    Thanks for confirming that critical element doesn't multiply the elemental attack skill damage! Don't feel too bad that you already leveled up all of that elemental attack armor: that stuff will still be useful for negative affinity weapons and builds where you don't have room for all the critical hit skills. I got lucky: I've only built water elemental attack gear and already had half of a crit-build, but Jho and Rajang weapons are going to be basically useless for me until I build dedicated gear for them...

    Thanks for this MH math course.
    It does seem that our elemental builds will become less relevant but it also means that we could start working on a single crit + element crit build that would work with all elements and then add some element skills on top of it if we have spare slots and lucky drifstmelding.

      @@PauwerPlays To be fair, elemental attack is still valid until you actually get the G10 top elemental weapons. Especially for players who are not in endgame yet and are still stuck with sub G10 weapons, it's better and can help boosting their damage to the needed levels. But once you get the meta weapons to G10, then crit element certainly scales better and will only continue to do so, when we go past G10 eventually.

    Hey Pauwer, I think you should add a second video which explains how mhnquest comes to their numbers in the compare tab. It would be an advanced video that explains "expected value" of crit, what "practicality assessment" means, etc. It would also be great to explain what one should and shouldn't use mhnquest for (for example, it is not meant to compare weapons of different types, or even weapons with different shot types), and how to interpret the results. If you have somewhere I can contact you (discord etc), I'd be really happy to share my results so you can make this content and bring it to everyone!

    Recently, I found my damage lacking in my ice build.
    Seeing this info about the element crit only buffing the *weapon's* element damage made me think.
    "wait, how much is Kushala Frostwind actually buffing me?"
    if it's increasing my 7.3 Kushala LBG's ice attack by 10%, that's only 38.5 more attack.
    ... in which case, very much not worth it presently. Maybe later, but I'm also sacrificing 2 / 3 levels of Ice Attack for my current build. Losing 250 attack to gain 38 sounds hilariously awful.
    Current: Kushala LBG, Kushala helm, Paolumu chest, Legiana arms and waist, Barroth legs
    ... oh. Never mind, we can see this change in the equipment menu. from 485 attack to 533.
    Looks like it does buff the Ice Attack skill too, but I'm definitely better off with my old build for now.
    At least just thinking about it helps in the long run!

    @Airahn 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Something I would like to know and seems to not be discussed by anyone is "what the point of unlocking higher difficulty?"
    I feel like their is almost no point in unlocking higher difficulty once you got to 6* and every monster are available. 8* is interesting as you can then upgrade gear to get more skills, but I feel like it is not worth the grind. If I want to try a new weapon or build, it takes days, weeks, maybe months to get it high level enough to fight 8* monsters.
    Sounds too tedious for not much reward imo.
    And 9*/10* reaaaally look pointless.
    Maybe I'm wrong, and I would very much like for people to explain what is the appeal of unlocking higher tier. As of now, having unlocked 8* for about a month, I feel like I'd be better off just starting a new account and have fun trying different weapon and builds.

    • @Airahn
      @Airahn 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Please no one tells me that it is so the game becomes more challenging, if you do it for this reason you're an idiot. You want more challenge? Don't upgrade your weapon. You're welcome.

    • @Teofrostus
      @Teofrostus 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      You can't upgrade your weapon past 7.5 without 8* monsters. If you don't care for that, then you're right, no reason to unlock them. But if you want to max out a weapon and see big numbers (which I'd argue most people want to do eventually), then you need to unlock 8*.
      As for 9* and 10*, the reason to do it is to get more 8* monsters to show up on your map, mostly. This is much less of a problem now that DLs are common, but back in the day, you would only see 1-3 8* on your whole map at the 8* map, which doubled (or more) when you unlocked 9* map and nearly doubles again at 10* at the cost of have 1-3 10* monsters on the map you can't kill, making farming those 8* rarity 6 parts a lot easier.

    • @Bigheader
      @Bigheader 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Unlocking 8 stars gets you to potentially get WGS, which is needed for end game. Plus, unlocking higher tier monsters is more challenging play. I've unlocked 10 stars, but can't take them down even with maxed out weapons, so I simply go after 8 and 9 star monsters exclusively. Hope that helps!

    • @PauwerPlays

    This looks to really benefit the Silver Rath LBG.

Turn that thing into a literal flamethrower with a touch of poison attack to help support any teammates using a Poison Exploit build.

    Please, that Crit Element 3 vs Element Atk comparison is very misleading. The damage value is only higher at very high weapon grade (10+) and only if you Crit.
    Also, I know that the term Meta has no clear definition but Crit Element is better defined as Min/Max build. It might be the highest theorical damage ceiling currently but is it a rather inefficient way to achieve that number range given that you need to massively farm an event only monster and Crit Element 5 is only achievable on Fire Element which is pretty limited in current monster roaster…

    • @PauwerPlays
      @PauwerPlays  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Note that the number i showed for the crit elem 3 and elem attack 5 comparison did not account for the 1.25 crit multiplier, so the actual damage that crit elem 3 still gets a 1.25 multiplier. Checking the math, even with a grade 8 weapon it would deal slightly better damage.
      But yes crit elem is harder to maximize but as time goes on im sure there will be more silver rathalos events like how there were more azure rathalos in the past.
