Is this Poison build decent?

[Void]

Greetings Hunters,

To begin, I am fairly new to the Monster Hunter genre, this is my first ever MH game. I am currently sitting at HR 91, and MR 71.

I like the complexity of creating builds in MHW, that being said, I chose not to look online for any builds, I want to create my own but I would also like to know if what I am doing is decent enough.

My build consists of:

Wyvern Blade "Blossom"+

Rathian Helm B+
Dober Mail B+
Rathian Vambraces B+
Odogaron Coil a+
Odogaron Greaves B+

Attack Charm III
Temporal Mantle

I wanted to go with Poison build, hence why I have 2 Rathian pieces for poison build up. My main skills are Critical eye 7, Attack boost 6, Poison Attack 4, and Health boost 3.

Affinity at 55%, and Poison element is 520.

What do you guys think? Also, If my focus at the moment is poison build up, can i pick any other weapon like an Insect glaive or Dual blades that have Poison element and use it with this build?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

It's a good build, Pard

I personally use pink rathian chest and helmet and use glavenus 3 piece (acidic leggings) for MM, slot in 2 lvl 2 psn decos and im set to use whatever afterwards

basically rathian weapons are meta right now , which have innate poison status, high white sharpness and high raw. i wouldnt recommend building for poison , since no matter what, you almost always proc it around 4 times in a battle regardless of weakness , try watching the video on poison status from the monster hunter math guys on how poison works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwvUfNbLJPU&list=PLqLOcmRN4PryR7T2SCCkhBdrCGensgb-E&index=16&t=0s

poison is a nice bonus to have on a weapon, but i would focus on raw dmg, especially if you want to go multiplayer, poison doesnt stack.

Swap out any Attack Boost gems for Weakness Exploit (Tenderizer). Attack Boost is a trap, especially moreso in Iceborne, as the base numbers are so much higher therefore % increases are significantly higher than the flat +ATTK. Plus, Crit & WEX got a buff.

WEX is your highest priority stat - level 1 alone gives: "attacks that hit weak spots have 10% increased Affinity, with an extra 5% on wounded parts."

Generally however, trying to prioritise an affliction like Poison isn't worth it just due to how the resistance builds up from a monster. Your first poison would come in quickly, but each following poison application would take significantly longer each time up to a certain point. You're still likely to have 3/4 applications of poison throughout the duration of a hunt regardless of the build.

You're still better off looking for high raws or high elementant dependant on your weapon choice. For SnS, go elementant as it got a massive buff in IB.

Um, OP is a SnS user atm, so elemental or status would be best
Also raw has been nerfed for the most part...scratch that, elemental has been buffed
