Looking for a decent Insect Glaive Build (non-Drachen)

[TheStark700]

Insect Glaive has been my main weapon of choice since the beginning of this game.

What are some of the best build for the Insect Glaive without Drachen armor on PC?

Kaiser Crown γ
Empress Mail β
Kaiser Vambraces α
Kulve Taroth's Malice γ
Kaiser Greaves γ
-----------------
Mighty Charm II
-----------------
1x Flawless Jewel
1x Mighty Jewel
6x Attack Jewel
2x Critical Jewel

This is for Empress Ruin. Pretty expensive though cause of the 6 attack decos so drachen is still better cause you can get more skills and has 3 attack boost in the armor itself. If you're having trouble getting it, get the plunderblade for your cat and use that to farm.

Builds for Kjarr and Jho IG lose out on too much if not using drachen so this is probably one of the best sets you could try making.

Thanks! This sounds very helpful.

basically tyrannis - kulve taroth

+ elementless (no weak enemies)
+ transferable (switch weapon to something non-elemental and ur fine on every weapon)
++ style (golden blingbling, especially nice on the ladies)
+ damage AND survivability

- no elemental
- no elder seal
- no high affinity
- no ultra high dps (tradeoff for survivability, if you want dmg throw away the vitality ;P)
its still high dps though
