Wyvern Shot + Frostcraft?

[Netsa]

Built Teostra's Clusterf'r, and I'm thinking of going wiLd aNd cRaZy with the build for it. I could just build basic damage, ammo up, and spare shot, but then I scrolled past Frostcraft. Should I go for the memes?

Bro , just go full clutch claw attack ( preferably with HBG that have wyvern sniper ) . It deal more damage than wyvern short and best of all , cost no ammo .
And yes it also make use of frostcraft .

Nah, that's boring. I want to actually fire something, not just spam clutch all day.

In case anyone was wondering, I did build it. Here's what I ended up with:

Equipment:
Teostra's Firestorm
Rimeguard Helm B
Rimeguard Mail B
Rimeguard Vambraces B
Rimeguard Coil B
Damascus Greaves A
Health Charm :P

Skills:
Guard 5
Health Boost 3
Free Elem/Ammo Up 3
Artillery 3
Quick Sheath 3
Divine Blessing 3
Defense Boost 2
Flinch Free 2
Fortify
Special Ammo Boost 1
(yay level-4 decos!)
(mantle slots are open)

Custom Mod:
Reload Assist
Close Range Up <- (for Wyvern)
Close Range Up
Shield
Wyvernheart Type 2

Certain decisions were made because I mainly just wanted to spam Wyvern S. Tested against Savage Jho, with food bonuses, the damage per wyvern blast was over 700, on a 2-shot clip (it uses half the Frostcraft bar, so the second shot deals reduced damage without sheathing first). If they let me bring more than just 10 shots of it, that dps could drop monsters at a pretty nice pace.

Cluster 3 does ridiculous damage without any extra help, but it is buffed by Frostcraft.

This isn't 100% optimized for damage, since I could replace the Health Charm with something else like the Spare Shot charm if I wanted to sacrifice survivability. Using the True Spare Shot armor set would let me use more shots, which may equal more total damage if luck is on your side. There's also the armor set for Artillery 5 which, combined with a couple of normal attack bonuses, may out-damage Frostcraft as well.

This is really fun to use, though! Quick Sheath just feels really nice on HBG, and the massively-buffed Wyvern shots are incredibly satisfying.
