How big a damage buff is focus for gunlance in Monster Hunter Now Comparison Long Build MHnow mh now

In this video I do a comparison of the different focus skill levels for charged shells for gunlance and demonstrate how much a damage improvement is when accounting for stuff like recovery times. I'm sure this skill is very much meta for gunlance and will be even better once we get more driftmelds in the next event.

all the megaman music is on point. well done protoman!

the only thing is: using kushala arms causes you to lose Lock On on the arms from Rathian Vambraces.

[@petercottantail7850]

even without the comparison, i can see the hunts where you're using focus 4, the shells are coming out much faster.

I still prefer tobi arm over any focus skill arm, the side step range are so noticeable when fighting over monster with huge aoe range

How many frames does lvl5 save?

[@turkysanwtch]

Thanks for the research! Have you considered doing written guides for gunlance? Would be nice to have this info in multiple places.

I'm contemplating on lumu arms cause they give concentration lvl2, I think I'll remove my zinoger helm for azure rath helm for that focus lvl2 with that special attack will still be gained pretty quick👍

Thanks for this. I changed my waist to rath for focus 4. Quick question, would it be more dps to use focus 5 and artillery 2 (or 3 with jho)?

[@kingghidorah2818]

Im conflicted. My build has lvl 4 sneak with lvl 2 focus using a 10.1 dJoe gunlance. I could remove 1 sneak to put 1 more focus. Enemy does show its back from time to time with a charge shot of 3.9k.

How about partbreaker, critical eye & critical boost?

Thanks for this video! 13% is impressive but the lag/overheat can definitely get it to bloody anoying.

Amazing vid, easy to understand especially with video proof. Im rocking this set already, just need to level up the Rath waist a few more times for Grade 8 (same with Kulu waist)

Increíble el video, yo hace poco que empecé con esa build y me ha funcionado de maravilla para conseguir más materiales para mejorarla, como siempre gracias Caoslay 😎🙏✨️👌✨️

Good stuff man!

[@Gamegurlz94]

My guy let’s go

[@XmortoxX1990]

I already have Focus 3 on my build and it's been nice.

[@prideofjustice994]

13,5% !!

[@JooceGooce]

I invested too much into kulu belt so Im just going to ignore rathalos belt and hope arty and focus are available
