I don't see why not...

adrenalin increases a certain percentage of  your attack

challenger combines AUL and CE+3

Latent power gives you attack and affinity boost

i don't see why they wouldnd stack

Can anyone tell me what is this hunter's armor set?

I can't tell because its in japanese?

I must follow his set because i have this "I got to follow this pro's set disease to be pro" thanks

Looks like a G rank Vangis Armor set.. Could be mixed (didn't really spend much time looking at it or the video). But since he bombed himself he probably has Fury to get the adrenaline +2. Most likely has other skills gemed in.. All in all though that set will NOT make you a pro, it's how you play that makes you pro. Know the monsters know yourself. The skills are in the player not just the armor sets.

because he showed his armor at the end and he got 3 skills with the + 1 so i'm guessing he doesnt have challenger + 2? maybe im mistaken

You don't need a "pro" set to be good. Like Dcj said it's all about skill. I've seen people with godly armor sets get completely wrecked.

Armor in video is:

Vangis Cap X (Gunner version not Blademaster for the extra point to Fury)
Narga Chest X
Vangis Gloves X
Vangis Waist X
Vangis Legs X

Skills: in video description

Wrath Awoken
Challenger+1
Sharpness+1
Speed Eating+1
Evasion+1

Usually you need Evasion+1 to get through tail slams.

thanks pain how about this guy?

His set is
Skull Mask
Silver Sol Mail (Tenderizer +4)
Nether Vambraces (Maestro +6}
Nether Faulds
Nether Greaves (Maestro +4)
Edgmaster +3 w/ Sharpness +5

gives these skills
Weakness Exploit
Razor Sharp
Honed Blade
Horn Maestro

@ Shindouz

Personally.. I am pretty big into making Mixed sets. It takes a bit of time and skill and a lot of knowledge in what the skills do and what armor pieces do what. Shindouz, what is it you are actually trying to accomplish? if it's the dodging, quick kills or all the above?

With dodging, though evade skills do add to some things you can do knowing the monsters attacks and timing is the major thing overall. Tail sweeps and hip checks can usually be avoided easily if you know the range of the attacks and signs before hand but as said earlier you also need evade +1 to not get hit by a certain amount of it as well..

For quick kills, well that sometimes depends on the monster you are fighting, what it's weak to, the weapon that is best against it and several other factors. Many "Pro" players (i really hate that term by the way) have different armors and weapons depending on which monsters they are hunting and for what reason.

One of the things I also really like about Monster Hunter over.. well most other games all together is that 9 times out of 10 player skill is greater than armor and weapon skill anyday. Don't missunderstand, the weapons and armors are important. If you don't have enough attack, defence and so on you wont get too far but get two players one with a great armor and weapon set but lacking in "player skill" and one with a lesser weapon and armor set but great "Player Skill" the better player may have a weaker weapon and armor set they may do much better over all because they know when and where to attack and dodge and what weaknesses to exploin the monster, overall using what skills the armor and weapons they do have to it's fullest advantage.

Which is why I said earlier:

Armor/armor skill =/= pro player it's the player and their own skills that make someone good or not.

IMO, find the skills and armor that match you best and work best with you, what you like and like doing? Do you know what that is? .. just asking

Anyone can tell me his armor set?
and who can explain how he does 2.26?
A forward dash and then immediately do a horizontal charge blast?

while i research the set, that shot can be done if you do the draw or running attack (the upwards cut) and either tap A really fast (or with expert timing but yay button mashing) or hold R and tap (for charged)

Armor set is 
Barrage Earring
Silver Sol Mail
Gigginox Vambraces X
Zinogre Faulds X
Gigginox Greaves X

Skills are
Artillery Expert Or Part Breaker im kinda guessing with the look of the Japanese
Load Up
Razor Sharp
Status Atk +1
Evasion +1

Problem is Athena says its notpossible to have all five of those skills so im not sure

he has a +6 to one skill and +10 to another in his charm

thanks for the research but u mean I should hold R and tap A before my running attack goes uuper cut?

yeah, i just jam the buttons immediately after doing the thrust, since timing it sucks

For weakness exploit skill on a HH. I often get the black slash effect when I hit a monster somewhere i guess..does that mean that is the part of the monster where it activates weakness exploit of is it just critical hit? I dont get the skill anyway. I kept swinging againts duramboros head and I dont feel the skill weakness exploit is working because unlike challenger and other skill they have a glowing arm LOL!

That black slash effect is negative affinity. Your weapon has a chance of dealing less damage than usual. This is not an effect from Weakness Exploit.

Weakness Exploit is constant and not a visible trait. It works on weakzones that are 45 & up, so attacking Duramboros anywhere other than his humps will not be boosted in damage.

It is possible to get all of those skills. I'm Table 7 and Athena's ASS showed I could get it with a Status+6 Artillery+9 talisman. Not sure what table this player is in but that armor set is possible.

Knowing what charms you can get and how they work with the armors are are really good thing.. with some creative tginking and mixes between different ranking armors you can come up with some pretty diverse skill sets. But it takes time, practice and a lot of knowledge.

no, negative affinity takes a small percentage away from max attack (the only thing that can do "negative" damage is recover shots on monsters

at purple and white sharpness negative affinity barely matters, sure your doing less than full potential but even at blue its about the same as no affinity green

I'm sure if 30% affinity kicks so much ass for end game purple sharp weapons, -30% or so must be really bad. Having 1/4th of your attack reduced at a rather common rate is pretty bad.

idk, I see it as a bad thing to have lol

Shindouz wrote:

WHAT? My Max upgrade Dios HH has chance to deal negative damage? how come does that apply to every weapon?!

I didn't say anything like that lol

Your weapon has no natural negative affinity, so the root of your affinity problem is your armor.

From 0:53 onwards is there any following buttons to that recital combo? he swing it backwards 3 times on dios head so cool. I duno how to recital that combo please help
