Best longsword build?

[Xilent]

What's the most optimal build atm for pc? I just grinded divine slasher and need a build for it.

That only 1 handicraft is going to hamper your damage unless you kill the monster in literally less than 60 seconds.

no, because you are having the "protective polish", which is protecting your weapon sharpness for 60 seconds, once it runs out, and you find the time to use your whetfish scale (maybe even +) to resharpen your blade, it is enough.

+1 Handicraft means you get to white, that's all you need if you use protective polish, thanks to it you can focus on other stuff.


edit: also: if you get lucky, get enough Whetfish Fin +, you will never need any speed sharpening at all, because those are 1 cycle, even then: Whetfish Fin is only 2 to begin with, so more focus on other gems and skills

Divine Slasher needs 3 handicraft to get white though, so 1 handicraft isn't going to do anything.

I'm mostly playing with these 2 builds:
Earplug + Critical Draw Build[mhworld.tabletopgeeks.com] when you finally got fed up monsters roaring to your Spirit Helm Breaker. More on hit-and-run attack play style.
or
More on DPS build. [mhworld.tabletopgeeks.com]

Edit : the dps build is not my current build actually. My current build runs on Handicraft Lv4 and with protective polish.
I forgot to update my builder and probably will update this post when i get home and check.

There's no single best build, different strokes for different folks and all that. Here's mine though:

It's not 100% optimal, but it's highly offensive and has wiggle room with jewels. The brace and three attack jewels aren't strictly needed, they can be changed to taste (useful for effluvia against Hazak or paralysis against Kirin).

I'd get some fishing done if I were you, most min/maxed melee builds go for as little white sharpness as possible, then rely on protective polish to keep it there. That means mid-battle sharpening, that means you're going to want whetfish scales to avoid wasting points on speed sharpening.

that build is good

It's not the best though and I am still missing a Tenderizer Jewel for 1 level of Weakness Exploit (which will replace 1 Speed Eating) but the armor pieces selection should be fine.

Drop any handicraft on the armor and use handicraft charm 3.

SET:
Divine Slasher
Dragonking Eyepatch
Dober Mail B
Kasier Vambraces B
Negrigante Coil B
Death Stench Heel B
Attack Charm 3


SKILLS:
Atk Boost + 7
Weakness Exploit +3
Handicraft + 3
Critical Eye + 2
Crit Boost + 2
Protective Polish
Non elemental Boost

No need to get handicraft 5 its a waste of slots since handicraft 3 and protective polish can cover for one encounter till monster goes to another area. I opted for Attack Charm since its much easier to craft than waiting for RNGesus to give u Atk Jewels :))

Go full offensive on Long Sword since you can just Foresight slash everything for defense. Though for Val Hazak fight where alot of damage are coming from everywhere I prefer to use Negrigante Sword+Val Hazak armor for the Dragon Attack and tasty health regen.

Since there are some nice builds already here I second the fish statement. Seriously.. get whetfish scales. Even if you have 5 whetfish +.. they cover a lot of runs since there is a very high chance not consuming one if used.

You flat out said the same build as I did earlier, just you are running attack jewels instead of speed sharpening jewels and less handicraft.

Entirely a gem/charm difference, but sharpening every minute suuuuuuuuucks.

Oh didnt really read out every comment and I just posted my LS build, i dont have attack jewels ratheri have an atk charm. Its just a matter of preference regarding handicraft, i dont really find myself needing to sharpen most of the time. Also whetfish is a thing so i got that going for me, free speedsharpening rather than wasting two slots just for speed sharpening.

EDIT: Also your build needs more time to make ( Handicraft 3 charm needs you to finish all optionals) also relies more on rng (Tenderizer gems).

It’s a build damnit. A set would be full nerg helm, chest, arm, coil, boots without any mixing. What I am doing is “building” around my divine slasher.

Ps: thank you for the builds everyone, tried a few and they work perfect. Although I can’t seem to get death stench heels idk why I have 2 sinister cloths I just have low rank version.
