      as a HH user there is no such thing as "support" or "healer" if u cant do somthing by urself while doing damage, why are you even here? so saying the LBG is better for "healer" build is a none-sense for me, ofc it is useful but everybody can have widerange and heal, any ligth weapon can do that and the HH can do that without using object. what does the LBG bring to the table the other HBG dont? does it exhaust or stun the monster better than the HBG? does his elemental damage provide good enough damage so it isnt to far behind the HBG? is the demon bullet and armor bullet giving a cumulative bonus with the other demon and armor consumable(even tho it is to hard to try and give it to an ally)? that the issue i have with the weapon so far, LBG have to much drawback just for being able to dodge, what redeem it really?

    TGC I appreciate your "Stream of Consciousness" style in videos, however in this type of video I think it subtracts from what your trying to communicate. I believe having a little more structure would help organize the content and prevent you from having to double back (~22m and ~25m). This will be less of an issue with subsequent videos but in my mind one of the greatest strengths to the guns is the variability of play styles the ammo and ammo stats create; but here feel like it caused you to wander. I really like the summary you provide at ~10m for the LBG, and wished the whole video was in that format: with you explaining why and doing your demonstrations, following the outline you present in the summary.
    I did enjoy the video and think it presented a lot of really good content and look forward to the next 6. Keep up the great work, you are my favorite resource for MHW content that's not geared to speed runners. :D

      The stream of conciousness allows me to share my thoughts very quickly, and Ive found that to be a really enjoyable way to talk about the game. Sometimes I write long scritps and do heavy editing that can take like 8 to 16 hours, but over time Ive learned this sucks the fun out of talking about the game (for me). So Im letting it happen more naturally in this video. I can understand if you wanted more production quality though.

I understand and appreciate the work that goes into the production and polish that goes into your videos, especially considering the amount of content you produce, and am very thankful that you are willing to continue doing it.
      From what I have gathered from your content, it is true to your personality to do a more "relational" type of video where you engage with your viewers and share your own experience; which I personally enjoy as a break from a lot of the other "Best..." videos pervasive on RUclips. Perhaps it is just semantics, but I felt a disconnect between my expectations of a "Review" type video and the more fluid structure of the content you provide here. Again, I appreciate what you share, and feel like you are one of, if not the, most approachable content creator in this space, i just wanted to offer some feedback other than video metrics. :D

    World was my first time playing and I fell in love with the HBG from the start. Matter of fact the first HBG I crafted was the shattercryst, and it carried me all the way through to MR. Shoot I still use it as my go to after upgrading it to the Franz Glacia. Yes the CCII is better, but the fact that I get pierce 1,2,3, flaming and ice, cluster 1 and 2, sticky and slicing I feel ots a pretty easy to craft and generally all around great weapon.

      I think LBG is my most used weapon... don't even have 200 uses for my other weapons but LBG... over 700 uses. I love playing healer as it helps, it really helps people in SOS situations. If people fire off an SOS they NORMALLY cannot handle the monster meaning their armor isn't up to snuff. So having a healer drop in and save the day is just an overall good thing.
      Also Friendship Charm lvl 5 helps greatly in this!

    Something that you said. Rapid Fire DOESNT do more damage if you really want to max dps .Those 3 shots do roughly same damage as 2 shots without RF while taking more time .What rf does best is AMMO EFFICIENCY. You shoot slower but get more from each clip

    Theoretically, their playstyle determines their output where Lbg has more mobility to evade thus dishing out damage in intervals between attacks
    while Hbg has big ammo reserves and long animations meaning they rely on doubling down on massive damage in a short period to match dps or risk getting hit (needing more street smarts of knowing monsters)
    Means Lbg works with everyone really but usually works better with the same playstyles evaders who can handle themselves (LS, SnS, Bow, IG, DB, GL, CB)
    HBG works better with disablers or tanks to draw out aggro (unless ur the tank but another tank is also good)-- Lance, Hammer, HH, SnS, CB
    And usually Lbg shines on Elemental ammo while Hbg works best with the niche Spread or Pierce

      Afaik, just like the normal ranges, its purely based on how far away you are from the target. So you can get in or out of the range by aiming for a further or nearer part of the monster

      I actually dislike this. I'd prefer if it did massive damage on impact, not a sticky shot. That way, it would benefit from a lot more skills and also the special scope.
      The special scope ironically doesn't seem to work with the actual wyvernsnipe shots despite clearly being intended for sniping.

      @danielnelson4881 4 года назад +1

      Personally if I'm getting bored of farming with my main weapon, happens to be DB in Iceborne. I'm finding that busting out an HBG with some spread or piercing ammo, which is obviously absolutely NUTS damage, is the kind of mind numbing and quick kill weapon that I needed to break the monotony and boredom like in the guiding lands or something.
      Now I'm a lot newer than most people by FAR (in fact when you made this comment I hadn't even done my first quest for the better part of the year haha). So I don't have every single element of dual blade all the way upgraded and augmented for each and every element type or have some of the later game higher MR gear... So since I'm still grinding sometimes I just don't wanna go full on pew pew pew run run slash slash demon mode pew pew archdemon pew pew oh I killed the Azure Rathalos and now I'm hitting Odogaron with dual blades that do dragon damage so im literally only doing raw to him... Better go back to camp and switch my blades and gear out entirely so I can have the means to do decent damage to him! Etc etc etc over and over.
      Sometimes I don't want to set myself up for 5 to 10 mins (including fiddling time) in order to go hunt something... Sometimes I just want it to work.. and to do insane damage no matter what I'm fighting, intentional or spontaneously. I just wanna sit back and go pew. pew. pew. pew. reload. pew. pew. pew. pew. reload. Knockout. pew. pew. pew. pew. reload. flinched. pew. pew....... You get the point... Anyway, I wanna be able to mindlessly do that and have the monster be killed in no time at all even with my pathetic HBG skills. Easy as shit.
      Now when it comes to the above average monsters like elder dragons and zinogre and raging brachy and stuff.. Not confident enough in my HBG skills yet but I'm still sure I could do it...
      Either way, I save those for my DB: flying ninja beyblade let er rip demon roundslash bounce off ya face with an instant tenderize cash me outside how bow dat you gonna bring the demon mode out in me I been drinkin dash juice all GOD DAMN DAY.
      Sword to the face.

    I want to subscribe to the other dude's opinion, to put it bluntly, the lack of effort in editing / scripts, really puts a toll on the quality of the channel.
    I mean, these kinds of videos are pretty easy to format. It's a straight comparison, and *VISUAL* comparisons are key to maintain interest.
    Speaking about interest, it would really put off people to see that it's a 30 minute video, and it has no flow. They would literally have to comb through every part of the video to see what exactly they want to see.
    For example, the main thing people would want to know is which deals more damage. Yet I wouldn't even know where to look since I wouldn't know when you'd bring up the issue.
    Lastly, I just want to say that low effort videos, while "fun" to make, aren't "fun" to watch. And just to clarify, we don't really want 6m subs kind of quality video.
    We just want a video where we can understand what's going on, and what to look at. A 30 minute video that could've been compressed into 10, is 20 minutes not grinding for that attack jewel.
