Normally I'd be kinda miffed about the way Magala shows up in like every #MonsterHunter game in spite of it supposedly having a hugely long reproductive cycle that only completes every couple hundred years
but MH4U was my first MH game and I've got this headcanon about that game being my hunter's first assignment so she ended up helping to discover Gore. So now when it shows up she's like "we must stop meeting like this. Just send me a letter next time." #monsterHunterWilds #gaming
My hunter's being followed by a nigh immortal nonbinary edgy dark knight monster who keeps causing problems to create reasons to meet because they're too shy to just ask for a date

@CactuarJoe oh no that monster sounds like me

"Kut-Ku shouldn't be this annoying" you fool. Kut-ku is always annoying. This is but a fraction of his obnoxious potential. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

#MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #GamingHere's the thing; whenever people talk about a support build in MH, there's SOMEONE who recommends Mushroomancer. But honestly, it's not that great.
Yes, it takes less time to eat a mushroom than to drink a potion. And yes, it lets you double up on the items whose effects the mushrooms mimic -- so, for example, 20 Potions! And yes, it's a relatively cheap skill -- only three Lv. 1 gem slots.
But.

For a start, the mushrooms duplicate the *weaker* items -- Potions, not Mega Potions, Demondrug, not Mega Demondrug -- or items you really don't need that many of to begin with.
Secondly, three Lv. 1 gem slots becomes a bigger deal the further into the game you get. This is *especially* true for a support build, where you still have to slot in offensive skills in addition to your support skills -- you still have to contribute to DPS, after all.

Never mind the fact that, in most MH games, it's not actually that hard to scrounge up the full list of items required to combine into the full-strength support items. It's easier than ever in Wilds, with the gathering support you get from the villagers. You should have an easy pipeline for everything except Nourishing Extract by the time you hit endgame without really trying very hard. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

So yeah. Avoid Mushroomancer. Use that space to slot in Free Meal or Speed Eating. Hell, I'd rather run Defense Up. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

Anyway, my ACTUAL advice for people who want to run a support build?
Don't stop at healing and buffing. Look for other ways to help the party.
Bring the stuff to build extra traps. Run a Paralysis or Sleep weapon. Use a blunt weapon to inflict KO and Exhaust. Focus on the legs to get trips. Learn when and where to use Flash and Sonic Bombs. Every flinch is free DPS, my friends. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

...Which is exactly what happened with Rise when it first came out and, I feel certain, will also happen with the NEXT MH game to release.
What can I say, I'm predictable.

WRT the difficulty of Wilds, I fell less like it's an easier game than Rise and more like they just... give you all the stuff you could get by running around the map for five minutes pre-fight in Rise.
So instead of grabbing spiders and toads for extra knockdown, they just give you extra from wounds. Instead of running around grabbing bugs to boost your Atk, they just drop the monster's max HP.
I'm not saying it's *better* just that it's how it feels. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming

I will say getting four -- OR MORE -- Paralysis procs in a seven-minute fight ON TOP OF wound knockdown, traps, trips, and KO does feel overpowered. #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming
