Gold Rathian CB build

[Krausser]

If I were to build around it, what would you recommend? I was considering using gold rathian 2p bonus, from chest and waist, in conjunction with other standalone armor pieces that provide some good skills like ruiner gloves and garuga boots. I did also consider free meal 3, but I run that on sword and shield and I think it's the only set I can run it guilt free on(with wide range 5 charm). Any suggestions?

With sufficient decos you'll get Crit Eye 7, Atk Boost 4, WEX 3, Crit Boost 3, Offensive Guard 3, Artillery 3, Focus 3, Guard 1, Cap Boost 1 and some filler depending on your combo decos. Could use Damascus chest instead and some other charm if your decos don't get this done.

I don't want to build it around MT. Got enough of those builds already. Besides it has enough white sharpness to last until the monster leaves to another subzone, so MT is relatively pointless.

It's not when you use Savage Axe all the time like you should. Besides there's every skill you'd ever want except Agitator and Peak in there, but Offensive Guard 3 gives you 45 true raw so that's way better anyway.

Damascus chest is literally better because you can get atk boost 4 charm and have 1 deco overall more

I can fit a Phoenix or Shield deco with Brute chest, can't do that with Damascus. Obviously for guard 5 sets you use Damascus. Can't fit Geology into Damascus aswell, Brute chest enables you to.

No, but damage wise I'd rather go agitator.
And there is a geology jewel 4 which could be swapped with it in this build:

Safi's Shattershield
=> 1 x Health Augmentation
=> 1 x Affinity Augmentation
=> Awakening: All Attack Increase
=> IV => Agitator 2
----------
Kaiser Crown beta +
=> Latent Power 1
=> Critical Eye 2
=> IV => Offensive Guard 1 / Critical Eye 1
----------
Damascus Mail beta +
=> Focus 2
=> IV => Offensive Guard 1 / Critical Eye 1
=> II => Focus 1
=> I => Artillery 1
----------
Kaiser Vambraces beta +
=> Weakness Exploit 1
=> Heat Guard 1
=> IV => Weakness Exploit 2
=> III => Artillery 1
----------
Kaiser Coil beta +
=> Blast Attack 2
=> IV => Critical Boost 2
=> II => Critical Boost 1
=> I => Artillery 1
----------
Garuga Greaves beta +
=> Critical Eye 2
=> IV => Guard 1 / Critical Eye 1
=> II => Capacity Boost 1
=> II => Offensive Guard 1
----------
Attack Boost Charm 4
=> Attack Boost 4

__________
Skills:
----------
Latent Power 1
Focus 3
Heat Guard 1
Attack Boost 4
Offensive Guard 3
Capacity Boost 1
Guard 1
Critical Eye 7
Artillery 3
Critical Boost 3
Blast Attack 2
Weakness Exploit 3
Agitator 2

For defense, I'd swap the attack boost and agitator for health boosts though and for multiplayer, you could swap around some stuff to get flinch free in there as well (It's what I run XD).

But you'd have to be someone who enjoys seeing their partner having intercourse with another man to use Safi gear

Sorry btw, I had a few typos in the skills summary.
Why would you not play safi if you even benefit from blast? oO
You can easily switch the safi weapon for any other weapon though. The critical eye 2 in garuga greaves fits in any weapon with 2 separate slots and you can just put the agitator 4 jewel in there.

Well if you are not interested in the "oh meta so great" builds such as MT, then go for Zorah hybrid i guess. You will be spamming to get that high raw for your phials unless you are using elemental anyway
