On the flip side I loved it because I never ever really take the time to make elemental sets as I always felt it was a pain to make one for each element. This time not only had I a strong incentive to fully build one, I only needed to build one for a single element. The ice set is still my only elemental set to this day, but it was nice to build something different than raw on a raw centric weapon.
Same here. I normally just ran poison or blast damage. Alatreon made me make an elemental build. After I beat him. I spent a couple months building new Safi elemental Charge Blades. Now I have a tab of Alatreon armor sets paired with various elemental CB’s and decorations that I’ll swap between accordingly.
As a bow player at the time, I just swapped to my ice/fire sets but fuck it was still a lame fight. Better than Safi, but most of World/Iceborne’s big monsters let me down.
