Challenger Vs. AUL

Wondering what the community thinks about the new skill challenger. I have been playing around with two sets of armor o e is the brachy set with challenger +1, AUM, bombardier, adrenalin +1. The other is a volvi set with AUL, bombardier, evasion +1, tremor proof.

When the monster is enraged my damage is higher with challenger than when just using AUL. The trade off is that the monster is not always enraged. Wondering if anyone else has played around with this and what they concluded.

I am using the dios LS for this. When I am using my elemental swords I go with AUL, and evasion +2.

Challenger+2 is best used on Diablos, Deviljho, Savage Deviljho, and any other mob who is easily enraged. I'd use Challenger +2 on DS; hammer and gs should use AuL because they do a lot of damage in one hit, since challenger +2 gives AuM and ce+3. if you are using normal or pierce ammo on a hbg, challenger +2 would be better, and it works nicely on LS. I won't recommend Challenger +1 at all.

There are better armor sets that give attack up skills than challenger skills. Not to mention attack is a B- rank skill while challenger is a A rank skill. Definitely go for attack up.
