Not a big nerf but should be more manageable at least now

I agree!!
That fucking online 2-bar netcode M.Bison level of teleporting spam during stage 4 gave me several panic attacks.

Me personally, I’m really saddened by this. The enjoyment of Leshen was the very fact that he was doing Dictator Teleports all over the place as if he’d been watching the SF2:AM which really made him an imposing monster in the Final Stages that we hadn’t seen since the days of Ext. Behe.
Monsters like this should really be left alone because the leniency of MHW is already large enough as it is. Defeating A. Leshen felt extremely satisfying and as one who had quite a bit of failures against this individual, I’m really sad to hear about this nerf.
This nerf is going to make a huge difference in terms of success simply due to the fact that from my own personal experience, most of the time that the teams I’d run randomly with, we’d usually failure at the Final Stage, which is really where this patch nerfs A. Leshen.
It won’t really be as fun anymore for me personally due to this, and I’m just glad that I was able to successfully defeat it enough times already (literally had to do it again due to the save corruption I stated days ago) to obtain the items required in order to craft the Witcher items/gears, prior to Pre-Nerf.
It’s like fighting CE. Dictator, then you’re given HF. Dictator afterwards…
CE Dictator isn’t fun to fight tho.
Found this in my PC gunner character account weapon box!!!
This thing melts everything in record time, from low rank scrub monsters to tempered Elders.
THIS IS THE TRUE “BUSS-ASS” SHOTGUN HBG!!
Just get the spread jewel…or Lavasloth pants for Spread ammo boost…build for damage and/or KO, aim for the head…and then…
GO TO WORK.
Nerfs don’t matter when you’re teamed up with randoms who still die the same way they die to other monsters. I mean, would it hurt to stop and look at the Leshen’s tells for a moment to prepare/react to its shit?

Maybe CE. Dictator wasn’t the best choice, however I’m just not a fan of nerfing monsters imo. However, I’m assuming the complaints were enough to reach the Capcom reps, unless this was their plan from the get go.
Yeah d3v, I’ve run through some randos who know not what to do. Had a GS user whom did nothing but try to Lvl3 the whole time…literally got face planted the entire match. Their was two of us whom had Insurance and he committed to all of the feints.
Sometimes I wonder if their are those whom are either that bad, or else someone whose trolling, or possibly both. How did you get that far, and not contemplate attack patterns at least somewhat.
I mean it’s not like it was nerfed that hard bro.
Any type of nerf to me is too much in any case.
On another note, was watching a video on youtube of an individuals opinion on his top-5 KJarr weapons, and I’m happy that I wasn’t the only one who really liked the Ice CB that he mentions in there.
Dude, EVERYONE knows the Ice CB is basically the best new weapon she has. It is super fucking strong lol

I havent done the ancient Leshen yet, but I honestly found the normal one the exact opposite of fun so I’m for the nerf as the buffed up version sounds even less fun. No constant teleporting is not fun. Its fucking annoying. They don’t even port half that much in Witcher III. I actually ended up kind of disappointed in the fight, it wasn’t fun, it was frustrating. Leshen had waaaaay too much health and the constant Jagras summoning made me want to turn the shit off.
It’s not a fun fight, i can’t imagine the A Leshen was fun either.
I am not I up to date on the current meta (nor do I care for that matter). I’m literally playing for the enjoyment, and when I picked up this weapon, it just felt incredibly powerful. If everyone knew about it, then apparently me and many others that I played with had no idea.
Maybe I probably should update myself with the current meta, however the game itself has been flexible enough for me to not bother.

Sorry for the double post, however I found the solo Leshen run significantly more annoying than the A. Leshen.
This is due to the fact that you aren’t running with your main character and your own personal setup. That to me made it significantly more frustrating than the actual A. Leshen in which you’re running in their full buffed. Not to mention if you wanted to fully complete it, you had to protect the Pukei which made the annoyance level 10x more.
For the solo one, I had to spend time gathering flashbugs so that I had a full stack, along with full honey and herbs to build my pots. If we were running our actual main, the solo mission would not be nowhere that bad.
I don’t mind the frustrating fights, the A. Leshen was the only one that felt more near Ext. Behe’s level of bs.
I wasn’t saying that cause “meta” it’s just the element is out of control high. If you’ve played with element CB at all before you’d immediately be able to tell it’s strong. Like, it wrecks Diablos and Odo easily and so fast, and on ATKT the SAED phials on the head can do 200-300 PER phial. Shit’s nuts lol
I never really bothered with any other CB, besides say the Dante one, simply because as I’ve stated so many times on here…I choose aesthetics over stats. So many times, I don’t care to sit there and go “Wow, crazy ele numbers.”
It was a new KJarr CB I got, and decided to use it, and only started to see the damage numbers, which prompted me to actually look.
Even then the coolest CBs are element IMO but they are also all weak
And anyway my main point is just that it is incredibly powerful. Specifically, you mention it as an opinion but I’m simply commenting on that because but it’s not just his opinion, most people who have it or have seen it in action all can agree it’s one of the strongest weapons in the game among all weapons vs the right monsters. I wasn’t like berating you or anything
I know you’re not berating me, I’m just stating reasons as to why I don’t bother, or didn’t know why it was that powerful.
Even with this new CB badboy…I can’t switch out of the Dante CB. Aesthetically it looks too amazing, and the fact that the rest of the CB turns into an Axe during it’s most powerful swings is why I can’t stand to look at it when I’m running the weapon.
Not a huge fan of axes within the gaming world (real world it’s different of course) but happy with the Dante CB. Hopefully they make an upgrade to it in the future.

The new Kjaar Ice CB retired the Diablos Tryannus and put it on the shelf.
That shit is the new “BUSS-ASS” CB!!
Also if your dual blade main you better do the Witcher 3 event quests!!
The new dual blades are OP and gives your character a superpowered effects to their dash in demon mode.
Is Arch-Temp Kush, really worth the trouble? His arms are supposedly good for charge blade mains…
Because, Jesus fuck he’s annoying.
