Good armor sets that are NOT endgame armors?

First topic message reminder :

I have low rank Gigginox and Rathalos armor sets, but as I'm going through high rank online quests it seems I need better armor. Rathian actually hurts again (yes they are all maxed upgrades)! Any suggestions? Or do I have to wait until 5* online HR 40+ when I can overforge my armor/make high rank armor?

I plan on getting Vangis armor afterwards, so any suggestions for Jho here is also welcome. Killing him via Peco is hurting my Mega Potion stash.

[quote="Crystalis]lancing seems optimal, and I noticed Agnaktor armor has good lance skills.[/quote]
Anga would be somewhat of a good use, but knowing on how Jho doesnt really stand still very long. So it'd obvious he'll be attacking a lot. Which is why i use Barioth armor for the evade skill. saved me alot. XP

What weapon type did you use?

Oh if you're planning on putting the most pain to Jho as possible then I'd highly recommend evade lancing. Just a standard Bari+ set and I think an Amphitrite (P) should be doing max damage for your level. Of course, the Amph isn't required, just the best for where you're at against Jho. (assuming of course that Thunder is Jho's secondary weakness, and that an Ancient lance upgrade doesn't out-damage it)

The evade part of the lancing is the tricky part, but done right it essentially makes you a very mobile anti-Jho tank. There's a video floating around somewhere on these very forums of some insane Japanese person killing a Jho in... 3 minutes I think? Something like that... I can't for the life of me remember where it was posted though.

Just goes to show just how ridiculous evade lancing is in general, especially against Jho.

Man, I STILL use bnahabra+.
Gemmed with bari parts ftw ;)

Actually, I believe that was with a longsword in the Land Lords arena quest with Barroth, Urugaan and Deviljho, which probably makes the monsters weaker, I think. That video was crazy. All three done in like 10 minutes.

I used my High undertaker, well now my Skyscraper Lance.

My bad, I have fuzzy memory. :P

Hi, I'm new to these forums. I have read some of the topics. (including this one)
I'm 13
My hunters are:
Troy, HR 127
Eskpoo, HR 64
Mike, finished offline, never taken them online /no/

Anyway, as I was going to say. You can start gathering los parts from double trouble urgent at HR 35, someone else will have to post it though. (you can only join)
You can only over forge the chest and belt, but you can go mining at HR 40 to get the firecell stones you need to over forge the rest. I over forged my los armor at HR 40, then me, loving evasion, get bari+ armor at HR 43.

I hope I was clear enough for people to understand what I was trying to say.
But, it is my first time on these forums.

You deserve a plus for that :p

Peco armor! You can do ala with peco armor. 4 Wide-Range +2 heal 24/7 = OP support of sustaining survivability.
