebalance. It needed a nerf, but it does feel to heavy when all of these are out together. I don't think it's game ending or unplayable by any means, and it's still my main. But I can see why it became unfun for a lot of people.
claw blade was one of the reasons why i kept playing the game this is sad af, the new updates and new kemono are kinda meh. I think its time to quit this shit def not worth $70.
God man the claw nerf was unnecessary. I feel like I don't even have a finisher anymore. You dodge once then you might as well unhook the kemono cuz you won't get it off. They literally killed claw. Sucks were being punished cuz of how speedrunners were playing it. They nerfed in the wrong way completely. Sadly ima peace out of wildhearts till things change ):
OMG YES. You're completely right. They tailored this nerf for speed runners meanwhile everyone else DOES NOT PLAY LIKE THAT. It was in a very comfortable spot and as I said in the video, one of the nerfs was okay, not both. :(
@@SkySenseiVB i play the CB EXACTLY like that I don't speed run but it's literally the best way to play it since it minimized the amount of down time you had doing no damage while allowing you to target exactly where you'd do the most damage....... now anyone with a great sword is going to be spamming torches why? because it'll get them the most damage..... it makes sense but instead of completely changing the mechanics they could have just nerfed the damage even though to me claw blades best hit, hit for like 1400 to 1600 on a weak point fully buffed at most........ hardly the hardest hitting weapon.
Dam that’s bad I felt it when I was finding a new monster today in the morning I was like what is this? Why is my gauge running out so slow? It seems like I’m not doing any damage it’s completely useless now this was a big mistake they took steps back instead of making steps forward. You don’t Nerf things you put everything else at the same level so everything’s good
I think nerfs are okay if there's a range of dmg they want to meet for all weapons but this much for this weapon is just wild. idk if this nerf was tested properly cause most people I'm seeing here instantly felt the change way too much hard.
Yes this was way too much. I mean I literally felt it as soon as I hooked onto the monster. I was like wait a minute somethings not right do I have the right set up or the right claw blade then I checked my set up I’m like yep Hopefully the community comes together. Lets this developers know that this was too far for the weapon. It’s not usable anymore. They need to go a different route and not be so extreme as they did on this update for this weapon does honestly made me want to quit because the only reason I was playing this game it was because this weapon was really fun.
Hey, I don't know if you realize but you can chain multiple normal attacks together while your hook onto the monster more than before, like spin down spin left spin right then power attack and boom ultimate attack
Shame look how they massacred my boy. I think that the gauge nerf was the worse part for me. Claw blade just doesn't feel good to anymore. Welp guess I'll move back to one of the other weapons now. Shame too, because I had the most fun claw blade.
Claw blade is pretty much unplayable now unless your just super sweaty. I’m assuming they nerfed it so hard cause it had all the best speed runs but that’s just their broken timer system start the timer as soon as you load up. I’d much rather them limit 1 chain trap per player or some sort of CC immunity on the monsters for a short period so it can’t be triple trapped ( granted I always play multiplayer ). It’s not even possible to use the glider and hook now cause you’ll only get 1 spin attack off. On top of that wether you main a Claw Blade or not it was probably the most hyped and interesting weapon they offered due to how unique it is. The insect glaive on monster hunter is like a candle trying to outshine the sun by comparison.
I don't think the number of hits required to unleash ultimate with Claw Blade went up actually. Prior to this patch, it always took me 5-7 successful strikes before firing off the ult. But now, it only takes 3. Hell, 3 plunge attacks is all I can get in one claw grab now 😅
Pretty much maxed out on most things expect for particle effects, procedural density, shadows, and reflections. Motion blur and DOF disabled. I also have Nvidia contrast settings at 65% from the control panel which makes the colours popout. I think the last one though does depend on your monitor :)
They literally killed claw blade. used to be fun play claw blade...now its just a pain in the ass. i already dropped the game just for that reason alone. might sound stupid reason for some people but for me killing my main weapon is a bummer and a reason to stop bothering with the game in general. ALL those nerfs are just TOO MUCH.
I’m not the best player around so CB helped, I still died a lot… now oof. I can’t survive… Not all of us are super good, I agree they could’ve just made it more hits to do finisher… Aww well…
that was always somthing that could be done its also not good since your light attack builds more meter then your heavy attack you did this combo for dps nothing more really. the claw blade is just unviable now with nerfed damage nerfed mechanics it's a shit weapon, now it's down there with the katana which is also shitty. What I do not understand is how the staff which is the most broken weapon in the game was untouched and how the great sword got buffed into being almost as cheap as the staff.............
Claw expert is a must now. Spring into heavy attack, into glider, and do as you did before the patch. I consistently have done my special over and over with this tactic. It for sure doesn't hit as hard. I was at 1600/1900 prior, and now it's closer to 900/1100. I still beat Grimm under 5 minutes solo.
IMO if something's getting nerfed, i think they should start with the overpowered karakuri staff.. who would get thousands of dmg on its ultimate/super/charge attack.. ive seen staff users who would slay kemonos, without even initiating the hunt..
This did not need a nerf it was able to keep up and take part of these speed runs.... this is a joke and I was a loyal player... they destroyed the only thing that made this feel like not another slow monster hunting game.... ill be leaving the game... wagasa just isn't as fun to me
Claw master helps a bit. It was never a huge amount but if you manage it well, its definitely possible. I do believe you need claw master now if possible. Claw expert is nice but claw master is superior with this change.
I'm not one to rank - I do think it was a pretty solid weapon before this change dmg wise but indeed it is a very strange weapon compared to everything else out there haha.
Idk why people are overeacting over the claw blade nerfs. Like claw blades are one of the safest weapon and easiest to use. Ofcourse its going to get nerf otherwise there would be no incentive to use other weapons for people with no skills on the game. Like 90% of claw users are terrible at the game thats why they use claw, i think wild hearts team nerfed it so these terrible players will finally be forced to use other weapons.
