^ not to say that monsters in MHGens are generally weaker than they were in 4U. The game not having a G-rank (therefore, G-rank levels of health) also greatly helps shelling to be quite effective.

As for what i was saying about WFing in red, that's just a question of pragmatism. Better try to be in red as soon as possible to get both the opportunity of WFing and getting the damage boost. If you just want the WF then yes, get to orange and boom.
