MHWilds Protein Fiend?

Was curious if anyone has messed around with protein fiend (xu wu set bonus) with gogmazios chest. +15 raw seems pretty significant (I know burst is a strong skill on its own but ebony secret gives +3 at 2 piece and the additional uptime seems more incidental than a major reason for speccing into it). It could be time blindness in hunts but, anecdotally, 3 minutes seems a long enough duration that monsters are changing zones or I’m healing anyways.

I think the biggest downside I see, besides resource management, is being forced into adrenaline rush over something like agitator, counterstrike, or resentment, but the slots seem pretty good and both the uptime and raw on adrenaline rush seem comparable to counterstrike.

Ok, I have took a look to see what I could cook and this is the best and pretty decent.

You can also add gogmazios set bonus thanks tu xu also being included there and you can get burst 5 if your talisman has 1 point.

I think you have a point. since you can't get ebony 4, gogs and lord soul at once.

I have included quick sheathe and speed eating 3 so eating the meat becomes a non-issue.

Oh, this is not a meme actually. I think can be considered meta in some fights like vs gog, more so if you add the possibility to consume more buffs.

Beautiful, thanks for looking into it! My only question would be which fights would you consider this a good option? I.e. is gog a good fight because the elemental hit zones make gogmapocalypse perform better, or because you’re presumably buffing anyways for it?

A lot of work when you can get burst bust for +10 without forcing you out of the way

I think this is fair, but as far as I can tell you can’t slot both burst boost 4 piece and lord soul 3 piece without rolling a gogmartian with both skills, which is why I think 2 piece set bonus is a more reasonable point of comparison.

I agree with him, but I have a Burst Boost + Protein Fiend + Heroics based build that someone can use for the lulz.

A kinda meme build that is still strong as it has the relevant skills.

I tried using it xuwu but other sets are better. 15 raw sounds good but its not with other set ups.

I was trying to get the best damage possible on gs. And i ended up hitting 442 on a throttle basis. Sitting in the mid 300s when not at peak.

My set up should work on gun lance aside the perks need for the lance itself
