Been giving it some more time and just...i keep getting more frustrated with this game's design.
Weapon balance is shit. on top of this it seems certain monsters require specific weapons if you don't want to be wasting your time doing nothing(not just elemental weakness)
Mobility is piss poor, especially with enemies like embermane who literally run ****ing footballs fields over and over while you can kinda run quickly? Even with hammer double jump you maybe get one hit in before he does it again. Which goes into..
stamina regen is abysmal. It is god damn atrocious, especially with how much of it you're using, especially since while sheathing prevents usage from running, you have no proper unsheath attacks.
Also the game doesn't have client side hit boxes, meaning if the game decides your perfect dodge wasn't good enough on its end you're suddenly on the ground missing health. This is awful. Even MHFU knew not to break away from this given that it's PvE and timing is everything in these games.
I really want to like you Dauntless, but god damn it you keep giving me reasons not to.
