Just recently started playing again, and my hunter is spec’d with golden fists in mind. I’m looking for what is currently the best set up for a forged golden fist.
I have no idea what works best for buffs, but let me know if anyone has anyone or could make some for me.
Everybody is different - I personally won’t buy a fist if it doesn’t have range on it. I need that for meteor hunts. Extra damage is fine, but I don’t need it with my skills and occasional brew. The fist will one or two shot most things.
Being a crit base weapon I usually focus on that but I can see that being an option. For iron fists though they definitely become snipers. Max range, damage, and armor/light/loot (definitely my go to)
If I use fists. I normally double fist it. One with auto loot, hard as nails and durability. The other with damage, action Speed and range(or critical)
I should have a few in Giorgio Oortmani’s in the legendville mall.
I will be forging more soon as my selection is limited right now.
I like to grapple to a tower during hunts (so that I don’t get hit on the ground with bombs or yeeted by wildstock)…and sniper shoot everything. So grapple in one hand, fist in the other
I like to be right in the middle of it. Speed brew is a must as well. A fast fist is like a machine gun. It’s fun jumping to the side when a wildstock is charging you.
I been playing a fist build since 1.0 and so I can honestly say that Yes, gold are stronger because they are a crit base weapon if you use it as such. And elementals creatures appear to be damage every time as long as long as it crits.(it will resist a lot of non-crits tho) however Iron is dirt cheap to make, base damage is good so you don’t gotta focus on 3 different boons you can play around with range, speed, tough as nails, is super effective up T4 and you begin seeing a decrease it the effectiveness at T5s. (Most hunts are happening at t4s so an iron fist is definitely a viable option and it doesn’t have arch like bows)
(Of course if you got gem weapons I would suggest using gem bows at t5+ over fists)
I used to buy mine from there all the time, but it seemed like their stock dwindled a bit and I wasn’t able to find any that I liked. Haven’t been there in awhile.
I started getting Skylight to make mine bc he was able to forge them to my specs
Another question while I’m sure it’s posted somewhere else. Does anyone have a recommended skill spec for fists? Most of the choices are obvious, but I figured I’d ask.
