Eat your heart out verocildrome armor.
Also I plan to solo Fire Fight. Expect to see me in the local mental asylum because that quest is delightful.
One of the monsters involved in that herculean ordeal has a large number of AOE attacks (and our other friend likes to spam his heat speaking DEATH BLASTS OF DOOM.) so I plan to gem evade extender on to my seregios set to counter that.
But naturally the two monsters can slaughter you pretty quickly if they get in the same area and it's worth noting that their two have had their paths scripted to make "if they get together" become WHEN. This means I'll have to keep autotracker to keep tabs on our good friends so negate stun will have to be dropped for evade extender.
As for palicos, I don't have any good defensive palicos who can last long on G-rank but my support palico Gummi has the ability "Speedy Recovery" so he's probably going to be my best bet (the free shock traps will be nice also)
Basically... Expect to see me go insane pretty soon
