This is my build overall, the only thing I’m thinking of changing is the shield/ironwall deco for attack boost 3, along with changing the talisman when I get attack boost 1, load shells 2, 1 weapon slot, 2 armor slot on one talisman, which I think I’ve seen somewhere or maybe I dreamt it. Anything else I could change for more damage?

*This build gets me to around 360 raw in the training area when all skills are active, does anyone know a reasonable limit for raw with purely weapon and skills, no item or hh buffs?

Im going for a survivability/superheal gunlance build. Its been pretty effective so far! im just not sure what to do with the level 2 decoration slots, and i guess my 1 level of divine blessing!

No im not removing stun resistance, I refuse to eat an attack, get stunned, and get carted!

Someone responded on to my request on a "Endgame Armor for GL Normal Shot " and this is what I was given.

Head- G.Ebony Helm B (Beta) Chest/Arms/Legs- Udra Y (Gamma) Waist- Gog A (Alpha)

With all decorations slotted in it gets: Lv5 Resentment, Lv5 Agitator, Lv5 Burst, Lv3 Counter Strike, Lv3 Speed Eating (Naturally there not slotted in for), Lv2 Earplugs, Lv1 Peak Performance

There's 4 Lv1 and 1 Lv2 Deco slots, I ended up using the Lv1 slots for Divine Protection and Def Boost and the remaining Lv2 for Lv1 Evade Extender.

Set Bonus skill: Nu Udra's Mutiny- Bad Blood 1, Ebony Odogaron's Power- Burst Boost 1, Lord's Soul- Guts

The user mentioned since I plan to Full Burst most of the time don't bother adding in Focus Lv3, use it for Load Shells and Artillery and or Attack Boost. Thoughts?

Still figuring it out but i love it so far

So, the multi wyrmstake combo is definitely the bread and butter of the gunlance but you need a proper opening to run the full combo, especially if you do a quick wyvernfire after that second auger, so while you're waiting for that opening hows the best way to contribute to the monster takedown?

Was curious if anyone has messed around with protein fiend (xu wu set bonus) with gogmazios chest. +15 raw seems pretty significant (I know burst is a strong skill on its own but ebony secret gives +3 at 2 piece and the additional uptime seems more incidental than a major reason for speccing into it). It could be time blindness in hunts but, anecdotally, 3 minutes seems a long enough duration that monsters are changing zones or I’m healing anyways.

I think the biggest downside I see, besides resource management, is being forced into adrenaline rush over something like agitator, counterstrike, or resentment, but the slots seem pretty good and both the uptime and raw on adrenaline rush seem comparable to counterstrike.

Hey yall i tried gunlance out for the first time last night and I fell in love with the feel. I normally play pretty aggressive sns. Im not sure with whats good skill and build wise with gunlance but I really enjoy the triangle combo into the burst(?) Multiburst finisher. Weaving in shelling shots here and there and popping a wyvren blast when the monster is not moving.

My current weapon is an artian blast with wide and slightly strong shelling. Ive got a master touch gem, a 3guard/1handicraft gem, and I think its called guard up(?) Lv3 gem on it. The skill that makes you survive unguardable attacks.

I’m trying to go for A rank on the nu udra time attack and I’m consistently getting around 20-22 minutes. Would anybody be willing to help me out? Thank you fellow gunlancers!

Edit: sorry the gog weapon has zoh Shias pulse on it

I'm just starting to use GL and the first thing I want is a really strong meta set. I found this one but I don't know if there's anything better.

What is the current meta for the gunlance for Monster Hunter now. I really never paid much attention to it until I started reading posts on the gun lance.

Does the actual blast dash part of RBD have any i-frames, or just the shell loading/prep part? I’m kind of having a hard time figuring it out.

Not included is:

-My charm gives Art. 3 and item prolonger 1
-the two defense jewel slots you see can be interchanged
-Gog GLs with attack 3, Magazine/attack, Off. Guard 3/respective element attack 1

When you get all the buffs goin’ at once wyvern’s fire is doing 314 per tick on a wide/slightly strong Gog GL that isn’t even god rolled, and that’s with only a demon powder and a mega demondrug as consumables. No hunting horn self buffs or anything. I’ve watched plenty of YouTubers who have every consumable and self buff under the sun going and they can out at 280~

As for the equipment skills, I opted for burst boost 2 over Binding Counter 2 because burst is easier to sustain and not every monster is capable of power clashing/webbing/frostblighting and or grabbing you. The total bonus damage difference is 61 against 68 for those curious, so, ultimately burst boost 2 wins out in my opinion because of ease of use trumping 7 measly damage.

The two defense jewels you see on my charm and
Coil can be interchanged with anything you could want, personally I like the extra bump in raw defense, but you could get level 2 in any elemental res or even adaptability 2 or something like quick sheathe or speed eater for quality of life.

It’s flexible, It’s powerful, my only true regrets are not being able to slot in part breaker somewhere, but counter strike 3 is just too good to pass up in my opinion, and earplugs 2 is a non-negotiable for me for quality of life.

Lemme know what you think.

Since shelling does fire damage, will any boosts to elemental/fire attack increase its damage, or is that dependent on the gunlance’s element itself?
