    I just tested this tonight with my LBG. With the Tobi event, i got my electric to 7.2. My Anjinath is 5.5. Shooting a Paolumu, it was almost the exact same damage. This is huge. Thanks a ton!!

    This is helpful, it’s good to know how these calculations work to optimize builds. I thought the element would have some kind of multiplier but the fact it does nothing to monsters not weak to it is crazy.
    Next you should do one on how focus affects dps especially on the bow 😁 would be good to know if maxing focus is worth sacrificing some element damage armor!

      @@shindenxxxx I know critical distance is farther with pierce and when you get all hits I believe it is 7 hits. What I'm saying is that pierce is just not great at hitting weak points if you watch the damage numbers on the later hits they will usually be less than the first hits since it pierces through the weak point or you can miss out on damage because it misses some hits because it goes through the monster before getting all 7 and while standing far back is fine sometimes you can still pierce out of critical distance and get decrease damage that way as well these are also reasons dragon piercer the bow special is the weakest special since it takes better aiming to get right vs every other special I have had times where I miss or the monster moves and I do less than a normal shot with pierce shot you have to strategize where you shoot more vs spread or rapid example would be the raths they charge I will dodge and shoot up to hit wing and with rapid bows all arrows will hit but with pierce only the first couple because if goes through the wing so if the shots normally would have the same damage the pierce will do less because half the shots miss the point while rapid and spread both hit what you aim at fully

    Also you can mention. For paralysis weapons, when a monster eventually gets paralyzed, you deal 10% more damage, only if using Girros weapons. If playing in a group and the monster is paralyzed, other weapons do not get this 10% benefit. This was tested by another Ytuber, Team Darkside.

    • @Boink1209
      @Boink1209 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BrothersGraham so because Paralysis is a status ailment. It affects ALL monsters. Monsters that are weak to it (ie. Diablos) just means that the amount of paralysis is increased to make it paralyzed quicker. When any monster gets paralyzed, you will deal 10% more damage too.
      The raw damage is your main damage, the paralysis damage # is for a possibly “hidden gauge” for the monster to become paralyzed.

    so seems the main draw of Anjanath bow over Rathalos is shot type spread vs pierce since the targets for fire are Jagras, paolumu, barroth and Legiana. Jagras is rather small, Paolumu gets access to tornadoes and a hard to dodge ramming attack at distance, Barroth you rarely want to stand directly in front of and Legiana will not allow you to back up to critical distance. spread is just easier

      Hey there! It does not work like elemental damage, it is as you say raw with poison build up on top. More testing is required on the actual damage as it seems to scale up with the target you apply it to. Weakness just seems indicate lower thresholds to apply poison.
      I would like to do an in depth look in the future on how the damage and resistance scales.

      I believe the poison weakness in monsters makes your poison damage ticks do more. From my experience the difference in damage seems to be about the same as if you hit a monster in an non weak point vs it’s weak point when the monster is weak to poison.

    • @shindenxxxx
      @shindenxxxx ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Based on experience, it is chance and threshold when it comes to paralysis and poison element.
      If you notice, not every attack shows you these status ailment damages. That's the % chance I'm talking about.
      For threshold, it is the amount of damage you need to apply in order to trigger the effects of both poison and paralysis.
      I was once able to paralyze a monster with my Girros hammer after max charging. It deals 500+ paralysis damage back then and I was surprised the monster suddenly was unable to move already even if it's just a few seconds in the hunt.

    So are poison and stun not elements?
    Would that mean that they don't get the damage buff from elemental weaknesses? (or at least poison...)
    If thats the case, then what exactly does the elemental number of these weapons indicate?

    • @AifritGaming
      @AifritGaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      Paralysis and Poison seem to work like this:
      About 1/3 of the time your attack will apply the status of the weapon to the target. That amount seems to be scaled by the amount of status on your weapon as well as the strength at the attack that got the proc. In order to get poison or paralysis to actually trigger, you need to apply enough of the status to meet a threshold.
      For example say a monster's poison threshold is 1000. You'd need to hit the monster enough times to apply 1000 poison to poison the monster.
      Now for weaknesses, it seems to indicate lower thresholds to apply the status. In addition for poison, it seems the poison does a lot more damage when it is applied. I hope this makes sense!
      Stun is kind of the same except it is applied with every hit to the head for any blunt damage.

  • @brandonlim3165
    @brandonlim3165 ปีที่แล้ว

    great video! this really makes it tough to decide what to build for as a bow user tho; currently running focus, and weakness exploit as my priority when gearing so no element attack increases. Thoughts on this?

    • @AifritGaming
      @AifritGaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks! I think for bow focus is quite good since you basically want to charge every attack. However I think element attack should be more worth it at level 3 and above especially at lower weapon grades. For example if your total attack with element is 800, 200 element attack is a 25% damage increase for 3 points. 3 focus at focus 5 is 15% faster charge. So the element attack technically should provide more. However comfort is an important factor, as I dropped focus I got hit a lot because I misjudged my opening so that’s something to keep in mind too. If focus simply gives you more opportunities to attack for some monsters. For element attack 5 it’s really hard not to go for such a huge attack increase.
      Personally I just put as much element attack as I can if it’s at least 3 then rest is focus.

  • @sephatu6521
    @sephatu6521 ปีที่แล้ว

    Max level spread shots is easier to hit all their 5 shots, and at close range it would hit the most weak body part. compared to pierce that you need to line up with the body and the arrow may pass and miss the last 2 hits.
    Weakness exploit armor skill is more useful on spread vs pierce because of this.
    Anja could be better for most small and large size matchups.

      @AifritGaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      In terms of how they function, it seems like it is like ordinary monster hunter. Every hit you have a 1/3 chance to apply the status you have on your weapon. Say the weapon has 200 poison on it. Every monster has a threshold that needs to be reached before a status is applied. So if that threshold is 600, then you would need to hit the monster enough times to see the poison proc appear 3 times in order to poison the monster. Typically this threshold increases every time you apply a status so it would be harder the next time, like moving the threshold up to 800.
      From what I can tell, thresholds seem to scale with monster level. I don't have information on how good poison is yet and which weapons are better among them.
