Spoiler:

So I was planning on trying out status gunning the Four Point Formation quest, but I'm only going to have my two other brothers to use the Arken HBG. So my question is what all will I have to do different as a status gunner with only two other Arkens?

If someone has the time, a full description of everything that's supposed to be done would be nice, as I still don't know exactly what all I'd need to do with 3 other players.

I list of items that I'll need would be nice to, if you somehow have an extreme overabundance of time.

You actually made a thread about 4ptF awhile ago, Antari and I both explain how to do it.

Yeah, I saw that. It's what I've been going on so far, but I don't think it fully explains what the Status gunner is supposed to do when there are only two other gunners.

How well does Slime work on Jhen Mohran? I don't have any decent Ice weapons yet, but I do have Brachy Duals.
Gotta 'splode fast

Due to the large amount of health that the Jhen Morhan has, Slime itself isn't very effective against it. However, assuming they are your most powerful weapons, you can still use them.

If you happen to have a good dragon weapon, that also works well on the Jhen Morhan.

Slime works decently.
It will certainly break those fangs of his easily if you have trouble getting those.

About dodging with Dual Swords - is it me, or do you get Evade +1 while Demonized?
Also, does the same apply to ArchDemon Mode?

I'm asking because while hunting my first MH3U Nargacuga (which, by the way, I wrecked,) I seemed to have an easier time dodging, among other moves, its roar, because I had Cha-Cha with the Felyne Mask, meaning it was practically perma-raged.

Every dodge (even without evade +1 or +2), has an invulnerability period. You can time it better under demon mode because it is such a quick dodge. The other dodges take longer to animate, so only those with much practice know exactly when that dodge window happens.

Normal evasion is 1/5 of a second. Evasion +1 gives you 1/3 of a second invulnerability, and Evasion +2 gives you .4 seconds (just slightly less than 1/2 of a second). Most people don't need more than 1/3 of a second. So, evasion +2 is a waste for what you get. Use those slots for more productive points when possible.
