Hi, PauwerPlays. I think you were correct with the 100% Affinity build that you showed in the video (Provided the Kulu weapon is upgraded to Grade 10). If you swap out the Pink Rathian Vambraces for the Azure Rathalos Vambraces it will lower your Critical Eye by 1 level, which I believe would lower your Affinity to 95%. Perhaps 2 levels of Crit Boost can compensate for the 5% less Crit Chance, but I’m not certain.
@Octovion yep i think 5% is small trade off to get crit boost for more damage. But yes it wouldnt be 100% affinity anymore haha. I got confused, i thought i miscalculated and got more than 100% affinity. Thank you for clarifying my build :)
The Coral Pukei chest is a MUST HAVE on a raw dual blades build. It is by far the best chest piece, allowing you to complete hunts faster than with either WEX or Sneak Attack. The coral chest is going to be the first armor piece im upgrading to grade 8, because the additional benefit from Rising Tide is hard to pass up. Anyone saying that Power Prolonger is not good on DB clearly hasn't played DB long enough, or is unaware of the lackluster skills the rest of the chest pieces give.
5 seconds is significant. After a tail cut, the monster usually sprawls a huge distance away which causes you to eat up time when having to close in for additional hits. By the time I reach the monster, demon mode is nearly depleted. Having a few extra seconds is enough to reach the monster faster and land the fatal strike.
I look at you affinity build and I'm a bit curious of why you're using pink rathian glove and coral pukei boot instead of azure rathalos glove and pukei boots to get your 100% affinity and 135% damages on all your hit? Is power prolonger 1 really better?
Whoops my mistake! That was suppose to be rathian gloves for lock on and burst! I must have misclicked on pink rath gloves haha I choose rathian vambraces for lock on so we can activate wex for that 100 affinity
@@PauwerPlays But don't you have lock on with your coral pukei-pukei helm? Also burst 2 will give you 10% damage for 4 secondes where the azure rathalos glove will give a 135% damage on crit instead of 100% so 35% more damage.
@@PauwerPlays Hey no problem at all ^^ I hope I don't make you feel bad, not my goal here! Just want to help ^^ If I can help more in any ways, don't be scared to ask me :) I love your content a lot ^^ Have a nice day! :)

Depends on your playstyle. If you like spamming saed then having longer red shield is important. If you just spam aed, no red shield still deals good damage.
little late reply but if you're on a slugger CB build I say spamming AED is more effective on monsters faces, charged state is still useful because you can Swipe down during SAED animation to make it an AED instead
@@PauwerPlaysmath wise doesn’t make sense. Dps wise is better to invest in other stuff. Please don’t spread misinformation. You can have your opinion but dps wise is not good
@@Simbaninogaminga well informed db player indeed. Demon mode needs to be turned on upon any attack so prolonged demon mode to compromise dps is not worth it
Not misinformation. PP really good on db. Reasoning: PP2 provides a 30% boost to stamina capacity / regen rate. Normal mode has some of the worst MVs in the game, so it's best to avoid it. In practice, when combined with Rising Tide 1, the chest piece effectively offers a 10-15%+ final DPS boost which is more than the alternatives. To compare, Wex 2 provides a 5.6% dmg boost assuming 90% accuracy, but with DB's playstyle, that percentage is lower since db needs to dodge cancel it's combos for optimal dps.
*Correction on the 100% affinity build* the vambraces should be azure rathalos for crit boost level 2. Sorry for the confusion!

I agree. Longer demon mode is so much better
The chest piece also looks cool! Imo

Never thought of it that way! Thanks for sharing man!
with my Black Diablo CB minus affinity, I don't think I need this mail, Rathalos mail more better
Yep depends on the weapon youre using
They knew long sword is so good it doesn't even need assistance
They dont want to buff it anymore
my area dont have coral pukei- pukei...so sad...even there is 2 no body around to play..oh well
Sorry to hear that man. Hope you find others to hunt with
@@PauwerPlays hope i can level up fast for the next coral pukei event..heh
Im still confuse what should i play sword and shield, bow or dual blades
Choose whats most comfortable and more fun for you :)

Is it worth charging your shield first before spamming?

Thanks man!
Welp. I just started the game, so I can't complete a 5* hunt. 😅
Not worth it for dual blades
If you can fit power powerlonger into builds, it provides a great advantage for db imo

Tldr; really strong in elemental builds.
Element 5 + wex2/lockon + PP2 is optimal.
First
