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

When the game came out a week ago but you're obsessive and you've already run through like 90% of the content and now you're waiting for updates that are like a month away

...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.

@CactuarJoe hyperfixation's a bitch

@xerozohar The problem is you can't turn it OFF

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

@CactuarJoe nah, it's better. Busywork be damned

@xerozohar I can see the advantage, but doing it this way also means you don't get to opt out -- in Rise, I could just not grab stat boosters, or subsist on what I got heading to the target. In Wilds, there's no way to turn the monster's HP back up.

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

Anyway, I eagerly await the new monster updates and the inevitable G-rank expansion #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming
