>>714321041 (OP)8 star monsters were a mistake. 5x-ing the monster HP and stagger values to make hunts take 3x as long is stupid, and they don't even offer better rewards than the quests pre-TU2 either. It's literally just the most blatant move at padding for playtime.

>hurrrr lets nerf more shit that didn't need it... b-b-but at least hammer has another offset right?!?!?!Why did CB did to have the saw nerfed? It really wasn't good. SnS is fucking ridiculous by comparison to most other melee weapons, it just shits out damage and you dance circles around monsters without really even trying. Fucking topple attacks doing 700-900 damage sometimes? Insane, but let's nerf that CB saw damage!
And of course, Longsword buffs because it's Jap's beloved weapon because muh katana, even though it's been OP as shit since World. I'm fully expecting master rank Longsword to just be given straight up always active invincibility at this point.
