    I thought it was a great video. Well narrated; and I thought the editing was good as well. The quality of the information carried the video nicely. Because you know the weapons so well, you keep us captivated without having to go overboard/flashy. This is nostalgic for us longtime MHW players, but it's also informative/interesting for the newer ones. Keep up the good work!

    @@MegaPixlz I stopped playing as well last year on the console after Kulve was first released cuz RNG gave me the middle finger every time I completed the siege, so for a time I was out of the meta as well. After buying the PC version sometime around september, I was quickly able to catch up by generally watching speedruns of some youtubers like Phemeto here. Yeah it's kinda meh when you're just copying someone else's set, but you can eventually branch out and create your own set from there. Whats great is that there aren't alot of armor pieces to choose from anyway for an optimized build, since select pieces of the arch tempered armor sets and behemoth's are all around the best in terms of deco slots and skills. Problem is farming them tho.

I've been there since the beginning and had a few months after Extremoth where I took a break. Not only was your vid an excellent journey through the evolving playstyle of MHW bow (excellent points on gem/gear availability and its effects on builds), I now know very clearly what the current situation of bow is right before Iceborne hits. Thanks for the content - I would gladly watch your other MHW weapon history retrospectives!

(don't forget Mighty Bow deco). Skipping Normal+Spread Shot decos in favor of the stamina skills. No need to waste vouchers. Con3 + SS2 + Dash Juice is soo incredibly comfortable I recommend every bow player try it out once.

    Bow went from ranged Hammer to ranged Dual Blades. Instead of focusing on the single volley with power shot, it changed to rapid hits with lots of element, going through stamina like a shark a school of minnows. If Dash Juice hadn't been nerfed, Bow would've probably been the undisputed king of the base MHW meta, as it could drop stamina management skills for more crit, attack, or element (I don't count Max Might as it would've been completely different with infinite stamina). These two reasons are ultimately the reason I dropped Bow when MHW finally released. Old-style Bow felt too weak to do anything early, so I was planning to pick it back up in post-game, after getting a bunch of Dash Juice and making a set with Focus. After finding out Dash Juice's nerf and old-style being obsolete, I never picked it up again. I originally picked up Bow as a safe way to fight Rajang while actively fighting him, not passively like a GS baby, back in 4U, with the same playstyle in Gen/GenU carrying me through GenU's G-rank in multiplayer. It both gladdens and saddens me to see where Bow is today, being in the meta for the former but not how I learned it for the latter.

    I've had the game for a couple of weeks on PC and can't play enough. I play with bow until I can't kill something, then fall back to Lance until I learn how to kill it, and once I've mastered the monster I swap to a Kirin/Legiana/dual blade/bandit blade build to farm efficiently. I enjoy testing out new weapons occasionally, and the great sword is great and the hammer is funny af, but also very useful for farming kelbi horns.

    lol pathetic. The current bowplay is completly Amazing. Slow charge every shot like a tard is not a fun playstyle. DP playstyle also called "snailstyle" is boring as fuck and iam so glad that it died off at the start of MHW. Current bow is the greatest bowplay in any game really, bow is Always slow and you have to carefully aim each arrow and you almost always only have a certain ammount of arrows, like in the farcry games etc its also fun and really good bowplay sure but the bowplaystyle in MHW is so diffrent from other games wich include bows and its very fresh/diffrent and amazingly fun.. So typical anyways "they changed it from the old games so now i stopped playing it". Hurr durr change is bad hurr durr, i remember the good old days when bows took a day to charge up an arrow hurr durr i like sucking on garbagebags hurr durr
