Is there a skill that draws monster aggro?

I know there's Felyne Provoker, but since it's a daily skill, I don't know how to activate it on-demand :(

I recently picked up Gun Lances and fell in love with the Earthshaker, but it's REALLY hard to use it in MP when the monsters are constantly chasing after other hunters :(

i'm not sure, but i just want to say that that would be a really cool skill

Hmm I think theres no particular skill to draws a monster aggro in MHW armor skills. Maybe only Behemoth since he got a unique mechanic which is behemoth's enmity. but again not a skill

Challenger mantle, thou not a skill but a tool..

Ooooooh yeah... I forgot that was a thing lol

Would be nice if you could have something that stayed up for the entire hunt, though.

felyne provoker, random foodbuff, is another way to trigger more aggro

A provoke that lasts the entire hunt in multiplayer would be so bad though...
Someone would grab a lance with guard 5 + guard up, press R2 the entire hunt

Anyway, you can get aggro with the challenger mantle, felyne provoker, palico shield gadget & enmity (behemoth)

If you want 100% aggro on yourself the only option is to solo without palico, which is pretty fun tbh

Luckily there are solutions other than getting aggro in multiplayer for your case.

It's very easy to keep up with a monster on gunlance when you know the right moves, namely the forward+poke (which you can instantly shell if you're playing wide/long) and the back+back hop after any move which is basically a longer back hop.

You can also get evade extender 3 and it will make you extremely mobile and able to keep up with monsters moving places easier.

Give it a try and hope you find it enjoyable :D

Back in previous generations the Sense skill made it so large monsters were less likely to target you at +10 when it became "Sneak". This skill effected the monsters random rotational targeting as it picked targets for its next attack. Alternatively, the Sense skill would become Taunt at -10, which increased the chances of you being targeted. This was the only viable skill for focusing more aggro on yourself than your team that I know of as well as the only negative effect that had a positive outcome if you planned on a more of a Tanky role.

No such skills in MHW, though I wish there were. Would be great if certain weapons like Lance and Gunlance could cause an icon to appear above them after attacking the monsters face enough times that would make the monster focus on them for 2 to 3 attacks. Sortta like a Lesser Enmity. Perhaps a mod option at the Smithy for those who don't want to use the ability and just play like they normally have?

Not at the time of this post, and yes this is hella necro, but yes. There is now in master rank (requires iceborne) a provoker skill on some earrings obtained from the arena quests called the Showman Earrings α. I believe the requirement is get an A on all arena quests.

This. Also, it needs to be better. Hardly works from my experience. (like, 20% aggro increase). So if you're with 2 other players, on average, you'll be targetted 4 out of 9 times. I made a GL build with these earrings (no food skills) and was sorely disappointed.

I just want to clear up that to get the showman earrings you do not need to get an A on all arena quest. You just need to beat arena quest 6 and 7 with at least a B. There's also another earrings reward for clearing arena quest 1-4 with at least a B but unfortunately I forget what skill it had.

Yes, Provoker. You get it from the Showman Earrings a+ which you can get from completing all current MR arena quest with A/B rank.
Can we do links here?? I'm new..
