as for what we the hunter are capable of with our weapons, might be a little overtuned but i think that's part of the fun of what they were going for in this one; just every 'pipe-dream' trait or move or addition player's (might) have always wanted added to theirs
for me wilds being too easy always meant that the monsters don't have nearly enough health or high enough breakpoints / stagger thresholds mostly
i always thought Their damage was fine, pls no more 2-shots
my only nitpick about the new gathering hub / grand hub in wilds is not being able to eat any of ur own normal custom meals at the little tavern next to the quest npcs
