Using Claw weapons in a combo efficiently (HUnewearl).
Players mostly do not like to use Claw weapons because they cannot seem to finish a combo with them (they will attack twice, then get smacked by an enemy making them very frustrated).
The reason this happens is that most players do not have the correct timing for attack with a claw weapon.
Since most Hunters online use God/Battle, the Claw combo will attack too fast.
When an enemy is attacked, it becomes momentarily stunned. If you attack while it is stunned, it will not be stunned again, and inevitably hit you right after the second hit.
What you need to do is perfect your timing, so that you will attack for the second time just as the first stun is ending.
Attack 1 : Any attack, just make sure you don't miss.
Attack 2 : Wait until the very very end of the first attack animation, then use a Hard attack to stun the enemy and push him slighty back to buy you a few more fractions of a second.
Attack 3 : If you have timed it correctly you will have enough time to perform one last Hard attack. Execute this attack immediately after the second attack.
This information is based off of the HUnewearl's attack animation with a Claw, and can be applied mostly to Booma type enemies (Merlans/Pal Sharks/Vulmers/etc).
