Maximum Might or Maximum Meh ?

[kampfer91]

On the paper the skill , especially the enhanced one from Glavenus set , ensure 40% affinity when full stamina but in practice you always use your stamina one way or another like dodging , guarding or even sprinting , that 40% extra aff can't be put to good use .

So any idea on how to make good use of this skill ?

It's not as good as it used to be, before it was instant as soon as your stamina was full. Now it takes about 3 seconds or so to activate. It's great for lbg though. If you can manage to keep it active then it is an awesome boost.

iirc it's a lingering effect now, kinda like Affinity Slider. EDIT: though only 5 seconds it seems so... eh.

A good starting point would be using the "Stamina Use Reduced" buff ( dash juice, orchestra etcc ) and Stamina Surge

Glavenus armor raises MM skill lvl cap to 5 (maximum might secret), level 5 gives you 40% affinity when stamina is full.

That is if you can keep it full when you attack , but the set not a good bowgun set , it skill suggest something like GS but GS spend a lot stamina dodging and sprinting around the monster .

MM is useless now, agitator is the way to go.

Early MR, Maximum Might level 5 is pretty nice with greatsword. At level 5, Maximum Might goes into effect as soon as your stamina gauge is full (like it used to be), and your stamina fills up while you prepare the true charge slash.

Unfortunately, the glavenus set has terrible decoration slots, so you'll definitely be swapping it out for something else by the time you complete the story.

Err.. no? I played 300 hours with CB/GS and MM in my build and it worked fine. MM is meh with new expansion though since it requires you to use armor set and 5 skill slots instead of 3 to reach the same effect. And as Zplayer96 mentioned, there are more valuable skills ins Iceborne. But in case you want to use MM for some reason, lvl 5 is way to go.

At level 4, it takes 5 seconds of max stam to activate, and lasts for 4 seconds after you use stamina. I'm running it now and hitting my 90% affinity fairly often (also have crit eye 7, crit boost 3, handicraft 3, health boost 3, stun res 3, tool use 3), insane set, everything just vanishes before me and it looks pretty nice.

I personally think level 4 is better than 5 but I use longsword so a lot of my attacks drain stam. Theres plenty of openings where I have max might active at the start and get that nice 4 seconds of extra affinity.
