Tried Heavy Bowgun last night for the first time, it's actually pretty fun! Might play with it every so often. The main thing preventing me fro making it a sub-main is the incredibly annoying blademaster/gunner armor split. It's hard enough to make one set of armor, making two is just too much.
I maxed out my new Crimson Fatalis Blast glaive and honed it for defense with those dang Zenith Wyvern Gem L from Apex Rajang. And still managed to keep Evasion+3, Sharpness+1, Windproof Hi and HG Earplugs in the process. Nice!
With that added +60 to defense through honing, now I don't mind using the glaive so much. My normal one had +110 so there was no way I was gonna take a drop in defense that large just to use another weapon. But a mere drop of 50? Sure, I can dig that.
I did end up dropping the Bomb Boost skill though. I don't want to downgrade Evasion and Windproof just to add a little extra oomph in my blast status. I can always eat for Felyne Pyro if anything. Besides, this glaive has a whopping 560 blast status- I don't think it needs any help applying the status effect lol...
EDIT: And my goodness, Apex Rajang... Ya, you guys are gonna have fun with that one hahaha.
Oh that's right, I could get armor spheres! I'll try to find that fabled berry mission.
I guess I could also try to get a better HR armor too. Wanna hunt some Teostras, Sanya?
Is that Tetsu armor G or HR?
What I did was max out my HR armor as far as it would go (until it needed strong armor spheres). That, combined with the Armor Charm and Armor Talon, combined with a weapon that adds bonus defense, was enough to start scouting G rank quests for strong armor spheres. I found quite a few in the "Deliver 8 Tropical Berries" quest in the rewards box by taking out the Plum D Hermitaur that crashes the party. It's not a guarantee- sometimes I got just 1, sometimes 3, but after a few quests I was able to upgrade my armor 2 full rounds with 10 strong armor spheres. Mind you I did this solo, so with a group it shouldn't be a problem whatsoever.
Then I simply ran through the G1 key quests until I got to the Seregios Urgent. Farmed him for my first G rank set. Then I upgraded it until it could go no farther (without Divine Armor Spheres) and used it for most of the G2 and G3 quests. It wasn't until I reached Chameleos and Kushala Daora that I made my permanent mix armor set.
So ya, that plan of attack worked for me anyways. Think TeeJay also followed that blueprint for G rank as well...
