Several Questions Pertaining to Equipment.

Typing this with a 3DS...so give me a little slack.

I've attempted to do a little bit of calculations for Longsword damage with the Akantor Broadsword S, Ukanlos Slicer, Last Gaelic Flame, C. Blango Destroyer, and Hellish Slasher. The Slasher is apparently not worth it whatsoever, but one thing I am wondering is if purple sharpness is really needed? Would I be able to get away with white or blue?
I plan (more of a dream, really...) to use the full Fatalis Z or White Fatalis Z and gem them for Evade/Constitution and SSI. I'm attempting to specialise in Longswords and Dualswords.
Is it possible to attain HR8 with just using the Narga S? Or would there be a reasonable combination of armor using the Akantor Claw and Hessian?
I appreciate any answers, but please refrain from suggesting other armor combinations for end-game. I'm sticking to either Fatalis Z or its White counterpart.

Akantoe melee weapons are worthless as while they possess a high raw their damage modifiers are low due to low sharpness, so just trash them unless you are using it for fun. Same for Ukanlos slicer, it's...decent. but the bad affinity and lack of ever attaining purple sharpness kill it, C Blango Destroyer is good though, not sure about Gaelic or Slasher .

Gah...trying to find a decent ice LS for HR6 Black Diablos and something for Black Gravios. Only they stand in my way for the Guild Akantor...

@Nova: I swear I read your same response on another forum. Did you just copy and paste?
I know the Akantor and Ukanlos longswords are borderline useless, and that everyone worships the C. Blango due to having lots of purple sharpness and being "easy" to get. I hate fighting Blangonga...
You didn't answer any of my questions; just told what the best longsword is...which is, as I put it, worshipped on every gaming forum by the "pro" players.

EDIT: Not to sure what happened, but I was able to kill the Black Gravios...
Narga S Helm (melee helm for defense)
Narga S Vest
Cenataur U Gunner gloves
Rathalos S Tasset
Akantor gunner boots (yeah...not sure about names)

1st attempt: Using the hermitaur HBG (I think), but got destroyed for the third time before the 15 min mark...
2nd attempt: Great Arbalest Gun. Abandoned at 12 sec left.
3rd attempt: Gemmed the armor for Evade+1 (only skill) and improved the gun (upgrades and long barrel). 27 minutes were left on the timer when Gravios collapsed...what the *bleep*?!
...
Not sure what to think...

27 minutes for a black grav? Ouch. Next time, make sure to bring water shots, and aim for his head/wings. Since water shots also pierce, they're fantastic for taking gravvy out quickly. Pierce shots work wonders too, and remember to stay at his sides to avoid the rotating laser.
