so is HR zoh shia worth farming? it seems its armor/weapon didn't change the meta.

[Geek Ultra]

the weapon's white flame proc rate doesnt even seem high (but correct me if im wrong).

[wano.]

From what I'm gathering from others, it seems Whiteflame is effective for low damage/defense builds. I wouldn't say its a bad skill, more like a side-grade.

The armor is definitely worth farming just for the fashion options.

Ignore meta, then you'll have more fun

The damage is decent, but it doesn't work out for me because the sharpness is too low. I miss Valtrax's long white bar from Rise. My build doesn't have enough affinity either.

No that great, I don't think it beats Gore weapons
Armor is also kinda meh. If you can dodge attacks long enough to heal by super recovery then you probably don't even need it. But it's ok, kinda like comfy survival set with agitator.

Agreed, the way the female armor works is just neat. Using it as a layered armor rn.

If you want to look like 80% of the hunters running around in the new gathering spot then go for it.

I can only speak for bow, the new items and weapon doesn’t change the artian meta.

Mostly side grades and fashion change, nothing that will really change your already defined set ups, we are getting arch tempered ray soon so i assume this is where we start getting noticable difference in gear, like how world did this same pattern.

Yeah, since the average is 1 proc every 6 seconds, minimum every 3 and its about 33% of the proccing hits damage, if your hunt only lasts 2 to 5 minutes you aren't getting a whole lot of bonus damage out of the weapon.

That said, they come with 3-2-1 slots, have high base damage, some affinity, the always fun dragon damage, and look cool. They are fairly competitive with artian weapons and the other BIS weapons for various playstyles.

I did it few times but that's mostly it. Back to looking for crowns and finishing 100% until Xpansion drops.
