Builds, or Mixed Sets, are player-created combinations of equipment for Monster Hunter World. Hunters can change builds by crafting Weapons and Armor, obtaining Charms and Decorations, and then equipping them via their Item Box "Change Equipment" menu.
Players often create different builds for different purposes, accounting for the strengths and weaknesses of their target monster, quest or their favored weapon. Below is a list of player-submitted builds. You can add your own by adding a row to the table. Some users have also submitted builds to the Fextralife Blog here.
See Loadouts for information on configuring a complete and efficient Hunter arsenal.

The support healer tank is useless and broken. Xeno set isn't meant for tanking and there are no tank skills whatsoever. And horn maestro is a useless skill if it was meant for GS users and really it's just Xeno armor that was made to heal others which there are better builds for

I just used full Nergi armor and a defender V hammer along with some decors and jewels and I'm set. Some of these builds are just useless and kinda disappointing for some of them...

You’d think a build called “Dragon Slayer” would be a pure-DPS build that is Val Hazzak or Deviljho centric with an emphasis on actually improving dragon element and damage. It’s especially scary that neither of the tank builds tell you to use Uragaan armor, which has a set bonus that screams “I’M THE TANK ARMOR!” The one “tank” build is clearly more focused on solo-survivability than actual tanking, and the other is a DPS build that’s improperly labeled. Hell, why would THAT HIGH of Earplug tank ever be necessary for a tank?? The only monster that it’s sensible against is Lunastra because it’s the only monster that is an actual threat while you’re roar-staggered, and that’s only after it uses it’s AoE Elderdragon Ability.

Yeah I'm inclined to agree these aren't early game builds and should be removed. Also all of the tank builds are worthless compared to mine keep ur 1k defense wont save you from heavy impacts or one shots. My build can fully block behemoth and it only uses 450 defense.

Added my 3 main builds. Insect Glaive, Charge Blade and Long Sword. Give me your feedback if you think you can help me to improve it ! They're not "Meta" builds but after multiple tests, they are definitely viable. :D

Someone delete this entire section. It's a waste of time and energy. It's unrealistic to think that anyone would be able to forge any of these builds at even close to the listed ranks considering quite a few of those gems are farmed from T2 tempered quests. You should change this entire list to about HR 20+ minimum. In fact, just delete it. Some of these builds are complete wastes. Then again, what to expect from a copy paste job eh?

You can tell no work/effort was put into the "Blue King" build. 5 slots basically have nothing. Somebody please delete this...

Bow Build: (any bow) Dragonking helm a flawless jewel II (x1) Nergigante mail b resistor jewel I (x1) flawless jewel II (x1) teosra bracers b flawless jewel II (x1) xeno jiva tasset a migthybow jewel II (x1) Kushala greaves b forceshot jewel III (x1) fitness charm III total skills bow charge plus (1/1) normal shots (1/1) special ammo boost (1/2) peak performance (3/3) weakness exploit (3/3) evade extender (2/3) constitution (3/5) stamina surge (2/3) blight resistance (3/3) for me personally I feel like evade extender lv 2 and the minimal stamina help is enough to keep me safe and getting constant value from peak performance however if you feel like you're taking too many hits or running out of stamina feel free to swap out your least favorite damage jewel(s) for extra evade extension or constitution. hope this helps :)

Yes, I have to agree with these comments, the dragon king does require careful attention https://www.stanpost.com
