Great for zero aff weapons.Īttack Increase is “roughly as good” as affinity augmentation. It also has a hidden passive ability of “Reducing stress”, “Counteracts salt”, among others.Īffinity Increase augmentation is the next general “best bet”. For most hunters even TWO ranks of this is GODLIKE! Three is a little much. Essentially, percent based lifesteal, this is by far the heaviest “power level” of all of them. I would almost never take this on Rarity 7, and NEVER on Rarity 8. But only on “very specific builds” wherein the medium outweighs 10% affinity and some flat attack. The only time I would take this is on a Rarity 6 weapon taking Lifesteal/Slot/Slot to get an extra medium slot. Is Slot Increase augmentation good? I would have to say in most cases it’s a NO. Unless you are literally so bad at the game your lifesteal amount cannot equal to damage negated by 10 defense over a hunt! Lifesteal will improve your “survivability” much more than 10 defense EVER WILL. You want to add 10 on your weapon? At the cost of LIFESTEAL? When compared to ANY of its peers in augmentation, the effect is simply TOO MINIMAL.ĭefense is everywhere! You have FIVE armor slots which give 80+ DEFENSE. Why is Defense Increase bad? Defense is a great stat. ![]() Feel free to correct me but my assessment is 100%, 24/7, sure as sunday, certainly, surely, with much confidence, a resounding No. Is Defense Increase augmentation good? No. Should I take Affinity augmentation twice? I personally wouldn’t in a vast majority of cases. HOWEVER, I would rather get Attack Boost on my gear since L4 gives 5% affinity. Since Attack Increase is roughly worth 3 Attack Jewels, and Affinity increase is worth 3 Expert jewels. However, ultimately, BOTH CHOICES have an OPPORTUNITY COST of “3 small slots”. If it has 10 or more affinity, take Attack Increase. If your weapon has negative to zero affinity – take affinity. If your weapon has high affinity – take Attack Increase once if you can.Īttack increase is better on non-elemental weapons, as the gem BOOSTS the small gain from it (however, a lot of the good ones have negative aff).Īs a general, and I mean it, general recommendation. If your weapon has negative affinity – take Affinity once if you can. I cannot tell you what to get as each build is different. Sorry.Īffinity Increase versus Attack Increase augmentation? Oh boy this one gets asked A LOT. The aboslute correct answer depends on far too many things for me to say with outright authority “A is correct vs B”. I can only give “ informed recommendations“. ITS EVEN OFFENSIVE! 1, or even stacking 2 levels of it can allow you to run some EXTREMELY offensive builds of utter greed and be REPAID IN MASSIVE LIFEGAIN! Augmentation FAQ part II If that tiny margin matters for you, then you probably are in the razors edge of speedrunning. Health Regen simply boosts HUNT SUCCESS RATE VASTLY, versus any other augment that IMPROVES HUNT SPEED by a small margin. But, if you sheathed your weapon to recover health, twice to be conservative, HEALTH REGEN ALREADY BEAT IT. So a 180 second run goes down to 162 seconds or so. Like I said, with perfect play, Attack Increase would (very loosely on average) improve your kill time by 10% AT MOST. I would only skip Health Regen if I was going for the speediest of speed kills where shaving a few seconds would make or break my record (if it even meant that much for me). ![]() If you sheath your weapon even ONCE MORE than if you otherwise didn’t have it to drink a potion – it’s already better than attack increase.įor a vast majority of hunters on a vast majority of hunts, Health Regen will simply obliterate the efficiency of ANY OTHER AUGMENT, hands downĪll of my weapons have at least ONE level of Health Regen. Its effect simply CANNOT BE REPLICATED easily, or at all. Health Regen (Lifesteal): is a god tier augmentation. ![]() What’s the best Augmentation for my weapon?ĩ9.99% of the time, I will recommend the Health Regen (“Lifesteal”) augment. MHW Weapon Augmentation SummaryĪdds “three Attack Boosts” worth of base attack damage to your weapon.Īdds 10/5/5 Affinity% on your base weapon stats.Īdds 10/?/? Defense on your weapon. I assume most people here wanna learn about Weapon Augmentation, which I’ll talk about first. Armor augmentation is simple and I’ll talk about it way down there. What can be Augmented? Weapons and Armor.
