In Monster Hunter World, is it pointless to put barrel bombs near a monster's head while using a greatsword? Like, while the True Charged Slash end up hitting just the head and not the bomb, or hitting the bomb before the head, thus not giving the big bonus damage to the head?

with gs specifically it's often more damage to bomb the tail on a lot of monsters, if you can trigger the bombs after getting the wakeup

also bombs do nowhere near the max amount of damage you can do with a tcs on a decent build, so trying to get the wake-up hit with the sword itself is usually optimal

even just triggering the bombs manually after getting the wakeup is usually better as long as you're still hitting a good weak point

Alternatively if you’re in multiplayer you can just have the gs player wake the monster up with a tcs to whatever bodypart is weakest to slash, then have another person trigger the bombs on the head or something

I'm only playing solo, but regardless, you're saying it's better to get a TCS to wake up the monster, then attempt to blow up bombs near the tail immediately?

the wakeup with tcs is definitely better, bomb location kinda depends on the monster and if you're trying to break a certain part or something

because bombs do really high damage for that

Would I just get the TCS off, then immediately aim at the bombs with the slinger to get the bombs to blow?

that is an option yeah

I'm usually too lazy and just bomb and tcs on the same spot

play roulette with which one'll go off first :^)

When I was playing on PS4, I was maining CB(this was before IB released), and it was relatively easy to make sure the SAED hit the monster before the barrels. When I was playing on PC a couple years ago, I was mostly playing GL, pretty easy to hit the head(or whatever my target was) and the bombs at the same time. Playing GS this time, but it seemed a bit harder to make sure I get the TCS to hit the head first.

And I'm having trouble finding videos of people setting up bombs for that with a GS for example.

TCS is just pretty finicky honestly

If I just don't even bother with bombs, I don't have much trouble getting the TCS to hit my target on the sleeping monster, but with bombs included, it's very finnicky.

idk about lining up tcs since I just kinda got used to it on my own

but this video is great for understanding how to maneuver around in combat

gs in iceborne and rise is easily my favorite version of the weapon

kase how many players is MHW

4 per party

Alrighty

spooky bought me the game so I have to play this with you guys

sure

I'll probably be busy with rise in a month or so though

since the expansion for that is coming out

dw, Pika is not playing World for a full month

yeah understandable lol

unless he really likes it

which is possible

I let xbrox know too

I'll go download it

and we can game

since she's been wanting to play it with us too

I haven't played world in a while so I'ma be hella rusty but that's part of the fun

Wow, I didn't know the changes GS got in IB. This is dope.

my brain is so fucked by rage slash in rise that idk how I'm gonna do with tcs anymore lmao

yeah new GS is super sick

they gave it so many options for moving around that if you play properly you basically never need to sheathe

both in rise and iceborne

and now in the rise expansion they're gonna let us use both TCS and rage slash on the same set

which sounds fucking nuts

rage slash has hyper armor and gains more damage if you're hit while charging it, and now they're letting us swap back and forth between that and the more damaging tcs on the go

gs is gonna have an answer for literally everything and I love it

based jeff

is e3 any good yet

actually real question

have they announced bloodborne for pc or does the whole event suck

it's been worse than I thought it would

half-way through so far
