Ice resistance is completely pointless

[Dill Pickle]

Legiana is the only monster in the whole game that uses ice attacks
thats just sad

Not as useless as water resistance!

Haha got em.

[Tarkus]

kodachi and kirin are the only thunder ones so thats not that much better either. game lacks balance in that regard, whats the use of 2-3 fire weapons in each tree if there are so few weak to fire or have an additional weakness. id like to see more dual element/status DBs and element weapons that actually can hold a candle to raw weapons

Is it just me or is half of everything weak to water? I swear the best investment I've made was getting a free element build with the high end Jagras SnS, doing 360 water a swing is unnaturally effective on everything from Anjanath to Uraggon, Dodogama to Jarotatdus (when muddy). it's nutz.

I believe the most common weakness is thunder so far. I could be wrong though. But water sure is effective against most early game monsters, that's for sure.

It's even more sad when you can just take an iceproof mantle if iceblight bothers you too much.

well monster hunter works like medieval alchemy
a monster spits fire so water hurts its skin for reasons
90% of all mhw monsters spit fire

nice

Yeah, this certainly isn't the most elementally balanced MH.

Technically, there are more monsters weak to water than thunder, but most of them die too quickly for it to matter much.

I just noticed that every element is good against 2 elders, except for ice which is only good against Teostra who's also weak to water.

Edit: however, ice does kind of make up for it by having the most standard damage with only 2.5 immunes and 6 resistant monsters. So if you just wanted a weapon in a style you've never tried before, Ice may be for you.

It is rather odd they didn't bother with a ice Map like some the older titles I was actually looking forward to making hot and cold drinks to explore the really hot desert and the frozen icey mountains...but none of this even exist in world's which makes it not really feel like a world..

[jmido8]

My biggest gripe is that everything in the game seems to be weak to thunder, I wish there was better weapon balance in the game. You basically only need a good raw dmg weapon and thunder weapon.

cold drinks work for the volcanic areas of elders recess (and on zorahs back/against lunastra when she appears; do they work against teostras aura? never checked)... whilst im not such a fan of the heat/cold mechanics (although it could have an interesting dynamic with rapid changes, hard to fit that in without an alatreon or some sort of massive scale ED turf war to keep changing the environment) i would like to see a 'cold' map; the niche was replaced with coral highgrounds though; so im not so sad about this MH missing a cold map because CH is beautiful and unique

tundras were always my favorite (because of barioth)
and i hated the deserts (because of those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SHARKS THAT NEVER COME OUT)

> Ice resistance is completely pointless

Technically, since Legiana does use ice attacks it isn't completely pointless since completely pointless would mean it has no function whatsoever. Whether you actually need it is another story.

:skyecute:

but the main way to gain ice resistance is by farming the legiana armor
but then you already farmed legiana

Not if you want the weapons too and craft the armor first.
