I've been using the GS for a while now and I've noticed that it's a very terrifying weapon due to the insane amount of damage it does in one hit. I've searched the internet on how the damage is calculated and here is what I've found out.
Charging the GS grants it a bonus charge damage multiplier which is dependent on which level of charge was used
The unsheathe attack can also be considered the level 0 charge and it doesn't have any multiplier.
The level 1 charge gets a bonus multiplier of 1.1.
The level 2 charge gets a bonus multiplier of 1.2.
The level 3 charge gets a bonus of a whooping 1.3.
Say we have a maxed out raw GS relic with a natural purple sharpness. The displayed damage on that GS would be 1728 but since MH4U has weapon modifiers to hide the true attack value, we divide 1728 with 4.8 which is the modifier for the GS to get the true attack value.
The true attack value would now be 360. This is just the raw GS itself and doesn't have any other added attack bonuses for now.
I have a mixed set made out of GX Hunter parts that have the following skills:
Focus
Crit Draw
Weakness Exploit
Attack Up XL
Rock Steady
Quick Sheath
Slow Sharpening (Negative skill)
This set will be the basis of my calculations.
To the important stuff!
1.With this set and every food/item buff eaten/added my total raw is now 417.
2. Purple sharpness grants a 1.45 bonus damage sharpness modifier.
3.The hitzone we'll use is an enraged Teostra's head which is 0.6 for cutting or 0.65 with the Weakness Exploit skill.
4. This will be a 140 Teostra having a defense modifier of 0.65
5. Maxed out GS relics have a -10% affinity when upgraded but we'll just have to assume that the attack we do is a critical granted by the Crit Draw skill which gives an added 100% affinity on unsheathing attacks.
*Crit Draw isn't an auto critical it just adds 100 affinity meaning the GS we are using has an innate draw attack affinity of 90. Critical attacks do 1.25x more damage.
6. We'll also use Might Seeds because Might Seeds adds 10 true attack for 3 minutes and is more easier to produce than Might Pills but do use Might Pills if have them in absurd quantities. Might Pills adds 25 more true attack by the way!
7. We are using the level 3 charge.
8. If you hit the monster with the center of your blade you do 1.05x more damage.
9. We ate for Felyne attack up L which adds 7 true damage.
10. Attack Up XL adds 25 true damage.
11. We won't be using Felyne heroics.
12. We'll also fit in the Power Charm/Talon into the equation because if both of those items are inside your inventory you gain 15 more true attack. Don't ever forget to bring these!
On to the equation!
(True Raw) x (Sharpness) x (Motion Value) x (Charge Bonus) x (Crit Draw) x (Center Of Blade) x (Defense Modifier) x (Hitzone) = Damage Output
417 x 1.45 x 1.1 x 1.3 x 1.25 x 1.05 x 0.65 x 0.65 = 479.47 or 480
That is a lot of damage for just a single hit and this is just raw damage only.
Teostra has 5300 base HP but if he's a level 140 Teostra his HP triples to 15900.
The scenario for the equation I've created is more oriented on solo hunting thus it lacks Hunting Horn buffs which add a massive 20% more damage on encore.
I've been playing MH for so long that I've become interested on how they compute the damage! And this proves how devastation a pin point level 3 GS hunter is! Even if you don't have a maxed out relic and say you only have the Rouge Sedition which has 310 true raw if honed for attack you'll do (Let me just substitute the values for a sec) 422 which is still a lot!
Don't worry and do some high level guild quests and one day you'll get your overpowered GS relic. Happy hunting!
