High Rank Equipment Opinions

So, I've got a question, I managed to slither my way to HR6 using only low rank Kirin armor but now I'm freaking sick of it...

Now, i've got Full Rathalos Soul U, Full Ceanataur S, Full Supreme Mizuha(Chammy) Set
and I really wanna get that Kaiser S cause it looks badass, except for the -dragon resistance.

But high rank Teo is such a pain without dragon element.. and eternal strife's not good enough for me.

So should I make Azure Ogre Sword(involves Lao Ruby y'all know how painful that is) or should I just make Smolder Dragonsword and poke him to death?
Also any other armor suggestions? btw, Silver Sol = 5 rath rubies. lol not worth it IMO
Blue Prominence - 1 Ruby
Gun Chariot - 1 Ruby
Los and Ian Dual blades - 1 Ruby
tons of other uses ^

Full Narga S is a decent armour set since it's quite easy to get once you get a handle on his attack patterns, I think it only requires one rare narga brain stem - just chop off his tail and capture a couple of times. It does have awful elemental resistance but I think the skills (when nicely gemmed) make up for that since you can dodge almost any fireball/thunder shock.

I am actually going for Narga S again right now in my second playthrough.

EDIT: Also it looks awesome, not quite as good as Rathalos S but good nonetheless.

I was thinking of getting Narga S myself, but meh.. the armor skills you can get from narga S can be matched by button timing and experience alone. the elemental resistance was crappy too, only sad thing about high rank armors is you get to replace them once G-rank is available. :roll: I plan on getting that rajang armor and on to G-rank for me Raawr!

Hehe, any decent base raw defence armour that doesn't require much grinding; I'm f*cking getting lol ( & )

Hermitaur Z is pretty easy to get. Gives you Guts, so you can survive 1hKO's.

Yep that was actually my first G-level armour in my previous playthrough, but in my opinion it's too damn ugly for a hunter :P, I dropped it ASAP.

lol, hermitaur z is probably one of the best available at HR7, but it's ugly as hell! Even though I favor lance and gunlances more than any other weapon, I still wont get hermitaur z till later on. I just decided to stick to my fully upgraded ceanataur s and rath soul u till HR8, I hear most of the good stuff are in there

I strongly suggest using Ceanataur equipment because of its sharpness buffs and you can just gem out the defense reduction. once you're HR8 I suggest going for Ceanataur Z, I'm trying to get it, but I absolutely HATE the terra Shogun. Damn shell.

EDIT: I suggest Smolder Dragonsword, as that weapon and its upgrade (KO Dragonsword) has good attack and great Element, and with the shapness+1 Smolder reaches white and the KODS gets purple.

Caen S or Dark aktor armor for high rank.
