Best/Good Bow Build for High Rank starters? (HR 11)

[Bean]

Hi guys, whats a good Bow Build for an HR 11 like me? Currently on a quest for HR Rathian. I already have the Kadachi Bow, can you guys tell me what to pair it with? like skills, armor set buffs, etc... So it can help me progress uptill Xeno Jiva. Thanks in advance :d

The guides of this damned place should be pinned ffs. - You'll want consitution, attack boost, weakness exploit, stamina surge and so on. Constitution should be your top priority, followed by either attack boost or weakness exploit (if you can afford anything else, feel free to put it in your build!) Thunder attack too since you're using the Kadachi Bow.

Spread/Power Shots, Normal Shots, and Constitution are all super good for general bow builds. There are a number of videos online for good Normal Shots builds if you just like shooting arrows at baddies.

Dragon Pierce builds are out there as well but are more situational since DP benefits from large monsters with large wingspans that don't move a whole lot-- like Diablos, Bazel, Xeno-- and Elder Dragons that are the same way or have a lot of stupid bounce points I want to ignore-- like Kushala or Teostra. Bow Charge, Special Ammo, and Piercing Shots-- among other things-- are good for that.

If you have gems and slots to do it, it's never a bad idea to slot elemental attack up for the element you're using. Just remember that when the elemental attack value on your wrapon stats turns orange, it's capped and you may want to check how many gems you have slotted to make sure you're not wasting slots.

With Bow use the always use the element which the monster is weak against.
A good starting armor is.
Rath Soul Helm beta
Rath Mail beta
Odogaron hands alpha -> later kaiser hands beta
Odogaron waist beta
Lavasioth feet beta or Diablos Nero ß
Fitness III (Constitution +3) charm

You can slot in the Damage Decos for each Element you need and have already good Armor that you can use later on and don't have to farm again.

I don't like how this set look like but cannot find anything working better (including non-elemental-crit builds with MaxMight, Weakness, 6-7 attack). And ExBehemoth layered armor set is probably months away. Eh...

yep it's ugly but a good set for starting. For Fahion Hunting take the armor you like and slot everything you need in it. But starting with no or just a few Decos the set will do it's job.
Well, for every Bow I have an extra set.
